Coconut Tree Wellness Centre


Work has been slow on SPILT MILK between other jobs but it's coming along. I'm pretty confident about the first case, and I think about half of the phonebook is in a playable state. But as I keep bemoaning, it doesn't work until the whole thing is ready and all d100 phone numbers work.

Let's call one of them now, shall we?

015 COCONUT TREE WELLNESS CENTRE. Combination spa and therapist. Well maintained, expensive furniture, lots of houseplants. Soft slide guitar music plays in the background, under the gentle sound of the raindrops from outside. 

Healer Kim Ng wears floral silk shirts under a lab coat, and large round glasses that magnify her freckles. She is very nice but not very good at her job. Unlicensed by PacyGen Soft Drinks and Pharmaceuticals, she is unable to prescribe medication. 

100cr per session, paid up front. At the end of your last session Sanity save vs therapy, one reroll allowed per session taken, compounding any Stress gained. Relieve 1d5 Stress or a relevant condition on a success. 

Open for over-the-phone or in-person sessions. 

Closed. 


One of the shorter entries. I don't think any one of the numbers gives a thorough vertical slice of the whole adventure, the point is the sum total, the volume and variety of material. But a lot of them are a bit like this one - things to spend money on, possible mechanical benefits, characters who might provoke interaction.

Players will come across these naturally as they go about solving cases. Once they've built up their own little black book somewhat, the hope is that they'll form their own interests and connections, driving gameplay.

Consider this a preview I guess. Now then, back to work ðŸ«¡

PS it's Odai 47 again, not 57 after all, I've decided. I reserve the right to undecide later
