In the dark, dancers abolish distances, control time and show the public how to escape from our reality.

This perennial favourite, usually played during daytime hours, is even more fun at night. Pick up a roll of red cellophane from your local dollar or craft store and make an actual red light by taping a circle of the wrap around a flashlight.
How low can you go? Get your (not too loud) music playing, light up the area with some flashlights, and use a rope for kids to move under. Players must walk bent over backwards, feet first, without falling, while the others cheer them on. After each player makes it under the rope, the rope holders lower it closer to the ground and players try again and again until they can no longer make it under the rope. Warning, this game comes with a lot of laughter.
How about fireflies? One person is the Seeker, (there can also be more seekers depending on haow many players you have) and the other Persons hide (they are the fireflies and all need flashlights, no flashlight for the seeker(s) though) the fireflies flash their lights about once every 30 seconds and thee seeker has to try and find all of them. The last one to be found will be the seeker for the next round.
Required: Flashlights for everyone but the Seeker.

Blades in the Dark is my favourite tabletop roleplaying game (RPG). Released in 2017, the game impressed me with how tightly focused it was, how well the book described play, and its breadth and boldness of advice for both players and GMs. It effortlessly gives you moments of high drama as you take on the role of criminals in the vast city of Doskvol, scratching and snarling your way to the top of the underworld food chain through daring heists, political manoeuvrings, and bold action.
This guide assumes that you are coming from a more traditional RPG background. What do I mean by that? Dungeons and Dragons, Call of Cthulhu, Runequest, Traveller all these games and more from the history of RPGs have the same structure: one person, usually referred to as the Games Master (GM) or similar, facilitates all the play. That person designs and reads adventures, then presents them to the players who react to the situations while not really being encouraged to contribute to the story beyond the portrayal of their characters.
First thing I want you to realise about Blades in the Dark, but frankly you should keep this in mind whenever you play a RPG, is that the GM is a player as well. They want to have fun and enjoy the game as much as you do. I will still use GM, the person who is running the game, and player, the person who is playing a character, to differentiate between the two roles.
Everyone is around the table to have fun together. You all have equal responsibility for that. Blades does not want you to sit back as a player and just absorb what is going on and occasionally say something witty. It wants you to push your own agenda, bash up against the world, and the other characters, while giving you the tools to make all that happen. Participation from everyone around the table is required to make this game really sing.
Blades is very specifically split up into different types of play. You go on a job, the job completes and then you have some Downtime to pursue your own agendas, help the crew get rid of some heat etc.
Blades in the Dark fits into a mould of game where you start out with very broad strokes and fill in the details during play. This starts at character and crew creation. It starts with you as a player. Blades is not a game where you should come with a massive character background worked out, or the perfect idea of how your crew came together. Those details will emerge in play, and during the all important session zero which the game encourages and we will dive into in more detail later.
If we are painting in broad strokes and filling in the details during play, it follows that we have to hold onto any of the ideas we have lightly. Like other RPGs, moreso in fact, Blades relies on the players and GM collaborating on the fiction they are creating.
If you refuse to let go of an idea you had, no matter how cool it may have been, this can lead to that concept either dominating or being discarded. No one will feel good about that either way. Character concepts, plot ideas, themes, and motifs should be woven together as smoothly as possible by the players whilst still allowing for friction between the characters.
During character creation in Blades you will also create a Crew. The Crew has a separate sheet and is for all intents and purposes another character that all the players create together and have equal control of.
You should always make clear why you are rolling, considering you do it so infrequently. Without reason behind the roll it will not matter to the players. Everytime you pick up the dice it should carry weight for the narrative, and the players.
This seems to be a part that a lot of new Blades GMs find hard to do. Trust that the system lets you do this and wants you to do this. Flashbacks, p.132, exist as the primary way you can skip the planning stage. Each time a player reaches for that mechanism, it is shortcutting a good amount of time spent planning in a more traditionally setup game.
The GM does not call for rolls in Blades in the Dark. They create threats and then ask the players how their characters are going to handle it. That may result in a roll, or starting a clock. It could equally be that you just say yes and move on.
Blades is going to throw a lot of opportunities at your players and they are going to get excited about taking advantage of those. This is great! They will be engaged! Let them pursue those opportunities, just throw problems in their way. You want them to work for the rewards after all.
With a lot of roleplaying games it can be hard as a GM to figure out the level of challenge to throw at your players. You want them to feel like they have come to the edge of defeat before triumphing and striking that balance can be really difficult.
Think of Session Zero as the prequel to your TV series. The teaser trailer put out before the film that introduces the world, its ideas, and most importantly our protagonists. It is an opportunity to tell each other about the sort of game that you want to play, and come to an agreement on what the game will look like. Blades in the Dark has a focus on heists for sure, but that can take many forms from Smuggling goods through the canals of the city, to assassinating politicians who are getting too big for their boots.
This is the core ebb and flow of Blades. The GM presents a threat, the player(s) decide how to tackle it, you roll, the plot moves forward, the GM presents a threat etc. That sounds very pedestrian, but it is the core of the procedure in Blades. If you avoid rolls, if you try to weasel out of dangerous situations, Blades will not reward you for it. The whole experience will end up feeling very unsatisfying.
The other core mechanism that we have at our disposal are Clocks. Clocks can be a tricky thing to use when you first start playing Blades in the Dark, as they have numerous uses. I think most uses of clocks come under one of the following:
There are loads of ways to use clocks in the book, starting on page 15. Some experimentation is required to find the way you will best use them. I only really want to talk about them in terms of making multiple rolls for a given situation. Remember the GM does not call for rolls, they present threats and ask the players what they want to do. Players initiate rolls and the consequences inform the fiction.
In actual play, it is rare that we want to make an extended test but they can be used for moments of great drama. For instance if we are breaking into a vault we might want to start a clock for how long it takes our safecrackers to get in there. Alongside that we could start another clock for how long the guards will take to get here on their patrol. This way we have two clocks. One the GM can tick to build the tension and the other a timer on when the group will achieve their goal.
