Question:
1. How many fears in total do I pick: 1 primal and 3 basic correct?

2. Do you think it’s cheating if I ‘skip’ over the first part before getting into the mansion? I mean, I don’t read the reference because I’ve read them before, I just skip from one number to the next. Online, it takes seconds as I just click but in a pdf I need to scroll through the text to find the reference.

I’d like to know how you think it should be handled. If I skip, I’d take the same route, add the same amount of fear, and get the same object. It’s streamlining the whole thing.

On the other hand, starting from the beginning might be the way you intended it to be. I don’t cheat and I want to get through it the legit way.

Looking forward to your take on it.

Sorry!

For some reason I never saw your posts until just recently.

You pick 3 normal phobias and 1 primal fear.

If you want to 'cheat', go ahead! I'm just glad someone is taking the time to play them. If you think you know the start well then keep items you would have taken and reduce any stats you think you would have to.

Just found this old deleted reference that I don't think I've ver posted before:

Just as you are stepping over to the window a figure you hadn't noticed before walks out from the shadows nearby. From the neck down she looks like a young well-dressed woman, at least as far as you can tell in this gloom. From above the neck she is an atrocity. Her entire face has been cut off, right down to the muscle and bone. Yet, as far as you can tell she still smiles at you, sending trickles of blood pouring down her chin onto her dress. Taking a step back so as to not be too close to this thing, she speaks to you.

'Before all this,' she points at her ruined face, 'I used to be quite beautiful, but then I glimpsed what lies waiting beyond it and realised my own imperfections.' She brings out a concealed dagger, 'So I did this to myself.' The dagger is still dripping blood.

With tears in your eyes you ask her what could make her do such a thing to herself.

She smiles again as more blood drips from her face and falls onto her shoes. Indeed, for the first time you realise just how bloody she is. "The Gate," she says simply. Then she raises the dagger and slashes at her neck before you can stop her. Her body slumps to the ground at peace at last.

What lies waiting beyond? She's actually looked through the Gate itself?
