Bearer: the papers of the interwar years, your characters on the account, and five hundred period portraits
The media library: five hundred period portraits
Five hundred and two portraits from the 1900s to the 1940s, copyright free (CC0), join the shared image library. Enough to put a photograph on a passport or a card without uploading anything, and they only show up in the period apps.
Bearer: the interwar paper office
A new app joins the Toolbox. Bearer makes an investigator's passport for 1920s and 1930s play: the 32-page booklet a clerk would have filled in by hand, with the bearer's description, photograph and the countries it is valid for, then the visas and frontier stamps a campaign leaves in it, session after session.
Fourteen offices issue the passport: the international model the League of Nations settled in 1920, Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Poland, Egypt, Iraq, Mandate Palestine (in English, French, Arabic and Hebrew), the Republic of China, and the Nansen certificate for an investigator with no country left.
Thirty-four other kinds of paper follow, each in the countries that issued it: driving permits, permits to dig, birth, death and marriage certificates, identity, press and police cards, firearm and hunting licences, committal papers, warrants, telegrams, customs declarations, and the papers of the stops of Masks of Nyarlathotep, from New York and London to Cairo, Nairobi, Western Australia and Shanghai. A hundred and eight papers in all.
Nearly everything is read off a real document. Where none has been found, the paper is reconstructed from the country's law and the app says so: the reference pages give the source of every paper and what is still provisional.
Paste the link of a Passage journey and Bearer says which visas it asked for, in what order, then writes them in with the journey's stamps. A consul may refuse.
The booklet ages as one object: a stain falls on a spread, soaks through the leaf and comes back fainter on its back. Worn edges, water, coffee, and blood in three amounts.
Pages download as PNG and share by a link that rebuilds them exactly. With Patreon: the booklet as an imposed PDF to print and fold, the library filed by campaign, handing a passport to a player, photographs, and the printer's mark that comes off the foot of the page.
The forger: five mistakes in a crude forgery, three in a good one, one in a master's, in the words as in the drawing (a leaning rule, a frame that does not close, a column out of true, a squashed seal), and the Keeper's sheet that says where to look. Patreon.
Eight achievements, and a stranger who walks up to the desk when you are short of NPCs.
Passage
The Channel: Dover to Calais daily, first and second class, with the boat train alongside on both sides. London reaches Dover, Paris reaches Calais and Marseilles.
The planner chooses better: no place crossed twice, no detour by Cherbourg to get from Paris to Marseilles, and the express or packet it keeps is the last one that connects.
Documents wear their years like Bearer's: edges, folds, water, a coffee ring and blood, with the amount set at the ticket desk.
Tickets are filled in by hand and stamped, and every date is written the way whoever wrote it did.
A line's logo is picked from the media library.
Your characters, on the account
A Characters page in the account menu: up to twenty characters, in D&D 5e, Call of Cthulhu or another game, with the identity a period paper asks for.
A character shares by link, and whoever opens it can add it to their own account (a private copy, never the inventory).
The apps read them: the Crafting Table takes the D&D 5e sheets, Bearer fills a paper's holder from a Cthulhu character, Passage offers them as passengers.
The hub and the apps
The rail groups the apps by category, each with its icon and tags.
The middle of the rail scrolls, in every app: a long list no longer pushes the Menu button off the screen.
Images are picked from the media library everywhere (library, your uploads, upload), cropped to the frame's proportions.
MGS Toolbox for Foundry
1.3.0: Passage comes into Foundry. The office opens in a window, a dossier imports as journal entries, and the party becomes the fellow travellers.
1.4.0: Bearer in its turn. A button on the journal sidebar, "Make a passport for this character" on an actor, and passports become journal entries.
Update the module from Foundry's Modules page ("Update" on MGS Toolbox) or from the Hub's "MGS Toolbox for Foundry" page.
