Prefer non-smoking? Ashtray and smoke can be safely deleted (although 3 out of 4 physickers agree that smoking is an important part of a healthy 60s lifestyle).

I had a ton of fun making these graphics; clocks, the ticking timebomb, the animated cigarette smoke, and an interactive map on the Score-matic 6800 that can be dialled into any district in the city. As always, @evilanemone.bsky.social did an incredible job bringing it all together!

The Blades '68 Complete Book for @roll20.net includes: 📕A full compendium of Blades '68, searchable in-browser 📍Detailed map of Doskvol 968 🦸70 stylish tokens 🗃️Faction deck 🕒Multiple countdown clocks 🕵️Sample PCs 💰Score planning table and more! 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.

But really you can't go wrong taking some Star Wars droid concept art and putting the head on someone wearing 1960s clothing.

I go all over the place with hulls, but some images I have variously used in games:

A suited figure with a sort of chrome mask and hand. Cover artwork for the science fiction novel Who? by Algis Budrys, illustrated by Alun Hood.

Mad Gallant, from MegaBeast Investigator Juspion

A blue-skinned man's face comes off, revealing skull-like circuitry beneath. Cover art by Davis Meltzer for Philip K. Dick’s Clans of the Alphane Moon.

Blades 68 question- favorite sources for images of Hull characters? or fav fictional androids that fit a swinging 60s retro futuristic theme?
