About the adventure

"We are all trapped in this place. City of factories, wondrous sparkcraft and illegal cults, city of legal corruption and righteous crimes. We are not most people. We break laws, screw with ghosts and refuse to grind our life in the system, only to die and find no rest. The sunlight was shattered, and we're all the better for it, for we are blades in the dark. Welcome to Doskvol. Don't go down quietly." Welcome all newbies and veterans to my Blades's game! This game is a sort of Peaky Blinders with ghosts. The setting is industrial-fantasy. Players roleplay members of a criminal Cult with their own sheet and attributes, Each protagonist has one of these base archetypes, who will be Competent Player Characters - they'll have a plan for situations their players don't even fathom: -The Cutter; -The Hound; -the Leech; -the Lurk, -the Slide, -the Spider; -The Whisper; And together they do heists, chases, contend with occultism and ancient horror gods, engage in gang wars, strike deals, and make a fortune - or die trying! Tools used: *Roll20 *Discord for voice chat, with Streamyards as alternative.
