Magpie is an incredible GM that puts the players and cooperative storytelling above all else while keeping things grounded within the proper mechanics. Even Session 0 was done in a cooperative manner that really blew me away and helped set the tone and expectations for the players of the campaign. The campaign progresses quickly and smoothly, allowing each player plenty of speaking time, roleplay opportunities, and their chance in the spotlight. Magpie is strongly recommended for new players as she is incredibly patient and willing to politely repeat things as many times as necessary while making each mechanic as easy to understand as possible. Along with this, she has excellent judgement to not go into details about irrelevant mechanics that will come into effect in the future which allows beginners to follow more easily. I highly recommend Magpie to anyone looking to play Blades in the Dark. With her, you can rest assured that your time AND opinion will be valued and respected. My only regret is that I now have an incredibly high standard should I choose to play another TTRPG with other DMs :)
