Dis Postal Ministry* game tonight! 

Neither rain, nor sleet, nor dimensional raiders, nor transplanar reality warp shall prevent the completion of these appointed rounds.

When you open a package that doesn’t belong to you, roll +nothing.  On a 6-, choose one.  On a 7-9, choose two.  On a 10+, choose all but one.

    * the contents are valuable

    * the contents are useful

    * the contents are not broken

    * the contents are not dangerous

    * your tampering is not evident to anyone

* might not be the Dis Postal Ministry game, the job board will be stocked in that direction but we will play to find out!

The coin of Dis is a small soft metal token called the Favor.  Each such token is an embodiment of the Sultana’s goodwill. 

When you speak your need and sacrifice some Favors roll +1 for every full 100 Favors you sacrifice.  On a 6-, the Sultana becomes aware of your exploits but does not intervene.  On a 7-9, choose three.  On a 10+, choose all but one:

    * her intervention arrives in a timely fashion

    * your party will remain safe during the intervention

    * her intervention helps your party achieve its goal

    * you do not exhaust the Sultana’s goodwill

    * the sacrifice of Favors pays your debt to the Sultana in full

Planarch planning: I think our Dis job board will contain a lot of subcontracting jobs for the Sultana’s Postal Service. 

It’ll have fewer jobs for Lara Croft, but more for Phillip J. Fry.

Tonight I’m throwing together some random neighborhood maps for our upcoming Planar Codex game. 

You guys all know about Dave’s Mapper, right?  It is the shit.  Some very nice urban tile sets there right now!

I am spinning up some Planar Codex action for later on this week and I want lots of parishes on tap, so I made this Abulafia oracle.

A new Dark Heart of the Dreamer campaign is spooling up in my email!  First Bond suggested:  _______ is carrying my baby. 

This is gonna rock clock steady and hard as nails.

Read the Planarch Codex last night.  It’s probably old news to everyone but me, but Jonathan Walton deserves serious congratulations for it.  Every one of those tiny pages is a blasting cap for the imagination.

The first idea I derived from it: treat the home Steading as a Monsterhearts homeroom and populate it in the first session. 

“Why does the guy in this house keep to himself?” 

“Why did this shop burn down recently?” 

“What’s he building in there?”
