Claude is the face of our "cult". He maintains our meeting-space, ritual supplies, library and the well of eyes. He is open and calm while not working but all serious when the lights are on him.
@clweeks Completely off topic, but I just read The Witch playbook, and I absolutely adore it.
Neat! To the best of my knowledge no one has ever played it and I think most people feel like the rituals are a cumbersome mechanic. But it was a fun l…
I like the idea that various members of the guild treat the cult differently. Like, it's a real cult but some of us just roll our eyes and go along with things but others of us are True Believers.

Una is a cold and beautiful woman. She alway…
There are four votes for smugglers unless it's higher because I missed one. Rich, are you nixing cult as a cover, too? (I'm not try to push into uncomfortable space, just wanting to see where we are.)
Chris is tolerant! I only called it out to make sure you knew we got it.
I'd give top vote to grotto because it's good for both our real operation (smuggling) an also our cover (cult). But I feel quite weakly about it -- tower and barge are bot…
I'm least interested in a gang of thugs.
How do we want to do this? Talk it out, come to a consensus? Or just take turns asserting one thing that has to be decided (cover type, lair, talent+name+look)
Holy shit! I just got myself put in a block-less-of-the-internet group at work and pictures have appeared in all kinds of places that I never knew I wasn't seeing them. (Unless you all just added pictures to your characters in the last 16 hours...)
I'm actually not sure I understand what you're calling stress. I do imagine that these criminals we're playing aren't unadulterated evil, just predators.
I'm thinking something like the following (though I can be flexible):
Ring the Cunning, from Akoros. A local man; lean, scarred and grey.
Cutter ()
Slide (Culture)
Whisper ()
Lurk ()
Spider (Education, Tinker)
Leech (Alchemy, Appraisal, Rituals)
…
I'm OK with that too. But hiatus implies we'll be back and I think that's pretty unlikely. So as long as that's still OK, then sure -- I'm good to try new games.
"Why's that, Hood? What you have against Muzak? You know he keeps us safe."
I'll set Shuttlebus down on Hottopic's table if it's obvious where he should go, or just on the largest clear surface if not.
"OK, this guy isn't using his body very eff…
I'll walk around, searching for people who're obviously unhappy or maybe too stoned to resist. I'm looking for a man, not a woman. If I find someone depressed, I'll ask him "Do you want to be the most important person ever? Do you want to save th…
At some point I clue in that the equipment isn't needed and so I just go to get a person for Muzak. I'll start by heading to the Food Court, there are always shiftless fuckers there. Though in the back of my head, I keep thinking about that baby.
