My man turned basically 1+1/2 pages in the book into a 10 minute video. Bravo! I'd love to see you do a deep-dive into the War in Crows Foot in a later video, because information on that event is scattered all throughout the book.
Okay, but that art you used for the Immortal Emperor was perfect. “The God-Emperor of Mankind’s head on a Lich’s body”, is how I imagine it too. Sprinkle in a bit of Lovecraftian imagery and it’s spot on.
Also in my headcanon of the Governor’s Palace, it definitely has some big ass Junon-like cannons that are meant to defend the city from naval invasion… but that also just happen to be able to fire into the city as well should it ever revolt.
I think having vigilante NPC's could serve as a nice GM tool if things get too out of hand or to shake things up if they go too smoothly. In the former, say the party causes a delay in the shipping/receiving of parts for maintaining mouse mincing rooms. Just as an example.
Wish i got to play this, friends and I were going to but it fell through. Was gonna be a formerly noble masked thief trying to get his family fortune back and keep up appearances. His fiance was gonna be an important inspector, who was definitely after said thief, woulda been fun
Silly question but ya think it'd be possible to run a Bluecoat game? I feel like it could be interesting trying to do the "cop blurring the line." (Somewhere between Mad Bull 34 and The Shield, definitely watch the latter if ya haven't)
Yes actually. Not just in attempting to convert or have your scoundrels work as bluecoats, but there is an actual free short supplement called Flame without Shadow. Has a Bluecoat, Inspector, and Spirit Warden initiate playbook alongside some scores.
Pretty much, yeah. You might find one or two who try to hold onto an ideal of what it means to be a good cop, but those types will quickly be blackmailed or otherwise forced to join the underworld aspects of the City Watch, or else be disappeared and never heard from again. There's even a group of ex-Bluecoats known as the Gray Cloaks, who were all framed for burning down their watch station. While they are innocent of that specific crime, and Inspectors are trying to prove their innocence, they still have their old uniforms and frequently masquerade as the police officers they used to be to bully those who are poorer or less politically connected than themselves. The only "innocent" institutions in Duskwall are the Spirit Wardens and the Inspectors. Inspectors are appointed by the Lord Governor and are usually picked from foreigners who have no close ties to Duskwall. They are quite possibly the only people you can count on to care about justice and a fair trial in the city, which makes them one of the most hated factions in Duskwall. The Spirit Wardens serve the Emperor directly, are almost exclusively made from people not native to Duskwall, and are generally only interested in collecting the dead so that they can prevent their angry spirits from attacking the populace.

Came for the Lancer, stayed for the presenting style and info about all things tabletop
Same. Loving the spell a day. (I watch them in batches)
I came for the Blades in the Dark, this guy has the best presentation out of all the Blades in the dark content on UA-cam.
This is a game where the punishment of exile can be significantly worse than just death or imprisonment. Thanks for the video.

Oh I love this twist on defending itself against the city itself. Also likely very accurate with the governors relation to the locals.
10:35 onwards, using vermintide 2 footage? Rad as hell.
Oh hell yeah! I timed looking at your channel at the right time!
Perfect timing.

Aaaaaah, I love the very clear dishonored vibes in this setting.
Yo! This was so cool. Also with all this dishonored art I now have the urge to replay it xD
Thanks for covering this man. You're awesome 🙏😃
Somehow spent an entire session in downtime fighting these guys because of entanglement. Love this game
if you come across and inspector
you can teach them to swim with concrete shoes if you catch my drift

Comment for the comment god, like for the like throne.
That line at the end, wow. Awesome video, can't wait to hear about the more supernatural side of things!

@@Zaktact Oh dang, nice. Thanks man
Ah, Blades in The Dark, where you are not safe from being morally grey.
Oh nice! Great BITD lore vid to end the day!
Positive comment
Now I really want to play in a blades in the dark campaign, where the players are ex-bluecoats, who try to preserve their own justice
Casual reminder (and being hopefull) of you still not having done the karakin trade baronies yet. Still looking forward to it though :)
good advice at the end
Hey, I have that same Star Wars Shirt :3
Knives in the dark seems like such a fun setting, I just wish I had people to run it with
So, is it safe to say all bluecoats are corrupt?
Definitely a likely hood to bet a bribe on.

Commenting for the algorithm
Maybe one day Scum and Villainy? Definitely not star wars on blades in the dark mechanics ;]
