Blades in the Dark / Sourwine Shakedown / Robinson / Four Horsemen Comics
Details
The card game in the back room never paid tribute — and the local gangs don't forget that kind of disrespect.
Sourwine Shakedown is a Blades in the Dark one-shot for a crew of bravos and territory-holders making their name in the criminal underworld. This session leans into the game's territory and holdings mechanics, putting your crew's reach and reputation directly on the table.
You're not here for a quick smash-and-grab. Other crews take the jobs where they get in and get out — this one's about getting stuck in and staying stuck in.
- Territory and holdings take center stage
- Tense negotiation as much as open violence
- A crew job, not a solo score
- Built for players who want to dig in, not cut and run
Content note: Mature themes including gang violence and possible reference to drugs.
Pay up, or don't. Either way, this job doesn't end quiet.
Pre-generated characters available or bring your own — no prior experience with Blades in the Dark required. Free SRD rules are available on the Blades in the Dark website. Making characters is fairly easy, but pre-generated characters will be available just in case. Future sessions will open up building your own character as the campaign grows, hopefully in a style similar to West Marches.
Please note mature themes, violence anticipated.
