Blades in the Dark is a tabletop role-playing game about a crew of daring scoundrels seeking their fortunes on the haunted streets of an industrial-fantasy city. There are heists, chases, occult mysteries, dangerous bargains, bloody skirmishes, and, above all, riches to be had - if you're bold enough to seize them. Inside you'll find: rules to create your scoundrel; rules to create your crew; a core mechanic which puts the fiction first - the strength of a character's position matters just as much as the character's ability scores; a lightning-fast mechanic for planning criminal operations; rules for alchemical experiments, gadget tinkering, and weird occult powers - including rules for playing Ghosts and other strange beings; a setting guide to the haunted city of Doskvol.
