 		It seems the rubbery men and the stench of the dubious candles have got me. Does anyone know more of the issue between Mr Wines and Mr Spices?

Will certainly help where I can with a wiki, knowing what's available where would help me a great deal, I really can't retain it from one moment to the next.

 		There seems to be some issue with events that happened in Egypt to certain Masters. I have been warned against reminding them of it.

I'm pretty sure it has to do with dreams. Mr Spices is in the trade of Prisoner's Honey, which transports you to dreams, but Mr Wines claims to trade in dreams as well.

 		Well now, this looks intriguing. I was wondering what all of those tweets about Fallen London were all about! Too bad Twitter is blocked at work... Google phone, to the rescue!

 		I respectfully request that anyone getting one of those cards share the discussion with me (@agentlex). I'm trying to buy a shiny ring from Mr Stones, and I need a fair few Echoes to do it, and that's the most profitable use of an action for me Very Happy

 		Question... Am I correct that the primary way to earn Fate is to complete the orange boxed sub-quests? (see pic) Are there others?

Comments... There is a lot of wonderful content here, but also some annoying things. My two biggies are the 70 action/day or you get mired in the 27 minute wait. I know this is the revenue model, so I guess I can't bitch too hard, though I will say that $10 for 34 Fates = 30 actions seems steep to me. I can run through 30 actions in no time. (And how did they come up with that number?)

The other thing that sometimes bugs me is the Auto-fire cards. You know, the ones that play as soon as you click on them. There are times when that is a big issue, like when you are approaching that 70 limit. This is a soluble problem, thankfully. Here's a first cut at a list (not complete, I don't think) so you can avoid those cards. I'll spoiler it so that if you want to learn for yourself you can.

ETA: Lex

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Auto-Fire cards:

All of the dream cards... Advance the particular dream sequence.
An afternoon of good deeds. Perhaps unwittingly, you've spent quite a moral afternoon... Connected Church increase.
An anonymous tip-off. It's not signed. But the information inside might save you a lot of trouble.,, 1 x Hastily Scrawled Warning
An evening's drinking with some shady types. Chancy, but no-one's picked your pocket... 1 x Surprise Attack
A hearty meal. Fresh food from the surface is rare. Wounds -1
Official incompetence. A Constable is frantically chasing a spiralling mass of papers... 1 x Stolen Correspondence.
A devil's taken a shine to you... 1 x Token of Admiration

PM me and I'll update this, or add your own, please.

 		It looks like the different lodgings do have effects. Mine adds a bonus to my knife and candle defence.

Yeah, they added that yesterday, I think. Sub stories would be better, or Connecteds, but it's something. How do I get connected to Cthulhu? Err... Rubbery men?

 		Thanks to all that sent me Fourth City secrets - I managed to reach my 50 Echo goal quickly, so now I have to hope Mr Stones makes good on giving me that brass ring Very Happy

Pancito, you can add the "a devil's taken a shine to you" card as another that auto-activates:

It gives you +1 of the second chance persuasion items I forget the name of


As for fate, as far as I can tell the only four ways of getting it are:
  1. The orange miniquests
  2. Progress in your ambition
  3. Dream cards
  4. Cash-money
