About the adventure
💰 Execute Heists ✔️ ⚔️ Claim Your Turf ✔️ 🔮 Control the Occult ✔️ ☠ Laugh in the face of death✔️ War lurks in a grim city! An industrial mafia and an exotic mercenary group battle over a substance that keeps ghosts and demons at bay, while the city of Doskvol burns in the background. Do you and your motley crew of scoundrels have a side in this war? Or do you simply take advantage of the situation and build the reputation of your own burgeoning enterprise? These are mean streets, but someone's gotta profit; it might as well be you! Inspired by shows such as "Arcane" (Netflix), "The Wire" (HBO), and "Peaky Blinders" (BBC), this Blades in the Dark Campaign will take players through grand mansions, tenement stacked houses, and beyond within the industrial remnants of Doskvol's electric streets! This campaign is open to players of all experience levels; whether you're new to the game or a veteran, all are welcome! 💭👇 What a Blades player says about my games 👇💭 "I joined in the middle of a campaign, but I didn't feel out of place at all! The group was so nice and welcoming. Before the session even started, Aiman took the time to help me create a character that would fit with what was currently happening... And this GM actually incorporates your backstory! It's not a one and done situation either. He asks questions and encourages any new ideas or changes that may come up in between sessions... It just shows players that their creative efforts matter and it only makes it more worth it to get invested in the world and story, like I am! So yes, the voices are amazing, yes the visual aids and music are great, and yes the world is fun to be in. But one of the most important GM skills that Aiman has is being able to facilitate an environment that is inclusive and safe for anyone of any experience level to be part of. And because of that established line of communication, patience, and honesty, it is so much easier to be creative and play out a story that you and your group build together. So what are you waiting for? Come join and have a blast!" - Myranda

About me
Hi, intrepid heroes! I'm Aiman, but you may call me Toast 🤙🏻🧙🏻♂️ I've been dungeoning dragons for the better part of 9 years. My players have sleuthed, slayed, and swashbuckled through cursed tombs, hijacked Star Destroyers, and bloodstained alleyways. I regularly plunder lore and loot ideas from many a medium, from classic fantasy novels a la Lord of the Rings, to kickass actual play shows like Dimension 20, to movies like that one about that galaxy that's really far from here 💫 All worlds, genres, and folks are welcome! 🤝🏻😊🏳️🌈

Creating your character
Character and crew sheet creation will take place at session 0. Players will be added to the discord game server and sent a link to the Roll20 room where the sheets will be managed. Players are welcome to ask for an additional one-on-one call with the GM prior to the first session to further refine their character in private. In the case that you join the campaign as it is underway and less than 48 hours from a session, you will be provided a pre-generated character for that week's session. A guided character creation call will be scheduled at some point in the following week. Late joiners are encouraged to discuss character ideas among the rest of the group in the game channel via discord before they roll their character sheets.
Weekly campaign, every Friday Night, 7.00PM PST. ---------------------- Crew Type - Bravos (The Black Veil) Party Comp: - Playbook - Alias - Cutter - Mouse - Ghost - Twitch - Lurk - Viper - Whisper - Hollow ---------------------- Situation: Duskvol is changing; strange arcane anomalies have been stirred by powerful nobles, while underworld crews try to capitalise on a coming power vacuum as the fuel source for the Lightning Barriers is drying up. Our crew, The Black Veil, are one such faction. But instead of doing it purely for the coin, they aim to seize power to help those affected by a war long past. And if they don't, a new one may start soon... ---------------------- New players will be added to the game server upon approval and are encouraged to discuss their character ideas with the group. They will then be scheduled for an extensive and guided one-on-one character creation call after session 0, or before their first group session if session 0 has already occurred.

How GM Toast creates a safe table
This Blades in the Dark campaign aims for a rated R content rating. Scenes of violence will be depicted, coarse language will be used by both in game characters and players, and some mature subject matter may be broached. If you have any questions or concerns about either the content of the adventure or the safety tools in use, feel free to message or schedule a call with me as soon as possible. Your comfort is the most important thing to me as a DM! NOTE: We will be using some, but not all of the new modules presented in the Deep Cuts expansion released by John Harper. Further details to be discussed in session 0 and/or one-on-one chats with your GM!
