How do I handle the “Psychic Surgery” scrolls?
It states this in the description: Psychic surgery removes all effects magically altering the target’s memory, even instantaneous effects, and it can restore a memory to perfect clarity like the second use of modify memory.

Wouldnt that affect the players memory loss?

This saturday i ran a full day session where i revealed som of the characters backstories and it went pretty well.

The rogue went all in and roleplayed his way out of the first encounter with the drugdealer he was supposed to supply.

The funniest moment though was when the spiritualist was approached by a slew of high class ladies requesting another seance. The party understood it as he had been gigolo´ing his way around the high society ladies. Pretty darn funny and just goes to show you that your players will find ways to astound you with their interpretations of the story you put in the Water.

First of all. THANK YOU for the inspiration you give me to make my players experience much much better.

Ive stolen some of your ideas about the characters backgrounds to heighten roleplaying and increase the suspense.
More directly i took the butchers apprentice and the Jack the ripper ideas for the wizard and teh alchemist in the group.
For the other players ive made up these ideas (please give feedback if you can)

- The brawler in the Group is known for his violent behaviour and has spent many nights in the jail of Fort Hailcourse as a result of fights and assaults. Furthermore he Ios known to run a pretection racket in the Merchants quarter. One time when the party is passing by the market place i´ll have a shopkeeper blanch visibly at his stall and run inside the shop to fetch a bag of money. He will run and prostrate himself before the brawler and ask for forgiveness for a late payment and beg not to get hit Again. (a perception check dc 10 will show a milyy eye and a nose thats been broken many times)

- The rogue of the Group is known to deal in illicit substances. He will be approached by a shady character asking when he will deliver the next shipment, especially his costumers is anxious to try the demon seed Again.

- The barbarian has fought in the underground pit fights and won many a battle. One of her primary rivals notice her and decide to settle the score between them at night in the pit. (perhaps gonna kidnap the barbarian or just give an invitation she cant refuse)

- The spiritualist has been running a seance con ring where he has been scamming the right and powerful of the city out of their Money and valuables with Cold readings and the help from his sprit companion. He will be invited to an afternoon tea part with some rich women and be expected to give a seance.

Those are just rough ideas, but i think they will work out great.
