Re: Fallen London: Hello, Delicious Playgrounders
I am now "Attending to the Needs of a Singular Plant." Judging by the game's insistance that it's perfectly harmless, it will no doubt soon discover a taste for human flesh.
I never liked my neighbors, anyway.
In other news, what use is a Talkative Rattus Faber? When equipped, all my attributes become negative, everything is "almost impossible" (with a 0% chance of success), and my discription becomes merely "a gentleman." That's nice. I suppose I could feed him to the plant...

Re: Fallen London: Hello, Delicious Playgrounders
In the long run, I haven't found the plant to be worth it. (Avoid the luck-based Opportunity cards for it like the plague, I would say. Even odds of decreasing your plant quality.) But you'd probably find the story to be enjoyable the first time through.

Also, you get more change points in a stat for attempting more challenging tasks. If you're trying to level a stat, you'll be able to keep tasks difficult this way so that you level it faster.

Re: Fallen London: Hello, Delicious Playgrounders
Well, mine is a hell-plant, and the game doesn't give you the option to just kill and uproot the damn thing after learning what it is.

Re: Fallen London: Hello, Delicious Playgrounders
Hell is a problem, isn't it? Rest assured, there are plans in place.
By the way, is anybody interested in a cat-pass?Currently playing the Imperial Space Corps in Blood Bowl! We won't rest until everyone has Guard.

Re: Fallen London: Hello, Delicious Playgrounders
Sent it out to Eldan. Hmm, I suddenly have a nagging suspicion that I spelled "apprised" wrong.
I'll have to get a starveling of my own one day. But I've already got some impressive pets, so it's no worry. My current profession gives me a great dog.Last edited by Luzahn; 2014-02-14 at 05:59 PM.

Re: Fallen London: Hello, Delicious Playgrounders
By the by, for your amusement: I've been following the day-to-day activities of Doctor Taupe-Wainscot, the Most Boring Man in Fallen London. It's quite an amusing read. Here's his profile, should you wish to send him requests. A number of people are currently sending various Feast of the Extraordinary Rose gifts...that poor fellow.

Re: Fallen London: Hello, Delicious Playgrounders
That sounds like a bad idea. A terribly, irresistably, deliciously bad idea.
I'm thinking he's a buttered chess piece kind of guy.Last edited by Pseudo_Nym; 2014-02-14 at 11:41 PM.

Re: Fallen London: Hello, Delicious Playgrounders
Certainly not ordinary butter. I say, sir, I say. The very thought of it.
But there are creatures of the Neath that produce, as it were, a most respectable buttery-like substance...
Edit: Sent Eldan a cat. I assume he'll tell us if he ever tires of the things.Last edited by Pseudo_Nym; 2014-02-15 at 12:02 PM.

Re: Fallen London: Hello, Delicious Playgrounders
If Eldan tires of cats, we can also wait for the Square of Lofty Words cards to send him rats.
Also, I note that the Buttered Chess-Piece says "triply creamy zee-butter"...and I wonder what sort of butter that may be.Last edited by CarpeGuitarrem; 2014-02-15 at 04:18 PM.

Re: Fallen London: Hello, Delicious Playgrounders
Speaking of rats, I seem to have an infestation. They're in my lodgings, my lunches, and my dreams, and it's really quite the nuisance. No painless answer to that, is there?

I sent Mr Eaten a cat in the name of the playground.

Re: Fallen London: Hello, Delicious Playgrounders
I'm really taking a beating from these rats.
Technically, I'm taking a beating from my own senseless attempts to get rid of them, despite them causing far less harm than I'm causing myself. I'm paying large amounts of rostygold for the privilage of having my lodgings sprayed with large amounts of poison, giving me large amounts of wounds. And I'm still barely making progress. Not going to stop me, though.
What happened to the guy who sent Mr. Eaten a calling card? Do we need to worry about Eldan?Last edited by Pseudo_Nym; 2014-02-15 at 11:03 PM.

Re: Fallen London: Hello, Delicious Playgrounders
Well, what I heard happen is, you can choose to go someplace where you can fail leaving. And you can't have more than a certain amount of menaces to even try leaving. And the only way to lower those menaces is through Time, the Healer. I'd look up Mr Eaten's Calling Card for the juicy details.

Re: Fallen London: Hello, Delicious Playgrounders
As a quick sum-up, it was a chain of meta-events (and a glitch or two) which eventually led to a bit of a fiasco that suspended Seeking Mr. Eaten's Name until such time as they could rework it.

Re: Fallen London: Hello, Delicious Playgrounders
Man, that's really sad. Mr. Eaten was probably the most unique and fascinating experiment in that game, and it's unfortunate that people reacted so negatively to what you'd think was always going to be inherently experimental and risky content (and any new content is always rough and potentially glitchy, that's just how it works and one of the risks of racing ahead).

Re: Fallen London: Hello, Delicious Playgrounders
Does anybody know what the "The Neath's Mysteries" card actually does when someone is invited? I'm thinking it might be useful for a new player to receive, but I honestly have no idea.

Re: Fallen London: Hello, Delicious Playgrounders
What Went Wrong, What Came After
Rather depressing. I was looking forward to immense suffering and loss, and now it seems I've lost the opportunity. It will return, but 'it can't be exactly the same,' and 'it'll keep its fangs, but it'll have to be domesticated.' I'm not sure I like the sound of a domesticated Mr. Eaten...Last edited by Pseudo_Nym; 2014-02-16 at 11:06 AM.

They're planning on bringing SMEN (with a little less brutality, it seems) in a couple months or so, I think.

Re: Fallen London: Hello, Delicious Playgrounders
I'm scraping together some of my odd items to send some gifts, so be on the lookout for those. Hopefully I'll be able to manage one for most people.

I just found the Delicious Guide to Fallen London, would be a good link for the first post.
