About the adventure
Take on the role of a group of daring chancers building a criminal enterprise on the streets of a retro-futuristic dystopia. There’s espionage, heists, chases, escapes, dangerous bargains, shoot-outs, deceptions, betrayals, victories, and deaths. Blades '68 uses a straightforward dice pool system that can be picked up in a short time. It also features a 'flashback' mechanic, which allows for jumping straight into the action and makes each score feel like you're in a heist movie.

About me
Hey Adventurers! I am a nerdy dad who discovered TTRPGs in 2017. I had always been a fan of fantasy and sci-fi and devoured epic fantasy novels such as the Wheel of Time and Stormlight Archives series. I convinced some friends to try the Pathfinder 1st edition beginner box and we have been hooked ever since! I have been our group's GM through multiple settings and systems. Some favourites are: Pathfinder (1/2e), Warhammer 40K Wrath and Glory, Call of Cthulhu, and The One Ring 2e. Open and accepting of all. I will not tolerate intolerant people.

Creating your character
Pre-made characters will be available. If you prefer to create your own, please make a character using the playbooks in the Blades '68 supplement. Your character will need to mesh with a Militant crew with a labour movement Cause.

How Josh S. creates a safe table
We will use a modified version of Lines and Veils. Prior to beginning, you will have a chance to place themes and content in one of four quadrants, depending on your comfort and interest. I also encourage players to ask for a break at any time if they feel uncomfortable or overwhelmed.
