EDIT: Sweet. Time to find out who put that dent in my new car.
EDIT2: Thanks for the gold! It will help cover the car repairs.
I was so salty
I'll see myself out.
Perhaps you’ve come in thinking: “I remember that game! I fed a vicar to my singing plant!” or maybe more likely: “A browser game that’s still going after ten years? What? How? Why?”
Fallen London is a text-based browser game set in a subterranean city inhabited by Victorian Londoners, talking rats, and people with the faces of squids. In the last decade, it’s grown from a handful of stories to a 2.5-million word epic with tens of thousands of monthly players. We think it might have been the first commercial RPG to include a third gender option, and shares a setting with Sunless Sea and Sunless Skies, which might be a bit better known on this subreddit!
We’d like to think that it’s remained popular for the kinds of stories we offer. Not just the weird, inventively horrifying world, but the fact that you get to act on fantastically bad ideas, from publishing horrendous poetry to feeding your soul to a cat.
We’re going to celebrate the birthday with a host of stories, events and activities, including the conclusions of the long running Ambition storylines, beginning this coming Tuesday.
We’re excited to take your questions about anything to do with Fallen London, storytelling at an immense scale, making games without crunch, indie game development, or any of our other areas of expertise!

Edit: Alright delicious friends, we're done for now. We'll try and pop back tomorrow and pick up any questions we missed! Thank you so much for all of your insightful questions, and we hope those of you who've been away will drop back in on the Neath when your Ambitions conclude! Cheers!
So I recently broke up with my boyfriend, whom I'd been with for four years. We actually had a really great and awesome relationship, but without going into too much detail, I started to feel trapped in the relationship.
But he'd been my rock for four years, and was really good at telling me how beautiful he thought I was. So when we broke up, I was really scared that I would have a hard time thinking of myself that way.
However, this morning, after taking a shower, I looked in the mirror and felt like I *really* saw myself for the first time in a very long time. And I felt beautiful :)
I think the fact that I took my feelings seriously, lifted a burden off my shoulders, which ultimately also made me able to think of myself as beautiful <3
A term I’ve seen arise a couple times over the course of several events is “Mirror sea” (at least I hope that’s what it was called).
The event is usually not one based on history - such as the Bismarck event or Divergent Chessboard - but ones involving more direct siren engagement or miscellaneous stories (I.e. Neptunia collaboration or Visitors Dyed in Red). What are the characters referring to when saying that? I’m assuming it’s a label for the simulations the siren’s run when trying to awaken a warship?
Heard it twice today and once on this sub. Fat Body Revolution coming. I'll see y'all at the gym.
Like no joke, I go there and I start talking in the mirror like I'm a youtuber, I present a topic, create several images of people with different opinions, change my voice when I'm talking like another person, roast that person (myself) and then laugh at how funny and cool that roast was.
TL;DR : I'm retarded
The kiss of a mermaid gave me one sweet breath of life, but once she saw my feet so trapped, all she could do is sadly wave as she swam away.
