Bonus Content: The Rumordish Interview
Previously a Patreon exclusive, we celebrated our one-year anniversary with a goofy, non-canon bonus episode! It features Florence Fable, reporter extraordinaire for Rumordish, Duskwall's premiere source for scandal and gossip, as she asks the Magpies only the most hard-hitting questions. (In other words: we did a bunch of online quizzes in-character and it was a lot of fun.)

Bonus Content: The Acorn Score
Previously a Patreon exclusive! Since Kim wasn't able to join the main group for The Two Scores Score, she and I recorded a solo adventure with Blaire. It was a fun session where we were both still figuring out the system and setting. It's the backstory for the acorns that Blaire carried with her throughout the entire show.
Special thanks to Minna for editing this episode! -
Bonus Content: The Two Scores Score
Formerly a Patreon exclusive, this is one of the very earliest adventures of the Magpies, from before we started posting episodes! It's the story behind the "hitting two gangs in one night" score that's been referenced a few times. Things are a little rough, as we were all still getting the hang of the system and recording, but it's a fun story nonetheless.
Special thanks to Josie for helping edit this episode! -
Bonus Content: Season 3 Blooper Reel
Previously a Patreon exclusive: Thirty minutes of goofs from Season 3. Featuring Kim's Scurlock thirst, Rhi being viciously assaulted by pop punk puns, and the life-changing knowledge that two animated musical versions of Titanic exist.
-
Bonus Content: Season 2 Bloopers
Previously a Patreon exclusive: With Season 2 officially concluded, it's time for the blooper reel! Almost 30 minutes of bits, goofs, and obscure references. Also some singing. Enjoy!
Customer Reviews
Excellent Podcast
I’ve read through the first two seasons’ written transcripts and am now working my way listening to the Podcasts. It’s a highly entertaining Blades in the Dark story and the storyteller and cast are clearly enjoying themselves. Highly recommended.
Great characters, great narrative, slick editing, 5/5
I binged this show in like 3days while working - I cannot overstate how good it is.
I LOVE Blades in the Dark and have played like 1000+ hours of the game myself, and I somehow only just heard about this show, despite oft grumbling “there should be more high quality blades AP content”
Rhi is a wonderful GM of the system, and the cast are all incredible, and yeah. Listen to it already.
Great "actual play"
The system is being followed and it's great to hear the details of how this is worked out (the rolls, the decision on positions and outcomes), but more importantly, the story is great and the cast (characters and GM) is likewise awesome. Highly recommended!
