Blades Under Tyr

A hack of Blades in the Dark for use with the Dark Sun world setting.

139 pages, with all the rules needed to play a crew of rogues and scoundrels trying to survive and prosper in a post-apocalyptic fantasy city ruled by a tyrannical sorcerer-god on a weird, dying desert world. Contains playbooks for scoundrels and crews, 40+ factions, rules for defiling and the psychic powers of the Way, descriptions of the 9 districts of, around, and under the city, various persons of interest, and rules for exploring the wastelands. Updates to this project will in general be announced via my Patreon.

Tyr, a wretched hive of scum and villainy. The safest oasis for hundreds of miles. Surrounded by the monster-haunted desert wastelands that make up the rest of the world, the only thing that keeps the city safe are the god-king warded city walls. Within: the noble houses vie for power, merchant caravans hold goods hostage for water chits, and thieving elves fight to sell the scraps that are left. Worst of all are the Templars, the de-facto rulers of the city, enforcing the will of the King from his Golden Palace.

And then there’s you. You just want a piece of it all before you die. Water. Food. Safety. A fist full of ceramic. A little opulence. All before the sands claim your bones.

A dark sun rises over the city every morning. Two strange moons hang in a foul-colored sky.

Welcome to Tyr, scoundrel.
