Turn 99 Results (August-September 1982)
-[X]Meanwhile: Mike looked at several things and papers, and all you could see is his notes. The man was going to kill himself with all the work. DC: 45 Rolled:
D100 => 94
You looked at Mike and looked at the notes, the man had been working nonstop for films, and ideas for TV shows, for almost a month, and you could see it was finally getting to him, and an intervention was in order.
Well, that and you wanted to get the man to actually go home. He deserved so much more.
"Mike, as your boss, I am ordering you to go home for the next few days."
"The hell I am." He replied.
"No, you are." You ordered. "You want to know why. Because you are losing your edge."
That made Mike stop. "What?"
"I just said it." You replied. "You are losing your edge, and I can't have you screwing anything up by you not being good enough for the damn job. And I know you're better than the screw-ups that got you."
At that, Mike realized what you were saying and sat down on his desk. "Dammit."
Reward: You have prevented Mike from having a mental breakdown, and losing him for a few turns.
New Actions Available.

-[X]So a Side Story Star Wars Film: Mike finally got the news that he can make that Star Wars Film… but honestly, you don't even know what to do, or what the hell to even try. But you might try it? DC:???
--[X]Director: Irvin Kershner Rolled:
D100 => 45
--[X] Producer: Ian Bryce Rolled:
D100 => 85
To be honest, you didn't think it was even possible to get a director. Bryce was easy, Steve just called in a favor, but Kershner was difficult. And it was almost a failure until he saw that you were asking for him personally.
"You are the one person who understands that the story telling needed to make a sequel not only fine but superior in every way to George's original." And the man then basically signed on, because in his words. "George would never forgive me if I said no."
Reward: The Production begins.
--------------------------------------------------------
-[X]Last Summer Run: Ron Howards Debut, and now you want to see just how good your friend has gotten as a director. DC: ??? Rolled:
D100 + 20 => 95
You think it beat the Thing.
Maybe because Brandon was in it.
But maybe and just maybe, Ron was talented as hell.
Continued in Last Summer Run

-[X]The New Blood: So... Who wants to work for Lucasfilms? DC:???
--[X]Director Rolled:
D100 => 16
--[X]Producer Rolled:
D100 => 28
You were gone, but you didn't get to see them.

Failure

-[X]An Offer: So Grace Kelly… Ehem, the Princess Consort of Monaco has invited you to train her family in martial arts, as well as giving you a vacation away from Hollywood. Plus she also has something to… offer. DC: 40 Rolled:
D100 => 100
Special Event Roll:
D100 => 93
So that was… God dammit, you hate it when you get sucked into intrigues that you want no part in.
Carrie Agreed. Mostly because royal celebrity culture was far different than… the regular celebrity culture.
But hey you solved a problem for them, their kids and staff love you, and well...
Why the hell were you the one having to save peoples lives! You thought you had enough of saving people after MASH.

-[X]A Stupid Panic: You want to look at the people who are raising a stink about the Satanic panic, and the Drug dealers and dumbasses… and look them in the eyes and tell them they are bad parents. Because everything they say, just makes you feel sick. DC:??? Rolled:
D100 => 1+30=31
You wanted so badly to make the moral guardians and the other idiots, particularly the insane religious fanatics who thought that kids having fun and wanting to understand the world, as well as fighting monsters with dice rolls and having adventures to deepen their friendships.
It was impossible to really want to stress it. Also, you really wanted to stress that, while evil existed, you knew that with proper parenting, open-mindedness, and if those who were inclined to believe, in the grace of the Lord, any challenge could be overcome. And something as silly as satanic cults was utterly insane.
That was your first mistake, because anyone who claimed otherwise, was going insane.
And every time you wanted to defend yourself, the idiots and your enemies, seem to take it far… far… far too far.
You honestly, couldn't even begin to believe that you were even at the point, because they were trying to smear you. They had no choice, they were idiots who seemed to think you were Satan himself. Some even call you the devil in disguise, harping on about morals when you had none. The old American anti-catholic mindset, one that you had hoped was a very long-buried conceit since Kennedy came rearing its very ugly head…
And it wasn't just the anti-catholic. The antisemitic crowds, the anti-Mormons, and other evil people were seemingly given confidence or just got angered enough to reveal themselves. The people who thought that anyone not like Them… whatever the fuck that meant… needed to be changed to their way.
Or be exiled. That meant even something as simple as a game with friends, battling monsters and being heroes, villains, or anyone in between… was simply a way for satan to win.
And they would take that away, or do something far worse.
You didn't know, but you think it's going to get worse before it gets better.
And you pray for them.
Failure. Try as you might to let logic and rationality… or even just faith and hope and goodness in each other carry the day, your enemies have decided to twist your message of hope into something that has riled up the truly heinous, and truly, vitally evil.
They have rallied against you, and others like you, and want to
Evil will have its day for now… but good will triumph. Eventually.

-[X]Sarah's wonderful Art: Your little girl has been standing at the easel… and she painted you and Carrie from a photo. DC: 30 Rolled:
D100 => 45
You looked at the art and it was… well it was not a perfect picture by any means, and it was covered in colors and crayons and just more kiddie things that most people would think it would be taken away from it.
But not you, you really really enjoyed it and had it framed in your trophy room. Because that was a far more important treasure than anything that you could ever earn.
Reward: Sarah begins to draw and paint.
---------------------------------------------------
-[X]Joseph's Love of Baseball: Joseph has wanted to go to watch baseball. So you figure that going to a ball game would be nice. DC: ??? Rolled:
D100 => 37
Joseph has always been an active child and you were very happy to see that he was loving baseball. And you took him to a game with the family, though as you soon realized, that everyone was not as enthralled at the game as he was.
Everyone was talking, but Joseph was enthralled with the game. He loved everything about it.
Also, he ate two hotdogs and loved it.
Team:
D26 => 26
Around the Leauge News:
D100 => 90
However, with his love of baseball, he began to learn the game and wanted to see what was interesting was happening.
You checked and learned that some guy named Dave Stieb of the Toronto Blue Jays had thrown a no-hitter. Not a perfect game but it was something.
Huh, neat.
Reward: Joseph has fallen in love with baseball.

The producer behind the hit series CHiPS, Rick is pitching an anthology show that follows a lottery worker and IRS agent as they travel the country and interact with various winners, with the audience then following the winners to see how winning the lottery impacts their lives.

He took it immediately.
Reward: Can produce.

-[X]Pray: It had been a long time since you went to Mass. You wish for the Lord to give you strength. DC: ???

D100 => 79+30=99
Well, you got your wish… it only took a few days for it to finally come true.
You think your guardian angel is working over time to keep you safe though, given the fact that you really, really… really worked hard to help the Royal Family with their peculiar problem.
Also, Grace thinks that you are the only reason she and her family are alive after that car accident.
