Blades in the Dark not only presents a unique take on roleplaying games in general, but it give us a setting with plenty of detail to get you started (while leaving plenty of blank space to invent your own games in). For groups moving from the more traditional wargame with story elements attached like Dungeons & Dragons, Blade's fiction-first take on things can take some getting used to, but it's well worth a bit of growing pains for the payoff. OUr group has been roleplaying together since the 1990s across dozens of systems, and Blades in the Dark has quickly grown become our favorite game.
