Pre-orders are open for the hardcover versions Blades In the Dark: Deep Cuts – expand your games in Doskvol with some exciting rules!
Blades in the Dark: Deep Cuts began as a community update for the titular gaslamp game of wraiths and wrongdoers, published by John Harper, and it has since expanded with a big BackerKit campaign for both hard/softcover versions of the book. But if you missed the initial rush, pre-orders are up now as the expansion book for Blades in the Dark is set to hit a wider release. Here’s what we know!
Blades in the Dark: Deep Cuts
Blades in the Dark: Deep Cuts is a 128-page book packed with new rules and new lore that really deepens the BitD experience. It’s a suite of modular rules tweaks for BitD that let you change the game to your preference. You can use the ones you want, ignore the ones you don’t, and get your crew back in action fast. With updates to everything from Harm and Healing to Actions and Teamwork, there’s plenty to love. And Deep Cuts makes that so much clearer.
Deep Cuts provides some explicit clarity around certain rules. In particular, if you’ve been using the Threat Rolls and Teamwork rules, the expansion gives some clear-cut use cases, as well as additional flexibility. GMs and Players will find a lot to tinker with. If you love getting in under the hood of a game or just having new options, this book has you covered.
Deep Cuts is more than just rules, though. It’s a substantive expansion for Blades in the Dark. It updates the setting and the rules all in one 128-page book. Personally, I’m a fan of the new Advancement system, as well as the better gear system. I can’t imagine going back to the way vanilla BitD handles those.
You can find what you’ll fall in love with in the new expansion. And this is your chance to grab a hardcover version of the rules and take them for a spin. It’ll look great on your shelf.
And if you don’t want to pre-order, don’t worry. Deep Cuts will find you. Look for Blades in the Dark: Deep Cuts on a shelf near you soon!
See you in Doskvol!
