Heist Decks
There are two decks. The Blades in the Dark Heist Deck has people, treasures, and challenges that can inform a quick heist design. These overall targets and people can inspire one heist, or a multi-step arc to get at a bigger haul. The challenges can complicate any environment.
The Heist Deck is a more focused resource, where all the people are middle-management level so they could be targets or clients. There are heist objectives, and complications, and locations. The heist planner can lay the cards out in a pattern to get an at-a-glance dashboard.
Combining the two allows for a mechanically focused heist with larger overtones of bigger treasures and other people in the background, with challenging obstacles to increase the hazards along the way.

The print deck has 50 obstacles with questions to help customize them, and on the back, suggestions for scaling them to be more or less difficult. It also has 40 cards with an important person on one side, and a treasure on the other.
The .pdf deck has the same content. You print out and cut up yourself.
Both have an instruction page to help make heists.
