The Haunt
A downloadable project
This is a playbook for John Harper's TTRPG Blades in The Dark, made for Dissonance's (https://moth-lands.itch.io/) Unusual Suspects game jam! It began as my take on this setting's strange equivalent of a getaway driver, with an emphasis on knowing secret paths through the urban sprawl. Over time, it generalised into a navigator and urban guide, with a few magical tricks under their belt.
The city is an organism. You need only walk the streets to see it— watch its blood course through thecanals, feel its heartbeat thumping in the cobbles. Haunts, more than anyone else, understand that thecity is, to humanity, a most gracious friend and a most spiteful enemy. To say those folks know the Dusklike the back of their hand is an understatement... in reality, they know it far better. Every sunlesscapillary is a home to them.
A Haunt is a devotee to the religion of alleyways and forgotten places— for the right price, they caninstruct you in matters of their faith.
Be the light that guides your crew through the endless night smothering Doskvol. Showthem the way into a secret world of the rooftops, canals and alleys. And remember this— you alwaysknow a way out.
