The Deathlands is the ultimate challenge in Blades.

But most GMs (myself included) struggle to make it feel truly different from just another district of Doskvol - or to do so without a LOT of prep!

So I built something for us: a free Score Kit specifically for crafting Deathlands scores. A tool to generate the kind of nightmares our crews deserve.

It's built around four interconnected random tables that create complete score frameworks in minutes:

  • Theater: Want to play in the Lost District, or out in the ancient, Deep Dark lands well beyond the glow of Doskvol's lightning barriers? 
  • People: Who wants something from the wasteland badly enough to risk your crew? Who opposes them?
  • Locations: Imagine stumbling upon "Demon's Rest" - a clearing with the bloodvine-covered skeleton of an enormous creature, ground oozing thick red liquid.
  • Obstacles: You might roll up Wild Deathlands Demons with their own dark hungers and terrible bargains your crew might be desperate enough to accept.
  • Objectives: Perhaps "Tears of the Forgotten Gods" - crystals connecting to banned deities that cultists pay fortunes for while Spirit Wardens make traffickers vanish.

I've added optional mechanical tweaks too - making Desperate the default position and "Deathlands Heat" clocks that attract increasingly dangerous attention the longer you linger in one place.

The best part? It's designed to spark imagination, not constrain it. Use what works, ignore what doesn't.
