I figured that I'd throw up a comment and say that this probably my favorite game to GM of all time. The book is written expertly, and gives the GM tons of mechanics to sink into that make GMing super easy and low prep compared to a lot of games (Looking at you, DnD). It's powered by the apocalypse, and as such, it runs well via online play.
Even if you don't think you can sell your players on the theme, check the game out anyway, there's tons of awesome stuff to crib for your other games (the concept of clocks, downtime action suggestions, steal a whole faction if you wanna)
I just wanted to say thank you for contributing to the bundle, John! I've wanted to check out Blades for a long time, and this gave me the perfect excuse to dive in. All the best!
Hi! Just picked this up in the bundle, and I'm excited to check it out. Would you say it works with online play? And if so do you think it would require roll20/FG or just work over discord?
I've run it over Zoom and I think it generally works well. It's not reliant on specific positioning or maps as some other games, so it works well online with minimal tooling.
Thanks, John. For this awesome game, and for contributing to the bundle. My friends and I just started playing a crew last weekend. There's no doubt we'll all donate to this great cause.

Yep! It works well online, and the Roll20 character sheets are very good.
