Best Way to Invite New Players?

Fallen London
1

Hello all!
I’m fairly new to Fallen London, but already hooked! I’ve convinced some friends they want to play, and plan on sending them an in-game invitation. However, I feel like I distinctly remember seeing some option say &quotthis will unlock a special storylet for your friend if they decide to join&quot – am I making this up? If it’s real, where did I see it?

I figure they only get to be invited to play once, so I’d like to make it as positive and exciting an experience as possible!

Thanks!

I can’t say if this is the only one, but there’s something like that in the spite, if you choose to intercept couriers.

I am only aware of three such options:

  1. &quotUnravelling a Coded Message&quot is accessible either at Spite through the &quotBut what is this?&quot branch of &quotSnaffle couriered messages&quot or at Ladybones Road through the &quotWhat on earth?&quot branch of &quotGo mudlarking&quot (which disappears as soon you exceed 16 Watchful)

  2. &quotSeeking a better class of violence&quot is accessible at Watchmaker’s Hill through &quotA better class of violence&quot branch of &quotRowdy times at the Medusa’s Head&quot (which disappears if you exceed Dangerous 11) or from the &quotIf only there were two of you, you could take on the world!&quot branch of &quotAn unwise ambush&quot opportubity card

  3. &quotEnjoying the bohemian atmosphere of Veilgarden&quot is accessible from &quotWhat you need is a coterie&quot branch &quotThe Poet of the Streets&quot opportunity card and (allegedly, though I haven’t verified this personally)at Veilgarden through &quotInvite like-minded poets down here&quot branch of &quotLiterary Ambitions&quot

ETA: I’ve just check on my low-level alts and I can get all of them apart from &quotInvite like-minded poets down here&quot. It’s either been discontinued or maybe made Airs-dependent.

Thank you both!!

Suppose one just wants to invite surface friends and doesn’t care about the individual storylet. I know I’ve seen a way to do it but I cannot find it. Do I need to wait for a particular card?

Well, I actually found the fancier way, via Spite and the courier, so everyone can ignore this. Sorry to have been a bother. Onwards!

For anyone else looking, there are quite a few different ways to invite people but various ones lock and unlock at different levels. Off the top of my head I recall that each Unfinished Business storylet has an invitation option (I believe the storylets themselves are unlocked for the four starting areas at ~75 of the relevant stat). There’s also an invitation option when dead.
