These cards turn the raw forum trail into practical page leads: gossip, character texture, time depth, source depth, and review warnings where the match pattern is broad.

overmatch_review

Big archive trail, needs match review

Boards.ie produces 59 readable matches for The Shelbourne Bar, but the name or hit pattern is broad enough that PubHub should treat this as a source-mining queue before writing stronger lore. The links still preserve useful public memory leads.
