“Blades in the Neon Shadows” a Standard One Shot in the Blades in the Dark system, led by Ansel Burch
In the Metrogloom there is only one rule anyone respects, their own. Some residents claim never to have seen the blotted face of the sun in the course of their lifetimes and you're inclined to believe them. Luckily for you, the life of a blade calls for you to visit every level of the densely packed block from the lowest levels of the Salt Block to the very roof in full view of the angry Gods of the Sky.
This game will be great if you like Blade Runner, Alita, and The Matrix.
We will build characters in session.
New Players are welcome.
Tha game runner is very familiar with this system.
