Shadowy figures dart through the gaslit alleyways, footsteps drowned out by the belching of factory smoke and drone of incoming leviathan hunter vessels. Nefarious capitalists exploit the downtrodden masses for imperialist gain. Occultist secret societies compete for the hearts and minds of disillusioned masses. In this "game night" discussion panel, Pitt historians Niklas Frykman and Pernille Røge discuss the popular RPG Blades in the Dark as a window into the actual history of industrialization and class struggle that inspired it.
