Not sure if there is a resource for this, tried quickly searching for it and didn't see one, but if not, I figured I would throw up a thread for people to share the implied or indirect lore of Blades in the Dark from official materials that can be lost if you don't read everything or just for folks who sometimes struggle to connect the dots.

What's your favorite implied/indirect lore?

Just toying around with ideas for campaigns that may never happen or day dreams or whatever, and I was just curious, if you hate to figure out a system or group of categories by which you were going to group Factions in a way that could be used in your campaign what would it be?

Would you stick to just tier/power like we already have?

What about roles/function? Grouping together things that are 'city services' like brigadiers cabbies?

What about grouping factions into the same groups as player character Backgrounds (academic/lawmilitary/labor/underworld)?

What about the smaller version like how deep cuts already has, have you found interesting uses for that?

Just curious what fiction/mechanics based organizational thoughts others have had.

Have never seen Dardoch play, but even before his now infamous interview Exyu seemed like the worst jungler in tier 1, so maybe this is an upgrade for Dignitas. I still think Ignar is not great, but maybe Denathor and Palafox can make them not a bottom 2 team with a better jungler?

Yo, so I watched BCS when it came out, full on weekly podcast listener and everything, so I know and do remember that, in general Vince and Peter did a lot of writing on the fly season to sesason, but I'm rewatching the show and don't necessarily have it in me to also do all the accompanying podcast stuff, and I'm trying to remember/wondering how much character backstory that actually had in mind in advance.

The specific one that has me wondering is Kim, becausee I'm at the point where we finally get her backstory and she's heading into her Slippin' Kimmy era, and I can't remember if things like the meaning and story behind the earrings were things they had plans for or just stuff they made up on the spot.

Even the larger implications of how Kim is a habitual enabler of the flawed people in her life seems to fit so well, and I truly just can't recall if it was actually a thing they had in mind or if it was just one of those things where the hole in the characters story happened to line up with consistent elements they had developed over time.

Anyways, anyone with better memories or information on all of this is greatly appreciated.
