What follows is a slightly unconventional sort of Let’s Play: an account of the experiences of the most tedious, unadventurous, home-loving, risk-averse man in [Failbetter Games‘](http://www.failbettergames.com/) browser RPG [Fallen London](http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/) and its tie-in game [Sunless Sea](http://www.failbettergames.com/sunless/). That man is [Doctor Taupe-Wainscot](http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Doctor%20Taupe-Wainscot), a Suffolk-born general practitioner in his late fifties, who has spent much of his life ensconced in various English enclaves in South and South-East Asia, and consequently knows next to nothing about the gloomy, monster-haunted subterranean world that now houses the city of his youth. As Fallen London is an online game, other players can contribute to the doctor’s narrative. As a rule, passages written by others are printed in italics, and include a link to their character profile where appropriate. Invitations for in-game actions can be directed to the doctor’s account, though there may be a delay before they are accepted, depending on the state of the narrative. (Once the doctor’s practice is re-established, too, requests for treatment can be made via in-game messaging.) The adventures of The Most Boring Man in Fallen London were inspired in no small part by George and Weedon Grossmith’s classic novel _The Diary of a Nobody_. Also, thought it was not a direct inspiration, it would be negligent not to mention the influence of Christopher Livingstone’s excellent Let’s Play project, [Living in Oblivion](http://www.screencuisine.net/section/livinginoblivion/). _Fallen London is © 2017 and ™ Failbetter Games Limited: [www.fallenlondon.com](http://www.fallenlondon.com). This is an unofficial fan work._ [Part One - In which the doctor is mistaken for a notorious felon.](http://www.frillyshirt.org/2014/01/14/the-most-boring-man-in-fallen-london/) [Part Two - In which the doctor is taken in by a kindly widow.](http://www.frillyshirt.org/2014/01/15/the-most-boring-man-in-fallen-london-part-two/) [Part Three - In which the doctor has a difficult breakfast.](http://www.frillyshirt.org/2014/01/16/the-most-boring-man-in-fallen-london-part-three/) [Part Four - In which the doctor is a social benefactor.](http://www.frillyshirt.org/2014/01/19/the-most-boring-man-in-fallen-london-part-four/) [Part Five - In which the doctor reviews the morning post.](http://www.frillyshirt.org/2014/01/29/the-most-boring-man-in-fallen-london-part-five/) [Part Six - In which the doctor enjoys a game of chess.](http://www.frillyshirt.org/2014/02/06/the-most-boring-man-in-fallen-london-part-six/) [Part Seven - In which the doctor helps host a modest gathering.](http://www.frillyshirt.org/2014/02/07/the-most-boring-man-in-fallen-london-part-seven/) [Part Eight - In which the doctor is chummy with a vicar.](http://www.frillyshirt.org/2014/02/16/the-most-boring-man-in-fallen-london-part-eight/) [Part Nine - In which the doctor goes out of an evening.](http://www.frillyshirt.org/2014/02/28/the-most-boring-man-in-fallen-london-part-nine/) [Part Ten - In which the doctor meets a lady-friend.](http://www.frillyshirt.org/2014/03/26/the-most-boring-man-in-fallen-london-part-ten/) [Part Eleven - In which the doctor does some light gardening.](http://www.frillyshirt.org/2014/05/04/the-most-boring-man-in-fallen-london-part-eleven/) [Part Twelve - In which the doctor enjoys a pleasure-cruise.](http://www.frillyshirt.org/2014/07/11/the-most-boring-man-in-fallen-london-part-twelve/) [Part Thirteen - In which the doctor visits an ailing colleague.](http://www.frillyshirt.org/2015/01/07/the-most-boring-man-in-fallen-london-part-thirteen/) [Part Fourteen - In which the doctor attends a country fair.](http://www.frillyshirt.org/2015/08/29/the-most-boring-man-in-fallen-london-part-fourteen/) ---

My [most recent alt](http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Hieronymous%20DeWitt) has sent the good doctor his calling card. (This is my third Fallen London character, as I wanted to pursue a new Ambition and see the early stuff again. I love this game.)
