Johnny, you recommended The Lies of Locke Lamora to us when you first told us why we should play this game. Of course every single one of us got the Thiefmaker reference.
God I love this game, also nice try to lure them into a Tier 5 score in a mansion owned by a potential vampire Johnny 😂
Fu-k vampires, ITS SANTA!!!!!!
Johnny: "You're like the Thief Maker of Shades Hill"
Me: "I understood that reference!"
I never expected this adventure to end on "Santa Claus uppercuts people with a sack full of fossil fuels"
How can any festive game not end with Santa kicking teeth in?
It was all going pretty seriously until it Oxventured out at that exact moment!
"You know how bacon fat gets solid when it cools? Imagine that as a person." - Most disgustingly vivid description of a player character ever. Well done, Johnny. More Blades in the Dark, please!
can we get "i hate it, lets do it" on a shirt or something please? xD
I've not played blades in the dark before, but it'll definitely tell everyone that santa showing up is a normal thing
Why does it say "oops camera broke"? I see no difference.
Alex Meehan is extremely funny and she often brings snacks. You should have her more often on TH-cam.
*Tune of Jingle Bells*
Elf is getting stabbed,
Jack just talks to ghosts,
Fingers being creepy,
Cranny does the most...
Johnny is GM,
Narrating fights,
Oh, what pain might be in store
On Dicebreaker tonight...oooooh...
Roll D6,
roll D6,
hope you get a crit...
Oh, what fun it is to play
As a killer with a blade!
I've never heard someone say "Santa Claus" with more disdain.
So let me get this straight: apart from wrestling (on a professional level), Santa also moonlights as some sort of murderous bodyguard? Whelp, I'm ever so grateful that the price for ending up on the naughty list remains a piece of coal and hasn't been elevated to "being clobbered to death with fossil fuels".
Beautiful artwork, just beautiful
I think it's safe to say we want more
If it helps Johnny come to terms with the canon, some of the "Santa" myths were originally attributed to Odin, so Elf potentially summoned an Old Norse God.
Johnny just desperately wants us all to read the Lies of Locke Lamora. He's right too!
I absolutely love the expression of joy and mischief on Wheel’s face when he realises that he’s on his own in the equipment room.
This is awesome!!!!!! Can we please get more Blades in the Dark?
Man. I've waiting for this for months. Totally served to demonstrate how the game is played. Best tutorial for GMs.
Only just got around to watching this, but I did get the Thiefmaker reference.
Can we have some more please lol
Jimmy the Lock is the greatest rogue character name i'ver ever heard.
The moment greasy fingers was introduced I thought about the thief maker! Good reference :)
That was brilliant! Greasy Fingas is one of my most favourite RPG characters ever!
I would love to see more of this
Lol love the BAND tshirt
Fav RPG on my Fav RPG channel. What a great Christmas gift!
This was delightful! Definitely going to have to pick up Blades in the Dark for my own group to try out.
ive ordered the book and cant wait for it to get in so i can start playing it
I was already getting thiefmaker vibes just from the voice. Damn, now I’ve got to go read that book again. So good.
I got the reference, Johnny. The Lies of Locke Lamora is fantastic
its like "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels of Ale"
Btw The ELF to win!!!
Woo yeah! Thief maker of Shade’s Hill! Locke Lamora is great…
1 minute in, like the video.
EDIT: also to note, the reference was lost on me but this Gentlemen Bastards series seems like a good read Johnny.
It really is a good series. Decent pacing on most of it, good story, likable(ish) characters. I'll stop the press tour now...
Oooh! Awesome! I just started playing this with some friends last week. Great craic :)
@Gary -- i've been trying to get my group into this, but i got a pair of poo-poo heads trying to tank the game every time i start one. Their unfortunately 3.0-3.5 edition D&D fanatics that either don't get the concept or don't care. They argued for 5 minutes 'bout gaining heat from their score, saying that "No BoDY SaW ThEm dO It, So HoW DiD AnYONE KnOW?'"...It's a bit fustrating let's be honest.
@@johnnysizemore5797 There's a massively collaborative element to these RPG games. You really have to be willing to just enjoy watching a story unfold and roll with things (lol) as they happen.
@Gary -- i know that and 2 of my players know that, but the two fanatical Muttonheads apparently don't. What makes it worse if that they've convinsed(?) the Casual player to go along with 'em. Between games they brag all the time 'bout the "Awesome" games they've ran and i can tell you, after trying to play a games with each of 'em as DM, i can safely say that neither of them could tell a good story if held at gun-point(one of 'em even went so far as to verbatim steal the Dark Souls story & rammed us through it with a Freight-train).
My "bright hope" in this debacle is my RPer and(weirdly enough) my Power Gamer both love the system and are intrigued 'bout how the Blades universe got to the point of where they are in-game(they want to set their gang up in Whitecrown as a version of Wolfram & Hart law offices), so i might be abke to salvage the purposeful sabotage....
@@johnnysizemore5797 i feel your pain. My people wont even look at the character playbooks
@@tootiredforthis1 did they give you a reason why or are they just poo-poo heads stuck in "D&D" land?
I now want to run a Blades character called "Jimmy the Lock"...
Johnny, I read the book after you suggested during your "What RPGs to play" video and loved it.
I only recently stumbled across this video, because I want to run a Blades game soon. So about the reference: Yes Johnny, The Lies of Locke Lamora is a very good book (been a while since I read it though, currently refreshing my memory with the audio book)
I got the thief maker reference, vindication for Johnny
Thanks folks!
I may be undertaking a BitD campaign later this month (January) and this was a great indication of what to expect, seeing it in action. :)
18:58 It just comes naturally to Johnny doesn't it
I was thinking Greasy Fingers was like the Thief Maker right before Johnny said it. I'm so glad he recommended that book, I just finished the last of the series (that's been published) and I loved it! Hopefully the next book comes out soon...
Wow... more of this kind of videos please :D
Got the reference (20:18). Yay for me!
Please count this as one other person getting the Locke Lamora reference, such an excellent series
Please let this be an ongoing series 🙏
Just a nuclear ending, very exciting
"You hear the jingeling of bells"... xD
Oh hey, I got that reference! I'm super late watching this, but I still got the shades hill reference!
Love the game, thank you for showing it.
That was fabulous!
Admittedly a bit late in watching this video, only subscribed a month ago, but count one for getting the thiefmaker reference.
Love a Camorr reference
And now we're no longer kept in the dark! :D
Ooooh a Lies of Locke Lamora reference.
A lies of Locke Lamora reference, of course I got it
Why don't you guys give us another session of this? I want to see what the three rogues think of Elf's special ability of "Summon Santa". It'll cheer us all up.
How much heat did they get for the second score? All of it. Duskvol had to invent new heat just for the crew to take it.
Didn't get the shades hill reference but i did get the boosh one.
Nice drawing
Who doesn’t get “The Thiefmaker” reference?
"Band"
This game is a lot of fun to watch, though the experience is somewhat destroyed by the fact that - unless you're within arms' reach of a mouse while watching - there are roughly 10 minutes of ads for every five minutes of gameplay.
I love seeing blades get played though - my group is struggling to wrap our heads around it, so it's awesome to see it run well. Nicely done.
I got that reference!
So, a question: when someone is killed by a ghost does the bell not ring? Because when Creepy Jack's banshee killed two sparkrites the bells didn't ring at first. Or did Johny just forget to mention that the first time someone dies?
Does that reference only have ten slots or is it ten plus me?
How do you handle Flashbacks that would be longterm projects in real time? Don't allow it or add a ton of stress?
Either, depending on the complexity
Progress clocks are the standard for complex or long term projects.. If its a one time use thing maybe id let them buy it in a flashback or downtime, but i wouldn't let them start a clock in a flashback and then say its done now.. If that makes sense lol
A Mighty Boosh/Dice Breaker crossover please please please
OMG just now seeing this, and the MSPaint camera...awesome. Very well done. It looks just like them.
Johnny looks more lively on this one, also Sara just owns the room in character
I'm getting serious Geoffrey Rush as Barbosa vibes from Alex
This was amazing.
I love how this RPG plays, I hope we'll see some more of it in the future from you lovely people
Yes, caught the Thief-Taker reference. Well done all 'round.
A Christmas miracle saves the gang!!
The Mighty Boosh reference made me actually laugh out loud I gotta rewatch that
Is that not a reference from the Lies of Locke Lamora?
