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.)

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!

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!
