My paper soldiers form a wall, five paces thick and twice as tall.
Here's the place Raven took over, more or less.



The street facing is narrow, but apparently they go way back into the block. Also the tower is apparently for hanging up hoses to dry, which is pretty neat.

Raven got herself a place on the edge of the Haights, nice. She's moving up in the world.


Seriously though, that's some nifty architecture.

Hey Mr. Prokosch, is JJ using his own jingle on that roll or is the +1 from the 1-barter equivalent Gozo promised? Just trying to figure out how expensive of an item he just screwed up getting

Mr. Prokosch
Feb 14, 2012

Actually because I didn't have anything in particular that I wanted I was asking a buddy to find the most expensive things still on the market for me. That +1 is for hot to manipulate with the promise of fixing up broken scrap into more valuable scrap as my leverage.

I feel like Raven uses a different one depending on whether or not she's happy with him at the given moment. JJ if she's cool with him, Wombat when she thinks he's being a big weirdo, and Fixit (with a sarcastic edge) when she's pissed at him.

Well, you went into it in your backround/app, so I figured it was important to the character. And its a decent way to do a bit of worldbuilding/NPC-detailing. I just pause and ask 'How does this NPC feel about JJ', and go from there.

Should we have redone highlights? I always forget when that happens.

Highlights are changed when someone says 'How about we change highlighted stats' at the beginning/end of a session.

You recieved first aid from Emdey, and its been 4-5 days, so we'll say you're good. Healing from 3 or 6:00 requires some form of treatment, and either time or drugs if you want it to go away faster

Got a hot commission out of a friend of mine, so now Doctor isn't just a lovely Fallout screenshot I messed with in Adobe Illustrator! The days of the mohawk are long past, although I'll say it's still a canon Doctor haircut from her younger days.

Ok, put up an update so everyone is now at the meeting-place at the same time. Feel free to chat if you'd like. Gozo's presentation is going to be a bit of an effortpost with maps and pics and stuff, I'm hoping for later tonight but it may be tomorrow. Or if folks are having fun yakking, I'll hold off until it dies down

Just so folks know what the NPCs involved in the assault are capable of, Keela has a small attack boat. Fast, lightly armored, with mounted machine guns, and room for 5 extra people. Bozer is basically a social manipulator/mindfuck. Not great in a stand-up fight, but he can bust out some serious mental juju if he can get people talking.

Right

So the boat should be a distraction and hit and fade only so as not get blown up.
Bozer and Smith should hold back with Doc, and move in to interrogate survivors once the fighting stops.

So looking forward to this! :v:

i'm thinking that wombat and smith can alter the direction of their research into making a sweet brain amp, hook it up to the van, and then with someone at the front lines holding the brain relay and a super-dense hotbox in the van we can drop some serious brain bombs on all PwrGas! fuckos

That sounds sick!
Also my wording was awkward in that I suggested Smith stay back with Doc and while Doc does her thing, you do yours with whoever we capture, etc. Not that you should tend the wounded.

At least Luka's vocabulistics isn't limited to I and AM and GROOT, exclusively in that order. :v:

So I'll have the specifics of building the Brain Cannon(tm) in the IC post tonight, but I figured I'd put up how it would work here.

First, its powered by JJ's antenna, so an augury roll will be required, for the • Isolate and contain a fragment of the world’s psychic maelstrom itself effect. The modifiers chosen will determine things like will someone have to actively maintain the effect or will there be enough bleed to maybe attract weirdos.

Then, someone hooked to the device makes psychic attack moves. These moves gain the Area tag, and the area involved is understood to be kinda big. Please note though: sufficient amounts of tinfoil will negate the ap tag for these attacks.

That sound reasonable to folks?




On a completely different subject, a Queenie (ie the Bay jingle):

Hey Mr. Prokosch, Old Cotter is trying to pinch all the pennies/Queenies he can. If JJ really wants to try and get something extra, I'm gonna need a Manipulate. 'Do you want me to make a superweapon or nor' is sufficient leverage.

So do you mean I have 2 barter now? odd. I miscounted.


Hmm, I may have not been the clearest.

'Please come to my time-share salespitch pitch to assault PwrGas!: 1-barter in jingle or market trade

'You're going to storm the castle/power plant? Ok, your pay is:'
-1-barter in jingle in advance, for expenses
-permission to snag loot during the assault (value depends on what you find)
-equal shares of the go-juice stockpile (value depends on how may folks are left to claim it)


So yes, everyone who came to the presentation and agreed to fight/assist is 2-barter richer. And yes, this is alot of resources for Gozo to be throwing around.
