#london (fallen london)

[hazardouslibrarian]

me: why is nobody complimenting me on my outfit

the chemically preserved head of a giant bat that i keep on my desk: PERHAPS IF YOU WORE SOMETHING THAT MATCHED YOUR SHIRT BETTER YOU WOULD GET MORE COMPLIMENTS. AUTUMN COLORS ARE MORE YOUR STYLE

[bizarrebazaar13]

does anyone know where I can find good reference images of victorian-era wheelchairs? I want to draw the jovial contrarian but all the wheelchair art refs/tutorials I can find are for modern wheelchairs

[werefeathers]

if you like all three you must really enjoy reading

(if you already like two of these games, you'll like the other! more on that here.)

[honeymongering]

This is such a gentle suggestion.

Perhaps I would like to purchase a fish.

In an egregious oversight, the Citizen button should read Citizen / Comrade.

the opera was great, thanks for asking

on the subject of explaining fallen london:

this image seems relevant.

[superoffbatter]

fallen london is funny because it leads to the wildest phrases ever. things I have said or heard said in fallen london discord (mainly bone market) conversations:

amphibians are basically an ape with a multiplier

i'm six birds away from a worm

it's better then grinding orphans nowadays, at the very least

Even with 4 milkings per day that's still less than 1 oil per week. meanwhile, we'll probably average at over 2 Popes per week

Im gonna probably try to breed him into the owl

the bees aren't consenting

having arms is generally kind of bad yes, there's a lot of incentives against using them

All in all, very good if somewhat card-dependent. The Pope's still got it!

I just don't love how when I'm doing my weekly firing of the tentacled entrepeneur she gets a little racist about it

Some rivers snake, this one IS snakes

i need to get more poop for my railway

I want to conflagrate a bunch first cause I heard that helps

We are giddy to announce that we are working with tabletop roleplaying legends Magpie Games to create Fallen London: The Roleplaying Game, a fully-fledged, custom tabletop roleplaying system for Fallen London, in a big book and everything!

In Fallen London: the Roleplaying Game, players create their own characters by drawing on the factions, archetypes, and settings of the city — cutthroats, socialites, radicals, academics, and other, stranger creatures. They are brought together by a shared ambition; a very nearly unachievable goal. Such ambitions may destroy or drive mad those who pursue them… or they may change London forever. The Heart, as they say, is Destiny’s engine.

Fallen London: The Roleplaying Game is slated for release in late 2025 along with a supplement, Fallen London: Secrets of the Neath. In addition, players will be able to complete their tools for gameplay with the Fallen London Dice Pack and Fallen London Gamemaster Screen. Gameplay will consist of proprietary game mechanics currently in development by Magpie Games. We're going to introduce the project in full on August 23rd at 16:00 EDT/21:00 BST in a live stream, hosted by friend, scholar, journalist, streamer and Doctor of the Internet Kat Brewster on their Twitch channel! [PLEASE NOTE: Dear friend Johnny Chiodini has had to drop out at the last minute so utter hero Kat is picking up the host mantle and therefore the location of the Q&A has changed, go to that link instead!]

Guests will include Mark Diaz Truman and Brendan Conway from Magpie, and Fallen London creative lead Bruno Dias and me, Hannah, the one who sends the emails.

Fallen London is turning 15 in 2025 and this is our big anniversary project. We wouldn't have got here without you; we hope that this is a suitable anniversary present.

Welcome, delicious friend.

I love this game. It kept me going through my dissertation and I had so much fun making this. Please show these guys some love.

hey don't cry. even Hell itself contains soup

[gmalaart]

ngl the new King Charles portrait looks like something that would raise nightmares in Fallen London

[starryeyed-seer]

Mask of the Rose truly a game of all time

[maddesthattington]

I love the Dawn Machine, and not just because I stared at it for so long it took over my brain and turned me into its ever-obedient pawn.
