Forlorn Blades

Forlorn Blades is a solo journaling supplement for Band of Blades, a roleplaying game by Stras Acimovic and John LeBoeuf-Little (Evil Hat Productions 2019).  Band of Blades itself is based on the game system introduced in Blades in the Dark, a roleplaying game by John Harper (Evil Hat Productions 2017).  Inspiration was also drawn from the wide variety of Forged in the Dark games, along with solo journaling games, such as Takuma Okada’s Alone among the Stars and Michael Elliot’s solo Forged in the Dark games: A Torch in the Dark and Fire in the Spires. Forlorn Blades is designed to streamline some standard rules from Band of Blades and provide randomization tables to deepen mission design, support mission progression, and provide journal prompts for recording the outcomes of both missions and downtime.  It will be followed by a setting supplement (Forlorn in the Dark) that can be used for either solo or table play of Band of Blades.  You can listen to the actual-play audio journal at stormwrackedlibrary.net .
