Both my fiancée and I are playing in one of Magpie's games. Unfortunately, since we share the same profile, we can only leave one review. To make sure we both get to share our experiences, I’ve split this into two parts, one for each of us. Myself: I’ve known Magpie for a while outside of her games, and she’s always been a wonderful person to be around. At the table, she’s fun, welcoming, and truly shines as a GM. She creates an engaging story while giving players plenty of freedom to be creative and shape the game together. Playing in her games has been an absolute blast and the highlight of my Wednesdays! Fiancée: I tend to be really shy, whether it’s joining a new table or even participating in games I’ve been in for a while. Magpie has been incredibly supportive, helping me feel more comfortable and encouraging me to jump in and be part of all the fun chaos at the table. She’s made the experience both exciting and welcoming in and out of the game.

I honestly wish Sean had a spot open in a campaign so I could play with him more often! As a longtime GM and Player, I can't recommend Sean enough! He was very helpful when people had questions, encouraged any ideas we had at the time, and was great at keeping everything dynamic and fun.

I’m a longtime player, game master, and general TTRPG enthusiast, and I think Erin is truly a gem! She does an amazing job setting the atmosphere for her games, giving players the space to have their moments of both silliness and seriousness, all while seamlessly handling NPCs, maps, and everything in between. Personally, I’m not usually a fan of horror in tabletop RPGs. I joined her Curse of Strahd game on a whim, unsure if I would enjoy it — but now I absolutely love my Thursdays thanks to her! Erin strikes the perfect balance: I get genuinely spooked (I've had actual goosebumps!) while still being able to laugh and have fun.

Omnom did a wonderful job making me feel welcomed and getting me introduced after the campaign had already started. I might have only played one session with her, but I could tell right away that the campaign would be something special with the way she weaved everyone's backstories into important elements of the main plot! I wish I didn't have to leave, and if I ever got the time free again I would definetly consider a spot at Omnom's table in the future 💜💙

I've been playing tabletop games for nearly all my life now, across multiple generations of tabletop systems. After running and playing Pathfinder 2e (PF2e) for a few years, I can happily say it’s my go-to system for any kind of fantasy gaming. It’s flexible enough to accommodate games ranging from dark fantasy to high fantasy while offering players a lot of choice in how they build their characters and approach roleplay, combat, and exploration. I could run a party of all fighters or witches and I don't think you would be able to tell on first glance. This flexibility also extends to the GM, with tools for easy encounter building, intuitive rules that build on one another, and meaningful ways to reward players. The Pathfinder community has also been incredibly welcoming, actively shutting down gatekeeping and those who would make the community or system a hostile place. Paizo themselves amplify this positive environment by including multiple LGBTQ+ gods and characters in the lore, items that make playing LGBTQ+ and disabled characters easy, and their thoughtful handling of cultural topics—for example, consulting experts and people from those cultures when writing the Tian Xia books. Pathfinder 2e has quickly become my number one system after only a few years of play. I would happily run it for anyone or jump into any game if asked!
