Mythic Masters: the Book speaks on every page, hill climb to 10/10, rounds 3+ (from #3468) #3472

Closed

Description

@QuinnsCode

Carries on from #3468 (rounds 2+), which carried on from #3266 and #3278. There is no wizard: the Eldritch Compendium is a possessed book that demands we collect the earth's cryptids, like a mob boss keeping accounts. The aliens that dropped us here fled from the forces around it, not from the book itself. More lore comes later, from the owner.

Goalpost: the Book speaks on every page

The score is how many of the ten menu surfaces carry the Book's hand (a demand or a margin line in Covered By Your Grace, signed "the Book" where it makes a demand) and its rust thumbprint. Each one has to say something true for that page, not just repeat the same line.

Surface Hand Thumbprint
Title scroll yes (#3453) yes
Compendium: line-up yes (header demand) yes
Compendium: bestiary yes (header demand) yes
Compendium: regions yes (header demand) yes
Fight result note yes (round 2: receipt on a bind, order on a loss, demand after an empty win) yes
The Bog Witch's sheet (starters) no yes
Versus spread summon lines only, not signed yes
Bestiary deck no yes
Settings card no no
World toasts (bind, section cleared) no no

Score: 5/10 (target 10)

What is in the code

  • apps/mythic-masters/src/demand.ts: demandOf(journey) (the ledger), reactionOf(outcome, journey) (the result note's line, signed when it is a demand) and thumbAt(n).
  • src/main.ts: hand(ask, signed) draws the Book's hand; reaction(outcome) puts it under a result note's heading.
  • src/page.ts: thumb() presses one thumbprint on each page book().show() opens.
  • docs/MARGIN-NOTES.md: the voice guide, rewritten for the Book (demands signed, margin notes not), with a table of every line in use. Add yours there.

Next, one PR per round

  1. The starters sheet and the bestiary deck get a demand or margin line.
  2. The world's toasts in the Book's hand when you bind something or clear a section.
  3. Settings: one dry margin line, plus a thumbprint on the card.
  4. The versus spread: sign the summon lines that are demands.

Owner's call (ask, don't guess)

    Score: 2.5/10 (target 10)

    Reset by the owner (2026-11-05): every hill climb's agent-judged "where am I at" score is halved to match what they expect; this one was 5. Judges keep scoring before against now the same way, and each round reports half the judge's number from here on.
