Development phase · skill ticks & luck recovery
Growth is half the pleasure of a long campaign — and the easiest thing to forget at one in the morning. Séance Table remembers for you: every skill used successfully at its true value is quietly marked with a tick on the sheet, combat skills included.
When the night ends, the Keeper closes the session with a single click: each marked skill rolls against itself — above it (or 96+) and it grows by 1d10, exactly by the book. Luck makes its recovery roll in the same breath.
The Chronicle records who grew and who refused to learn. No bookkeeping, no forgotten ticks, no arguments in the parking lot.

The voice was not his own Scenery that moves of its own accord Letters arrive for guests who never gave their names Red string found spanning the boarding-house wall He alone heard the whispering One hundred faces on the wheel "I merely wrote what the room told me" Spiritualists convene across impossible distances Not one sitting missed Blows exchanged properly Investigators made while you wait Papers kept in order Persons supplied The circle's wall Weather supplied Discretion assured Interruptions staged
