Just appreciating #ttrpg experiences. I am several sessions into one player #Pendragon (#pendragon6 ) with my mom. Starting the Battle of Carlion against Lothians, Gorrians, Picts, Saxons and more.
And
my son joined us for #Bladesinthedark (#bitd #bitd_deepcuts ) and an exciting session zero that instantly leaped to cosmology and the unknown and arcane Iruvian and Undying Emperor connection? pact? strange bedfellows? all this and the Fractures.
🚨 L’#OTAN fixe le cap : 5 % du PIB pour la sécurité d’ici 2035.
Mais la France n’est pas prête à suivre.
Une étude de la @SCET_Groupe (filiale de la @caissedesdepots) alerte : industrie de défense saturée, tensions sur l’emploi, risque de décrochage stratégique. #BITD

Blades in the Dark Report:
We're flying a Stealth Hydrogen Balloon over Ironhook Prison to break out our Patron
But his ex-employers have sent agents to stop us. Our Cutter and Lurk are holding them off
The balloon is under attack by Smoke Sprites, corroding the sparktek engine and threatening to ignite the Hydrogen tanks
Our Whisper and Leech are holding them off
Our Hound is looking for targets.
Tune in next week to find out if we plummet to our doom!
Heute jetzt dafür Vorbereitung für #DerEineRing2e am Sonntag. Mal schauen wie das klappt.
Morgen sind wir vorher aber erst mal Spieltester für ein Piraten-Cthulhu Szenario mit Blades in the Dark (BitD) Regeln.
Ich weiß gerade nicht, ob diese SL uns schon mal #BitD untergejubelt hat, kann gut sein, aber wenn nicht, ist es glaube ich das erste Mal, dass ich das System bespiele.
Yay! 😀

🇫🇷🇪🇺 Déjà que certains industriels français (et européens) de la défense avaient peurs quand l’ogre #Rheinmetall entrait dans la pièce…mais adosser à #Anduril, l’industriel allemand risque de mettre les « miquettes » à beaucoup d’autres qui tentaient de lui résister. #BITD
Blades in the Dark Session Report:
Under the guise of being flunkies to Marquis Cardamon Pertwee, potential heir to the late Lord Strangford, we snuck into the the Reserved Areas of Strangford House, to interrogate the Forgotten God guarding the Lord's Journals.
We managed to swap some information, but decided not to push our luck too far. It was asking some very searching questions.
But we managed to steal some silverware and a fancy ashtray on the way out!
Presumably these were completely virtual. Whatever the officer or crewman needed for their assignment was what was there.
#BITD, I worked for #SunMicrosystems. They had a product, Sun Ray, that was a keyboard+display that just displayed bits from the server (think X Window w/s but not). The trick was that your session could follow you - you popped your Java card into the nearest system and your desktop was there - no boot time.
Galaxy class was the same, but no card.
🇫🇷🇺🇦 Annonce forte du ministre @SebLecornu au micro de @margothaddad.
Un géant de l’auto français va produire des drones en #Ukraine avec une PME de la #BITD.
Objectif : fusionner le génie tactique ukrainien avec la puissance industrielle tricolore.

@tabcreations.com In a recent mini-campaign, I intentionally incorporated structured downtime inspired by #BladesInTheDark and I was really happy with how it gave the PCs opportunities to grow relationships with NPCs, find leads for jobs, mitigate fallout from old jobs, and improve their home.
Tonight the Ferrymen return to Doskvol ... just as the Jinn's latest score kicks off and boy was it a doozy!
The Jinn summoned a demon, stole very important bell, basically changed the very fabric of the city !!!
We'll see how the Ferrymen manage in the chaos that follows
Blades in the Dark Session Report:
A simple heist - infiltrate the Supply Warehouse, poison the Cheese so that the crew of the salvage ship are struck down with "The Green Curse"!.
All goes well, until the *real* curse arrives - a half-form Tycherosi demon-engine, hungry to be made flesh!
I forced it back into slumber... for now... but it has my scent...
Working on some Blades in the Dark prep today.
The random tables in the back are terrific! A few d6 rolls and you've got a fairly well realized NPC
Which #forgedinthedark #fitd game is best for a Swords & Sorcery kind of play? In other words, which #bladesinthedark #bitd clone is a good alternative for the world's most famous d20 game?

🇫🇷 La @Dga simplifie, accélère, assume sa transformation.
Mais le @DG_Armement prévient : les donneurs d’ordres imposent parfois plus de contraintes que l’État lui-même.
Réarmement oblige, la #BITD doit aussi faire sa part.

My mini-campaign mashing up #Genesys and #BitD came to a close last night. I'd had some grandiose (complicated) plans in the beginning about Blades subsystems I would adapt, but in the end, simplicity won out.
I liked structured downtime for getting everyone a couple vignettes between heists, handling gear on the fly during the heist, and heat hanging over the PCs heads as a motivator. Establishing rival/ally NPCs at the start was also great.
I learned some good #GMing lessons.
Last minute prepping for tonight's mashup of #Genesys and #BitD. This is session 8 and will wrap up our mini-campaign. Hopefully 3 hours is enough time to sabotage Lord Dalmore's coalworks and give each of the 4 PCs an opportunity to shine.
Menu: crockpot fajitas, black bean and corn salsa, pantry-clearing cornbread, all homemade. I really like coming together over a meal in combination with gaming.
@IcarusGames We've got our #Genesys Alpha Centauri game starting in just a couple hours. If all goes well we'll be recovering some rocket stabilizers out from under the noses of a violent gang hopped up on combat stims, preferably without getting shot.
Then on Tuesday I GM the explosive conclusion of our mashup of Genesys and #BitD!
