I know it’s been around a while, but I’ve just started playing Fallen London and I’m having fun exploring and working through various stories. And spending a lot of time fishing right now, trying to take advantage of the zee-festival before it ends.

It seems like there are a lot of potential advantages to having in-game acquaintances, such as trading gifts or reducing wounds/nightmares. Are there any active players here? My Fallen London name is the same as my Doper name.

I used to play ages ago quite a lot, then I got to be a VIP and suddenly vast terrifying vistas of endless grind opened before me. Enjoyed the game quite a bit before that though - there’s far too few games where your reward is words. So, have fun - I certainly did. 🙂
