I agreed to run a game of Blades in the Dark starting in Feb. I've not run or played it before, but I have plenty of GMing experience. The plan is to do a limited game, once or twice a month for about six months (so somewhere around nine to twelve sessions in total).

It seems like the most important thing will be getting as much of the lore in my head as I can between now and then so that I can respond to the evolving gameplay, rather than plan out any kind of storyline.

If anyone is interested in sharing their dos and don't, or other experience, my player will appreciate it.

Thanks for the detail.

Nov and Dec are going to be read, re-read, and watch videos to get prepped. I'll makes notes along the way to help with Factions and NPCs.
