We'll be playing this game on our 🌟closed beta One More Multiverse platform🌟. Expect bugs and new features still in testing. We're early and still building!
Our game is going to be a West Marches style campaign. That means every session is designed to be more self-contained and episodic than in a typical campaign, which might feature an elaborate, ongoing arc centered on a few recurring PC's. That means you shouldn't feel shy to jump in at any time! It also means your PC's have to get their scores done with a bit of time pressure ;)
<aside> ✨ You don't need to attend every week and you can jump in any time!

The system we're going to use is Blades in the Dark.
The setting is Port Gamello (an original world we're using, also featured on our Twitch streams!). There are a few differences between Gamello and the original Blades setting of Doskvol. One of them is that the OMM character generator right now is fitted with typical D&D race options, so all those are available to you, but with no mechanical differences.
Sessions will be every 2 weeks, open to everyone on our Discord to sign up, but some slots will be reserved for closed beta testers. That means we may be playing with a different group every week! On weeks without a game, we'll host a chill-and-plan-together session where we can build levels for the game together and talk about what's coming up next.
During sessions where your PC isn't involved and you aren't playing, we'll still post downtime prompts and activities on a special Discord channel so your character can stay part of the action and we can continue their story until they jump back in!
Blades in the Dark is a tabletop role-playing game about a crew of daring scoundrels seeking their fortunes ...in an industrial-fantasy city. Expect "heists, chases, escapes, dangerous bargains, bloody skirmishes, deceptions, betrayals, victories and deaths, and above all riches if you have the guts to grab them."
You can learn more at bladesinthedark.com and we highly suggest you pick up a copy in general, I'm a big fan of this system! It features a lot of innovative and compelling mechanics design, like clocks, flashbacks, and downtime activity.
We'll be using all of Blades' rule set, but not the original setting it comes with— Doskvol. We'll be substituting in our own setting!

You'll receive a link to the game for character creation Wednesday, ahead of the game. We may also DM you a few questions! If you're a returning player of course you won't need to do this.
