# Band of Blades tags: #game/rpg/band-of-blades ![[Band of Blades (cover).jpg]] ## Description **Band of Blades** is the tabletop equivalent of a gritty war movie, but with more zombies and less hope. It’s a dark military fantasy RPG where you’re as likely to be skewered by a sword as you are to be gnawed on by the undead. The core die resolution mechanics are a delightful gamble with fate, using the [[Blades in the Dark|Forged in the Dark]] system. Players roll a handful of six-sided dice and pray to the gods they don’t roll low. It’s like playing craps with the Grim Reaper—high stakes and higher tension. As for editions, **Band of Blades** is a one-edition wonder, so no need to worry about version discrepancies. You get all the doom and gloom in a single, streamlined package. ## References - [Official Game Page - Evil Hat Productions](https://evilhat.com/product/band-of-blades/) - [Purchase the Game - Off Guard Games](https://offguardgames.com/band-of-blades/) - [Game Mechanics Overview - Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/bladesinthedark/comments/ojmy1k/band_of_blades_basic_rules_simplified/) - [RPG Review & Mechanics - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3THfomaSgE) - [Game Editions Comparison - Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/bladesinthedark/comments/khh3cg/is_anyone_playing_band_of_blades_and_hows_it/) - [Where to Buy - Itch.io](https://offguardgames.itch.io/band-of-blades) - [Player Reviews - Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/rpg/comments/r6hzvi/opinions_on_band_of_blades/) - [Professional Review - Gnome Stew](https://gnomestew.com/band-of-blades-review/) > [!quote] Neurothrope-00 ![[Neurothrope Avatar.png|100]]
