That's good to know, thanks for confirming! Personally, I don't find it very useful for the Railway, but I have very high Persuasive and I'd rather have a 5% failure probability than miss out on the...

I, for one, said the portable fingerking moot for the 100% guarantee to convince Contrarian for railroad meetings. Items also nice for stats, but I didn't suggest it for stats!

If it helps, here's the JavaScript file with the data underlying my story finder. It's not 100% regular (I use different fields & formats for single-author vs multi-author because I haven't gotten...

This is perfect. I know I could look them up on the wiki, but having the lookup table already built is nice. Since you put all the data into nice spreadsheets, it makes me want to download it and do...

Thanks that makes more sense now that I think about it I wasn’t a big fan of the other “location” stories you mentioned either. I will say I agree the web of the motherlings has some merits to it, out...

Just now realizing how much of James Chew fan I am. So many great stories lately!I just binged a bunch of backlogged ESes because I'm trying to get July for my railway, and it was a welcome break from...

In retrospect I don't think I've ever passed the coin flip at the end. I mostly just used it to make her a yes ma'am at board meetings

I played Noises from Upstairs to get the companion for Hallowmas. Overall I liked it (especially the view of the alternate history with Revolutionary Brittan). My only complaint is that the story ended...

For those who are jonesing for more Chandler Groover, he's got an insane, Fallen-London-esque game in which you start in a medieval castle where everything is made out of food, and you have to eat…...

Glad to see Fine Dining get the bewildered disagreement it deserves. It definitely suffers from only being played once; I feel like it would be more widely liked it it could freely be played a second...

Chandler (and Tuffs to a lesser extent) carry some level of name brand recognition at this point with their ESs. For better or worse people are going to view their stories through that lens and it...

Absolutely. I laughed out loud several times reading it.

I think the sharp writing helped cover some of the flaws in Caveat. I particularly liked the line where you go to the bookstore and browse the stories filled with "monstrous monsters and redundant...

I'm surprised "Caveat Emptor" did that well. It struct me is pretty controversial in the discussion thread here. In my opinion it was decent writing and a clunky mechanic saved by a strong climax. Come...

I'm buffled about the Jack-of-Smiles myself. The lore content you get when becoming Jack is absolutely not worth fate, and it can stall the story progress for days. And the get-out-of-Polythreme...

I've mentioned this before, but I think there's an unspoken assumption within the Fallen London community that I suspect has impacted Failbetter's narrative forming as well: about 2/3 of player...

This is how I handle it too. Even though I play all the stories on my main, in my head canon she's only "really" done a handful of them. And some of the qualities and rewards from them she's gotten...

Fading to a Coda was actually one of the recent stories that I really specifically didn't like. I wouldn't describe myself as a very RP-forward player, but one of the, like, two traits that my...

I haven't played the story so I can't speak for the writing in it, but among other places, the lacre sea at Hallowmas explains a bit more about the stone pigs
