Copy/Paste the link below into Chrome to get an IOU Template to print. Print lots, you’ll want to write lots of IOUs for goods and services. Your faction leader will tell you how many credit’s worth of IOUs you can write, and your skills will let you know how many extra you can forge.

Arrive at the door in character. Since there are 100 mph winds outside on Halcyon, wear a coat and hat no matter the temperature when you leave your house. Enter Sweet Rayne and pile your coat onto the pile in the hallway to the right. (Coats don’t have to be “steampunked”.) Piling coats on the floor is the norm on our planet.
When they arrive, I will give faction leaders their “mail”. The envelope will contain skills cards they will distribute to their faction members. There may be skills your character possess but they would NEVER use because it is against their principles. There is no requirement to use a skill you possess, but you CAN’T TRADE SKILLSwith others.
You don’t have to show your skills card; we trust you. ACT THEM OUT then dispose of it discretely once used.

The place we’ve often played has had several name changes. Falton (medieval), Port Falton (pirate age), FaltIron (steam age), Port FaltIron (space age).
Everyone should come with a dirty little secret that incriminates yourself in some way – undermines your credibility, makes you a fugitive from justice, is at odds with your morals, etc. Skills cards can be used to extract your secret, or a secret you know about someone else.
