A Parade of Horribles
[SYSTEM MESSAGE: MANDATORY DUNGEON ANNOUNCEMENT]
A Parade of Horribles is out today. Book 8. It exists now. It is in the world. You can have it right now if you make one single decision in the correct direction and the System is going to need you to make that decision immediately.
Go get it. Read it. Listen to it. Jeff Hays is going to do things to your ears that are not entirely legal in several Syndicate jurisdictions and you are going to be grateful for every second of it. Clear your schedule. Tell your party members you are unavailable. Tell your employer you have a dungeon obligation. Tell your family the System said so. The System will back you up on this.
Now. The rules. They are short. They are non-negotiable. They are enforced by me personally and I have significantly more power than a moderator and significantly less patience than one. Trust me, Jenny is far more patient than I could ever hope to be.
No spoilers. Not here. Not in the comments. Not in a DM to someone who did not ask. Not as a joke. Not as a vague cryptic comment designed to make people nervous. Nothing. If you finished it already because you are the kind of crawler who had a countdown timer running, good for you, keep it behind your teeth until the rest of the dungeon catches up. The Syndicate Court has issued rulings I disagreed with and I complied for longer than I should have. I will not be complying on this. Spoilers get removed. The crawler gets flagged. The file gets a note that says something the System will not repeat in a public announcement but that everyone involved will understand immediately.
Read the book. Come back here when you are done. We will debrief together.
The dungeon has been waiting for this one. So have I. Go.
