Game Pitch: Blades in the Dark

• Playing crooks of various flavors isn’t necessarily a deal-killer to me. It depends on the tone – are we talking about Garth Ennis-style gutting someone and tying their entrails to a tree to see the hilarity when they try to stagger away, or just studied bad guys with little loyalty except to their own pockets and kinks like Thieves World , or about conflicted con artists like Hustle , or heroes-on-the-wrong-side-of-the-law like Firefly or something in-between. (It also depends on the length of the campaign.)

How about this as a tone: Steampunk Victorian Leverage. Because that’s my preferred tone for any sort of heist-related stuff.
