Anyway, I’m gearing up for a Blades game and I had an idea for a score after reading a review that was talking about how it’s always night and the PCs can’t change the world.
The score would be: A piece of the sun.
What would that be worth? What might it do? How could it be used? Who might be interested in it?

I know it sounds kind of contradictory, but there’s a method to my madness. The Tribe 8 rpg is one of the kings (or is that queens) of the metaplot craze of the late 90s/early 00s.
