The Ascendant

At first, there was just the one. A weak, downtrodden soul who stared into the void between the stars and dared to ask for mercy. You fulfilled their wish, willingly. Where you end and they begin is hard to tell, now. They have become far more than they could ever have imagined. And you? You’ve only just begun. There are many, many more that pray for guidance. They, too, will become Ascendant. In time.

The Ascendant is a playbook for Blades in the Dark, designed for the Unusual Suspects Jam with the help of the Blades Playbook Template. It has been pitched as somewhere on the popstar-warlock scale, as well as the Taylor Swift - Galadriel spectrum. Themes of divinity, fandom, and other problematic social structures abound.
