Arcane as in the League of Legends Netflix show (first few episodes mainly).

I’m not big on the sort “oppressive, endless darkness/ever encroaching void” vibe of the default Blades setting. But while watching Arcane I can see how well it could mesh with the system.

Thing is, I’ve never actually run a Blades game before. Mostly listened to podcasts, read some of the book and played a session of Scum & Villainy.

How easy is it to tweak the “vibe” of the default setting? Reading through the book is not doing much to inspire me, but I like the system a lot and think I could get into the setting if I could just make it more of my own.

Should be noted that I’m not looking to play in the world of Arcane verbatim. It’s just a touchstone.
