I own Blades in the Dark and find the game very intriguing… but I honestly bounced of the setting entirely, and I don’t think my group would dig it either (I apologize if that is blasphemy).

But Blades ‘68, yeah that’s my vibe. The art, the time period, the aesthetic. I love it.

My concern is that as a supplement and not a standalone spinoff I’ll struggle to play and teach the game without experience playing Blades first.

Do you guys think it’s feasible to jump right into Blades ‘68? Or would you suggest trying Blades in the Dark beforehand?

It appears to me that the 2026 OSE update is now live on Drivethrurpg. I’m interested in checking it out, but I bought the book from Exalted Funeral a while back and the digital content there doesn’t seem current.

Is anyone aware if there’s a way to access DriveThru content even if you bought through Exalted?
