About the adventure
Welcome to the Robin Hood: Blades in the Dark game, you didn't know you needed. This is the story of your crew as they rail against the injustices of the land and do their best to do good in a world that wants them at each others throats. This game is beginner friendly, and spans 6 fortnights. Everything you need to learn about the game, will be in session 0. However throughout the game I will prompt you and aid you in the rules of the game. What to expect: Gritty, fast pace heists where you have to think on your feet. Things are grim, but you are bringing hope back to these streets. In session 0 we will be discussing the setting, the specialty of the game, making characters, including playing the formation of this crew. No equipment is needed as everything will be provided for you. However if you would like to bring your own dice, you will want D6's. This won't be set in Doskvol, but the Victorian-punk will remain the same, the supernatural element as well. We will discuss this in the session 0. A summary of the game: Crime has gone up as good people can no longer afford to eat. It is no longer safe. You are sent home from the war and your house has been "requisitioned", you no longer have a place in polite society. But you find a few who are like you. Dislocated, bitter at those who do nothing but enjoy the protections of the current steward and his sheriffs. You gather and through hoods and shadows, you take from the rich and give to the poor.

About me
I am a tough but fair GM. When you are victorious you know you have earned it. A fantasy & horror fanatic with a flair for rolling with the shenanigans! I GM/Keep at Elder Gods and Dragons, a TTRPG bar in Melbourne. I am also history nerd which helps me round out the world's of DnD's Curse of Strahd and my own DnD take of Greece Mythology with "Tales of the Windrose" (a sky pirates campaign). It also helps my 1920's based Call of Cthulhu games as well!

Creating your character
We will go through it step by step in a session 0 together. These will be the character's first time acting as a crew. You can look at the source book, Blades in the Dark, if you are keen to get a feel for what class you are learning towards.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need discord and a roll20 account.
What Sasa brings to the table
I will provide everyone with character sheets and the group sheet. have the different voices for characters ready and there will be atmospheric music if the group would like to play with it on. Rule of cool is allowed but not to be abused. Blades is not a kind system, but we find laughter and fun in amongst the serious.

How Sasa creates a safe table
In session 0 we will go over what I as a GM won't be describing, and I will ask you to either say or privately message me any themes you don't want me to go over. We will make an X card and I will check in each session if you have your x cards. I am always open to feedback and if you need to personally message me after the game about topics, I am happy to take those into consideration and act upon it.
