Asset Suggestions

Post by Agonarchartist »

hey all. Working on getting the Assets done:

I am missing one asset from each category (aristocratic, corporate, military, street, wasteland, and criminal) and three from Civil.

Any ideas you guys have while prepping or playing that would be useful? Any parody/character you'd like to see?

Also: These are just starter packs 1 & 2 (we want them to be about 60 cards, 120 is unwieldy). More will come.

Red Reddington from the Black List - Criminal
John Reese and/or Harold Finch from Person of Interest (acting on behalf of the Machine with SIN numbers) - Civil
The Coach from the movie the Gentlemen - owes a favor to the brand. - Street

-I think a cryptid like the Mothman for a street/civic asset could be cool!
-The Dude (as in, not Lebowski, The Dude, man) could be a fun civil asset, but I think if anything he'd have to be a detriment to the brand.
-In turn, Maude Lebowski as an aristocratic asset. She can set them up with top-notch medical care ("He's a good man....and thorough") although the referred doctors will perform harmless yet unnecessary tests for...unknown reasons.
- John Brown as a military asset. He'll gladly lay his life on the line for a righteous mission but will be seriously under-armed and under-equipped in doing so (likely being captured in the process).

Bubbles is a negative asset. There's certainly a precedent for it. I worry though about putting *too* many bombs in the deck. Each one is around 60 cards (56 assets,4 johnsons) That's over a 1% chance per pull with 120 cards and two bombs. Assuming a game runs for 20-40 sector turns operations (a six month campaign) I'd hate for it to happen every game. . .

In my games I always had a contact with a crazy journalist called Tumper Hompson (an allusion to Hunter Thompson and his Gonzo journalism)

That makes me also want to do spider jerusalem but, Ellis is currently in hiding over, well, being a sex pest, so probably best to stick with the original, ole' hunter.

Warren Ellis really disappointed me. I really like the comics written by him, but these sexual harassment allegations were deplorable... damn it
