Blades in the Dark - Dark deeds in a dirty city.

Hello! I'm Spork, fairly experienced role player however I've not done Play by Post for several years. As stated in the description, I'm hoping to do maybe a season of Blades and then see how I/We feel going forward. This should be at least a few scores and downtime between them, leading up to a season finale with a big bang!

I'm doing this partially to limit burnout by allowing there to be a marked end point, both for myself and any potential players rather than planning for it to go on indefinitely.

Resources:
Very good Primer on the lore and the mechanics of Blades.

Player's kit.

Expectations:

• Site rules. Follow them. Fairly self explanatory.

• Post frequency. I'm pretty free and should be able to post once a day or more. I'm not expecting that from everyone else but hoping for at least 3-4 times a week or once every 48 hours. That seems like a happy medium. If you're unable to post for a period of time due to travel/holiday/work/life stuff please let me know and we'll work around it!

• Lines and Veils and Safety tools. I'm not expecting this to be super grimdark but Blades is a grounded (despite it's fantastical elements) setting with several of its touchstones including ethic prejudice, class struggle, police brutality and other forms of bigotry. Please post your lines (Elements and Themes you do not want to occur or even be implied) and Veils (Elements and Themes that you would like "faded to black" if they were to occur.)

• I'm planning on using some rules from the Deep Cuts expansion that look neat. It's okay if you don't have it or the base rulebook as you don't need it as a player. There are a bunch of plots and hooks and other cool stuff in Deep Cuts that although I would like to use, they're more of a second season thing I think so it'll be mechanics only I'm porting over for now. We can discuss whether we want to use base or Deep Cuts playbooks.

• I'm hoping for at least a paragraph or two in response. It doesn't have to be that all the time of course and if you want to write more feel free but I'd like to see some meat in people's responses!

• There is probably more stuff, including things we'll discuss during "Session Zero" and Crew Gen.

Application:

Still working on getting Blades playbooks and crew sheets in! I'm not sure on the time frame of that so for now for your application, please state the following:

Experience with RPG's and Play by Post:

Experience with Blades and familiarity with the world:

Any Lines or Veils you wish to mention:

Normal post frequency and length:

Preferred playbook/s you're interested in:

Preferred Crew type: (Very much up in the air is it's a matter for group discussion, this is just a gauge.)

Loose character concept: (Feel free to roll up and have all of your stuff planned out but it's not required for now. It's something we can do in game once applicants have been selected.)

Have you read Deep Cuts: As stated, not planning on using m/any of the hooks from Deep Cuts in our first go round, however many of them are cool but a bit spoliery. If I want to include any cool secret stuff, will be useful to know who knows and who does not know.
