I don't mind taking you on if you wanted Persuasive, but that's generally considered one of the easier stats to level: http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Aleth For the new monthly story did anyone keep the clay arm? I was intrigued but felt the alternative fit my character better.

Reminder that there's less than a week left on the Sunless Skies kickstarter. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/failbetter/sunless-skies-the-sequel-to-sunless-sea/ Also, they're really close to giving us a new hat in FL, just one social goal away.

Because you're pretty sure it drew that moustache on itself with a pen.  That's if they get 8 more social goals in the next week, so it probably won't happen. But goodness, do I want it to.

Yeah, that would take a ton of new people following them on social media and churning out fanart in addition to pledging.

I'm at 40 Criminal Renown, so I decide it's time to bop off to New Newgate for the renown item. Since I don't care to increase my criminal record any further, I decide to simply level my Casing and try and fail a Brass Embassy robbery. It'll tank my Connected: Hell, but I never liked the Devils too much anyways except as marks to outwit or chumps to thump. (Except for the Quiet Deviless, who at least seems to have a conscience about the whole thing). I've managed to succeed at five 60% chance Brass Embassy robberies so far

super sweet best pal posted:Reminder that there's less than a week left on the Sunless Skies kickstarter. My personal hope is that they'll pull 330K pounds from the kickstarter, which is their entire stated budget. I really like the idea that they could start on this game with zero financial risk, all entirely paid for at the start, and that all sales upon release would be profit. It looks like we'll end close to that, my guess is 300-310K pounds or so.

Barring some huge surge for whatever reason, I'm betting on ~300k pounds and 9k backers. Shame we apparently won't get the final stretch goal/Royal Society chapter.

Started playing again on the mobile app, some weeks ago. Now I'm back in the university and have a bookcase from riding my ship to some islands in the unter zee. And while selling stuff I made enough money to buy one of the 400 Echo hats or The smock of "way to many pockets" Or A nice pair of salivating gloves (My character is watchful based) I kind of like getting the tub of gloam foam over the frock because I just got a cloths colony from Polythreme. The other tought I had is, if I should get the semiotic monocle first because I seem to remember it has some uses other than wearing it. And on another note, I thought about becoming an exceptional friend. Just a quick question: generally speaking what can you do in the house of chimes? Cheers my fellow neath dwelling citizens!

monthly stories (wonder if there's gonna be any more non-premium content ever??) and some gambling. it's literally just an area used for a couple of quick stories and the monthly exceptional friend ones. mind you, the gambling (as a POSI) is one of the better ways of grinding echoes, if you don't mind the odd point of suspicion.

If you're a PoSI, you should prioritize getting items that will raise your BDR as much as possible. That's going to be much more useful to you in the long run than the other stat bumps, nice as they are when you're still low level. Out of what you have listed there, I'd go for the Lenguals. They're the best gloves available currently and the only ones that give you a point of BDR. The Semiotic Monocle is very nice at Christmas, but you can wait awhile to get it, as was mentioned before.

I've found my way into the Labyrinth of Tigers after capturing a goat demon. Do I want to be there? There's some dangerous stuff to do but it mostly gets me deeper in. Hunting Dangerous Beasts on the surface earns up to 20 echos per capture and gets me a few points of dangerous each time. I don't want to either leave and have to work my way back down, or stay there for nothing much.

DOWN JACKET FETISH posted:(wonder if there's gonna be any more non-premium content ever??) When and what were the last few non-premium things? They've been so few and far between it's hard to remember. Part of why I was excited for the monthly subscriber stories was the massive drop in content since they started doing other projects besides FL. Harik posted:I've found my way into the Labyrinth of Tigers after capturing a goat demon. The level of the labyrinth you're in gets saved when you go back to a different part of the city, which is a good thing since the fourth level requires visits to places outside the labyrinth.

What about the other half of the question: Do I want to be there? I need to up my watchful to get much farther in than coil 4, I'm down to minuscule chances of actually finding the next level.

Harik posted:That's cool at least. I haven’t completed the Labyrinth myself yet, but there’s lots of entertaining weirdness going on in there, and a good slice of lore that unlocks gradually as you build up Making Progress in the Labyrinth of Tigers. A lot of storylets only become visible at a highish Making Progress, though, giving the inner coils an oddly empty feel to start with. Have you spoken to the Tiger Keeper? He’s needed to progress the main storyline, but he’s elusive and you’ll need to go through a few intermediaries, who will appear in the First Coil (I think) as you build up The Hunt is On!, needing more ThiO each time to find the next person. You can only speak to the Tiger Keeper himself with a Dangerous of 104 or more, otherwise his room will be empty.

Prioritising the ability to have at least one point of BDR in every slot is good advice. And there's now a free BDR hat from Sunless Skies social goals - all you have to do is click a button:  Not so great if you just blew 400 echoes on something only slightly better.

Lodgings have different ways to raise your Making Waves stat and they're the main source of certifiable scraps. The steamer also provides tiny amounts of Great Game reputation, which is good because Great Game is kind of rare later on. xiansi posted:Prioritising the ability to have at least one point of BDR in every slot is good advice. The desire for best in slot makes paupers of us all. Especially those who want to own goats.

I also joined the young stags and made a newspaper and suddenly found myself in reach for getting noteability up and maybe becoming a midnighter. Anyone up for some dinners? And are there better ways for grinding making waves, other than the palace (with life of the mind)?

I turned her in to the Constables, because I didn't want to kill everyone in Naples and risk London for "theoretical" protection from the Judgments. Also I suspect my mirrorfriends wouldn't have been happy with that part either. But I liked her enough to want her alive and didn't want to destroy her research either. Also, the Sunless Skies kickstarter is close enough to its last few goals we might actually get those blemmigans. (We're definitely getting a new piece of Masters lore, so that's exciting.)

Couldn't take the option you did for reasons Hypocrisy and Otherkinsey noted, and of the two remaining options, it seemed appropriate to do the same thing I did with the Persona Engine. Also excited for Masters lore, and hoping for Blemmigans. Also hoping they make that last stretch goal now that they've revealed it!

Who cares about Naples when you can have the entire High Wilderness? Unless I totally misunderstood, the endgame of her plan wasn't just returning to the Surface, it was buggering off the planet altogether as a potential start to Sunless Skies.

What did Naples ever do for the Neath? Also yeah, I kept the Persona Engine running as although I'm highly enmeshed with the Devils I'm still a progressive Londoner at heart and will happily embrace new technologies to see her prosper.

Hope you're all enjoying your hat! I'm pretty optimistic that we'll make enough social goals for the Blemmigans. If you're interested in pitching in, you could come and watch the final stream of the campaign between 1600 and 1900 GMT on Friday, at twitch.tv/failbettergames. We're trying to reach 500 viewers and by then I think that might be the only goal before victory.
