Blades in the Dark | Campaign

About the adventure

The city of Doskvol is a dark and haunted place, a sprawling industrial metropolis where the sun is a distant memory, ghosts lurk in the alleys, and crime is not just a way of life—it’s survival. In this narrative-driven, action-packed campaign, you and your crew of daring scoundrels will carve out your place in the criminal underworld, pulling off daring heists, outmaneuvering ruthless factions, and risking everything for coin, power, and legacy. Whether you’re a whisper wielding forbidden arcane powers, a cutter enforcing your will with brute strength, or a slide charming your way into the highest echelons of society, your choices will shape the fate of your crew—and possibly the entire city. Will you rise to power, betray your allies, or be consumed by the dangers that lurk in the darkness?
