Hello,
as many of you before me, I have now decide between Glass and Shroud... without asking for any spoilers, is there anything I should know about the two ways that could help me make the decision? I.e., one is more interesting story-wise and/or has more long-term reverberations, one is better for one kind of character and the other for another kind (defining the two kinds), etc...
I would be just curious to have more bits of information!
Thanks!

I went with the Glass, as a lady of Science, and seriously, the cats from the Shroud were dic.... very rude. I went with bats, I love my bats.

If you plan to seek a certain name, then Glass is the way to go. Be forewarned, DO NOT SEEK THE NAME! DO NOT GO NORTH! NORTH!
The honest answer is that we really don't know yet. That story has been on ice for quite sometime and after you pick your side, that's the content wall. If you're really antsy about it I would suggest you hold off on picking sides until you can get a better sense of what is in store, but I believe that both sides will pay off singularly and evenly, so go with whichever side you feel is most apropos for your character.

...What does the Glass have to do with seeking the name? I know there's an option to start it at Mahogany Hall, but that option is outside of the War of Illusions.
After having reached the content boundary for the War of Illusions on the Glass side, there's an option at the Saturday show that can provide progress in that quest, if one's hunger is sufficient. (An Unaccountably Peckish challenge that provides 1 cp in the SMEN 3 -> SMEN 6 grind, at the cost of some Tales of Mahogany Hall and increasing all of Wounds/Nightmares/Suspicion/Scandal)

By the way, isn't it possible to play both roles simultaneously, as long as you don't sabotage any show?

No, it is not. Once you do one final show, your connection with the other one drops to 1: Just as if you hadn't done any sabotage.
...Ah. Thanks, good to know ^^

I want to get involved with the Glass since I've heard it helps with the new content in the Forgotten quarter. But I've chosen to make use of Cats. Am I locked with the Shroud now?
