    Great Book, Amazing System
    5 Stars
    Great Book, Amazing System
    A dense, robust setting with easy to grasp mechanics all wrapped up in a nice quality book with great presentation.It's funny to me that other TTRPG systems cost twice as much for one book, and three are required to play (looking at you D&D). For Blades in the Dark, you just need this book and you are good to go. The production company even sends you a free PDF of the book if you show them proof of purchase. Excellent quality for the price.Only two criticisms:1) The artwork in the book is very sparse for something with such an evocative setting. Wish there was more.2) The cover and pages are of that slightly matte quality that grabs the oil from your skin like nobody's business. Keep your hands very clean and dry when handling the book or you will tarnish it.
