Shadows of Doskvol: A Blades in the Dark Campaign

Doskvol is an old, haunted city. Ghosts roam the streets, elemental powers are being harnessed by the most reckless of scientists, and order is a distant memory. Law is whatever the highest bidder wants it to be, and gangs rule their territories like monarchs. Vices are everywhere here, from drug peddlers, to street brawls, to people gambling their savings away. But perhaps the most lucrative method of all is theft. That's where you come in.

You are one of a ragtag gang of criminals in the Victorian city of Doskvol, hoping to make your fortune through theft, assassination, smuggling, or any number of other methods, recruited by a mysterious information broker and thrust into the underworld of the city. Will you rise up the ranks of the city's gangs, or be consumed by the underworld you jumped into?

• This is a Blades in the Dark campaign, starting at Tier 0, and running for terms 1, 2 and some of term 3, working around exam dates.
• This will be an in-person campaign, with 3-hour long sessions held at some point over the weekend, once per week.
• I am more than willing to teach the system, so if you haven't played Blades before, but want to, don't let that stop you!
• Blades is a system that focuses almost entirely on roleplaying and narrative, so may not be what you are looking for if you want intense strategic combat, but is more suited to those who want to immerse themselves into their character.
• The tone of the sessions will be light-hearted, but with plenty of opportunities for serious character moments.
