Camilla: You, sir, should unmask.
Stranger: Indeed?
Cassilda: Indeed, it's time. We all have laid aside disguise but you.
Stranger: I wear no mask.
Camilla: (Terrified, aside to Cassilda.) No mask? No mask!

Commemoration of All Souls
somewhere on a train

My dear friends,


Today is the Commemoration of All Souls. This is a day we Catholics keep in remembrance for our beloved dead, and when we especially pray for the souls in Purgatory. In some Latin American countries, it has become a quasi-civil holiday you may know as the Day of the Dead.

On this day, I ask you to keep in your prayers the soul of India Escobar.

I know many of you don't keep quite the same theology (or even religion, come to that) as we do, but it would mean a lot to me (and to her) if you spent some time commending her to the Divine.

Thank you.

Dearest Friends,

Again, thank you so much for your generous response to our need. Although we are still a little short in paying off Tristan's legal bills, I think you have endured enough badgering! There will be no more tin cup rattles after this.

Please, if you're on the fence, consider making a donation. Any amount will help.

In addition to previous offers, the charming amphigori is "prepared to offer the next-highest person who donates a personalized piece of pen and ink line art. If it's one of your players I am happy for it to be a personalised picture of their character."

Consideration for these thank you gifts will be given to all those who donate by FRIDAY.

Again, thank you and may God bless you.

Thank you to all who have helped us with Tristan's legal bills. Your generosity has touched me deeply. We're nearly there - one big last push should do.

Entries passim will get you up to speed regarding the need, and at least one incentive.

Please help if you can. Spare change would be fine. See if you've got some pennies under your sofa cushions.

I promise, dear friends, that this will come to an end soon.

Please help if you can. Spare change would be fine.

Good morning!

Between the attorney and bail, we have sunk some $10,000 into this so far, and the end is near. The final bill due to Tristan's attorney is $2500.

We're fairly well broke, and we're asking for your help. Won't you please donate to the fund? Any amount will help.

As an added incentive, the largest single donor will receive a special thank-you:

a signed, first edition hardcover of The King in Yellow from my personal library, with a beautifully sculpted eldritch cover created by the talented (and slightly mad) Jason Soles.

The book was a gift to me, and it pains me to part with it, but I'm sure it will go to a good home.

Thank you to those who have so far donated - we are grateful for your support in these trying days.

Pursuant to this entry, I'm posting the photos of the signed, first edition hardcover of The King in Yellow, with a beautifully sculpted eldritch cover created by the talented (and slightly mad) Jason Soles which I shall be giving as a thank you to the single largest donor.

Well, my friends, last night I received the final bill from Tristan's attorney.

He very graciously offered to continue to represent Tristan through the upcoming restitution hearing gratis, but we need to come up with $2500 to close out the account.

To put that in a little bit of perspective, I'm reliably informed that I could buy four round-trip air tickets Seattle to London for the same amount.

I'm asking for your help. Won't you please donate to the fund?

Former Cruenti Dei players might want peek here...

Oh... anybody have a copy of the Priban Campaign Guide?

(... and therefore I believe the President and Vice President of the United States must be impeached.)

Does anybody out there have a copy of the last full rule book for Cruenti Dei that I could borrow have?

(And I'm not asking about that CD: Kaldor disaster that was totally derailed by a pair of funerals last summer.)

I ask for no particular reason. I am almost certainly not going to start up a new campaign in the near future on the continent of Sahûl during the early renaissance in the Second Empire period.

Nope. Not me.

But if you've got a copy I could have, it would be extremely helpful, and I'd be grateful.

Startup and five Turns grateful.

Thanks.
