The Unity of Skovlan
A downloadable game
The Unity Of Skovlan is an unofficial collection for Blades in the Dark about the impact and aftermath of The Unity War, consisting of a campaign titled The Unity War, a short story titled The Legacy of Stonetable, and a rules supplement called Fractured Unity.
Due to licensing requirements, this game is provided as Pay What You Want. It's 180 pages of really good game content, so I would be extraordinarily grateful if you'd consider leaving either a donation or a rating with your download.
The Unity War is a prequel campaign to a game of Blades, though it can be played on its own. It tells the story of Alx Squad, an independent squad in the Skovlan military in the Unity War. The campaign starts at the beginning of the war, and follows the seven soldiers of Alx Squad throughout the whole 36-year War. Players will rotate control of individual Soldiers as they go through Missions, trying to survive and win the War. In the end, they cannot win. Alx Squad are not legendary heroes from the Unity War. They are just seven Soldiers, trying to do what they can against an overwhelming force that will, eventually be triumphant. Play The Unity War to experience an exciting war story, give context to the revolution coming to Doskvol, and experience a streamlined lead-in to Blades’ rules.
This is a short story about a Skovlander Mend living in Charhollow. It follows a day in her life as she tries to make a living in the vibrant but oppressed refugee neighborhood.
Adding additional rules and options, this supplement zooms in on Charhollow, a district in Doskvol dominated by Skovlanders, both long-present residents and refugees from the Unity War, the 36-year conflict in which the Imperium, led by their Immortal Emperor, violently imposed their claim of ownership over Skovlan. Fully compatible with Blades, the rules focuses the core of Blades on the close-knit and downtrodden revolutionaries who have not accepted the subjugation of the Skovlanders. Here's a peek at the new Crew and three new Scoundrel playbooks!
Additionally, over the past months I've been uploading an extensive series of articles exploring the entirety of the collection. If you're looking for more preview material, explanation of my development and though process, insight into how things might be used, or more Unity of Skovlan content, I recommend checking out any of the 36 posts collected here.
