The Contender
A downloadable playbook
An Original Playbook for Blades 68
Blades 68 brings the city of Doskvol into the swinging 60s with an all new cast of characters, strange paranormal entities, and an entire catalog of nefarious factions.
But what if you wanted to move the dial just a little further?
Introducing the Contender, an all new custom playbook for Blades 68 inspired by aspirational figures of the funk era.
Be they a fledgling athlete or a down-on-their luck musician, the contender is a true underdog. They might have talent, but talent only takes one so far in this city. If they want the spotlight they’ll have to steal it.
Fortunately stealing is in their repertoire.
Will you become a cult film sensation, a Ragskulla king, or Doskvol's next rockstar?
Leisure & Lace
A bonus rolodex of eight custom factions focusing on sports, leisure, and the arts.
Employ these quirky factions in your Blades 68 campaign be it as inspiration for a score, flavorful backing factions, or merely as purveyors of vice.

Leisure & Lace is an absolute home run - a masterful display of love for the era that underpins B68, all of it just as good as anything canon. Well done! Special praise goes to every Prestige Ability, they're all brilliant; my favorite is MODE's letting you pose for the paparazzi.
I'm a huge fan of the 'mundane' corners of fantastical settings and you *get* it.
Impressive itch.io layout. The added magazine sells the playbook.
Justin really knocked it out of the park with this. Really fun ideas and special abilities, breath-taking graphic design, and almost a campaign's worth of hooks.in the form of all new factions.
I said it in my rating but let me say again here - this is extraordinary. Not just the playbook, but a whole magazine's worth of extra factions with business cards and everything. Impeccable.
