Should I toss my Mandrake into the dark? It's a pretty desperate situation but I've grown attached to the little guy.

Edit: Nevermind. 20% success was enough for me apparently. You get to stick with me Burt.

So regarding the August story... Of course the shamble-man did it. Why would the New Sequence need to kill the Admiral? I feel pretty silly now.

Yes, but on the other hand I don't actually care that the Admiral is dead or who killed him, and neither should you. gently caress the Sequencers and gently caress the Dawn Machine.

While I can agree with that it's not like the Admiral was a New Sequencer either. He just wanted the club to stay neutral. I should have stayed neutral and let the sea take its own justice.

Oh well, live and learn.

In regards to uncovering secrets framed in gold...Should I make the Forger go to the very end? I feel like that's kind of crazy though and I don't really want to toss the Forger away. On the other hand..I must be sure! Not sure what I must be sure of but I am very certain that I need to be sure.

I personally spared the Forger, and the payouts are pretty good, but I'm told that riding this train to its Forger-destroying end is where all the juicy lore lives. There's also a Fate-based option to re-befriend the Forger as if SFiG never happened in New Newgate, if you want to throw some Fate at having your cake and eating it too.

I presume that her daughter just left to do her own thing / pursue her own life, presumably outside of the Game. The impression I get is that Alice wanted the "Cheesemonger" role to end and deliberately kept Catherine out of the Game to the extent she could.

If you decide to replace Alice you find out that her daughter is all too eager to take over that role so chances are if she escaped, she escaped to join the Game.

Are you sure that you want it, then? Hand clearing isn't a thing anymore, and the skulls generate 4 different common cards that are impossible to discard and do nothing but waste actions and cause stat reductions. So you might not want it until you're ready to start the Nadir discovery

That said, if you want it anyway, let me know and I'll send it over

If nobody else has taken this: send me a starveling stole and tell me whatever you desire for your own 10 Fate gift, and it will be sent. Make sure to use whatever account you want the gift in, as I'll be sending it to the account that sends me the stole. In fact, it might be best to PM me your name too, to ensure someone else doesn't snipe this, just to be safe.

This offer only good for Hypocrisy. If anyone else wants to trade Fate gifts, I am open to it, but notify me - please don't just send them hoping I'll reciprocate!

From the sounds of it...

Jenny's plan is and has always been twofold. First, to create a London better fit to service the poor and unwanted. Tied to this, however, is her greater concern - to remove the power of those that hold London in it's grasp. She blackmails the rich, entraps the powerful, and while at one point it seemed the Masters were backing her, she has removed them from her campaign entirely - whether it is for PR reasons or more, who can say, but either way, there are few more rich and powerful then they. Truly, a candidate after my character's own heart. I have yet to see the new lore for Jenny, so as far as I know, this is where it currently sits.

Being supported by the Masters at all, even if she's now rejecting their funds, is suspect.
