Incident? I’ve never heard of any incident. RANSEUR Corp does so much to protect the environment. Clearly this so-called "incident" is some kind of smear campaign.
Even though she'd said this before, Rosethorn still bristles - literally - every time. "What people say they do and what they actually do can be totally different things Whimsy. Even you know that. There have to be fae that are liars and cheats..."
Cammy doesn’t actually believe their press statements, but the general public probably does.

In the alternate universe where Whimsy and Rosethorn are having this conversation, Whimsy replies, "Oh, most of the Fae are liars and cheats." She agrees easily. "But only some do it out of malign intent.

Rosethorn relaxes, a few flowers sprouting across the spines on his shoulders as he chuckles "Well, isn't it nice that dishonesty is universal."

It is an interesting feeling to use my GM muscles to help set up my own troubles. I rather like it. :)

Also, if someone doesn't pick Whimsy as a crush or love interest, I think she will stamp her foot and pout. ;)

Trying to decide where Whimsy would live while in Halcyon City. Between boyfriends, girlfriends, just friends, and judicious use of superpower level beauty, I suspect she stays with other people most of the time.
Mist has an apartment all to himself most of the time, so he probably wouldn’t mind having someone else around. The fact that he might have a thing for her is beside the point.

Then we will start the game with Whimsy crashing on Mist's couch/futon/air mattress.

So after the site downtime I'll start this thing off. I think most of the things are ironed out. Got an idea of what your characters do on a daily basis, how they live, who they're on good and bad terms with... if there's anything else people want to make part of the setting give us a should and I'll start writing the intro for the first session issue

What’s our favorite in-costume (because otherwise Cammy wouldn’t be there) hangout spot?

My wife suggested a funky basement coffee bar called Under the Hood.

Everyone knows that supers hang out here, but if anyone asks, the barista just offers them a Super Cappuccino ($6.99) and a smile

If that’s a coffee shop that caters to superpowered individuals, I’m in. As long as the owner of the place is themself a retired hero.

I feel this is relevant to mostly just me, but do comic books as we know them exist in this universe? Or is it like Watchmen where it’s all pirates?
Dec 10, 2017 7:10 pm
Comics exist as something between gossip rag, fictionalised history and fanfiction. It causes no end of problems for A.E.G.I.S. who have to toe the line between good publicity and keeping super secrets, and publicists who want their clients to always look their best. It gets even more interesting for villains who take part in all of this, or find themselves filing defamation suits from behind bars. And naturally once merchandising and sales royalties are taken into account, for anyone who got into it for the money it gets a little too tempting to stage "events" purely for attention.

This of course is all something adults have to deal with. None of you really have the legal rights to sell your image even if you wanted to. Maybe RANSEUR has someone in their PR Department who'd be interested at some point (maybe talking to your parents, guardians or representatives from the Feywild), but don't expect to end up in the funny pages of the Halcyon City Herald anytime before you hit the age of 21.

Mist probably spends most of his time when not doing superhero stuff either critiquing said comics or using whatever the popular social network for cool teens is.
Dec 11, 2017 10:58 pm
Okay then. I think we've got an idea of the setting. I'll kick this off tomorrow with our first fantastic issue.
Excelsior!

[ +- ] Ironed out some last minute things
PS. I am loving all the R.A.N.S.E.U.R. plot threads.

Forgot to do my Relationships and Influence stuff before, so here it is:

Relationships
Whimsy is awesome, and you take every chance you get to hang out with them.
You’ve got to prove yourself to Quasar before you feel like a real hero.

Influence
You are so excited to be here. Give Influence over you to three of your teammates: Cammy, Whimsy, and Kingfisher
