Born to Die is an actual play podcast using the Blades in the Dark system, following the adventures of a gang of hooch-peddling youths (the Tangle Teasers) in the elf-punk fortress city of Glimmer Falls.
What would life be like in an elvish society which suddenly lost their long lifespans, lost their magic and found themselves under siege by the forest itself?
We don’t know the answer to that question, and that’s the point. We play this game to find out the answers together, and to have fun along the way.
We roll dice and we try to follow the rules, but mechanics are secondary. Born 2 Die feels like a mix of TV show writers’ room and improv troupe, not like moving figures around a game board.
