A downloadable Playbook

Spend too much coin. Overindulge. Wax poetic at the wrong moment. Lash out in anger. Burn bridges you still need. Rekindle old friendships. Celebrate victory and loss. Be forgivable because you are flawed.

Rakehells are good at pushing things too far and gambling with fate.  Play a Rakehell if you want to cause trouble and wrestle with the repercussions.

This is a great addition to Blades In The Dark! The playbook is really well done and compelling, it's obvious you have an excellent understanding about what makes the game unique. Bravo!

Thanks for taking a look.  I appreciate it!  Really, this is a playbook I made because I'd love to play it -- but also because these are abilities I'd love to see released into the ecosystem of this game.  In most crime stories, everyone has a little of this stuff in them.
