We've only been reaping rewards so far, but how good is Dennises new trait, on balance? It applies the effects of Joking Around to the Quest Leader, and by consequence, almost all rolls on a quest. The trait makes it so that on near-impossible rolls, Dennis might snatch a victory from the jaws of defeat, but on automatic passes, it adds an unpredictable element of risk.

That, plus Kung Fool (which I will note, is currently missing from his sheet) makes me believe is Dennis better suited as a filler for high-difficulty quests.

It's pretty balanced all things considered, these joking around type rules are better on quest do to how quest tend to average out compared to normal rolls.

A few questions regarding Smarty.


1) We've had it described to us in the past that Smarty is best for corporate related stewardship actions, with a buy out being the best example. With buy outs now being a corporate action, can we still use Smarty on them? If unable to answer, is the answer to this question something we would have to do market research first to discover?

2) We've also had it described "For anything he's willing to work with you on, you can assume you won't need to dip into your Income pile", does this mean we could do a buyout with no funds or reduced funds than if we had done it by ourselves?

I think what the best use of Smarty for us could be, is to do the market research corporate action ourselves this upcoming turn on the west coast, and then the turn after next turn do a buyout on one of the West Coast companies that get unlocked. I would go with Davenport Industries if they are an option as they would combo extremely well with the collab we just did with Sycorax, allowing us to mass manufacture the high-tech cybernetics that we just had a hand in designing. The potential that it could have for New Men seems incredible. Plus, the potential of getting Douglas Davenport as a hero unit seems incredible.

What are some ways we can deal with Negaduck? Besides hitting him with an industrial amount of Dip, assuming he hasn't worked out a way to survive it at least once.

The ODI and stranding him in an empty world can work for a while, even if by the laws of narrative that means he'll be back eventually.

Potentially Impel Duck if we can trust Glomgold to spend a gazillion dollars into it.

Somehow bring Darkwing Duck back so he has an equal again to stay busy with.

Incredible amounts of violence?

Bill Cipher? (Not serious, but warping reality at him could work.)

I dunno, getting a projector or three and reels that says The End on them and aiming them at him, Bendy and The Ink Machine style? This one is just a bullshit answer but I guess weaponizing the end of the show against a toon could theoretically work?

So, to elaborate: Douglas Davenport is basically Doof for Cybernetics. Both in ability and personality. he really likes the thought of being an evil scientist, and he's actually really good at it! But he's also kinda naive, and petty in the same way Doof is later in P&F.

In the first season Douglas is the main antagonist because his brother stole his supersoldiers and decided to join the government with them as super soldiers. So he built a new super soldier (who was evil and kind of a dick) and basically beat his brother in every single way and only the power of friendship and his new Step-nephew beat him.

Then he moves in with his bother like Doof does with Milo in Milo Murphy's law. Basically imagine what Doof does in that series and you have Douglas Davenport post reforming, with ocassional backslides because of Krane, a sinister mastermind who wants to take over the world with teenaged bionic supersoldiers. That plan is probably something we wanna stop too (because canonically Krane wins until the power of friendship beats him), and Buying Davenport Industries will probably derail it.

Douglas Davenport is the Cybernetics Specialist. You want superpowers? Douglas Davenport gives you Justice League Level superpowers. Super speed, Super durability, Super Strength, Laser Eyes, forcefield balls (that can be launched like kamehamehas), mental computer hacking, levitation and Laser sword fists... all in the same cybernetic implant. And that's not even all the abilities he can cram in there.

He also basically pulled off an infiltration mission against Jeff Bezos (his brother has access to a ton of metadata from his phone business) and completely blindsided him. He's also pretty good at running a company and keeping a plan together. We're talking High Learning and High Intrigue with reasonably high stewardship. And again, can give kids a dozen fucking superpowers, all of which work perfectly as long as you listen to his warnings and comply with them. And he's pretty diligent about giving those warnings too.

If we have a chance at Douglas Davenort? he's one of the best pulls we can grab in this setting. Friendly, loyal, easy to work with, brilliant, and funny. He's basically another Jumba, but Cybernetics instead of Genetics.

He'd Combo really well with Janus and Jumba, in scenes. But he'd also get along with Doof, Fred, TECHNOR, and Cruella.

...Heroball? Actually, now that I think about it, once the year is up and Janus can be taken off the Council, who's up for heroballing him with Jumba? Not sure who would replace him, admitley, and there's a risk of reduced loyalty, but, Janus's Stewardship score is kinda mid and I imagine he might actually relish the chance to focus on his research. Actually...@Made in Heaven would Kermit be an option next time we're picking people for the Council? Way better Stewardship then Janus, and I feel like he'd serve a similar role as Janus fills (IE voice of common sense) with less...Assholistic tendencies. Plus, he has more then his fair share of experience helping quirky people not fall into "too quirky to function" and, if we're planning to push further into media, he could probably give us some tips.

i have a question about Mirages personals. sorry if this is the wrong way to ask questions and or if they are badly phrased.

specifically two of mirages personals. the first renew olymnpia contacts. her progress bar personal that reduces olympia infiltration and colab dcs and tells us more about what they are up to. does the benefic change at all seeing as we are allied or does it remain in it's current state?

the second is her recruit a hero personal. 50% chance to recruit a random hero from the rolodex.
i have multiple questions about it but mostly what part of the rolodex. does it pull from our recruitment list or from the entire rolodex of free heroes?

the second is how random is it/why is it random. becouse i'm going to be honest, it feels odd. i get that it is a bit for balance but a 50% chance for a completely random hero unit is just not really viable. it doesn't really sound like Mirage either.

i don't think Mirage would ever hire someone like fred or rubber chicken and i don't really see how it would work in story if she rolled people like them.

I mean, Doof is a pretty high tier dad. Davenport's no Genma Saotome. For one of his kids he's a bit of a Gendo Ikari. But generally he's like Tim Taylor level of Dad; lets kids play with dangerous power tools with minimal supervision after warnings, kinda neglectful, really mostly concentrates on his own interests, but sometimes, oddly caring and nice.

I was referring more to stuff like his desire to mind control politicians, or his urging for us to produce and sell robot slaves because anything else would be a "waste". Plus, look at it this way: He'd be able to do far more work on the New Man project if he got more then two PAs a year.

I mean, if we couldn't get bad hero units off of it, that would kinda defeat the point. Also, as for the Olympia thing...We may be alllies, but knowing more about how the company works is still useful.

I feel Janus is sort of needed to balance out the council writingwise. He's a businessman and is unironically the most likely to give suggestions.

Moreover, I feel the big thing with Janus is that rushing the New Man Project aint to important, especially since Jumba is able to do said actions. I'd like to see him try to bond with his coworkers at least once more, since it would help him develop.

I legit feel it's bad for Janus' character development to get replaced as CFO unless he legit makes a huge mistake.
