@IcarusGames We've got our #Genesys Alpha Centauri game starting in just a couple hours. If all goes well we'll be recovering some rocket stabilizers out from under the noses of a violent gang hopped up on combat stims, preferably without getting shot.
Then on Tuesday I GM the explosive conclusion of our mashup of Genesys and #BitD!
« « Notre #BITD était la deuxième exportatrice au monde l'an dernier, mais elle exporte paradoxalement plus facilement dans le reste du monde qu'en Europe. Pourquoi ? Parce que nous n'écoutons pas suffisamment nos partenaires européens, leurs préoccupations, l'urgence dans laquelle ils se trouvent. »

Of all the #ttrpg books I have, Blades in the Dark is the one that keeps me coming back.
I read it between sessions for fun and trying to learn what dark wisdom it contains.
My silly fan shirt designs. A lil #CriticalRole, a little #NationalParks, a lil #BitD. I've printed up Mad Goofin' (there are bees on the back), Zadash, & Team Bear.
Today's #ttrpg is my #Genesys #BladesInTheDark mashup. In a bid to complete an enemies-to-lovers arc, the crew will be trying to stop a ritual that has been antagonizing the demon Saatara. Somehow this will also set them up for the campaign closing sabotage of Lord Dalmore's coalworks. How is up to the players' creativity; I'm just the GM.
"Les actions [contre la #BITD] que nous avons pu attribuer sont plutôt le fait de groupuscules antimilitaristes ou anti-guerre, liés à l'ultra-gauche. Car elles ont été revendiquées sur des sites internet." @La_DRSD https://www.usinenouvelle.com:443/article/il-y-a-une-hausse-des-actions-de-malveillance-contre-les-industriels-de-la-defense-indique-le-general-philippe-susnjara-directeur-de-la-drsd.N2230489

Tonight's game of Blades in the Dark will see The Ferrymen head out into the Void Sea.
They are smuggling Milos "The Hammer Miller - leader of the Rail Jacks - from Duskvol to Whitehollow as there are threats on his life
The Ferrymen as a group don't got much experience on the Void Sea so we'll see how they manage.
This newsletter article got plugged in @mtblack's ttrpg newsletter and I found it a very interesting read! I must confess I've been guilty too of using clocks-as-HP instead of countdowns (or ups) that drive the narrative forward. If you use clocks a lot, i.e. #bladesinthedark #bitd and have a itching feeling you could get more mileage out of them, this article might be for you.

April is shaping up to be a good #ttrpg month. Last week I played in our #Genesys Alpha Centauri game. This week I get to playtest a #Foretold game. Then the week after that, I'll GM our Genesys #BitD mash-up. And by the end of the month, it will be time to play Alpha Centauri again. Haven't had this full a month in a long time. 
When your Blades crew goes into the Void Sea you have to go outside the book for inspiration!

"Notre #BITD manque de grosses structures.
Elle est composée de 4500 PME et ETI, qui certes, sont performantes technologiquement, mais sont petites, endettées et moins rentables que dans les autres secteurs industriels." @EDENcluster https://www.lesechos.fr/pme-regions/actualite-pme/defense-il-faut-pousser-au-regroupement-de-pme-encore-trop-petites-2156756
