Friday Afternoon Tea is a geeky, family-owned tea company based in Seattle, USA. Owner Friday Elliott’s unique take on tea blending stems from a neurological cross-wiring known as Lexical-Gustatory Synesthesia: she experiences language (both spoken and written) and abstract concepts as distinct flavour profiles. In short, she literally tastes words and ideas. I’ve longed to create a tea blend for Fallen London, and as soon as I heard about her work, I was struck with a very compelling desire to know what the Neath would taste like when filtered through her remarkable talent. I’m delighted to share that after discussing and playing our games, she’s come up with something wonderfully apropos.
Love & Murder is a deep, delectable draught with a perfect balance of heady floral and dank earthy notes. The blend features puer aged tea, reishi mushroom, rose petal, linden flower and roasted dandelion root.
It’s just the thing to brew up for a long evening in with Mask of the Rose. I hope you’ll give it a try, and I’d like to thank my colleagues and the members of the community who were able to taste test it with us at our last live event!
…which is probably very few of my followers but hey that’s how it goes. Anyway, I made a picrew for making custom Curators and I’m very excited about it! :0
I do intend to add more stuff to it later but it took so much effort to just do this much, I just wanted to get it done XP
Feel free to send me suggestions for it though, even if they’ll take a while! (Also if there’s any art errors, let me know about that also please.)
Here’s my own Curator OC I made using this, Mr. Keys (who’s based on a Townsend’s Big Eared Bat):
So yeah! Reblog this or tag me with the Curators you make, I wanna see ‘em! :3
Curators are a species made by @failbettergames and featured in their browser game Fallen London, (which I highly recommend,) as well as two of their other games in the same universe, Sunless Seas and Sunless Skies. They are kind of hidden and secret though so if you don’t know them this is technically kind of a spoiler, sorry XP
Hello, I'm a huge fan of Sunless Seas and Skies, and the setting as a whole. I was curious if there was anything like a Tabletop role-playing system for the setting out there, either as a custom game or a variant of an already released system?
At the moment there’s only Skyfarer, but it’s cute
The Clockwork Sun and the Dawn Machine are gay. Good for them!
Mask of the Rose is coming out this April for PC/Mac/Linux and Nintendo Switch, and we are beginning the celebrations now!
As a Feast of the Rose gift for you all, we’ve commissioned fibre artist and games enthusiast The Pigeon’s Nest to create a crochet pattern for your favourite verbacient Master of the Bazaar, Mr Pages!
Down the years we’ve often been asked for plushies of our characters, and we have finally found this lovely solution to offer people which doesn’t have the same kind of negative environmental impact as your average plush toy. The Pigeon’s Nest (aka Bex) is an independent crochet artist who creates patterns, crochet kits and crocheted items, as well as courses for learning to crochet and all manner else besides. We’re so delighted with her design for Mr Pages!
If you make a little Mr Pages, please do share it with us! We’d love to see where they end up.
WIN a crochet Mr Pages
As if that’s not enough, we have a complete Mr Pages for one lucky competition winner to claim!
Simply pop into our Discord or community forums and let us know which Mask of the Rose character you’re most looking forward to spending time with.
The competition runs from today, the 9th of February, until Friday the 24th at 1400 GMT, and the winner will be drawn by random number generator the following week.
