Gain a Forgery Fencing and set it aside. If you do, at the start of your next turn, play it as though it were an Action card in the supply. It is that card until it leaves play.
Publicist

Each opponent discards down to two cards in hand then draws a card. At the start of your next turn, +1$.

+1 Action
Take two coin tokens.
segura:
Surveyor is hard to judge but you can test it in a Surveyor vs money game.
Forgery Fencing looks pretty weak. The effect is nice but you get a "double" dead card into your deck.
The attack is unconditional but Publicist nonetheless looks weak relative to Legionary. The reverse Haggler effect for the opponents looks too good. Buy a Gold, gain a Province. Buy two Ironmongers, gain two Hunting Grounds.
About Jayemdae Tome, converting Coffers into draw is a good idea but in the Night phase it is pretty pointless.
infangthief:
Surveyor looks fun. I've no idea if it is balanced, but it might swing decisions about when to play engines vs money.
I feel that Forgery Fencing is weak enough that it doesn't need the punishment when you trash it.
It should combo well with one-shots (maybe even overpowered with Hireling or Tragic Hero?), but looks unwelcome otherwise.
If I play Publicist and no other player chooses to draw, then it gets discarded at the end of my current turn, right? So the other player(s) should virtually always choose to draw in order to get the 'while this is in play' benefit.
Jayemdae Tome seems way overpriced. I feel there's a joke here that I'm not getting...
If I'm picking my favourite... it might be Forgery Fencing. Should be fun when you find a situation where it's good.
faust:
Publicist is weird with Potions and debt.
All cards presented here seem quite weak.
popsofctown:
So maybe Forgery Fencing doesn't need the on-trash penalty.
With publicist you should tactically occasionally choose not to discard to deny your opponent their extra turn of "while this is in play" benefit too. But I'm not convinced there's a cost where publicist is balanced.
Jayemdae Tome I totally miss thought because at first it was a treasure. I intended it to be nonterminal. So it was supposed to have +1 Action, so that it's a lab variant. Which might mean it is ok at 5.
