  • A Desperate Attune Christmas: Two Out of Three Ain't Bad (Blades '68)

    Officially, the Imperial Intelligence Agency's Headquarters are in Cairn House, Charterhall. Unofficially, the Palace works mostly in the field. An operation targeting Blackthorne Park's own agents in the Dagger Isles has gone sour, leaving both parties in the dark and out some very valuable assets. There's a mole, and the Palace needs them found. Victor Shaw - called Crown by his peers - has set you a task. He can trust no one else. He knows it must be one of three people involved in the operation:

    • Hester Prichard, the cynical handler whose judgment has never been in question even if now her loyalties are,
    • Luca Baine, the spy whose intelligence has ensured the Palace's supremacy despite the best efforts of our rivals, and
    • the assassin codenamed Thistle, whose protege Hyacinth died on the operation under mysterious circumstances.
    • No player of the Game can be unaware that they are under suspicion, and the leak might be sprung from Duskwall at any moment. In seventy-two hours, Crown will have to make a decision. The wrong one could be disastrous. The right one could be disastrous. And if Blackthorn Park gets a hold of the mole before us, it will be very embarrassing indeed...

      A mortally injured Tar-Minotaur and a more-or-less perfectly fine Perfidelity make for the Tower, which Lady Iskandaric has now claimed. One conflict seems to follow another. Ahiri is just trying to live life, if only these people would stop doing things that make life untenable.

    • No Anthem 01: Convergence Valley

      We're back with our experimental 3rd season. We've had a rough year, and this season almost didn't exist. We bring it to you, warts and weird fuckery and all. It's fitting -- after all, this is Apocalypse World: Burned Over.

      We enter Convergence Valley by finishing and introducing our characters, going through our safety tools, and then immediately plotting raids and losing homes.

      It's a sign of things to come.

    • Blades '68: Queen of Harts

      "The Blueraker Project promises to unveil the secrets of the wild Blue, reveal the far reaches to the world, and truly establish Imperial superiority in these simmering times. Bluerakers One until Four have failed.

      There is no room for Five to follow its predecessors as the vultures circle: Blackthorn Park, the Charterhall Two, even our erstwhile allies the Anixis Field Unit. Extensive and exacting analysis from Brainwave-60, the Ministry of Discovery’s experimental sparkmind, has revealed the involvement of an agent known only as Hart. Initial predictive algorithms suggest that trading patterns through the Three Queens have diverted important resources to wherever Hart’s operation is headquartered on Red Queen Island.

      For your own reasons, be as they might, you have your objective: find Hart, end whatever they’re doing to interfere in Blueraker, and enjoy the successful launch."

    • Blades '68: The Pingus Affair

      Dr. Stefano Pingus has invented a radical new sparkcraft engine, the Mark X Cork, but nobody wants to buy it. He's been reduced to offering it to Rajan Ankhayat to settle his gambling debts. Rajan wants to gift the engine to his sister Talya, noted autopod racer, at her birthday party at the Ankhayat Autodrome and on the family yacht, The Mumtaz.

      Akorosi and Skovlan intelligence is aware that the Ankhayat family want to regain control of their native Iruvia, and that Dr. Pingus' invention is useless for autopod racing but useful for all sorts of other military applications. It's up to the PCs to stop Dr. Pingus from completing the sale of the Mark X Cork engine to Rajan Ankhayat.

      But the PCs have their own connections to the Ankhayat family that could jeapordize the mission.

      It all comes to a head in... The Pingus Affair.
