So as far as when formatted into PDF file book style, does anyone know any tricks that could be done to "conceal" a story or poem into the anthology?

Nothing that springs to mind... I mean, we could make a SECOND pdf with a key to unlock hidden somewhere in the FIRST pdf... that could be an interesting game, potentially...

I personally believe that to be an awesome concept for an addition to this anthology once there are less on the list. I'be loved the Guildgate message ever since I found out about it, so that'd be neat thing to add. Gonna have to start writing asap for Murasa Logbook so I can have free reign to let the Ravnica story flow more surely lol

So, Ive been thinking on one small story to add to the anthology. I want to include a story focusing on an old conspiracist with things to say about 'sightings' and other details he allegedly has with Planeswalkers, though told rather vaguely from this old man's point of view. Considering SO many people frequent Ravnica. (Jace, Liliana, Chandra, Garruk, Dack, Domri, Gideon, Nicol Bolas? Nissa, Ral, Tezzeret, Vraska, Ramaz, Vronos, etc) so while he may not have had but a few sightings of a few different Planeswalkers (and perhaps some suspicions about some combination of Jace, Gideon, Ral, Domri, Vraska, etc) and him ranting about these sightings and what he thinks he knows, giving him a reputation as a conspiracy theorist at best, and a lunatic at worst.

Hmm. Depending on how you do it, I think that might make an interesting concept. There are a number of ways you could go with it. He could just be some old man who was often in the right place at the right time, or maybe he was a member of the Wojek, or he owned a tavern 'walkers favored for some reason. It could be pretty fun, really.

Just remember that during the Guildpact, Ravnica was shut off to 'walkers, so you'll have to set it post-Dissension, but most of those 'walkers fit that, anyway.

The biggest problem with that is that... well, the sightings just AREN'T that old.
Also, I'm going to continue to take all of Vronos's origins with an entire shaker of salt.

And yes, Bolas specifically visited Ravnica. It was in the middle of a duel with Leshrac, so... it would have been a very notable spectacle.

Planeswalkers were barred from Ravnica? But yes, of the probable Planeswalkers to choose from, a few from that time should be doable. I personally have a thing for Vronos. While it's something for another time, while there is a bit to be desired, I'm particularly fond of the character (I like obscure characters on a whole different level than normal canon characters) What about the sightings not being old?

The thing that bothers me about Vronos is that he's yet ANOTHER Innistradi native and they keep frontloading walkers onto their featured planes.
Just wait until we get to see another Tarkir walker in fall....

In his defense though, Sorin WAS from 6000 years ago, but the population figures have just been getting more and more ridiculous. Ravnica had THREE of the damn things.

Anyways, with the sightings not being old, we're looking at... tops, five years on average.

Not a big deal when it comes to a vague mention of what sounds like Vronos anyway.

I'm not following what you're getting at about the "sightings not being very old". What do you mean? What's that affect?

For the sightings to proliferate large enough for it to gain traction as some sort of conspiracy, there has to be enough sightings and time to reach that critical mass.

Why can't it just be an older fellow who has, as Raven put it, been at the right place at the right time often enough and trying to convince someone else that what he knows has merit, that there are these 'worldjumpers' out there, and perhaps that the current state of the guildpact may be one of them, if he's correct. Part of me wants to end it with him telling all of this stuff to a homunculus or something not too intelligent. (while the thought also persists that Fblthp couuuld fit, such as the man being revealed to be detained at New Prahv for some outburst based on his ravings about these worldjumpers, and he was rambling to Fblthp, I'm torn on whether it could fit for this story, or if that's too much gratuitous fanservice)

"May we always be found."

I'm sorry, come again? Lol You Totally Lost me.

Nicely referenced. But in case it's also a real question, it's a reference to a story Dr_Demento wrote up, found here.

lol I might play along with this joke from now on lol Just wanted to know what people thought of the concept. The lampshade needs to be hung lol

How do Transguild Couriers work? Is it a regular job? Who is in command of these couriers?

They're golems. They don't have any higher intelligence. Nothing more than tools.
Normally, the Izzet or Dimir handle the transportation of messages, but I would imagine that most all of the guilds worth the name would have a few couriers on standby. (probably not the Rakdos, Golgari, or Gruul, to be honest.)

I could always resurrect that booster-based story I did, though it needed a bit reworking. Otherwise, packs should be cheap enough still that I could just buy another and work off that.

Or seemingly normal citizens of Ravnica. It would appear they've never been treated as relevant outside of Transguild Courier and this scene here. I wondered if there was more to know about minor background characters running neutral errands and messages between the guilds without actually being members. Though here, they do appear to get some guild specific access, as this courier in question became a target due to her possession of an invitation to seemingly private ceremonial event the Selesnya Conclave was having.
