298 - Your Greatest Hits

Artifact: Your Greatest Hits

Power: Significant.

Description: You know that band you always wanted to go big with? Maybe you were serious about it or maybe it was just a fantasy of drunken camaraderie. Either way this is what could have been, if you’d put in the time and the effort and caught all the right breaks. A CD or vinyl record (it's never digital for some reason) with the best songs you ever could have made. You didn’t though.

Effect: The first person who listens hears themselves singing or playing, even without vocals something about the chords struck is intensely personal (rank 2 Unnatural check, if it matters). T
he songs are intensely personal revelations that describe key moments in their life. Listening to it might be cathartic or harrowing depending on how things actually shook out. Self checks are a likely outcome.

Once the album has imprinted on someone it's always about them. Other people listening will hear them and it'll be good, if a bit too uncomfortably personal. If possible the revelations of the album grant a +1d10% boost to objectives focused on altering the course of its subject's life for better or worse. It also grants a one-off 2 rank boost to any coercion attempts for at least one horribly personal hot-button, probably more.
