Blades in the Dark | Campaign
About the adventure
In the world where Sun exploded and demons run free, the humanity lives in cities protected by electroplasmic barriers. In one such city - Doskvol - there's a band of criminals seeking glory and riches. Yup, that's you and your gang. Are you ready to throw it down with meanest and hardest criminals and law officers alike? ✨ Survive on the streets of dystopian Doskvol! ✨ Face off against thugs, politicians, vampires and more! ✨ Death is only a beginning - take revenge on your killers as Ghost, Vampire or android-like Hull!
Game style
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

Marcin is fantastic at providing a fun and welcoming environment for his players to goof off and is great at integrating his player's own ideas into the game. His games are super chill with great vibes and I've encountered almost no drama among any of the players at his table. He's also been transparent about scheduling and is always careful to respect his player's boundaries. I'd recommend him for anyone looking a chill GM and a safe gaming environment with a big focus on character drama and player creativity.

Maarcin is a DM who is good at finding a balance between what players want to do and what can be achieved through the mechanics of the game. They are very encouraging of player creativity both in and out of game.

Marcin is very creative game master, always making sure you are having fun ad surprising you at every step with exciting storytelling.

I think the best thing that comes to my mind is that Marcin is very helpful to new players, creates a relaxed atmosphere and is always excited about the game. He is really welcoming and can teach you a lot. If you like also more laid back, chill sessions - Marcin would be my best pick. He quickly adapts to players and their choices.

I’ve been looking for a GM for a while and Marcin was recommended to me by a friend. We have already played a few times and he’s great! He knows the rules well and is patient with beginners. Highly skilled player :)

How to prepare
Heyo! Make sure your mic is working and you have a roll20 account. You can read through rules and character sheets on https://bladesinthedark.com/basics Character sheets are especially important, make sure you have at least 2 favourites!
What I provide
We'll be playing using Discord and Foundry. Blades in the Dark favors explosive action with twists during the scores and offers occasions for slower roleplaying during downtime between the heists. I really like it for the dystopian, grimdark feel of the world, the stark contrast between poor and rich,and easy rules system that allows you to jump straight into playing. I play to find out and love coming up with ways to realize players' ideas. For each heist I prepare a rough plan with obstacles and dangers, ensuring that whatever my players will throw at me - I'll have an answer!
