In the last Candela Obscura session, the party fought cursed dolls who stabbed them with letter-openers, choked them with sewing threads, and shot them with toy guns.

This system proves to be frightening, comical, and beautiful at the same time.
I love it.

“A cornered rat with a bandaged leg, they thought.
What can he possibly do?
In a fourth-wall-breaking moment, Gunner looks at
the panning camera, winks, and wedges a cigar between
his teeth.

The second chapter of the epic Blades in the Dark solo play is up.

My darling humans, if there is one thing I wish I could communicate it’s that when an artist talks about influences, it’s not usually/necessarily about replicating plot structures or story beats, it’s about grappling with ideas & ways of seeing the world.

Join us as we start the emotional story of a veteran headhunter, Mardian "Gunner" Booth—a tale filled with tough decisions, sacrifice, rooftop showdowns, and magnificent explosions.

@solsroles.bsky.social Agency of Death brings narrative power back to the players.

It is one of the best rule additions to my games because:
• It elevates character arcs
• It gives you control of story beats
• It allows players to tell their stories better
