Catalogue details
Description
A six-member fictional repair cooperative shares space and overhead while negotiating who does the work that never appears on an invoice.
Aliases
Fogline
Faction type
Worker cooperative; fictional
Purpose
Keep practical repair skills and a usable workshop available to members and neighbours.
Goals
Cover recurring costs, complete promised work, document repairs and reserve a bounded amount of capacity for reduced-cost community jobs.
Ideology
Useful objects deserve care; shared ownership requires shared responsibility.
Philosophy
Repair is both material work and an agreement about who bears cost. The cooperative values reuse without claiming every damaged object can or should be saved.
Characteristics
Practical, argumentative, welcoming by appointment and sensitive to wasted labour. Members disagree openly; consensus is an aspiration rather than a magical absence of conflict.
Structure hierarchy
Six core members agree ordinary decisions at a weekly meeting. Maya coordinates current jobs, Tessa documents designs and Ruth advises without an obligation to attend every session. Ruth’s advisory role does not establish a seventh membership; membership and visiting contributors are distinct.
Power level
Local and limited
Resources
Leased fictional workshop, member tools, shared benches, a modest parts stock, customer payments and limited volunteer time.
Is player joinable
True
Population size category
Small voluntary group
Population estimate
6
Territory influence
Dogpatch workshop and customers reached by arrangement across San Francisco.
Writing with this entry
Scene starters
- A profitable job would consume the entire mutual-aid allocation.
- The group must decide whether the person doing unpaid administration deserves a different share.
Continuity constraints
- It is not a municipal service, a licensed trade authority or an unlimited emergency repair line.
- Named members and affiliations are fictional and do not imply real organisational endorsement.
Adaptation notes
Use as an organisation to join, negotiate with or reshape. Game membership is an author-defined possibility, not an implemented quest or permission in WABF.
Sensory palette
Shared rooms, work surfaces and ordinary equipment; the image depicts representative collective activity rather than an official emblem.
Leadership
Roles are described in the hierarchy field; no fictional person is written into the legacy account-level leader_id.
Joining
An adopting author may define consent, responsibilities and a trial period.
Resources limit
It is not a municipal service, a licensed trade authority or an unlimited emergency repair line.
