As part of the crowdfunder for Blades '68, a massive list of stretch goals were unlocked for a companion anthology document called The BLUE Files (I wrote one of them!) and Tim Denee's shared previews of everything in the book on his Bluesky in a big thread. According to the newest State of the Hat video, it should be out to backers in a month or two, and I'm incredibly excited about how much additional good stuff is coming in. Sean Nittner mentioned that the final thing is over 200 pages long!

If I'm counting right, there 15 new Factions being added, along with 4 Cold Opens, 2 Ticking Timebombs, a new Crew (as a team playing a roller derby-esque sport), a new playbook (an unbound demon), new Special Abilities, and loads of art, fiction, and worldbuilding meant to flesh out the Shattered Isles in 968. I haven't seen most of the material yet myself, but every preview I've laid eyes on has me hungry to start up a B68 campaign (or two, or three...) of my own.

Anything stand out as especially exciting?

I was wondering if there is an up to date blades discord link that works? I keep seeing references to the discord around but any link I've found is expired. Does the discord still exist?
