Available now: marketplace.roll20.net/browse/bundl...

A screenshot of part of the Roll20 setup for Blades '68. It's mocked up as a 60s style device called the Strangford-Michter Score-matic 6800. On the left is a map of Doskvol 968. Several tokens representing PCs are spread around it. Next to the map are a couple index cards for Scores. One has details for an Opportunity from a person named Cross on behalf of the SCORPION syndicate asking the group to target the Red Torque faction in return for a 6-stack payout. The screen has five different countdown clocks: 4, 5, 8, 10, and 12-part counters along with a 10-part counter rendered as a ticking bundle of dynamite. An ashtray with a smoking cigarette and glass of whisky add some decorative flair to the scene.
