A good point to say thanks for running this! I guess at the moment it's pretty much just base Pandemic but I'm eager to see wonky poo poo hit.

There's disease upgrades for diseases you eradicated, then a bunch of 1-off upgrades that people can grab for characters. Also permanent research stations that you get to start with at the beginning of the game. Source: I own the game but haven't actually gotten to play it yet.

The rules aren't quite clear because with the physical game you get this big thing of stickers and that has all your upgrades on it  Out of all of them you as a group decide which 2 you want to take. I'm sure Samurai is going to do a whole post with what everything is eventually so that's all i'll say about it.But what is interesting to note is that since you guys managed to eradicate black, you also have the option of applying one of your upgrades to it to make it easier to cure for the next games going forward. It goes in ascending order so for now you can only put the first upgrade on there, but if you're lucky enough to keep eradicating it every game you can eventually make it super easy to cure. e:beat to the punch!

Oh, I’ve found a picture of the sticker upgrade. So, after you finish a game of P:L, a few things happen: If you’ve lost the first game of a month (January in our case), you have a second go at it. In this case, Blue would still be COdA, with all the consequences. If you lose it a second time, you move to the next month. If you win the month on the first try, you move to the next month as well. Winning a game also means that you have things under control, and thus the WWO or whomever gives you 2 less Funded Events for the next game. If you lose, you get two more. So we’ll start February with only 2 Funded Events in the Player Deck. Finally, each finished game lets you pick two upgrades from this list: Positive Mutations Only for diseases that you have eradicated in this game. Positive Mutations must be upgraded in order (i.e. you can’t place a level 4 mutation before placing levels 1, 2 and 3 first)
Character Upgrades You can place up to two upgrades in a character. Only characters used in the just-finished game can be upgraded. You can cover an already-placed upgrade with another one. Only one of each upgrade is available.
Research Stations You can use one of your upgrades to mark a city that has finished the game with a Research Station with a sticker, like the one printed in the map in Atlanta. Each game will start with a Research Station there, unless the city is Rioting or worse. Unfunded Events A bit tricky: you can select a Player City Card and add a sticker with an Event to it. These don’t count against the limit of Funded Events that get added to the deck at the start of the game. You can use the card like normal (for travelling, researching a cure, etc…) or for the event (these don’t cost an action, like a normal Event). 1 of each available.
Discuss the upgrades you'd like, please. Fat Samurai fucked around with this message at 18:44 on Aug 8, 2016 |

I think Common structure is too good a card to pass up. Making red super easy to eradicate would be nice. An additional research station might be nice to have. Saves us a card and we get that additional mobility. Giving the scientist archive access might be a good idea as well. Let's Jedit or whoever is playing it work on two cures simultaneously. I can see giving Some Numbers local connections though, turning the medic into Supermedic. berenzen fucked around with this message at 11:51 on Aug 8, 2016 |

Agreed on Common Structure, I think. I would rather have a super-Medic than a better Scientist. The Scientist can already work on two cures at once, if he can cure a disease on the same turn as getting his fourth card for the set. That will be easy for Red if we take Common Structure and not too hard for the others. One other possibility is Pilot. Being able to teleport to a city and either build a research station on it or hand the card directly to somebody has a lot of potential.

Yeah, Common Structure. I tend to value movement more than anything else - I'd almost argue that a new permanent research facility would be a great idea, not least because Atlanta's at 1 panic, though where to put it is a really good question. I kind of wish the upgrades were more character-specific and played into their unique moves. Oh well.

Definitely in for Common Structure. I'm fine with both super-Medic and Pilot. Super-Medic would have been very very useful this last game. A new Research Station in the red or black area is also a great idea.

Note that the research station sticker is only for ones that exist at game end, i.e. that you've built during this game.

Yeah, it's logical. Everything you upgrade affects stuff you've used/done in the game. Diseases you've eradicated, Roles used, etc... So far it seems Common Structure is a clear winner. I'll wait a bit to see if someone has any other suggestion and the put the second one to a vote, so we can start February tomorrow. This is in no way an attempt to move away from the topic of me being dumb

Get the Pilot upgrade for the Dispatcher. It allows the Dispatcher the move other people with the Dispatcher's cards and enable more card hand off shenanigans.

I see no more suggestions, so it seems the players will go with Common Structure for sure and one of Medic-Local Connections, Dispatcher-Pilot, Research Station-Delhi or Lagos. Also, roll call for February. Random.org tells me that Alris, Electric Hobo, StashAugustine and David Valkri are our next players. Finally, I'm sick of calling it the Red Disease. Suggestions in the thread were: Xelkelvos posted:Suggestions: Stelas posted:The Red Tide Jedit posted:Set Meal For 4 Persons. I'm going to type it quite often, try to be nice. Old Players: Vote on the name of the disease and the second upgrade New Players: Say something.

I'm on board for ringworm of fire. I think the research station in Delhi is also good, simply for mobility. Dispatcher-pilot might be good for the following level up though.

Don't worry, naming diseases and deciding on other upgrades were easily the longest decisions of the campaign.

My group didn't know eradication meant we got to name the diseases. We've just been naming them as it's felt right.

I've poked Mr. Hobo, if I don't hear anything Xelkelvos will have his spot. Red Disease has been christened as Ringworm of Fire. Still waiting for a definite second upgrade.
