So, I'm leaning towards:

This should start making sense during The Skinsaw Murders.

One specific thing - english is not my native language, so though I'm trying to come up with a gender-neutal alternative to master (because Lamashtu and Alaznist) I'm not sure what will work. I'm considering despot or tyrant, but they sound a tad too lawfully inclined to me. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

The Ususal Suspect: He has an interest in the Tarot, and finds the Harrow copying it to be inappropriate (not the exact word he used, but something along those lines).

Thanks for the input - I'm still trying to draw the line between foreshadowing and spoiling. Ideally, I'd like something where at some point, if they're smart, the players can see a connection slightly before they otherwise would.

I don't think refering to runes is too big a spoiler to anyone who has heard the title of the AP, though I might look for another word. I'll probably ditch the greed reference, since that one might become too obvious at some point and there's another reference in there to the same effect.

And the second line I'm not happy with, I'd really like to find something vaguer. Ideally vague enough that it could just as well be referring to Lamashtu :)

I'm running through Burnt Offerings, and one of the PCs has a connection to Madame Mvashti. So, of course, he wants her to look into the future for him. The player doesn't like the idea of Harrow cards, says he finds them too similar to Tarot for his tastes. Instead I've come up with this:

I'd like to hear some opinions from the great hivemind on this - too obscure? Too spoilery? Too cliche?

I think I'd like to tweak the first two lines in particular, but I'm not quite sure how.

If relevant, for context, the characters have more or less cleared the first level of Thistletop and I have the original version of RotRL, not the anniversary one.
