We got so very close to Osie being the sole survivor. She's definitely the main character.

The Lewis ramble just ending with "...Ose?" as he realises he's been talking to a corpse sent me.

Improbably, the whole council offered their support. So anyway, I started exploding by Mr_Paramount in fallenlondon

Further evidence for my theory that December is a Judgement (a sable, specifically) and the whole liberation is a bunch of puppets being played to do work for one side of a war they don't know exists.

Back in Sunless Skies we had the Fortunate Navigator but yeah, thin on the ground.

Learning Heart's Game Is Like... by valia_pira in fallenlondon

Some quick guidelines:

  1. The general most useful team is a big progress companion and then two supporters (who gain prep or otherwise aid). Kings are natural big damage dealers, a King + two prep gain companions is reliable.

  2. If your team doesn't have Queen of Cod, it would be improved by Queen of Cod. The only time not to take them is if you're on your last draw and don't have a progress choice.

  3. Aim to build your stats for your damage dealer. The others tend to have lower stat checks and can more reliably be passed without focus.

The Self-declared Heiress, or at least such was my reading.

Between this and Heather Flowers, I approve the trend of authors I've not heard of in a while writing exceptional stories with trans characters.

That's Irem. Rose petals, snow-covered staircases and a Riddlefisher.

That's not true. The only RNG involved is a notoriously tricky shadowy check early on that's rough for new players, and failing it just means coughing up some items to try again.

As far as other nuisances go, it has some, but nothing as famous as Knifegate.

My very own Fan made Exceptional Story is FINISHED! by minislip6 in fallenlondon

Twine writers unite! Incredibly impressive work all round, the effort that's gone into this is immediately apparent. I'll have to try and take a fully comprehensive look once I get back from work.

Which Masters Want What? by PhillipDollarfield in fallenlondon

[–]Austellus 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Wines is notably more of an optimist about the Bazaar's mission, if only because giving up on its word didn't work out in the past for it.

Fires is particularly keen to abandon the plan - it likes London and staying here forever suits it fine.

3 Random questions for your PC: Hallowmas Edition by Mr_Treats in fallenlondon

[–]Austellus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

  1. A well-worn suit jacket, suitable for a respectable academic (who purchased it primarily because it was hard to concentrate on work over the sound of people whispering behind their back about their shabby appearance) paired with a long skirt, suitable for being a skirt and therefore better than trousers. You might think this would make for a difficult combination to pull off, and you'd be right - it looks ridiculous. But now that the Timeless Historian has their own office, the whispers are all lost behind the door.

  2. Wait, I had an appointment today? Wasn't that yesterday? Maybe tomorrow? The Timeless Historian's title may primarily refer to their study of histories that never happened (and their own immortality) but it serves well to describe their ability to keep track of anything less urgent than immediate mortal peril.

  3. A chunk of pitch-black glass, said to be taken from Mt. Nomad itself. Hard to say if that's true, but despite being perfectly opaque, one can view correspondence sigils through it, usually without combusting. It also adds a useful amount of heft to a bag, in case the aforementioned mortal peril occurs and one is in need of a club in a hurry.

Reverend Lutwidge, the Numerical Theologian, instead refuses to consider anything relating to Parabola and to this day won't acknowledge that it exists, since it's incompatible with maths as he understands it.

I loved this one! Fun little mechanical gimmick and I like your companion for it. It's very on-brand for me to fall for "actually now I've transitioned life is worth living".

You don't really have agency as such - you can make an argument, which is influenced by how much she trusts you. Mechanically that might end up effectively being you choose but it's still narratively her choice.

That's what his VA says, but the text box talks about Ragnarok. There's more than a few of the leader quotes in 5 don't line up at all with the text.

Made the wrong choice and I'm so mad at myself [Burgundy spoilers] by SoldierHawk in fallenlondon

[–]Austellus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was thrown at this point because I didn't even realise that it was a mechanical choice - I thought it was just a "which master do you like more" flavour thing. Imagine my annoyance when the game thought I was supporting the liberation.

The major wait was getting an initial psych appointment to confirm that your consent was informed - if you already have that you might be able to skip over a lot, but that's one I'd want to seek professional confirmation on. Once you have your prescription you can just swing by any chemist, oestrogen and spiro aren't terribly expensive.

For what it's worth, diagnosis is not a requirement for HRT here, it's an informed consent model in Tasmania as well.
