[OOC] Masks: A Superhero RPG

Oh by the way, before I make my post, I need to ask; are you in control of Xenon and Radon's backstory, or am I? Because I need to know how to have Argon react to this (although I already have a rough idea).

[Framing A Moose]

I don't have dice on me at the moment, so I'll post when I get home.

[Ermine]

@Double Yep. Always 2d6 + whatever the move says for the bonus. Occasionally +1.

Actually...I need to check the Influence others have...something important may have happened. Mechanically. Teaching moment.

Edit: Yes~ Teaching Moment Unlocked~
So, @Double, Red Falcon has Influence over Crimson Jackal. Would you say that you telling him how reckless his actions are would count as telling him who he is or how the world works? And if yes, @Raijinslayer do you accept or reject it?

@FantasyChic Missing your Influence section in the sheet. One person (Locked Down) or three people (Happy Facade) get Influence over you.
@Framing A Moose Also missing the influence section. Two people matter for what you need to do, and get Influence over you.

Could have sworn you'd both had that at some point.

First OOC post also contains who holds influence over whom now. When the team splits, I'll still keep it all in the first post in this thread, and "crossovers" will also occur in this one, regardless of which team this one ends up focusing on.

[Double]

@Ermine Um, sure, I'll go with that I guess.

[Double]

@Ermine The playbook's phrasing a little vague on the influence section.

"...give influence to all your teammates."

That could easily mean having influence over them or them having having influence over you. I wish it were a little more specific. At least with Outsider, they specify to "...give everyone influence over you."

Also, I have influence over myself? Is that even possible?

[Ermine]

You are not considered your own teammate for this purpose. (EDIT: Oh. That was meant for Noon, not for you. Then I noticed Noon didn't have you and forgot I'd put that there already)
If it says "give influence to...", it means they get influence over you. It's actually quite clear. <.< But I've played other systems based on AW before, so I recognize the wording, which hasn't really changed other than "Influence" vs something like "a string"...and strings were far more confusing.

[Double]

@Ermine Ah, well there's my problem, right there. I haven't played any systems based on AW and thus was not familiar with the wording.

[Raijinslayer]

@ErmineI rolled a 9(4+5) for rejecting influence.

Edit:I'll be clearing the condition in my next action, just waiting on one or two people before I make a post.

[Ermine]

@Raijinslayer Saved me the work of explaining it. Thank you~

[Ermine]

@Double The fact that this is beta still doesn't help. ^~^ (Update on that, though: they've sent it to editing. They've changed some stuff again. Had to remove a short sample encounter, but they gave that out to backers anyway. Not that that mattered so much for this game, since this is structured differently.)

(I'd actually intended this post as an edit to the other. ^//^)

[Framing A Moose]

Question: can a doomed character use the same Doomsign ability twice? For example, I currently have Burning Bright. If I were to use it, then get another Doomsign later on, would I be able to select it again?

@Ermine

[Ermine]

@Framing A Moose To reduce the requirements even more? I'm honestly not even sure what "call[ing] upon the deeper nature of your powers in your sanctuary" even means. ^//^ But no; it specifically states "Once you have taken all five doomsigns above the line, you must take “Your doom arrives” the next time your doom track fills", implying you have to take all five. Dunno why you'd want to do that, though; all of them can be easily explained with your particular doom.

Edit: Reread. Still can't, but I had apparently forgotten what it meant to do that. Now I know.

@Ermine

Okay, just wondering. Also, I think this is what it means by "calling upon the deeper nature of your powers in your sanctuary":

My Hider

When you call upon the deeper nature of your powers in your sanctuary, you can solve impossible problems. Say what you want to do. The GM will give you one to four conditions you must fulfill to complete your solution:
- First, you must _____
- You'll need help from _____
- You and your team will risk danger from _____
- The best you can do is a lesser version, unreliable and limited - You'll need to mark one box on your doom track
- You'll have to obtain _______

[Ermine]

@Framing A Moose Yep. I made a ninja edit up there. I totally should have known it, though, since I'm playing a Doomed character in the other one I'm running.

[Framing A Moose]

Are the two teams rivaling each other?

@Ermine

[Card Captor]

@Ermine

I'm guessing you didn't notice this, or realize I was talking to you since I didn't use a mention, so I'll quote post it (since editing in a mention doesn't seem to work).

[Framing A Moose]

Ffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccckkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!! I just made a really long post and it got deleated!!!! DX<

[Framing A Moose]

I just got a 4 (1+3)....-1 because of my superiority...so 3....would it be wrong to ask for a reroll? :P

[Ermine]

@Card Captor I did miss it. I'm in control (since they're my villains), but you can suggest things, given their ties to Argon and I'll probably be cool with them. (Just remember, the more you give me to work with, the more I can make people suffer~ I started easy on purpose~ This is not going to stay as silly and lighthearted as it is right now; after the split...I have plans~ (And as a hint for one of the teams: "LONG LIVE THE KING"))

@Framing A Moose Reroll and you don't gain potential (the experience points of this game). It puts you one step closer to precious advancements (and for the love of whatever you follow, don't pick burn and flares >< We have three novas, we don't need ANY MORE than that; in fact, unless you had specific ones in mind for when you DO advance, I'm going to have to replace that with "Choose two powers from a Legacy power suite." It pretty much gives the same options, but...it's not another nova. >//<).

Also, I suspect the drama coming as a result of Kiante will divide the group for us. I already know Noon will have no part of that recklessness, since it's what her people think humans are like, and she wouldn't want to give them the satisfaction of being right (and will therefore probably be in team 2)
