Oh shoot I think I just hacked out an ideal Coriolis game that’s actually playable:
Johnstone Metzger ‘s Iruvian alt playbooks for Blades in the Dark
And
Stras Acimovic ‘s ship/crew sheets from Scum and Villainy
And probably some equivalent to the Factions stuff in straight Blades for the Coriolis Factions and competitive gangs.
Use the crew patron and rival rules from Coriolis like normal.
And Devil’s Bargains become your relationship with the Darkness Between the Stars.
It probably shifts the game hard toward gig work, which isn’t terrible. That’s kind of baseline Blades on any case.
Mostly I had two thoughts: that crew rules and playbooks seem pretty disconnected, mechanically, at this stage in BitD hacking, and that I can’t believe more folks aren’t talking about Johnstone’s Iruvian playbooks.
I think I must not have seen Johnstone’s Iruvian playbooks. Because his setting was fuck slick.
Brand Robins see them.
Actually I never saw the setting! Hilarious. I’m just extrapolating from the playbooks.
AH, I found them. The setting was in the deluxe rulebook, and is nice.
Oh then I have seen it.
I am a fan of this ^_^
Those playbooks are fantastic.
I feel like you could use Scum and Villainy straight up, even. It’s pretty much the same kind of space fiction.
Johnstone Metzger yabbut your playbooks are making my head spin.
I like them too, but you probably might still need to swap out some stuff for more spaceship-oriented abilities, so you don’t miss them? Then again, I guess you have to adapt them to any setting because they don’t have one their tied to (maybe at some point I’ll write a proper city for them).
