Shadows and Daggers

You are the crew of the upstart gang of scoundrels known as the Raptors. You live in the city of Geistval, a dark urban sprawl whose technology is powered by the screams of imprisoned ghosts. Just before your mission began, your crew's leader Darcius was overcome by the demon Yasoth, leaving it to you to complete your mission alone.

Shadows and Daggers is a mashup of two of John Harper's incredible RPGs. It combines the supernatural heists of Blades with the minimalism of Lasers and Feelings. The game is three pages: one for character creation, one for game rules, and one for GM advice.

Each character has a single stat: their Number. You want to roll under your Number if you're using Shadows (stealth and trickery). You want to roll over your Number if you're using Daggers (intimidation and brutality). Rolling your number exactly results in Shadow Daggers, giving you a supernatural premonition.
