Death First To Scoundrels

God has retired to his Mithraeum. The Immortal Emperor lurks in his Unbroken Spire. The Hands and Gestures, Saints Undying, the Lyctors, have recently discovered the ghosts of the Old World, the Resurrection Beasts. The Cohort has just now clashed with those who claim they are humanity’s descendants, the Blood of Eden.  Yet, upon the Tenth House, in the haunted city of Doskvol, the scoundrels writhe and crawl and struggle to get to the top. Now, they wield the very powers of life and death and that inbetwixt for their fell goals.

What will you make of this new world?

What will it make of you?

Death First to Scoundrels is a supplement for Blades in the Dark, adding two new paired playbooks, three new factions, and rules for necromancy into the setting, adapting Tamsyn Muir's The Locked Tomb.

The Adept is a necromancer of many talents, attended by their Cavalier, working in tandem to achieve their nefarious goals. These playbooks are pair-bonded and cannot be separated from each other. One Flesh, One End.

Genesis, The Cohort, and Children of the New Dawn are three new factions who bring necromancy and the politics of the House system into Doskvol, as the Cohort attempts to bring the recalcitrant Tenth House to heel, the Children lead a necromancer supremacist movement, and Genesis strive to rid the House of those who pervert the sanctity of death as an undercover terrorist cell.

And with knowledge comes power, and power comes knowledge, as the ritual for Lyctorhood becomes apparent within these pages- after the arts of necromancy are understood and practiced, the final plunge shall be taken. 

Do you dare unlock the secrets of necromancy?
