Having re-entered a city changed dramatically in their absence, Asius, Cal, and Tamina follow leads that mean coming face to face with some familiar faces. Asius plays a song, Cal eavesdrops in the shadows, and Tamina gets caught unawares.

Honestly I'd just pay @unexploredcast.bsky.social to keep doing their shit but with funding now
Fun question inspired by a discord convo: If you had the resources of a renaissance noble and could commission an AP to entertain yourself, what would you commission and from who?

I snorted so hard at known criminal Noam Crininal, and then proceeded to repeat it to myself several times out loud.

As I just told Cap in DMs, I was legitimately surprised to learn "No GM that didn't happen" wasn't in the rulebook. Because it so perfectly captures the "players in control" vibe of fitd.

This whole thing had me hooked from the word go! I’ve always loved the Blades in the Dark game, & to hear 2 of my favorite #TTRPG podcasters using it to full effect is a dream come true.
The biggest compliment I can give is that it gives me the same feelings as The Magpies podcast. ❤️
