[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 7960334, member: 6696971"] Since the lead post says D&D and "other", I'll volunteer my last session of Blades. It was only an hour-long Information Gathering/Free Play of Blades in the Dark. The first attempt at securing a possible Score went reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally sideways when Leninist-inspired Revolutionaries (a problem born out of thin air due to the background of the Whisper's time at the academy) performed a terrorist op on a cafe where the PCs were meeting an unknown muckraker about a possible smuggling job. One Major Complication (1-3 result on a PC Action Roll) turned the Position Desperate and then another Major Complication (1-3 result on a Disclaimed Roll > basically like rolling for Wandering Monsters and finding out what happens) turned into a bunch of high society ladies and gents getting knifed up on both the balcony and the ground sitting area by the revolutionaries (screaming their manifesto battlecry) while a couple of impotent Bluecoats fumbled with their coffees and loaf in fear, struggling to react appropriately and timely (another Major Complication on another Disclaimed roll to see how the Bluecoats managed). The PCs made a quiet escape from the scene back to their rendezvous point (one PC was at the cafe while the other was in an overwatch position). A new Tier-relevant rival/threat was established, the PCs gained the upper hand on these two (now named) bumbling coppers if issues arise in the future with them (or to use as leverage in a Score), and both PCs each ate 2 Stress in their efforts! The next Score-gaining attempt went relatively fine and we'll play the Score and Downtime next session (Saturday). [/QUOTE]
