Mostly same plan as @Fanhunter696 but switching out the marksmanship option with investigation since we really need to start hiring people since it's honestly getting ridiculous that we haven't done so yet. Also being it's just common sense to have people so that we can people to actually make stuff to sell. Also investigation skills just make sense if we are hunting Nazis for obvious reasons.

Also removed the pray action since I'd rather we have the 20+ bonus when doing things like hunting Nazis while having next to no self defense and investigation skills.

Ok, but slippery slope argument is not necessarily true. I want to focus on medicine this turn as this is our literal only source of income so I want to make sure it's good before we focus on punching people in the face. Like the reason I want to only focus on our medicine this turn is so we don't have to focus on it later. If we get it up and running now we can do other things

I've literally seen what was supposed to be a superhero quest become a business quest because people focused on business too much that the QM lost interest because of it IIRC. My point is that it doesn't really matter if you use the 'just this turn' argument since even if you aren't thinking about doing so someone else might and if that persons plans win than that's contributing to the issue.

Also we are actually very good at medicine with a 4/5 being extremely good for us in-story being presented as extremely skilled.

The 'focusing on it now' argument also doesn't make sense when you remember that our power is literally learn any ability. You are using the argument that we should raise all our skills to the highest level which means spending entire turns on things like cars or planes or electronics. Hence why I'm strongly suggesting against that reasoning for hyper focusing on research and to discourage others from doing so.

Wait, wait, what? How are we supposed to be a superhero, and more importantly, develop as a superhero if we don't invest in a wide variety of subjects?

We have already invested into a lot of skills. In fact our main advantage is being able to become good in a lot of things with not much training. We may never be as good as a Stark when it comes to inventing but we make up for by being good in numerous other things. Also there is a difference between training skills and trying to get 100 percent completion for them. Because by gaming terms trying to get 100 percent completion in a game is not really necessary to succeed and in fact can be tedious to try.

Also we just need to not take all the actions to get that 20+ bonus. What the actions are are irrelevant.

But profit roll will suffer a -120 to it's roll due to… a not so good ad.

I was really hoping this would give us a product to sell. *sigh* Well, at least we got something useful out of it.

"No, otherwise we would have made a better advertisement."

[X] Vetting Process
-[X]Contracts Galore: Your company is a startup, without any reputation. Perhaps it would be best to gain some contacts by being a middle man for a while.
-[X]Develop Medicine: You are going to need to start experimenting with something (Cost 5,000 Marks) (Write in what vague idea you wish to start developing, like say, a flu vaccine, a malaria treatment, or something like that)
--[X]Flu Vaccine
-[X]Operation Eir: You wish to help Father and Erik with hunting the last of the Nazi Scum in Germany.
-[X]Learn a New Skill: You want to learn something useful (Write in Skill you wish to learn and line tail below)
--[X]Hand-to-Hand Combat: It would be a good idea to learn how to defend yourself in case you get into a scrap of some sort.
--[X]Investigation
--[X]Human Relations

Reasoning:

Contracts Galore: After the disaster that was our attempt at advertising (which I take full responsibility for), I think it would be a good idea to do this to hopefully counteract at least some of the penalty to our profit roll.

Flu Vaccine: Mostly going for this for dignity's sake. That aside, we do need a product.

Operation Eir: It's Hero Time!

Hand-to-Hand: We need to be able to actually defend ourself when we're being a hero.

Investigation and Human Relations: I want to be able to vet our employees next Turn, so doing both of these now.

Honorable Mention: I would've liked to also get Stealth to better handle Operation Eir, but I also want to save an Action for the +20.

@Magoose, regarding the bonus from having an action leftover, does that apply between categories? For example, does having spare Company Actions give a bonus to our regular Actions, or is it same category only?

Considering I roll a d500 for the profit roll?

And it's going to be some where in the millions of dollars…

Going to need to work on that mate.

I should have been clearer, but the extra action bonus is for the same category only.

Man loot at the pharmaceutical market... Viagra is the most profitable legal drug ever created and the Pharmaceutical Companies are investing billions in Halopecia treatments for a good reason... And I don´t think that creating a treatment for those problems is in any way undignified...
 
Depends, how much do we expect Germany to rise in population this year? Also gonna set the tone of the word "Future" (heh) a lot since the pitch was saving lives and changing the world.

Kinda just the flavor text of the viagra thing, the kid's 12, more profit-oriented than I'd like and I'm not convinced the QM will adjust to reflect the difference the revenue from a flu vaccine to viagra. Went for Malaria cause it's really the first thing I'd feel an optimist would like to help with. Copped the rest from above though. Also we don't really have plans for millions of dough.

Are 2000s medicinal-illegal drugs outlawed yet? We can spearhead and get the monopoly as its face if not.

JFC, saving the brand? Really? What is it with people making such a big deal about viagra? It's literally meant to treat an actual medical issue in people. It makes billions of dollars and thus is one of the easiest ways to make money that is also harmless while helping people with real issues. It's also just going to be one of the many things we are going to be making alongside that Aspirin like medicine we currently have.

As for the guy being 12 the hell that has to do with anything? He's not taking them himself and most certainly has no plans to do anything that would require so anytime soon. Besides he could have easily come up with the idea by going around and asking patients about what kind of medicine they would be willing to buy.

Yeah, I don´t why are people so uncomfortable with this... I mean erectile dysfunction is a real problem which affects millions of men , an a treatment for that is totally legitimate and ethical way of earning money... I mean is is not as if we were releasing OxyContin to the general public.

And people should remember that even if Heinrich is still 13 he is also an extremely gifted doctor... So he has to know perfectly how human reproduction works, and many of the ailments related to it... You are not destroying his innocence and he is WAAAY past "The Birds and the Bees" phase.

I find it ridiculous and hilarious that that is a thing considering that at 8 years old Heinrich was part of a conspiracy to murder numerous people and even helped murder said people by building the bomb that would do so. That on top of hunting down Nazis.

He's also a holocaust survivor (albite one that was not subject to the horrors of the concentration, or death camps)

Plus he's entirely doing it to help people.

Why should he be freaked out by the fact that hey, men need meds to help them fuck?

And top that with being a human Guinea Pig for months (maybe years), being a survivors from Dachau, and having to dig up himself out of a mass grave after he was shot in the head.

Yeah, because he was shot in the head a couple of hours after arrival, I don't think that is much of a consolation for him or anyone else.

I don't really know... That is why I am frankly surprised with the reaction of certain plan-makers to releasing a pretty harmless vasodilator.
