The TTRPG Blades ’68 Playtest is a free preview from Evil Hat Productions.
You’ll need Blades in the Dark, and the freebie is only 15 pages long. However, we’re told that’s enough to get a taste of the world of Doskvol a century after the setting in Blades in the Dark.
This is an official supplement, and it moves the timeline to the swinging 60s.
Progress is here, but only for some. War may be over, but the shadowy game of espionage has never been more heated. Discontent bubbles under the surface and threatens to erupt at any time in any place. They’ve tried to tell you that the future has arrived and everything is fine now, that it’s not the time to make a fuss. But you know better. You’re a scoundrel, a chancer, a troublemaker. You know the streets and you’re not afraid of danger.
Tim Denee is writing the book and introduces some changes to the original rules. Blades ’68 modifies the Gameplay Cycle, splitting the crew action into business, the trouble engine and personal. There are extra character options for keys and dreadlocks and adds procedures for Time Skips, claims to pursue and backing factions who can help out.
