Quickstart Guide - Stop Teaching New Players the Wrong Rules!

Hey fellow GMs and scoundrels!

If you're running Blades in the Dark: Deep Cuts and bringing in new players, you've probably hit this frustration: all the quickstart guides teach vanilla mechanics, forcing you to constantly say "learn this, but actually that's changed in Deep Cuts..."

No more teaching then un-teaching! I created a focused 5-page quickstart guide that teaches ONLY Deep Cuts mechanics from the start.

What Makes This Different:

• Built specifically for Threat Rolls (not Action Rolls)
• Teaches the new Push Roll resistance system
• Explains Deep Cuts-specific Load and inventory rules
• Covers flashbacks and XP with Deep Cuts terminology
• Just enough to get playing without the 400+ page rulebook!

What's Included:

• Quick crew creation (all crew types)
• Streamlined character creation
• Core mechanics explained simply
• Clean, printable 5-page format

I've used this successfully with multiple groups of complete Blades newcomers. They were up and running in under 30 minutes without ever needing to "unlearn" anything when they eventually encountered the full rules.

This is the guide I wish I'd had when Deep Cuts first dropped. Completely free - just trying to make our favorite game more accessible to new players!
