This was a hell of a game! Chaotic and action-packed indeed.
The colorful cover of the Blades '68 book where the 68 has been crossed out and replaced with 69 in bright purple. Next to the that, the description for the $420k stretch goal which is FUNDED: Blades '69: The Sexual Revolution The 1960s were a time when the counterculture challenged establishment norms around sex, love, family, and a person's right to choose what happens to their own body. How does this conflict manifest in Doskvol? How does the Consensus exercise control through these dimensions of human experience, and what struggles and delightful deviancies does your group want to explore? Blades '69 is a combination of a worldbuilding exercise and safety tool to help you bring themes of both real-world and fantastical sexual liberation to your game."
Nice. 😎

A copy of wyrd science with a pair of googly eyes and a big mouth stick on it
Oh no, top cognitive and brain science researchers at Wyrd Science Inc. believe that Wyrd Science, the best tabletop game magazine in the world, may have developed consciousness & all this ‘print is dead’ talk is making it anxious
Maybe you should buy a copy so this little chap doesn’t feel so sad
A mockup of the Blades '69 book where the 69 has been crossed out and replaced with 69 in bright purple. Below that, the bio for April Kit Walsh which reads: April Kit Walsh writes games about feelings, vulnerability, and caring for one another, including Thirsty Sword Lesbians and End of the Line. She used to be a swordfighting ballerina, but claims those days are behind her; she has absolutely no idea who that masked heroine with the sword and the tutu might be. When not writing RPGs, April is a civil liberties attorney working to protect the rights of criminal defendants, activists, journalists, and everyone else impacted by the technologies of control or empowerment. Next to the bio, the description for the $420k stretch goal: Blades '69: The Sexual Revolution The 1960s were a time when the counterculture challenged establishment norms around sex, love, family, and a person's right to choose what happens to their own body. How does this conflict manifest in Doskvol? How does the Consensus exercise control through these dimensions of human experience, and what struggles and delightful deviancies does your group want to explore? Blades '69 is a combination of a worldbuilding exercise and safety tool to help you bring themes of both real-world and fantastical sexual liberation to your game.
yeah yeah we saw all you sly posters going "Blades '68? ...just ONE off."
Well we're not COWARDS. Challenge accepted!
At $420k we'll commission April Kit Walsh (designer of Thirsty Sword Lesbians) to write up... Blades '69
Time to put your money where your mouth is.

We've put on ~$4500 in the 12 hours since this was announced, and that's without any of the other marketing boosts Backerkit has baked in for the final leg of the campaign. It's a stretch goal for a reason, but the math is encouraging.
gotta be $670,000
today in 68: got a job from a hot mob daughter, demanded a pharmaceutical product demo, summoned a hungry echo instead, got our journo friend a scoop, set off three different types of explosives, stole the formula for precognition pills, and empathically informed the CFO he'd been pumped and dumped
Nice. 😎
Arguably those are already covered by the Swinger playbook and Dealer crew. If you check out the alt text, what April has pitched is very cool and intersects with the source material in an insightful way.
Hey Internet, y’all can do the funniest thing…
Ask your retailer to order through Spiral Galaxy Games. They may have been using Esdevium which does not stock our games any more.
If you want to order online, Leisure Games does a great job of stocking our products.
It's frustrating for us too. But: We're releasing a supply of the Limited Edition into international distribution. So you'll be able to ask your FLGS to order you a copy for far less than we could ship it to you.
That said, with 30+ stretches unlocked the PDF level is a great value
Hello AP producers, you need to get me running a Blades ‘68 campaign inspired by either Disco Elysium or Metal Gear Solid 3 immediately or you are leaving money on the table
