Sphilia Fandoms: Fallen London | Echo Bazaar Just how far could one go with a character who was painfully pedestrian – who, however outré their surroundings, clung to the commonplace of Victorian society like a holy talisman? Could they reach the upper echelons of Neathy society without having achieved anything more adventurous than having an extra boiled egg with their breakfast? Well, there’s only one way to find out: by following the non-adventures of Doctor Taupe-Wainscot, the Pabulous Physician!

The player characters of Fallen London are a rum lot. Fruits of the Zee Festival (Fallen London). Feast of the Exceptional Rose (Fallen London).Seeking Mr Eaten's Name (Fallen London).A newer player might head straight for the delivery ports, when it's often much more practical to island-hop and take advantage of the normal ports of call along the way - "less haste, more speed" and all that.JustDiptych Fandoms: Fallen London | Echo Bazaar, Sunless Sea The key to my success was that I prioritised including Mr Sacks' deliveries into existing trade runs, so I was sure I could afford to make it to complete the deliveries and return. I can see how it could mess up a really new player, but the blue text warning seemed pretty blatant to me. So, even though I was actually quite ill-prepared for the adventure, I didn't run into too much difficulty.

I'd found most of the major trading ports I normally use, but had forgotten that the Khanate normally counts in other people's versions of that list. ), and going through the Magician's quest to obtain the serpentine. I was actually working towards the Avid Suppressor for my corvette at the time (after which I promptly discovered that the corvette doesn't actually have an aft slot.
