We are raising money for Médecins Sans Frontières, who are operating search and rescue missions in the Mediterranean.
We've just made a lucky dip item available on the Fate page which will give you an unusual item from Sunless Sea. This is currently the only way to get these items. It costs 11 Fate and will give you a random item.
We're going to make a donation to match the amount raised, up to £10,000. Here's Alexis' blog with more information. Please consider buying the bundle and supporting the vital work of Médecins Sans Frontières!

We've retired the bundle now. You raised over $9,000, meaning the total donation will be $18,000. Thank you all, you delightful people. We'll keep you informed about when the donation has been made!

Okay, so far I've gotten:
2 x Solacefruit
2 x Live Specimen
3 x Outlandish Artefact
1 x Tin of Zzoup
1 x Royal-Blue Feather
1 x Knob of Scintillac
1 x Ambiguous Eolith
2 x Carved Balls of Stygian Ivory
1 x Moves in the Great Game
2 x Deep Zee Catch
Note that different texts can offer the same reward. Note also that the live specimen and the catch both are in the 'Goods' category, rather than the Curiosity box. Some items seem to be sellable for 2.50 echoes, others for 0.50 echoes

If anyone gets bundle #5 please let me know.
I just got #5. It's Vital Intelligence.
So between my own and NiteBrite's records I believe these are the options with frequencies:
[spoiler]
- Something obscured -> Mountain-sherd (1%)
- Something eery -> Judgements' Egg (1%)
- Something turning -> Element of Dawn (1%)
- Something stern -> Vital Intelligence (2%)
- Something round -> Carved Ball of Stygian Ivory (10%)
- Something glowing -> Knob of Scintillack (10%)
- Something rattling -> Outlandish Artefact (5%)
- Something ticking -> Outlandish Artefact (5%) (Combined Outlandish Artefact chance at 10%)
- Something sloshing -> Live Specimen (10%)
- Something weighty -> Tin of Zzoup (10%)
- Something floppy -> Deep-zee Catch (10%)
- Something scandalous -> Moves in the Great Game (10%)
- Something angled -> Ambiguous Eolith (10%)
- Something squishy -> Solacefruit (10%)
- Something insubstantial -> Royal-Blue Feather (5%)
[/spoiler]
Of the rare items I got 2 Mountain-sherds and a Vital Intelligence but no Egg or Element of Dawn  (
For a full record I missing three pieces of information: the text of the "Something eery" action (not the success text but the little snippet in the action box) and both the title and the text of the Element of Dawn action. If someone knows I would be really grateful for the info (via PM if necessary).
ETA: A kind soul has provided me with the details of the Element of dawn action ("Something turning"). So I all I am missing now is the action text for "Something eery".

We'll remove the bundle from the fate page on Wednesday this week [ed - 23 Sept], so get your last items! We'll be matching the donations from you-all, and passing it on to MSF soon. I'll keep you all informed!

Kind of interesting to watch these items migrate into different categories over the course of the last week! Here's the rundown as of right now:
Academic: Carved Ball of Stygian Ivory, Outlandish Artefact, Judgements' Egg
Goods: Deep-zee Catch, Knob of Scintillack
Luminosity: Mountain-sherd, Element of Dawn
Curiosity: everything else (so far, this seems to be a rather default category)
Kinda surprised that Zzoup didn't end up in Infernal, Royal-Blue Feather in Elder, and Moves in the Great Game and/or Vital Intelligence in Rumour or Influence -- but maybe they're still being moved around.

Liking the idea! Although to increase visibility I'd suggest a gold universal storylet since you guys still need to broadcast the Watchful change.
Got: Knob of Scintillack (same icon as the snuff), Carved Ball of Stygian Ivory, Royal-Blue Feather, Live Spicemen
Going by the item descriptions, seems like we will be able to hunt Blue Prophets and Milliner Bats to get more Feathers in the future?

1 Moves in the Great Game.

I really need to stop buying these things. It's clear enough that I'm not going to get the remaining top tier items that I want without spending far more money than I planned, and I really can't envisage a situation where I'd need more than 13 moves in the great game, or 14 live specimens. I think I'll wait until the shiny objects can be ground out as nature intended.

I got an Element of Dawn (!!) at bundle value 03. Also Vital Intelligence, but I forgot to record the value.
You've turned my gambling and collection addictions into something noble and charitable, I'm not entirely sure how I should feel about that. It's brilliant nonetheless, well done.

I think I have all the bundle value ranges figured out based on my echos and the information on this forum (and a little guess work). The only thing which doesn't fit my pattern is the bundle with a value of exactly 5. If anyone gets bundle #5 please let me know. Its either an irregular, but possible expansion on the bundle ranges surrounding it or its an item I haven't heard anyone mention yet. One of the two.

Well, I took the amount I would have donated anyway, and managed to get everything but a Vital Intelligence. My completist side is now warring with my budget-making side--especially since it's just one!--but I believe I shall desist.
Really great idea, FBG, and I hope it goes smashingly.

I had bought some 10 bucks' worth of fate tu unlock some stories I wanted to check out, got 4 of these instead. My loot
1 can of zzoup
2 outlandish artifacts
1 Element of Dawn (!!!)
That last one almost made up for losing all my Connected: Hell in a failed Embassy heist.

I have to say, I really like the text for the Scintilack (something glowing). Now if only I could decide what to make with it, cufflinks or maybe a set of earrings, haha.

I like this too. Suggestion: have it cost 0 actions rather than 1, to encourage people to donate as much as possible.
