I am held up at a family function and will definitely be late for (and possibly not make it to) coffee hour today. No worries - Skool doesn't require me to be there to start the call, so if you were planning on hanging out with us then you should still do that! I will join you when I can.

Sign ups for next week's game are live! Gold members get first pick, but anyone can join us for free. You can join here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A0B44AFA723A2FB6-63725473-blades We play Blades in the Dark every week, Wednesdays at 7:00 PM ET.

We're planning on throwing in extra games at times when other people can try out the system and chat a bit.

If you haven't popped into the Friday 11am ET Coffee Hour yet, you should! Had a great conversation about our games today, did some workshopping of member ideas, and talked about DNA as forensic evidence in court cases. - Some puzzles we can emulate across multiple sessions (not for the faint of heart!): greatpuzzlehunt.com/puzzles - What @Mark Petersen is painting right now: myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-vile-steel-dragon-gargantuan-size-114270 - Here's a thread from 2004 with Unknown-Armies-style rumors! forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/unknown-armies-plot-in-a-line-thread.120418/ - A guide (possible from Ginny Di originally?) for helping players thinki through their warlock/patron relationship: docs.google.com/document/d/1JXte43MW6LQUZ6spO1CWv8tguhjtn1ZJAtr4ICZ8dxk/edit?usp=sharing We also talked a lot about puzzles today and how to implement them in sessions. If you have any links I missed, drop them in the comments!

7:00 PM ET Wednesdays! We're running our first sessions of Blades in the Dark on Wednesdays! It's open table---you can make one session and never play again, or try to play a bunch of times. No experience with the system is expected or necessary, and it's pretty easy to just pick up and go. I'll email details to those playing, but we'll run it in a Roll20 VTT, so you'll need a free account with them. You can make a PC in advance, or pick from pregens we'll have. Excited to play with you all! You can sign up below---spots are first come, first serve. 3/25 Game: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A0B44AFA723A2FB6-63028606-blades 4/1 Game: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A0B44AFA723A2FB6-63029032-blades If you're unable to make that day and time, don't worry! We'll have other days and times we'll do intermittently so more people have a chance to play. I'll also be launching a poll tomorrow to decide what criminal crew type we'll be playing as. See you all there!

Here's the Session -1 we ran last night for our Blades in the Dark campaign! Signups will go live tomorrow for our first session. I'll also link this in the classroom today, and find some time soon to put that Session -1 doc up that I had. Thanks to those who were able to stop by!
