The letter is written in whispy delicate script and reads as follows:

My old friend,

It is a long time since I last stood here. A place between worlds, built from
Shadow and Light. Last I met you here in the winter of 1929. Now all I can say
is things have changed, not for the better, but I fear for good. I have
written to Solomon, hoping that once again he can share his wisdom with me, I
have had no reply. So with a heavy heart I send this to you. You promised to
aid me, now I ask that you repay that favour. You are welcome to my house at
precisely 2pm on Sunday 30th August. You will find it as it always was.

A.

On the back of the Envelope there is a small label with an Edgbaston address.

So if your free and want to come along and play a fun game, we’ll try our best
to provsion.

This game is NON-sanctioned. It will be the 4th game I’ve written ST reports
for, but the cordiating side of things has stopped us getting sanctioned so
far. Alice is going to solve this mighty problem.

(To be fair, problems with me getting around to writting everything up, and
not being too bothered with getting sanctioned until we are ready has delayed
things.)

Alice will be trying to work out when the best time to run the game is so the
most people that want to can play.

Finally. Even though this game is NOT SANCTIONED, I will allow existing
characters to come along. XP would have to be awarded as per downtime XP from
your ST, and you’d need their permission. We are using the IoD rules.

Basically I need the ability to be in more than one place at a time,  running mage for 10+ players in the way I want to,  can’t be done on my own.  So I need some helpers.   NPCs,   people able to run a few scenes,  full blow assitant so I can have a day off one day in the future may be?

Planned for Scruffy Murphies,  at 2pm.

Please send in Downtimes to Dan@bynight.org.uk but remember,   since your only just coming back to the world after a long time,  this months downtime XP will be awarded for a short description of how you think the world might have reacted to your characters absence!

This game,  at Scruphy Murphies,  was well attended,   it went pretty well,  but as time became shorter and with just me running things,  as things got more rushed I noticed that things became more and more linear.   Not too sure what to do about that in the future.

So…  is it the real,  fake,  fake,  real world?  Or the fake real fake world….    Can you start again?  I’m confused?   

Hey at least I got the mages thinking about if they were real or not….
