She wasn’t known for it, because famous assassins were usually only famous posthumously. The right people in the right places knew that if they asked the right questions--and paid the right amount--someone would come along and do t...

I decided to do weekly updates on this project, mostly for the sake of accountability and to keep people posted, but also to gauge interest in the system and see what people think. I'll be running a Session -1 on Saturday on the Discord as well!
