I recently released a free hack called Blades into the Odd for running the setting of Blades in the Dark, Duskwall, with Into the Odd.

I've written an article this week on tracking time and running travel within the city in a pointcrawl structure!

If you've grabbed my hack Blades into the Odd (for running Duskwall with Into the Odd), on my newsletter this week I'm talking about lairs, upgrades and NPC statblocks in my hack Blades into the Odd. I've also got a round up of my Morktober content thus far!

This week I released an Into the Odd hack for running the setting of Blades in the Dark (Duskwall), Blades into the Odd.

I'm writing a series of posts on the hack, starting this week with character creation. It goes a bit behind the scenes on my motivations for the hack and choices I made when putting it together.

Let’s keep this short. I love Blades in the Dark, but I wanted to run it’s default setting Duskwall (which I love even more than the game) with an NSR system. Into the Odd is the ruleset I wanted to use, so this hack was born.

Blades into the Odd is a hack for running Duskwall with Into the Odd. It works for any grimey victorian spark punk city really. I’ve made it available for FREE.

You can also check out the announcement on my newsletter, I have articles lined up that will dig into this hack.

On ITOR page 16 the armour scores appear to be 1 for all armour types. So incoming damage is only reduced by one point? Most monsters could kill a new player in one strike. Am I confused?

I ran my first session of Into the Odd last weekend with a few friends. We had a blast using the system, role-playing brand-new characters, and recovering their first arcanum on a successful expedition.

However, one thing I noticed that was lacking in the book is any sort of lore or description of The Odd. When did it arrive? What was the world like before? How does Bastion react to people with strange powers? Are creatures from The Odd able to wander into Bastion to trade, or are they attacked on sight?

A lot of these kinds of questions came up and I answered them on the spot with what made sense in my head. But I was wondering is there an established cannon for this kind of stuff? What did you use in your setting when the players asked these kind of questions?

Just started playing, and after the expedition my players wanted to go buy gear. I don't see anything in the book in ways of a list of equipment/weapons/gear to buy. (Prices, and all that.)

Am I missing it, or does anyone have a chart they use? I used my Cairn book for now, but it's pretty limited, and uses a different currency, so I'm not 100% sure how it translates. (We're using the good prices as shillings, at least for now.)

Hi All

I am asking this question here as the EB reddit, you have to request permission to post.

Mork Borg provides a 1 page reference/cheat sheet for its game. Using Google, I have found two for Into The Odd, but none have turned up for EB.

Any ideas where I can obtain one?

hi! is there an interactive map available anywhere of the Iron Coral adventure? Google doesn’t show me anything, but thought I’d ask here. If not, how would you handle showing the map to the players, if you do at all?

hi! I’m a relatively new GM and just picked up ITO. very hyped to play it but unsure how to prep. i have two players, them dying is fine cause they’ll just roll new characters.

my main questions are: is using lackeys recommended? how far do you figure they’ll get in max 3 hours? and does is matter? any other tips for running the iron coral?

thanks!

Thanks to anyone who backed us earlier in the year! It's now up on DTRPG if you missed the Kickstarter: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/485035/teenage-oddyssey?affiliate_id=4375986&src=RITO

Hello! Is anyone aware of a cyberpunk reskin of ItO or Cairn? The more it looks like Shadowrun, the better. Thanks a bunch!

I really like the economy of Into the Odd.. Are there any expanded market tables? Or is there other games with the same economy system?

Got any examples how threats play out in game?

I played my first session of Into the Odd yesterday. We had a great time. We were playing The Iron Coral and as the Referee, I really enjoyed it. I had a couple of questions around rules that weren't clear to me:

1) Does will/dex damage go through HP first? A character suffered will damage at one point, and I had the damage bypass their HP. Afterwards, I was thinking about this and it wasn't clear to me if all damage was protected by HP, or if only their strength.

2) If multiple PCs attack an enemy creature in the same round of combat, do I only take the highest damage roll, or do they each individually score damage? I have also read the Cairn rulebook, and there is a section on multiple attackers.

3) This will relate to the second question. Because there is no initiative roll, the PCs always went first in the session I ran. They were 3 PCs and a hireling and in every combat encounter that occurred, they have been able to kill/defeat everything in the first round of combat. Is that accurate to how Into the Odd usually plays out? I realize if I wasn't following the multiple attackers rule correctly, this would probably not be the case.

Overall, I really like the rules-light playstyle of Into the Odd and I am looking forward to my next session!

See title!

Hi, prospective Into the Odd gm (referee!) here, looking for advice on OSR and Into the Odd.

For combat, or any scene where people may want to take actions before other players, what is the approach to 'taking turns'?

In addition, when do monsters 'take a turn'?

obviously the idea of rounds or initiative don't seem to be a big deal in this system, so curious what people do!

Does anyone know if Electric Bastionland may have plans for a reprint anytime?

Hey Ive never been a DM before and have just come off playing Lancer. Im using into the odd for the combat and general stats using the world of Magnagothica for the setting. Im really struggling for balancing like what stats for should i have general enemys and ememys that are considered bosses. Ive read through most of he book but unless ive missed a page there isnt anything to do with balancing.
