You and your fledgling Crew of Scoundrels will navigate the seedy underworld of High Hill, learning how to thrive amidst the threats of rival gangs, powerful noble families, vengeful ghosts, the corrupt city watch, and the siren song of your own vices. Do you have what it takes rise to power in the criminal underworld? What are you willing to do to get to the top? Steal the bankroll of a competing crew? Blackmail a corrupt official? Assassinate a power broker? Perform a forbidden ritual to create a new vampire coven? It’s all up to you and your fellow Scoundrels
Blades in the Dark is like a cross between Peaky Blinders, Ocean’s 11, and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Everything is a heist, in a world where criminal factions fight for power, and magic is only a thin veil of the spirit field away. The game encourages creative storytelling to explore the action and cutthroat consequences of growing a criminal enterprise by giving the players control. It is a great option for players brand new to tabletop roleplaying games and for those that love the cinematic action of a heist movie.
What I Provide:
Upon sign up, please send me a message using the “Contact” button or through the RPG Club Discord so I can get you access to the Blades in the Dark resources folder (Rules, Character Sheets, Crew Sheets) and so you can ask any questions you might have. I will provide a selection of pre-generated Scoundrels to choose from, or you can create your own before the session.
What You Need:Â
A webcam, a mic, and a way to roll at least 1 six-sided die (the most common die type, found in most board games). The session will take between 2 and 3 hours depending on number of players.
Content, Behavior, and Boundaries:
This game includes a spectrum of criminal behavior, including violence, drug use, addiction, and trauma. It is assumed that all Scoundrels are morally grey and that they will commit a number of crimes in service of completing their objectives, but we will explicitly avoid anything sexual or gratuitous. Both are crass and while you are Scoundrels, you still have reputations to uphold.
Please reach out to me with the “Contact” icon above so I can answer any questions you may have.
I played a worldbuilding game with Jeremy, and it was fantastic. I was completely new to the game, and new to worldbuilding games in general. Jeremy lead the session expertly, giving enough detail and direction to get us started while allowing us players to brainstorm and be creative with our build. He was kind and patient, and he knew just when to step in if we needed help. He has a great sense of humor, there was a lot of laughter as we played. I’m looking forward to the next chance I’ll have to play one of his games again. Thanks Jeremy!
Jeremy is a great DM, and I look forward to every game with him. He engages the player and seems to be a genuine fan of the PCs, even as they smash headlong through a score like bulls in a china shop!
Jeremy knows how to build worlds, tell stories, and engage players. He is especially good at meeting players where they are at. If you want silliness, he’s your guy. If you want serious, high-stakes drama, he’s your guy. If you want long-term character growth, he’s your guy. Any type of game and any type of story, you won’t regret having Jeremy guide you through it.
Jeremy does a great job with Blades in the Dark! He has clearly planned ahead, has a brilliant mind for imagining scenarios that are appropriate to the roll of the dice, and makes each session fun for players.
I love Thursdays night Blades, and playing with Jeremy is a highlight!
It’s hard to put into words how mesmerizing and inspiring this game session was. With zero “action” built into the game rules, we had so much happen in the world of the people we channeled as we told our interwoven, collaborative story. And this was such a success because of this DM’s hard work of supporting players’ imaginations (and lending his in a pinch), record-keeping, making sure that group dynamics worked well… I could honestly appreciate how intense it must have been to run such a storytelling-heavy game, yet as a player it felt effortless for me to be creative, and just to HAVE FUN
