Man I love the Blades system. We’re actually running the Shadowrun hack of it, and it’s been a hoot.
There’s a Shadowrun hack?!

Thank you :)
That meme format only works if the last 2 panels have the same message.
Idk it works well enough here
Blades in the dark is such a monkey’s paw for me. I’m happy people are playing something that’s not dnd nor a close relative, but I don’t actually like it very much.
It felt very downward spiral to me, which I do not like at all. I’ve got “and you’ll never fully recover” enough in real life. The book (or maybe just a quick start pdf the guy in my old group gave us) was like “horrible things will happen to your character! They’ll suffer and break! It’s going to be fun” and I was like no thank you.
Also I didn’t really like the group I played it with that much, so that didn’t help.

Maybe! The way stress, harm, and trauma worked seemed to be pretty baked in, but I haven’t done a lot of digging. You could probably make some hacks to allow easier recovery, but I’ve been happy with Fate instead.

Ya several of the Forged in the Dark games change the way these mechanics work. They’re great fun still.
