Blades in the Dark [Become a villain and rule the ghost city] The world-renowned innovative TRPG English version

Become a legendary villain in a city of ghosts and steam. This innovative tabletop RPG with no planning required has captivated the world.

"The session ended with just a strategy meeting..."
Have you ever had an experience like that?

Even if you make a meticulous plan, one roll of the dice can ruin it all.
It will free you from the stress of traditional TRPGs.

With Blades in the Dark, you can start right from the climax.

The story is set in the ghost-infested, smoke-shrouded industrial fantasy city of Doskvor.
You become part of a fearless "villain crew" on a quest for fame and fortune.

A fast-paced and thrilling story experience, just like an action scene from a movie, can now be enjoyed at your table.

Why are gamers all over the world so obsessed with this system?

The biggest reason is the innovative "Flashback System."

When you find yourself in a pinch and the door is locked, there's no need for lengthy strategy meetings.
Simply declare, "I bribed the guard last night," and pay Stress (resources) to instantly resolve past actions retroactively.

This allows you to experience an unprecedented level of immersion, focusing on the action itself rather than the planning .

The glory and experience you can gain as a "bad guy"

• Build your own criminal organization :
  Assassination, smuggling, cult... Choose from six different crew types, set up a hideout, and enjoy a success story of rising up in the city's underworld.
• Unique characters :
  Create your avatar with seven different archetypes, such as the battle-crazy "Cutter" or the occult-wielding "Whisper." It's a tense judgment system where your "position" determines the outcome, not just the numbers.

  Not only will your personal growth influence your team's reputation and relationships with other factions, but your team's reputation will also influence your story. Working together with your teammates will create an unprecedented sense of accomplishment.

  It's a heavy 328-page hardcover, and its beautiful binding will evoke the world of dark fantasy just by placing it on your bookshelf.
