The streets of Duskwall are haunted. By vengeful ghosts and cruel demons. By the masked spirit wardens and their lightning hooks. By keen-eyed inspectors and their chattering crows. By alluring purveyors of vice and pleasure. By thieves, murderers, and scoundrels like you—Blades in the Dark.

The noble elite grow ever richer from the profits of their leviathan hunting fleets and electroplasm refineries. The Bluecoats of the Constabulary crack skulls and line their pockets with bribes. The powerful crime syndicates bleed money from every business, brothel, drug den, and gambling house. And then there's your crew of scoundrels: at the bottom of the ladder. Can you make it to the top? What are you willing to do to get there? There's only one way to find out...

Blades in the Dark is a roleplaying game about a gang of criminals seeking their fortune on the haunted streets of Duskwall. There are heists, chases, occult mysteries, dangerous deals, bloody skirmishes, and, above all, riches to be had if you’re bold enough.

You play to find out if your fledgling crew can prosper amidst the threats of rival gangs, powerful noble families, malevolent ghosts, the city watch’s Bluecoats, and the siren song of your own vices.
