Faction Buy Lists

Bravado’s Post Office carries goods for the town’s various factions. The lists below are available to characters with the associated Society Membership Skill on their sheet. The purchase lists for members of the factions of Bravado function similarly to the lists for Trade Connections, Criminal Influence, or Sailing.

A character must have the appropriate level of the Society Membership skill to access a list. The character can spend Brass (฿) or Trade Notes to access each tier of the list.

  • Basic Society Membership: 

    • Buy one item or service from any one faction’s Basic list for 1฿ or Trade Note

  • Proficient Society Membership: 

    • Buy one item or service from any one faction’s Proficient list for 5฿ or Trade Notes

  • Master Society Membership: 

    • Buy one item or service from any one faction’s Master list for 10฿ or Trade Notes

Society Membership with Bravado factions can gained by completing Work Orders and Personal Plot Requests to request a Faction Interview, or even investing Brass to outright purchase a “stake” in the faction.

A character may only buy one item per event from each level they can access, no matter how many different Factions they represent.

This means a character with Society Membership in both the Railroad Conglomerate and the Lovelace family could buy items from either list, but only buy one item from each tier. They could purchase a Basic tier item from the RRC, and a Proficient tier item from the Lovelaces, but could not purchase both a Basic item from the RRC and Lovelaces during the same event.

The DR:TX Faction Buy Lists were designed by Sam Mars.

There are several types of purchases you can gain from these lists. [LPC] refers to a “Local Plot Card”. This is an item that is only usable in Bravado and cannot be taken to other chapters without their explicit approval.

An item listed as [Service] refers to an immediate effect or buff that is applied to your character without requiring an item card.

    Afterwards, return to the post office and expend any amount of BODY POINTS to signify the dangers and hazards you experienced on your expedition. For each 10 Body Points spent in this way, gain a random Salvaging or Foraging card from the Post Office.
