Were these worth XP? I just went back through the chapters to record XP gain/loss since 'Triumphant Impressions' and came up with 56.5 total instead of the 58.5 in the charsheet. I did not count either of these official omakes.

Also, neither one is threadmarked.

I'll double check when I get home. I probably just messed up. And forgot to give them stuffs.

By the by.... why would Theo want a lair of doom/gloom? Think carefully on this.

Without outside knowledge, what is important about Calvert beside the fact that he works for the construction company that builds Endbringer shelters?

It can't be about building Theo a lair as Theo is not a villain or even parahuman in this polite uppercrust party.

Theo has no previous social connection to him or the people he is speaking to. At best, you're looking at a autograph from Dauntless.

Rennick is a high-up for the PRT. He does not know of the scene that SS got involved in and won't know until he gets back in the office and reports are done. And so on.

Please don't make Theo be that guy. You know, the annoying one who interrupts conversations when no one in the conversation knows who he is.
 
Some good points mmmmm I think I'll switch to

[X] Plan Bii

I just hope we can get Crystal tonight as well so we get all three of the "Next" Wave girls plus Eric as our "bro" since we need one (and possibly something more if we manage to turn Theo bi :D)

Bii ,It's just backdoor politics.the idea is to catch him with his pants down by saying that Sabah is going to press charges on SS , which to a bureaucrat like him is bad PR,so instead of there being a scandal and a investigation of misconduct.He's going to agree with the Pr friendly alternative.

I couldn't come up with a reason for Theo to use Calvert other then setting up a business partnership for Sabah. you are right that they have no social connection at all. While Theo might not be share any elitist beliefs,Calvert would be considered a upstart by polite society,a unwelcome guest that was only invited because of the company he keeps and because he got lucky and invested during the end shelter boom and then used his shares to buy a his position at the company.

While Theo is the heir apparent of Medhall pharmaceuticals so i figured the reason be would that he want to hire Calvert to build him his own personal pimped out End Shelter offed the books like most rich people tend to do in our society like a storm shelter or bunker when they have cash to burn.But Theo is going to in truth convert it in to his own personal lair.

edit: i just realized that i make Theo sound like a expy of Bruce Wayne....:oops:

Just got caught up.

Gotta say, I don't really understand why Vista got aged up. If your plan is to have filthy forbidden pedo sex with her, it's not like her being 12 or 13 makes any difference in the legality of the situation... and if your plan is NOT to have filthy forbidden pedo sex with her, then her age is even more irrelevant.

Amy's confession came as a major surprise.

I feel like the only reason to chat with Calvert is pure metagaming. This is NOT a self-insert, and we have no reason to recognize Coil. I really dislike the idea of basing our in-character decisions on out-of-character information.

It makes some of the players more comfortable with Theo being only 1-and-half-years older than Missy instead of 2-and-a-half?
 
[X] Plan Bi

Here's the thing right, not only do we have no actual reason to want to talk to Calvert and the other PRT members, but well, we don't really gain anything at all from it. The issue with Sabah has already been sorted out, and since it was done by us making it not to be a big deal, trying to use it to push for shit only makes us look like an idiot. Like, trying to do this would be the exact opposite of what we did in the earlier and if anything just undermine the good impression that we made, going from somebody that was just trying to defend a friend and stop a fight, to somebody that just wants to take advantage of a misunderstanding (or at least that's how it'll be played out if we try to do this).

We're better off just going to socialize with the Christners so that we can not only report back to the Empire members with what's going on (because having everybody understand what's going on and what we're planning means that they can't accidentally ruin things) and also do our best to be a good and supporting friend to our buddy Dean after what's happened :).

I don't really see why anyone would be more comfortable writing porn about a 13-year-old than porn about a 12-year-old.

Either way, she's past puberty (which we know because of her canonical crush), and she's significantly under the legal age of consent.

I could understand the motive behind a move across one of those lines or the other, but in this case it's just ... a change that makes no difference.

This makes a lot of sense to me, and it seems in line with our character's motivation.

Dean would be a good person to speak with... and Sabah can talk with Dean about men's fashion, we know she's good at that because she outfitted us. He's the sort of customer who she wants, on both sides of his mask. (Can't remember if we know about his mask, but it works fine without that, so yay.)

Which is why we gotta work on making him our bro (same with Eric) since we need a good guy friend to pal around with and do guy stuff whenever Sabah and the girls do girl things (like a girl's night in/out/slumber party/etc)

Pff. You just want to make everyone gay. Please, don't.
 
Okay, let me say it in a way that's not funny.

Hey guys, how about we exploit his current emotional vulnerability to make him our friend?

We are good at manipulation and socializing.

Not everything needs to be about sex.

Sabah gains the spotlight by having the heroes modeling in fashion magazines wearing her costumes that she made,it's winning the lottery for a up and comer in the fashion industry to have a celebrity showcasing your designs.

The crisis is over,but the aftermath isn't. Theo publicly made it look like a misunderstanding but there is going to be a review of SS conduct and a chance of there being a leak to a the tabloids about what happened. This is about taking care of private business with the PRT by using the pretext of the assault to twist them by the short hairs for a better deal.

Your right that was sloppy writing on my part, at best he is only useful as a legal witness to Theo's agreement with the PRT guys.

They aren't combat approved costumes,think of them as elegant dress uniforms to showcase Sabah's talents,they will never see a single day of combat.

Max Anders is already hanging out with the Mayor and his Family mishie, so that is kinda redundant.but still good thinking.

If there is there any suggestions about what to edit in my plan or add i'm always willing to take it. or at least some advice. it's just not about my plan or Bii's plan but this is Skitzy's quest, to make a adventure that everyone feels invested in.

everyone doesn't have to be a okay writer,but we all have to be willing to participate in more then just voting.To learn from our mistakes and grow passed it.

Seems good to me. The effect isn't overpowered by extending the duration. There are lots of ways to raise App, and the other big effect is only replicating a fairly easy mundane roll, albeit without having to take an action. The indefinite version almost seems a little too expensive to me, though I could be missing something.

I think it's the inhouse public relations department that has a say on what a protectorate-employed hero wears,but if they are under probation or a minor their decisions are more limited thus giving the Pr consultant more creative control.

XP sheet, adding my two omakes at .5 xp a piece. Let me know if I screwed up somewhere.

Snips are (rows-1), for example row 2 is snip 1- Birth by Death.

They have a pr department who handles images. But costumes and outfits, in the end, needs the approval of the one wearing it.

Because the cape in question can simply go "nope, not wearing this".
