I really love the new rules... but I think there are enough changes to justify a BitD 2.0 full fledged edition. Navigating both the main manual and the supplement in game will be challenging, to say the least.
Thank you, Mr. Harper. This is the expansion I didn’t know I wanted, but now that they are here, they are exciting as hell. The rules changes are all great and the new sheets look excellent.
I’m currently involved in three Blades campaigns, one as a GM, one as a player, and one is a two-player GM-less game. I can’t wait to start implementing the new stuff.
This is an unexpected, but deeply appreciated refresh (even for other FitD games, with some of those rules modules); Excited to try this out next time I get to run or play Blades again!
Two issues with the PDF though:
- The entries in the table of contents have no page numbers, so they don't actually work
- The link to updated playbooks on page 108 is a blank placeholder
So exciting to see this! Love all the lore/setting expansions. I've been in love with Blades since the playtest days. PS. I'm the weirdo who sent you an irl copy of the dagger from the cover art years ago. Hope you liked it!
Yes please yes please. Instabuy. I've always adored the setting, how all the packed little details and intentionally abstracted world fused together. So so curious to see novel official content. :o
I ran a two season game of Blades for my game crew - it was my first big foray into GMing after a very long time of not doing so. We had an amazing time. Thanks so much for making this game.
Blades brought me full force into TTRPGs and I'll always be thankful for your work and ability to draw out the creative relationship among players and storyteller/GM. I've met amazing people through it, so thank you John. I cannot wait to dive back into this really special setting.
Understood. If there ever is a physical copy available I'll buy that too. Blades has been my favorite game since its release and I'm excited to see it growing and evolving. Thanks for making such rad stuff!

Sorry if I missed this but where/when can I get a physical copy??
In another comment he noted that there are currently no plans for a physical book.
Oh thanks! Hopefully that changes soon
Instabuy 👍 congratulations on releasing such a major expansion.
I'll have no problems buying this again in some Blades in the Dark 2nd Edition.
As someone who’s been running Blades for nearly 10 years, I gotta say, John.
You nailed it. Beautifully done.
Thank you!

Yeah, second that...

Hey John, just wanted to check something. If a player is rolling against multiple threats with a 0d action, how does that resolve?
My thought would be that you'd get +1d from the extra threat and assign it as normal and then you'd automatically fail against the other threat?
You get the +1d, sitting next to "roll 2d, keep the best" then you assign a result to each threat.
Any chance this will go on DTRPG? I own all the other BitD/FitD stuff there so would like to have it all in one place.
I believe he did simultaneously publish to both sites: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/500978/blades-in-the-dark-deep-cuts
Oh, thanks. I couldn't find it with a search.
Genuinely reignited this game for me in such an immediate way. And I am excited to see how everything will look in play

Thanks! I'll fix those.
Bravo, John! Insta buy

Hot damn! *throws money at you*

My pleasure. Glad you like it.

I'm STOKED for more Blades content. Are you planning to release a physical book for this?
No plans for that at the moment.

Thanks!
Sold!
I would totally go for even a POD from DriveThruRPG.
But I realize it's extra work to prep for publishing.
An expansion for my favorite game ever? Istant buy.
