It's finally time for a HEIST! Join me as we dive into the dark, action packed TTRPG that is Blades in the Dark (and to a lesser extent, Forged in the Dark)!
NOTE: First, I am sure I got something wrong here, so please don't hesitate to comment to clarify any mistakes I might have made! This was not an easy video to put together, went through some wild edits, and also was just done during a time that I was, frankly, not in the best headspace.
Second, I am very much aware that a major supplement to the book was released recently. I was already about halfway through this when it came out, and the idea of looking at that and updating this video with it almost made me cry. I haven't even read it yet, so if things have changed...well, eff me I guess lol
