I've yet to run a game of Blades, but I'm constantly waiting to jump on the opportunity.

What supplemental resources do you like to use for your games? Any particular playlists? Maps of Duskvol?

I like the "Blades in the Deck" faction & location cards. An easy and convenient way to reference information from the core book and playkit.

Are these the official 'decks' on DTRPG? I've seen them on there but wasn't sure of their usefulness, so a recommendation is great!

Those are the ones! I can't speak for the other three decks, but the Factions & Locations option have been very helpful, for me.

More experienced Blades GMs may find them less useful, as they primarily rely on information already present in the core book.

Nonetheless, I found having relevant, thoughtfully grouped, and condensed information available on cards, to be a lot more convenient than loads of extra A4 sheets at the table.

I love this! Thank you for your input - the book is relatively dense so it's nice to have some of that brevity shared to other resources!

So true! There's loads of information packed into the core book. Breaking some of it out into card decks at the table saves a lot of page flipping, and makes that info easier to share between players too, if need be.
