Quotes (from this video)
- Scarlet Keys is really good for standalones.
- You've arrived in Hollywood at the request of your contact, the silent film actor Andre Patel. According to Andre, something strange is happening on lot C. Cameras and props have gone missing and a series of accidents nearly halted production. Rumors have spread between the cast. The members of the films are cursed. I've been on sets and I've felt that before, too. It usually just means it's run bad. None of it was taken seriously until one of the cast members was found dead. Okay, maybe it's cursed.
- This is why we love blind plays, everybody.
- The encounter cards were brutal.

- All I can say is that I personally intensely dislike the trend of scalping scalping games or anything for that matter.
- And Snakebird Priestess, that is a very funny message.
