Should I pick Lunarshade magic, or Child Eating Spiders magic?Currently split between Lunarshade and Child Eating Spiders, both seem like such good options
So @Spore , could I use a Magic 1 card to start a cult or would that be a charisma 1 card?
Omake Awards are little bonuses that some quests give if you write some neat drabble of fiction based off the quest or draw a neat picture
Pretty much what Darf said. Omakes are additional content made by the readers that sometimes results in bonuses to dice or other rewards.
Set up a space x competitor, prepare safe huge-shadow casting, start rockets under reduced gravity to massively save on fuel costs.Both can have some very interesting uses, Lunarshade offers a larger variety of effects and could be used for pretty clever ideas, such as having a light shine behind me at a very high spot and have my shadow cover a large area to make enemies below float, push an enemy into my shadow and turn the sleeve of their shirt into solid moonrock, maybe the arm too, set up a bunch of dangerous chemicals in buckets as a trap and use the nearby tide controlling effect to splash them onto enemies if they get too close
Can the spiders also lay eggs into their victims?But the Child Eating Spiders magic feels like it has more style, imagine it, 2 enemies are infiltrating headquarters, and in the back of a room they spy a friendly looking humanoid figure in the dark of some backroom, they fire a shot into it's chest, it doesn't go down, it starts running forward, the bullets make splinters fly through the air, it reaches them, grabbing the pair are grabbed by their necks, revealing that the figure was in fact a toy, but what was making it move?
Then it opens it's mouth, it's countless tiny pilots, many strange spiders, they all come crawling out and onto the intruders, feasting upon their flesh
If a real spider can do it the ones made with this magic could

I even have a backstory set up for why my shareholder has that magic, not anything supernatural just that the backstory thematically matches the magic
I refuseEdit: Although maybe we can give it a more classy name than child eating spiders?
That looks interesting, a full shareholder action (share of company funds rather than 1 card) of creating an altar/monument (as a focal point represinting the concept) and prayer/sacrifice) could work to birth a new god.Shareholder SolAnon was more focused on trying to link the power of devotion and magic to the company seal. The sheer focus on trying to catch the power of the divine and channel it into our company mascot via prayer and animal sacrifice did prove some results even if not many.
Prayer barely worked, we are unsure if this is due to the low amount of people we are able to get praying to a picture of a seal or the lack of devotion behind the act. Some researchers wonder if praying to a plushie or statue or a trinket of our company mascot would provide more easily trackable results instead of praying to an overall concept.
The animal sacrifices interestingly enough did provide some results, by following traditional methods of preparing an animal for sacrifice and giving up the entire corpse to the idea of our company mascot would result in a surge of trackable divine energy however small that surge is that would quickly disappear into the local area. Intent seems to play a big role in the release of energy as we found out that sacrificing the animal with plans to use the meat later for another purpose would cause no divine energy to be released, we had to truly give up the animal in full and let it rot away or burn away in total with no personal gain for ourselves or community.
Lack of prayer/sacrifice in general making him less than the generally venerated gods (who'd then have a ton more "divine mana" to throw around)?[] Odin watches us and yet compared to the other godly actions on this planet, a few mocking crows seems like nothing to super soldiers or moving armies of stone… Why is he so weak?
Hmmm... Was the kidnapped scientist turned into a crow?[] One of the crows seems to be wearing a pair of glasses that belonged to that kidnapped scientist, How strange!
Ooo, company pantheon, neat
Added a subpoint to Divinity department so it explicitly also supports cults, not just gods.[X] Play as many cards as you want and redraw up to max hand size.
-[X] Magic 1 / Magic 1 : Try and learn more about the divine and how to manipulate divine energy, work closely with the Divinity Department for that.
-[X] Movement 1 : Travel trough the current region to try and find places of interest.
Sounds like something the general part of the Divinity department ought to do.Ooo, company pantheon, neat
Maybe there could be some employee incentive for worship of said pantheon, a paid leave raffle or something? Easy prep, get some kinda app or find a website that spins a wheel randomly, add the names of all regular worshippers in the company, increase the size of their part of the wheel the more devotion they offer to the company pantheon
Nothing big, just enough incentive for people to try, maybe they'll enjoy it
Dont forget the shrine to Uncle Sam from last turn if you're doing this. T'was made, may as well not go to waste.That looks interesting, a full shareholder action (share of company funds rather than 1 card) of creating an altar/monument (as a focal point represinting the concept) and prayer/sacrifice) could work to birth a new god.

[X] Plan: Create the Divinity Department, its first part specializing into Odin (including an altar for worship), add Odin to the pantheon of the company, and make initial sacrifices.
-[X] The Divinity departments tasks are threefold:
--[X] Find out what we can do for the respective gods (known examples: prayer, sacrifice)
--[X] Find out what the respective god can do for us and under what circumstances/conditions they are willing to do so.
--[X] Help other parts of the company work with the respective divine (advice on where/how the divine is likely to help, organize correct prayer + sacrifice, rites, etc.).
--[X] Also supports forays into magic/divine energy that aren't god oriented, like cults or direct use of divine energy
-[X] With one of the animal sacrifices, test out if feeding the meat of the sacrifice to the murder of crows is valid. (More divine energy? Less? Completely invalidated?)
-[X] Make sure the Altar has perching places for ravens/crows.
So many things to do/try, I think this turn I'll try this.
Doing Odin this turn and then intend to either follow up with more Odin stuff (if fitting hooks come up) or create a PMC to start positioning us as post-shattering-weirdness solvers. Maybe buy ourselves into companies whose stockprice is supressed by shattering issues we can fix (to enjoy profitable subsidiaries once the issues are fixed).Dont forget the shrine to Uncle Sam from last turn if you're doing this.

Twas me. Go nuts.And I don't wanna mess with the inactive altar to not disturb the projects of whoever made it.
