This is an officially licensed TTRPG set in the GItS: Arise universe. The kickstarter just ended so I’m not trying to convince anyone to back it, I just think it’s impressive that they only wanted ~$11k to fund the project and raised almost $500k. That’s awesome!

    It’s a custom system built using the forged in the dark engine, which is a stellar choice for any game where you play a series of daring missions.

    The first game made with that engine - the game that launched the engine - was heavily inspired by Dishonored. Its particular flavour of steampunk is fairly close to cyberpunk.

    This is all to say that they made a very good choice with the system - it’s perfectly suited to the setting, well-designed, and powerful and flexible in play.

      Well, ok. At least that. I was afraid it’s going to be another Altered Carbon

      Edit: I hope they’ll get rid of playbooks in that one

      That’s really cool, I didn’t know there was a TTRPG based on Dishonored. Thanks for adding more details for the poor ignorant fools like myself who don’t follow TTRPGs!

        Blades in the Dark, it’s called.

        The setting is quite different from Dishonoured, though you can see the influence clearly and it’s mentioned by name as a media touchstone.
