THE GAME
Blades in the Dark is a game about a group of daring scoundrels building a
criminal enterprise on the haunted streets of an industrial-fantasy city. There
are heists, chases, escapes, dangerous bargains, bloody skirmishes, deceptions,
betrayals, victories, and deaths.
We play to find out if the fledgling crew can thrive amidst the teeming threats of
rival gangs, powerful noble families, vengeful ghosts, the Bluecoats of the City
Watch, and the siren song of the scoundrels’ own vices.

THE SETTING
The game takes place in the cold, foggy city of Doskvol (aka Duskwall or “the
Dusk”). It’s industrial in its development. Imagine a world like ours during the
second industrial revolution of the 1870s—there are trains, steam-boats, printing
presses, simple electrical technology, carriages, and the black smog of chimney
smoke everywhere. Doskvol is something like a mashup of Venice, London, and
Prague. It’s crowded with row-houses, twisting streets, and criss-crossed with
hundreds of little waterways and bridges.
The city is also a fantasy. The world is in perpetual darkness and haunted by
ghosts—a result of the cataclysm that shattered the sun and broke the Gates
of Death a thousand years ago. The cities of the empire are each encircled by
crackling lightning towers to keep out the vengeful spirits and twisted horrors
of the deathlands. To power these massive barriers, the titanic metal ships of
the leviathan hunters are sent out from Doskvol to extract electroplasmic blood
from massive demonic terrors upon the ink-dark Void Sea.
You’re in a haunted Victorian-era city trapped inside a wall of lightning powered
by demon blood.
