Trivia
Secret History
One day I thought, do I have any published cards that are really different from everything else in the set, that I could make new very simple versions of? I found two good candidates: Scavenger (from Dark Ages) and Herald (from Guilds). The Scavenger part I liked was getting a card from your discard pile; so Harbinger does that, with +1 Card +1 Action instead of +, and without the Chancellor part (phew). This was called Courier for a while, but people complained about there being both Courier and Courtier.
