DC Contest - Glory to CC!

[FM]

I can definitely see a Post counter being posted at a post count-caring condition or so...

[sickofpalantirs]

now I am totally confused...

[FM]

Instead of changing regular cards, post-count could be a new feature, like threats, or a slightly different feature, in that some cards would add post counters instead of culture counters, and certain conditions, companions, minions, etc, would care for your post-count. Clearer?

[DáinIronfoot]

Basically, post counters would work like tokens. Is that what I'm understanding?

So for example:

•sickofpalantirs, Useful Spammer
Companion • Man
Strength: 6
Vitality: 4
Resistance: 5
Spammer.
When you play sickofpalantirs, you may reinforce a post-counter.
Each time you reinforce a post-counter, you may exert sickofpalantirs to reinforce that post-counter again.
"‘Watch me gain 2042 posts over the summer. '"

Pretty much, however, it could also work like threats. So:

•sickofpalantirs, Useful Spammer
Companion • Man
Strength: 6
Vitality: 4
Resistance: 5
Spammer.
When you play sickofpalantirs, you may add a post.
Each time you add a post, you may exert sickofpalantirs to add another post.
"Watch me gain 2042 posts over the summer. "

Something along these lines. And of course, post-count would work for either player, not being a "bonus" feature for the FP.

[sickofpalantirs]

wouldn't it be add an aditional post?

[FM]

Yeah, pretty much. Sorry, I think I misworded the non-existing ability...

Thou art absolved. Go ye in peace.

[Elf_Lvr]

Don't forget me either! I want to be in on this.

[FM]

Ok, and now I think we have a nice crew to work with. So, where should we start? Game mechanics, keywords or cultures?

[AgentDrake]

I vote we start with cultures. Once we have cultures defined, we'll have a better idea what sort of things we'll want as keywords.

[Elf_Lvr]

I second the motion.

[FM]

I third the motion, then. Anyone against it?

[FM]

Ok, just realized we need to rewind a bit. So, what're we talking about? A single large set, or a regular block? I, for one, was thinking of a Block, comprising as the large set the old days at CC, and then as smaller sets the downfall and the move to TLHH, since one was a quick period, and the other one we're just starting. Some people suggested including the old days at the D boards, but that would kinda be a stretch, so I think we should start with something like this, and if we like what we're doing, we could always do an add-on (or spin-off) promo set later.
What are your thoughts fellas?

[AgentDrake]

Block sounds more organized, but on the other hand, I'm not sure we would get through the whole thing... and by the time we did, TLHH might have been around long enough to deserve a large set.

Maybe a block with smaller sets than normal, but still a block. The old D boards could be a sort of Reflections set if we decide we want to do that.
