I said it back somewhere in turn 1 after you guys managed to get 2AP in one turn. I'll add it to mechanics later.


Metahumans are everywhere in the world. Horizon just has the highest per capita by FAR.

The only other hero team was SLAYERS and they all died.

"Criminal" is a fuzzy term in Horizon. Most metahumans are mercenaries. The ones bad enough to get Wonderland'd and deserve it? Not too many, but they are TOUGH and have an outsized impact given their numbers.
BTW if we kill the Ambushers in 4 seasons meeting will it just be considered fair play? Considering the trap is likely meant to kill off JU last members. Granted it could be just presganging Leizi to Powers but considering chnace of Metahuman dna its probably a murder plot that we need to respond in kind.

2) A new metahuman at this stage means +1 AP until you're at AP 5, where you will need two new metahumans for a new AP point.
Alright I just found it.

Let's out a big sigh and looks at all his posts so far
I'm still voting for Scarlet Fraud as should it go through (as unlikely as it currently is), it will give us +2 AP and +1 Global for next turn to prepare.
This entire time I've been working under the wrong assumption! Arrrggghh!

Slumps over

@Bitterman, thanks so much for that thread mark! I'll be updating it Sunday, once I've got my quest chapters done.

I'm planning on adding another category I forgot on our first go around— combos that we the voters have extensively discussed. Both versions of Sir Suffering, Wade Family, and Memoria+Red Huntress are the first ones.

Anybody have any other combos I should be storing for later on the Corkboard? I was thinking of adding Chimera, but it's realistically going to be outdated thanks to new metahuman dna by the time we get another 10 Tolerance candidate.

Throw it in and Metamorph. I had a cool idea for those ones.
 
Hmmmm, this is me mulling stuff over hypotheticals but since JU was branched off from New Dawn when they were NuGen, how separately did they act from New Dawn at the time? I assumed they were probably being monitored for progress but did they have their own zones and base somewhere in the University District?
 
Hmmm ehh, what the heck. I think I made a plan ehen we were making Monas Black Swan combo... well I made it andLucidpop checked it and made a better one... lets see... aha! Dont Know if It basically makes a Worse version of Rhys (original had red huntress as a candidate for dna), but i think this is probably better. Hmmm, If I remember right this was when we were more looking for as many words as possible imstead of sinergies... will definitly change once we come around to another Ambrosia turn, since ya know more DNA samples, Money and tolerance levels.

My original plan= Astral Chains

[The Red Huntress] (6 POTENCY)
[Adamant] (3 POTENCY)
[Dragonsteeth] (3 POTENCY)
POTENCY REDUCTIONS (-2 POTENCY)
TOTAL POTENCY OF DOSE: 10

Rework Lucid version:

Astral Chains
  • Potency 4 (Outsider) + Potency 3 (Dragonsteeth) + Potency 3 (Adamant) + Potency 1 (Daggermaw) + Potency 1 (Soldier X) - 2 Potency = 10 Potency
    • 3x Transformation (Outsider, Adamant, Daggermaw)
    • 2x Energy Manipulation (Outsider, Dragonsteeth)
    • 2x Enhanced Strength (Adamant, Daggermaw)
    • 2x Regeneration (Adamant, Soldier X)
    • 1x Invisibility (Outsider)
    • 1x Construct Creation (Dragonsteeth)
    • 1x Enhanced Senses (Daggermaw)
    • 1x Fitness (Soldier X)
 
See, here I thought the process for how powers manifest was like, something along the lines of:

-Vote's locked in for the mix
-You take all the keywords, prepare an amount of slots that depend on Potency
-Use a random generator to pick keywords until all slots are filled
-Find Synergies you had already decided on in the chosen keywords
-Create the final powerset, including rolling for the side effect

That will be answered in a back issue! The answer is: they were more independent than they were supposed to be!

honestly I think you can remove daggermaw and replace it with Soprano since daggermaw doesnt really give anything apart from lizard as power and you really get biokinesis with outsider+adamant+soldier

Check tally and look at the names
Also thansk for vote.

That is giving me waaaaaay too much credit. I start with what characters are in the DNA mix and what the most commonly expressed traits are and what synergies you've found to decide what must be in the power set. I think about the powers would interact in combination with your expressed goal for the character and then try to make it something that will be interesting to write.

It's still interesting to hear your creative process! It's just more instinctual than I anticipated.

Number one thing is that it's gotta be fun for me to write. If I auto-generate something boring, I'm just gonna ignore the results anyhow. May as well treat it as a prompt and make it fun for everyone.
Ah yes, our patented secret Quest Writer Writing Process™️

  2. Set up Big Plot Points

  5. Oh fuck, the dice
  6. ???
  7. Profit and get a legion of engaged voters
I believe that any Ambrosia scene falls between 4-5.

Can my Bulletproof plan be saved? It got decent support and I think it would be good for a low-Tolerance brawler.

Hmm Bulletproof might edition gives us Autobiokinesie + Invulnerability atleast so its a good plan for a bruiser. If boost the candidate to 6 Tolerance which I consider the sweet spoot for Low Tolerance candidate since it can give us a Strong Hero depending on combo while only risking minor side effects.

Crimson Soprano is a decent addition, though I think 2P hero which strong melee powers is better hopefully we can get great new DNA from the missions were taking. If we bring in wulong to prometheos we can atleast have an easier time getting dna from new dawn.

That said I wonder what price wulong will ask for his help. At the top of my head giving a Candidate of their choice ambrosia is the most obvious since I doubt we would sell how exactly to make ambrosia to him.
