Blades in the Dark: Deep Cuts Just Got a New 1.1 Update From John Harper

Not long after the initial release of Deep Cuts, a major new expansion for Blades in the Dark from creator John Harper

A new update has arrived for John Harper's Blades in the Dark: Deep Cuts. The community-fueled update brings the popular expansion to version 1.1, adding clarity and tinkering to the modular rules.

The original release of Blades in the Dark: Deep Cuts was a major event in the BitD community. Hitting DriveThruRPG back in March, the 118-page book brought together a huge collection of new rules and new lore that really deepens the BitD experience. The modular nature of the rules is really exciting, letting you use the ones you want, ignore the ones you don’{~}t, and get your crew back in action fast.

With updates to everything from Harm and Healing to Actions and Teamwork, there’s plenty to love. And the new 1.1 update makes that a lot clearer.

The Deep Cuts 1.1 update provides some explicit clarity around certain rules. In particular, if you’ve been using the Threat Rolls and Teamwork rules, the update gives some clear-cut use cases, as well as additional flexibility. GMs and Players will find a lot to tinker with. If you love getting in under the hood of a game or just having new options, this book has you covered.

Here’s a look at some of the changes:
