Project Prometheus (Original Setting Superhero Quest)

I want Crusade to auto-fail interfering with Cenotaph. They should at least have -5 to the roll because it's a memorial service. It'd be like trying to start shit at someone's funeral!

Next step on our agenda, getting our hands on some conveniently portable radiation emitters. Should we try and get our hands on a nuclear reactor, or make a Radiation Metahuman? I'm sure either one will do wonders for our public image!

We just need plant some jailbroken tanning beds planted throughout the city. It'll be easy!
 
What are the odds that Chihiro's co-star, who keeps trying to nickname her and who she shuts down every time, is going to try and get White Hawk or Silvio (or both) into the same room and do a debate with us?

While I can think of a few counter-arguments they might make in the middle of that that may just invalidate the auto-fail (i.e. us doing the memorial after the fact feels "reactionary"), I do agree that they ought to get a negative bonus, cause ya know, it's a fucking memorial. Only a-holes and douches shit on someone's funeral service.

Also I'm home now. Will make a plan soon.
 
The main judo move I can think of is "Fine, think what you like about Nora. But Rakeem, Harper, Towarri, and Yazmin still deserve this."

He can't insult Rakeem, because he's the son of one of his heroes, Steadfast. He can't insult Yazmin because her father is bankrolling him. He can't insult Towarri because Opale, cousin and best friend of her girlfriend, is right there.

So . . . How 'bout Them Yankees? (AP 0) Black Swan has received a DM on Hero for Hire from Scarlet Maturity. He's invited her to a social outing. Wolong has given himself multiple debilitating headaches picking apart every possible outcome, but it truly appears that Scalet Maturity is just . . . kind of bored and wants to hang out.

eTraction!: Dr. Ibis has apparently been trying online dating to no success. However, he's recently been approved for a beta-test of a new matchmaking software called "eTracation". All he has to do is allow them to film his first date with his match for "data collection purposes". It's a reality show. Dr. Ibis has somehow accidentally signed up for a reality show. Also, he's supposed to be dead. (The Meanest Thing to Ever Happen to Dr. Ibis, The Best Thing to Ever Happen to Dr. Ibis, +1 Global Action and New Global Actions Unlocked)

He's Got a Gun! (AP 2, HIT 7, OPERATIONS 10)
There is currently a high-speed chase ongoing as QUICK GORILLA has gone rogue. He's broken into the Dominion medical research facility where he was born and absconded with two "research subjects" who are also orangutans. Apparently they are quite valuable as Dominion has put out an "all-takers" assignment on Hero for Hire to capture QUICK GORILLA and return the subjects. And, yes, it appears QUICK GORILLA does indeed have a gun. One he knows how to use.

Need need neeed neeed

Favorite minor side character we know of + plus one of my favorite of our heroes + Hellboy references = we gotta save the babies folks
(I'll vote for plans with this)
 
Combo Concept for John:

Telekinetic Teleporter:

Memoria (4) + Miss Conception (3) + Daggermaw (1) + Mr. Hunch (1)

The concept is simple: Memoria provides the teleporation, while the other three have the potential to create a telekinetic, assuming that our Wolong freebie theory is correct.
 
[RECOMMENDED: EXCEED-BEYOND and >= 3 Max Potency Heroes]

BTW seeing this do you guys want to aim for another P13 Hero from Medium Potency?

With fast pass, we can give a 7 spoonful to reach 8 then just use fast pass to get them to 10 so 2 turn investment for a P13.

At the very 3 P13 with E-B is just minimum for success in that mission having more ensure we have more leeway in succeeding and not losing anyone.

E-B and then 4 Max Potency would be ideal when doing that mission.

I do feel like Smoke on the Water is more... urgent than Meet the rookies...Also Operations is kindastretched thin.

Gambling on loot boxes too

I was originally planning to make a slightly different version of @Pawn Lelouch 's plan (Hero Worship edition) when I realize the difference is so miniscule it barely matters so I'm putting that one on hold. Besides, I want to wait till @Bitterman arrives since there's something I'm slightly confused on regarding how New Dawn's mechanics work (yes, I saw the quote. I'm still confused)

I also have a New Dawn version ready:

[] Plan: Dawn's Coming, Shroud!

---[] Black Swan patrols with New Dawn
--[] Break Glass in Case of Emergency (AP 2, ESP 8, OP 10)
---[] Request Miss Naught's assistance
--[] Long Shadows of the Night (AP 2, HIT 5, ESP 9, OP 4)

--[] eTraction!

Made two versions even. The first version is a slightly altered version of Pawn's where instead of Hero Worship, we go to Shroud. Not much comment from me here. The second version however has a bit more change where we take on the Gamer and ask help from ND here to fill Black Swan's absence. Moreover, I've decided to be a party pooper in this version and say no to Scarlet Maturity. The reason I've decided to train BS and MW in OPS here instead is to compensate for the ND absence in the other plans. Listen, I like Scarlet Maturity too and am interested in him as a character, but unless Bitterman straight up tells me that action is only available this turn, I think we can afford to delay it to another turn (at least in this version).

Alright made my own Plan since I finally got to a computer.

This is pretty much what weve been talking about. We have swan on Patrol in MG mission while also asking ND for help to hopefully vouch for us in the resistance there. I Went with Hero worship since if we can recruit Yara and Belle next turn that gives us 9 ap on turn 5, also Yara is more likely to be the tolerance 10 among our known high candidates since shes 18 and lived in a gilded cage meaning we won't have to pump her tolerance.

For Personal Actions as fun as events are we do need our heroes to grind stats. So since MW and BS went for shenanigans last turn this time they grind OP and Rep, since those are the stats we need the most. Chatelet to start up the organizing needed for JU is pretty easy to choose even if she needs to hang out next turn. Hanging out with SM we can do next turn its not like his probation ends in just a month.

For Global Actions John getting 6T and powers means we have him for Demon Flamez Next turn at Great A-Rank Power. For the last it was research or AP and in the end having 5 GA next turn is too tempting. AP afterall is king in quests.

I was gonna object to Scarlet Maturity action a bit more till I realize how much OP both Wolong and Miss Naught covers which shut down my objections to LucidProp's and Pawn's plans
 
New Dawn members are not considered part of Justice Unlimited's stat totals right? Unless they formally join the team I'm guessing. And what about Wolong who was named an affiliate inner circle member in the narrative?

Like Mendicant, he doesn't add his stats but has mechanical benefits.

New Dawn members only add their stats to the total during missions that they are on.

Also, did people have more questions about the confusing, confusing way New Dawn works?

Sorry guys, circumstances have me single-parenting for a while and I'm a little fried. It hasn't been my best work lately.
