I doubt anything reasonably referred to as power armor could fit under street clothes.

He might be able to get some really good additional unpowered armor though, something like what we wear.

As to convincing him - what does it matter right now (and within the next day or so) if he believes this to be a NeverNever realm, rather than the acausally created manifestation of Molly's soul? He'll learn in due time and with additional research.

It doesn't really matter other than it being a good opportunity since he's here right now and hasn't had long to get stubborn about his assumptions yet.

If we don't we don't, but if we have an opportunity to play with our new toys - for example during the new speech - it might resolve the issue for us.

Instant sobriety (there are probably anti-venom versions too), multi-tasking, and internet /database connection implants would be damn useful for him.

And yeah, home appliances too.

I mean not without actual information given to him. So I want to know how also I'll admit it my pride I want him to know. I want him to believe. I want him to know we just cured a 100 million of cancer, created a world, can control the land, and that this isn't the nevernever.
 
So what position do we give Usum in all this? If he walking around we might as well put him to work.
 
Many of the people here are human enough for him to soulgaze, which wouldn't likely be the case if this were the Nevernever. ("So you found a gigantic realm in the Nevernever with a LOT of changelings...")

thats not what changelings are but yeah fair point. Also the fact that if this was the nevernever humans would die eventually.

If he can be here when we can't having him explore and send back reports could be helpful. I'd prefer to see all the cool things ourselves, but getting a feel for the culture and politics via demonic subsoul wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

We could meet him for lunch a couple times a week to eat weird food and hear stories about how people in the FFCF are doing.

In the canon Dresdenverse at least you can reach other material parallel worlds through the Nevernever. His Earth is just one of many.

Eh I'm fairly sure they have their own nevernevers since butcher is literally going to write a parallel reality book next. Asides thats not canon here. But, even if its to reach said places there's no way there's just one nevernever mab isn't a multidimensional being but those dimensions have alternate versions of fae.

Maybe, but there have to be practical limits to scale. A billion people without a doubt in their hearts is a lot to ask for, and logistically is probably the largest event ever organized by anyone.

Having to fix how essence generation works for worshipping someone is the limit. If we had 2E cult rules going 5 billion is enough to grant 9-10 dot cult. That is you regen a essence point per round, or more.
 
@DragonParadox : Can we now summon cyberdevils from our own hell? Which is to say ones that aren't just perfectly loyal, but socialized and not made out of malice.

    -[x][Stunt]You know how the Scholars of the City of Scrolls call this world Sanctuary? Well the outside world is very dangerous place where people die the final death just by being killed. When I created this world it was with the idea of making the safest place possible and I have reason to think that I succeeded.

I think we should save the explanation of earth when we can bring reference materials with us, like maps or a consolidated database.
 
So on the to do list put build a semi larger supercomputer load it up with information on earth and bring it into the hell. Both to serve as data dump for the people, and to task it with creating transfer protocols between Earth computers and Hell computers.

Guys, this is Harry Dresden. Our world is advanced enough to have some variety of lightsaber. Get that man a lightsaber.

Unless we give him the force he'd probably lose a hand, and as a wizard he really wants to avoid melee anyway.

They exist, but I don't think they were ever explicitly made accessible via the nevernever. The instances are sandboxed basically, you need to be something like an Angel to cross the borders.

True. While I used 1% of theoretical peak efficiency, rules for rituals involving billion(s) of people have to be different.

Honestly I'm more interested in the "small scale" stuff.

Full adventures in our hell would take a lot of screen time, but if the first three levels of prayer eating have an advantageous interaction with our hell we could get something a lot less IC and OOC time consuming that still lets us interact with it.

Specifically by advantageous interaction I mean the range limit falling off because the people praying are technically inside Molly's soul, and the weirdness for the visual check with no range that works across dimensions getting a similar flexible interpretation that lets us peak at worshippers in the same circumstance.

Then we could have Molly spend a few hours a week meditating to answer prayers, and background most of them with the exception of little flavor snippets that show snapshots of the life and trials of various people in the FFCF as we help them via fate manipulation.
