  • Excellent Blades Actual Play

    I’m learning the Blades system to play with my home ttrpg group, and this live play been really helpful and entertaining. Love the scores Rhi comes up with and how ready the players are to contribute to the fiction.

  • I came to this podcast to learn more about Blades in the dark system, but this podcast has become SO much more for me! I loved all the characters and their adventures! Rhi is a wonderful GM! I'm so grateful I got to hear all their adventures in Doskvol :)

  • Arrived Late But Love!

    Found this podcast after it was already done but have absolutely been listening constantly through the whole show. Love the variety of real-world issues covered in a variety of different ways, long and fruitful PC arcs, and the amaaazing cast of NPCs and guests. And all the ghost riots. Felt sad that it was coming to an end, heard that a new show was being worked on, and found that I had already downloaded it! Great job on knowing your voice, folks, and attracting your people 💞

  • You’ll wish you could hang out with them

    The players and GM work together to create a world where each cloud in this dark world has more than a silver lining. These clouds are rocking silver booty shorts, sliding around the darkened skies and glittering like the queerest roller rink kids ever. The found family energy is so strong here that I feel seen even though I’m not heard (like a mini-Kevin). I love this podcast.
