Players: Shaun Hayworth, Noam Rosen, and David Rothfeder
System: Blades in the Dark, Quickset Rules v.5
Playset: Vigilantes draft 1.9

Yes, playtesting the my Vigilantes playtest! Mostly we got through character and crew creation.

Our Vigilantes

Wesley Whales (Walund) – aka Duke Bankore, is a Bluecoat under a false name! Since they would never take a Walund into their ranks, he changed his name to Whales, and yet another name (Duke) as he donned the mask of vigilante. He’s a smooth talker with some odd friends that he has to remember who he is to them. A slide played by David Rothfeder.

Emile Waylund – aka Echo, a sister in the Walund family who looks out for her little brother and makes concoctions to boggle the mind and blow holes in doors. Also, hooked on freebasing demon blood.  A leech played by Shaun Hayworth.

Thassalrath Waylander – aka Thrasher, son of a Walund smuggler who tried to set up shop in the Dagger Isles, Thrasher has recently returned to Duskwall and re-united with his family, though he’s learning the hard way what a pinch they are in. A cutter played by Noam Rosen.

The Crew

The Walunds – A family of who is literally know for selling (fencing) anything they can get their hands on an whose rivals The Bookers have just secured a deal with the Crows, elevating them to a place where they can really put the hurt on the Walund families. The Walunds (PDF)
