Hi All,
Me again, still lovin the Fallen London experience haha.
Got a question though (well a million actually, but I try and answer most myself)....
How do I get money? I have lots of what I'm terming "loot" from various storylets (catching cats, hooking up with that artists model, etc..) and I also have some of what seems like higher-level loot, but I've yet to get any echoes or pence. Do I sell my loot to get cash? I don't know what i should be keeping and what I should be selling though; I don't want to sell something really good or that I need.
Also, I did a story and got 4 nightmares; is this a problem? how do I get rid of them? will they fade naturally over time? (I'm reading the 'managing menances thread right now, so maybe the answer is there, if so I'll find it).
How can I let you guys see my profile/inventory ?
Thanks

Selling the headful of picaresque tales is actually a safe bet, coz' the card can come around again only if you don't have it. It's not very common, though, but the Tales don't do anything and you can't permanently lose them.
Moving lodgings only affects your hand size; you won't lose access to the Bohemian Sculptress or anything.
Surface currency and relics of the fourth city are nearly totally useless; you can sell them if you want. Most other items have some use somewhere at some point, so it can be hard to decide what exactly to sell. You could sell a few of every item; say, rounding to the nearest 50 or 100 or 10 or whatever, or decide on a reserve value to keep in case of emergencies and sell anything above that occasionally.
In the mean time, you may wanna check out this list for some hella early capital boosts. Lots of the items granted are fairly useful here and there later, but you can sell just a few of them and have some good cash to start off with. The Puzzling Map is useless, so you can sell that for sure.

Just as a note: some social actions require an acquaintance rather than a contact; for example, once your persuasive goes high enough, you can invite someone to dinner if you've exchanged a contact card, which gives 2 Confident smiles instead of one for coffee. Those cost Free Evenings, though, and you only get 5 a week.
Also, it is completely worth it to take the extra effort to make the social actions in-character by including a little message! That's a major part of the fun for me, especially once I got into the romantic social actions (which I usually spend my Free Evenings on).
