This is wonderfully put together and well-written! Time to start prefixing as many words as possible with 'hog' because it honestly seems to work for everything. 

I'm definitely tempted to run this for some new-to-RPGs friends too, it feels like the type of relatively simple but evocative concept that'd work really well.

Thanks for the kind words! Do let us know if you run it.

I did end up running this and we had a great time! It was a little tricky managing the threat of the hogstorm, since the group became very interested in specific details of each encounter and setting... but I ended up being lenient (mostly) and it worked out well. Everything ended fairly spectacularly on a church roof that was very much on fire, and there may even have been a few sparks of unexpected friendship between Lady de Grope and Mr Wickle.

It was the first time I've run a Blades in the Dark system, so I found it a bit challenging to manage position/consequences, especially for partial successes. Overall, though, it a was a really smooth and fun experience - the players loved it.

Thanks for the kind words! Glad you had a good one with it.

Those Blades In The Dark dice rolls do take a while to get used to, especially if you are used to quite different systems. I couldn't see *at all* how it would work when I first read them, but now I am a total convert. (Obviously!)
