Sneaky Thieves it is! The Dramatic Teens option is out.. All According to the Plan.... <Blades in the Dark>
In the city of perpetual shadow called
Doskvol, lowlifes and criminals outweigh the so-called decent folk.
You take exception to being called 'criminal'; criminals are the
suckers who get caught and you ain't gonna be one of them saps,
whatever the cost. You and your crew have a score lined up, just
enough to get you out from under Bazso's thumb, but it's risky. But
debts need to be paid or else prison will be the least of your
problems...
Inspirations:
Ocean's 11+ (movie)
Dishonored (video game)
The Gentlemen Bastards (book) 21+. Voice over discord. 8-11pm-ish CST. One-shot.
Who Is This For?
New-ish players preferred
New systems can be intimidating and
nobody likes being the one at the table who doesn't the rules. Well,
if everyone is a beginner, everyone is equal and hopefully more
comfortable.
You feel like something is missing
Are you having fun in your games, but
there's more rules, fighting, and waiting for your turn than you'd
like? Maybe there isn't enough time and room to show off your
character's personality?
Creative people
To play this game, you need to be able
to describe your intent in the fiction (as
opposed to speaking in terms of rules).
Examples:
I use my pickpocket skill to
try to get the key from him.
As he walks through the door, I'm going
to pretend that I'm going in as he's coming out to bump in to him
'accidentally' and try to lift the key from his inner pocket. “Oh,
sorry, I'm so clumsy. Teehee.”
I'd like to move here (points
on map) and backstab the guard.
I wait until the guard walks past me,
then I want to try to bash him over the head with my blackjack, catch
his (hopefully) unconscious body as it collapses, and drag him back
into the shadows before anyone notices.
To play, you don't need to know rules,
you just need to try to do that (and enjoy doing it!).
This Isn't For You If:
You find stat bonuses, level, and
gear more interesting than personality, background, voices, and
vices. You'd never have your character
gratuitously swing on a chandelier and when you can just walk the
same distance. You want to fight stuff, first and
foremost. If you're interested, either PM me or
apply below. Include a bit about yourself, which you prefer, and why
it appeals to you. Thanks.
