My group has been playing Blades in the Dark for a while and were thinking of changing gears a bit to something softer and that had talking animals. I’ve read through the rules and it seems great! Any advice though for a firsttime group? Guide vs guideless, online play setup (we’ve been using roll20 for Blades), playbooks you recommend as really fun?

If you’re into spreadsheets, I found those to be pretty helpful for notes and such. Here’s mine from when my group tried it: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SDi41wrjVvQaca6XZn8zpSRNqjFsxSpXnt9BhyOAtE4/edit?usp=drivesdk
Haven’t actually played a session but having read through and trying the location generation process, I think it would be useful to make cards/handouts for all the archetype infos as well as the playbooks (especially if each player doesn’t have a copy of the book to reference). If you’re a more hands on keeper, you may also benefit from generating possible areas in advance so less work is needed on the fly. This is a bit counter to the game’s ethos of having players more actively shape the world but may help ease into the idea for groups that are used to more traditional ttrpgs
