Blades in the Dark campaign notes

A haunted industrial city of criminals, crews, ghost-fueled infrastructure, and elegant plans made after the burglary has already started.

RealmBinder turns your table's rough notes or recordings into a shared record of the campaign: session recaps, characters, places and quests. Set the campaign to Blades in the Dark and it knows the kind of story you are telling.

2 Blades in the Dark campaign frames

Choose a frame when you set up the campaign, or keep just the system. The frame picks the covers you start from, sets the look of the art, and tells RealmBinder the setting when it tidies your notes.

What changes in a Blades in the Dark campaign

Notes that keep the right tone

When RealmBinder rewrites a session or the Chronicler asks you about one, it is told what a Blades in the Dark story sounds like. It uses that for tone only: what your table wrote down always wins.

Tone
Tense, stylish, criminal, and occult.
Focus
Scores, faction tension, debts, ghosts, and consequences.
