Let’s keep this short. I love Blades in the Dark, but I wanted to run it’s default setting Duskwall (which I love even more than the game) with an NSR system. Into the Odd is the ruleset I wanted to use, so this hack was born.
Blades into the Odd is a hack for running Duskwall with Into the Odd. It works for any grimey victorian spark punk city really. I’ve made it available for FREE. Let me repeat that. YOU CAN GET IT FOR FREE.
If you are a fan of other Odd-likes e.g. Cairn, you can easily hack this too.
So what’s inside this hack?
Revised character creation: Revised rules that give a character an equipment budget instead of preset gear and rules for a Vice your character must keep on top off.
Equipment: A list of gear based on Blades, but more ‘grounded’, and ready for Into the Odd use. Magical items are not featured, this is for a more ‘grounded’ game where PCs aren’t using magic and are often rough and ready criminals.
Lairs: A costing of home bases and various concrete upgrades that were featured in Blades in the Dark. This integrates Into the Odd's ‘enterprise’ rules as businesses.
Travel: A minimalist travel procedure designed to work with the Blades setting. It assumes you are running a city with districts and that there are landmarks within those districts.
Encounters: A procedure for making encounter tables, designed to take the trait information of districts from the Blades setting and encode them.
NPC Templates: Some generalist templates for people, ghosts and vampires that enable you to quickly produce stats for people in the Blades setting or a similar one. You can also use these for Detachments (see Into the Odd rules).
Factions: Factions are a big part of the Blades setting, but featured here is a more Odd-like faction system.
That’s it. Get Blades into the Odd (for free) right here. I’m going to go through how I hacked this in a bit more of a breakdown over the next few weeks so stay tuned!
