Blades in the Darkest Dungeon
A downloadable game
BLADES IN THE DARKEST DUNGEON
~
If you have ever played Red Hook Studio's Darkest Dungeon video game and thought "I wish this were a tabletop RPG"...and then thought "Stress and trauma in a gothic shell? That sounds like Blades in the Dark!" you've come to the right spot. This is an early attempt to put together a tabletop version of DD using the BitD rule set.
Right now, the game needs further fleshing out, but it should be playable and feature-complete. It's here if you want to put some eyes-on, or even playtest if you're up for it. If you catch any little horrors certain to be hiding in the shadows and under the dressers, let me know. Looking forward to your feedback!
Note: this is a fan-creation and is not sanctioned or approved by Red Hook.
Also, if you haven't played Darkest Dungeon, you should. It's awesome.

Going to give this a go. Looks very promising. I know you are busy with University and research but will you continue adding more to this project
Don't worry, I haven't abandoned this project. I should have some time over winter break to work on this a little!
(If you get a chance to play what's here, I'd love to hear how it went!)
I have play tested a lot of games for various authours. I will submit a report for you once I give it a go.
Awesome. Look forward to it!
Do you have a place where I can send my observations?
Yes! Please use my itch.io username at yahoo. It's the email I check more often than not. You can also tag me here to let me know if you're worried I didn't receive your message and I'll check my spam folder.
Hello ! Could we have a blank character sheet for the classes that are not already done ? Would be great !
Done! I've also added the Leper and Grave Robber playbooks.
Thx !
Hello! Very cool modified mechanics and design, It would be great if you could post the rest of the materials!
I'm sure many would be happy to see the new update :)
Thanks! I'm currently in uni and doing research, so I'm afraid I haven't made much progress on this due to lack of time. Seeing as there is interest, I'll look into making another update soon!
Have had a bit of time here and there to get a couple others worked on: Grave Robber and Leper have been added, plus a blank playbook by request.
Hello! Is there any progress on this game?
Text-wise, I haven't had a chance to play test it significantly since last year. I do have a few more playbooks finished, however. I'll try to get those up while I have time this summer!
Niiiice! :-)
