I Do Love The Unsleeping City But The Grit In The Oyster For Me Is The Umbral Arcana - Because What Exactly

I do love the Unsleeping City but the grit in the oyster for me is the umbral arcana - because what exactly is the governing principle behind what it does and doesn't hide?

So in @merelyroleplayers: Vigil I did my own version called the omission effect, which

a) doesn't stop anyone seeing anything, just makes you incapable of transferring certain events, beings and phenomena from short- to long-term memory

b) was recently revealed as being governed by a repressed Regency-era lady, who sits in a dead end dimension reading transcripts of reality written by abducted and brainwashed clairvoyant stenographers and censoring anything she considers improper

The business shaman's business suit without a single flaw

His PHD in business ghosts, as well as business law

See him hunt for business seeds oer hill and business dale

Licking ash from cigarettes like business oyster shells

Beneath the burning business stars, he dreams of business things,

of wise and elder business ghosts, of ancient business kings.

So hail the business shaman! May your business berries fruit!

May never loss of profit stain your flawless business suit

We technically only played half this game (you're supposed to write 24 lines, we wrote 12), and that's the only reason none of the original band members got pissed off enough to flip the table, smash the bass and leave the band – at least 2 of us were right on the edge at the end there

This'd be a fun one to play on stream some time!

And that's it for the microgames! Back to the main Monster of the Week campaign next time.

Now playing in the (recording) Studio

It’s only going to take one song to get everyone to stand up and take notice, and then your career will open wide in front of you. You all work so perfectly together. How hard can it be?

This season, we're playing a selection of individual micro-roleplaying games from The Ultimate Micro-RPG Book, edited by James D'Amato!
