So as some here may have heard as a new thread started and fizzled out, we over at one of the more successful TG projects, Disney Villains Victorious, have been working on finally getting the full PDF version out. We've run the Crunch, we've written the Fluff, the playtest have been finished and we're ready to finish the official version and start on some other stuff, expansions most likely. Given that this lines up with a new Disney Canon film having come out, what better time to start a new recruiting drive? The picture attached here is our lovely banner image made by Plutoniarch. Here's the overview:
Disney Villains Victorious is a /tg/ homebrew project based on the glorious idea of a world, not entirely unlike our own, in which (almost) all the villains from (almost) all the Disney animated feature films were not defeated at the ends of their movies but were instead victorious, completing their goals in part or in whole.
It is a world in which Ursula rules the seas, defied only by the uncatchable Pirate Lords and the might of Atlantis. It is a world where the grasslands, the jungles and the forests are prowled not only by fearsome primal beasts like Shere Khan and Scar, but also by the ruthless, tireless hunters that stalk them. It is a world where Europe has been divvied up between sorcerous queens like Maleficent, inquisitorial clergymen like Frollo, and dark gods like Hades and Chernabog.
It is not, however, a world completely devoid of courage, heroism or hope. Around the world, the Player Characters and their allies plot, plan, fight, strive and win their own victories against the villains that would rule them. The time to fight and to be free is now.

Map. Still mostly WIP.
So, let's get down to business: In addition to the PDF shaped elephant in teh room, there's also the fact taht we now have to fit Zootopia which is, like Frozen, a movie where merely stating the villain is a spoiler into one of the settings, probably Gridlocked as it's post-1920s tech and also for taht matter, the CN setting needs some revisions given recent events in Steven Universe. Vidya needs both a snappier name and a more distinct theme then just the entire medium. I've finally gotten back on the KLR train, mostly with Vidya as we have or possibly had people on CN and Saturday Mourning is basically done Fluff-wise. See you guys around!

King - King Bowser Koopa
King Bowser Koopa of the Koopa Kingdom is just as he always was: a tyrant. After finally defeating the hated Mushroom Kingdom, Bowser and his 8 generals consisting of his children have taken over the former country. Like his all, Eggman, Bowser has a somewhat contradictory personality. In public, he's an authoritarian dictator who rules by fear and sheer intimidation.. That said, he’s not particularly cruel and in fact, is surprisingly affable even with his enemies. He enjoys challenging said enemies to kart races, tennis, golf, baseball and a whole host of other games. He misses Mario, who fled the Kingdom after he failed to stop Bowser’s take over, and took great joy in their fights and games together. Thusly, he sometimes seems like he wants to have a hero to fight.
>>46270699
(cont.)
That said, even if it’s all a game to him, he still wants to win and he’ll do everything he can to do so which given that he’s superhumanly strong and can breath fire, is quite a lot. It doesn't help that, contrary to what'd you’d expect given his outward appearance, Bowser is a genius at the mystical and technological arts with the magic enabling him to summon undead, transform others, change his size at will and even bring himself back from the brink of death. Meanwhile, his technological fixations allows him to build wonders like the multiple giant robots he’s used in the past, his Koopa Clown Car and a variety of his mooks such as the Bullet Bill or Chain Chomp are robotic species created by him. Even if he has now taken over his Mushroom Kingdom, he has now moved to the goal of marrying Peach. He hasn't convinced here yet and is unwilling to concere her into it, magically or otherwise. He actually does seem to love her in his own weird way., He just doesn't seem to get why she doesn't find the world conquering angle attractive. He’s currently in an alliance with Robotnik, partly because the “good” doctor reminds him of Mario appearance wise and partly because he’s been a great help on some of Bowser’s more “esoteric” mechanical projects . Bowser may be one of the more affable villains in the world but he’s still a force to be reckoned with.
>>46268327
Okay, so, to clarify: why did the power of love stop working?
>>46270746
Yen Sid is weeping in the corner because of his failure. Also, Chernin-Bog AKA The guy from Night on Bald Mountain AKA The Literal Devil is involved.
Bump. Working on the Koopa Kingdom. Suffering slight drought of ideas.
Land - The Koopa Kingdom
The Koopa Kingdom generally looks like exactly the sort of kingdom you’d expect Bowser to make. It’s covered in lava and fire and as expected, very hot. It’s a very heavily industrial kingdom with almost every structure made out of some sort of brick or stone. The dominant color is red from the lava and the earthen clay. That said, if you can tolerate the lava and fire, as his subjects can, he Koopa KIngdom is a fairly nice place. It has many conveniences brought across by the advanced technology of the Koopa King combined with cheap labor from Dry Bones. That said, it's not all harmonious. There are rumors that King Boo wants to expand beyond the small mansion he’s been given as his territory, Bowser's eight children are constantly feuding as to who gets what territory and of course, there’s the fact that an increasing number of Bowser’s minions are defecting. Bowser has been searching for them but he hasn't been able to find them. There are rumors that they may have established small villages within neutral territory but nothing found yet.
>>46268327
Not this shit again.
If you have to bump your own thread this many times, maybe you should consider the fact that nobody cares about your stupid project anymore.
>>46272316
It was twice! Jesus Christ. I was working so sue me.

Third one from the left. It's still very WIP but what we have so far is good.
>>46274153
Yeah. Plus we know enough about Gem Homeworld now to have a somewhat good idea of what it should look like.
FInal part of Bowser's KLR:
Rule - King of the Koopas.
As said, compared to most Kings, Bowser rules with a light hand. As long as you don’t object too loud to his policies, you’re still invited to the weekly go-kart races. If you try and openly rebel though, you’re liable for either Bowser or one of his children to turn you into an small animal of some sort. If you try to rebel violently...Let’s just say there’s a method to making Dry Bones and Boos. Bowser can justify it as self-defense but King Boo wishes he would do it more often and it’s a major point of contention between the two. In addition to his aforementioned alliance with Eggman, Bowser has also aligned with King K. Rool over their shared reptile lineage and contiguous borders. K. Rool’s trying to learn Bowser’s magic skills and most other villains are cautiously watching for results. Bowser isn't especially threatening but K. Rool may be able to find better uses for Necromancy.
Now on to either Ganondorf or Wily, I haven't decided yet.
Bump while I wok on Ganondorf.
Another Bump as night falls.
Finally, I'm here for one of these. I always end up missing these threads when they pop up.
I was told by Nob that DVV's playtesting went well. They learned that Music was OP as a skill, and that Lessons shouldn't be linked to character progression/experience. It also told us that character species shouldn't matter mechanically, as that shit complicates the game for no reason.
Also, can I ask that we all stop posting VVV? Do we really need a crappier version of 8-Bit Dystopia?
Architect here. Arathorn and I came up with a new version of the old map a while back. It's mostly the same, only with some some more varied territories and neutral areas (places nobody bothered to conquer) to mix things up. Also, a lot of retarded errors were removed. I haven't got around to updating the map legend, but now I have a reason to.
>>46268327
>one of the more successful TG projects
>Disney Villains Victorious
Christ this place is a shithole.
>>46281544
You're just now figuring this out?
>>46279429
So, if music is OP, how could it be balanced? Maybe have a limited amount of real time that a song plays in so doesn't last long? Or make people actually play a song so they don't use it for every thing?
>>46281544
Could someone explain to me the issues with this project?
>>46283715
Nob didn't get into specifics, but he said there's a new subsystem for music to make sure it doesn't get abused.
Since nobody else is going to post the damn thing, here's the new rules in Pastebin format. They're still a little rough and subject to change.
http://pastebin.com/VEh1Bnje
>>46270211
>>46270278
looks like its based on the one DK made
Can we talk about Gridlocked? Since Gravity Falls is over, we might want to reconsider Bill Cipher's relevance in the setting. Would he be Gridlocked's final antagonist like Chernabog is for DVV Classic? I could feasibly imagine him as being responsible for the modern setting going to shit.
We also want to think about how Zootopia fits in with everything else. Do we finally have enough funny animal shows (Darkwing Duck, House of Mouse, Bonkers, Goofy Movie) to justify having animal people as a semi-common occurance?
Also, where would that 9th Grade Ninja show fit? I haven't seen it or Zootopia yet, but I've been told it fits Gridlocked. I'm also surprised that American Dragon Jake Long hasn't found its way into Gridlocked, either.
>>46284018
Most of the work got moved to reddit
>>46289354
Wrong. It went to the forum. Even then, updates are far and few between.
>>46289319
In regards to Bill, fortunately, now we know exactly what him winning looks like but him serving as the equivalent of Cheruing Bog? Yeah, sounds good. We haven't really included the other funny animal shows as their villains are a bit too comedic and generally, with two notable exceptions, we try to go for the more threatening guys but yeah, animal people as a new race? We already have the Chimera rules for that. As for those two shows...I think they could work but someone who knows more then me will have to write them. I've been kinda biased against them ever since someone tried to make them the center of this big "secret Magic War" setting element which felt like it was shoehorned in to me but eh. I'm open to it.
>>46289510
>In regards to Bill, fortunately, now we know exactly what him winning looks like but him serving as the equivalent of Cheruing Bog? Yeah, sounds good.
Presumably, Bill would still be trapped in Gravity Falls. Kinda like Cherno in the Bald Mountain. Did we ever figure out why Chernobog is stuck there?
>We haven't really included the other funny animal shows as their villains are a bit too comedic and generally, with two notable exceptions, we try to go for the more threatening guys but yeah, animal people as a new race? We already have the Chimera rules for that.
We try to include everything we can. St. Canard would become enough of a hellhole to fit in Gridlocked, as would Duckburg. Perhaps northern California can be designated to Calisota?
We're dumping animals as being mechanically different from humans. That includes Chimeras. Shit isnt worth keeping track of.
>As for those two shows...I think they could work but someone who knows more then me will have to write them.

Yes, that was rather forced in. We should still make an effort to try fitting them in without a "magic war".
>>46289660
>We try to include everything we can. St. Canard would become enough of a hellhole to fit in Gridlocked, as would Duckburg. Perhaps northern California can be designated to Calisota?
Sounds good.
>>46269062
Here's my two cents:
Make zootopia aBrooklyn race riot like thing, where people live in fear of the other eaters and any feral people, have the mayor as a good guy who wants to restore order.
Not sure about Steven Universe, as the whole nature of the Homeworld plan relies on the complete destruction of earth, also, shouldn't beach city be in Florida?
>>46290746
>Not sure about Steven Universe, as the whole nature of the Homeworld plan relies on the complete destruction of earth, also, shouldn't beach city be in Florida?
Steven Universe Earth doesn't even have a Florida. I think fans have estimated Beach City to be somewhere on the east coast, though.
We should avoid Steven Universe stuff until the series is over. We're not very good at predicting how these shows might turn out.
>>46290887
>Steven Universe Earth doesn't even have a Florida. I think fans have estimated Beach City to be somewhere on the east coast, though.
Delaware and I agree on the series ending stuff.

Just concepts and back stories
>>46293427
>Where would be a good place to start a Gridlocked or Saturday Mourning game?
Kinda depends on the group. What are they into and what character concepts are they going with? Each Setting has different kinds of adventures.
>>46293678
I have one but I think it might be a bit cliche. It's a sort of artifact collector, world traveler, trickster type of dude. Think The Doctor meets P.T. Barnum.
>>46294181
Well I've got a character idea that's basically huge guts and stupidity incarnate. A chimera carnosaur/human who just wants to kill gods and kings and he also wants to personify strength. Also dude that idea sounds cool so long as you can make him different enough from those two that the character has their own life.
>>46294181
Hope I don't sound condensing
I'm customizing the Gridlocked map with the talking animal cities.
>>46294877
Hit a bit of a snag in the process, namely that the area generally assigned to Calisota overlaps with San Fransokyo. Should I move the city or...?
>>46295181
The two don't overlap. Just color the Calisota area differently to see how it looks.
Still working on it. Bump.
>>46268704
As a Nevadan, I welcome our 'Everyone is super' overlord and gladly fight for him.
>>46269550
Dino Riders better than Transformers? This upsets me and I am not happy.
>>46295917
He's actually banned Supers. You better be able to explain it as Cybernetics. He's constantly at war with that Super-lover Shego.
Question: What's the accepted font and size for map listings?
>>46296060
He's referencing Syndrome's quote. "If everyone's super, nobody is." Ergo, almost everyone on Kronos Industries land is cybered up in some way or form.
>>46295952
Who said Dino Riders was better? The Decepticons would wipe out any dinosaurs that came their way.
I might as well put a link to the SM KLRs.

Going ahead and reuploading the Saturday Mourning map as well. This one is much more readable.
>>46296117
I think I used Arial size 12 for the legends on all of the maps except the original. That one is a clusterfuck of various fonts and font sizes.
>>46296121
>He's referencing Syndrome's quote. "If everyone's super, nobody is." Ergo, almost everyone on Kronos Industries land is cybered up in some way or form.
I know. I was just mentioning a setting detail.
>>46268821
Well, for Portal it would obviously be 'The Aparture Science Enrichment Center', run by GLaDOS.
They such expended.
By a lot.
>>46296143
Turns out size 14 fit better.
>>46296473
Sorry for the leftover Magenta dot. That's the planned site of St. Canard, give or take a few degrees south.
>>46296473
It looks to be the same size font as >>46268704, so I guess it was font 14. My bad.
What does the new dot in Calisota represent?
>>46296586
>What does the new dot in Calisota represent?
As I said in a follow-up post, St. Canard which I may be moving a few degrees south in the final version.
Nevermind >>46296586. It just got answered by >>46296526.
Unfortunately, this opens up a new issue with Yokai getting his land cut in the middle. How should we get around that?
>>46296638
Hmmm...not sure. If we're going to put Calisota in the game at all, it kinda needs to be in Northern Cali but taking the Northwest from Yokai just feels wrong. Maybe have them be an "allied"(Read: mostly puppet.) nation taht Yokai found more useful alive then dead? Maybe have Gyro Gearloose brainwashed into working for Yokai while Flintheart Glomgold and Magica Despell provide financial and magical support.?
>>46297049
We could just put St. Canard and Duckberg on the map as dots on SFIT land, as opposed to having Calisota be an independent state.
>>46297132
Damn you and your logical solutions!
Here's the edited map. Zootopia to come once i've actually seen the film.
Has there been any sort of drawfaggotry or writefaggotry made beyond that which is in the Google drive folder in the OP?
>>46297587
Look at the Imgur gallery in the OP. Besides that, there's probably a few pictures that slipped between the cracks.

>>46274348

Uwotm8
>>46298205
Yes and no. For the most part, stripes refer to areas actively contested with open warfare or the occasional skirmish. In terms of 'peaceful' (no active warfare) areas, stripes refer to a blend of peoples and cultures. Examples of open warfare would be in Turkey, Alaska, and Mongolia, while culture mixes would be with the Philippines, New Guinea and New Zealand. The North American Spiral Zone has dinosaur zombies.

Just an offering of a King for Gridlocked..
The Honorable Judge Doom of Los Angeles, California
Since the 1950s, Judge Doom has ruled over what was once the happiest place on Earth (at least to those on the outside). Seizing control over Toontown thanks to the murder of the legendary Marvin J. Acme and framing the biggest toon-star of the age, Roger Rabbit, Doom now rules LA as the true power behind city hall.
Using the money from owning the land that became the Los Angeles freeway to buy out the city government, Doom forced the Toon population to live in the real world under the thumb of his now city-wide Toon Patrol. Human beings are seen as the actual citizens of the region, with toons treated as menial labor and the performers for Hollywood movies. Doom does everything he can to play up this system of inequality, using his control of the city's press to play up the stories of toon criminals being captured and put in the Dip due to "resisting arrest".
Of course, being a judge means Doom is just as involved in the criminal system for the city overall. Dealings with the Yakuza from San Fransokyo, refugee supers from the Kronos Corporation, and the bizarre creatures from the Oregon Triangle mean that the underworld of Los Angeles is rife with bribery that runs uphill to Doom's office.
Doom himself has managed to grow even more maniacal as his power grows. He often spends hours patrolling the city streets, his black cape whipping about in a wind only he seems to be caught in. His rictus grin is often enough to make even the hardest criminals break, and the lead weasels of the Toon Patrol constantly scurry around his feet as muscle. Despite having been around for well over two decades in his role as the city's judge, no one will speak publicly about the fact that Doom hasn't aged a day.
Land: Los Angeles
The city of Los Angeles has retained the art deco stylings of the era Doom took power in. Clogged with cars and the urban sprawl that comes with the freeway, the city is divided into two distinct classes. The rulers are the human citizens that work the majority of jobs in the city and run the city government. The Toons are viewed as menial laborers and performers, supplementing what work they can find in the movie and TV studios by performing in dive bars and underground clubs.
The fact is that crime runs rampant in Los Angeles, but few people are able to speak out against it as the crime rings that operate in the city are quickly placated by Judge Doom. Of course, criminal hideouts are raided and corruption is occasionally rooted out. After all, you can’t have the voters getting too unhappy. The corruption in Los Angeles all flows uphill, fattening Doom’s pockets and making the LAPD his own personal “fun squad”. Criminal gangs from San Fransokyo, illegal refugees from Kronos, even the rare escapee from the Oregon Triangle, all they can afford and then some goes right to the city courthouse. That’s for humans though.
Toons have no chance of fair trials or justice in their lives, and to them the only path out is to try and run to another nation. Unfortunately no one will take them. Los Angeles is still the entertainment capital of the world, pushing out movies and television that remains the gold standard in the United States. This has resulted in all leaders quietly agreeing with Doom to capture and ship back any Toons that try to escape. Escapees are punished severely, and are obviously sighted out in the city by their missing fingers, ears, or whatever Doom can Dip away without making them useless.
Of course, oppression breeds resentment. A small underground of Toons and their human allies have formed to try and combat Doom’s stranglehold on the city, but have realized too late that they’ve become the perfect example of why the city’s police and their Toon Patrol take the actions they do. After all, if the city’s human population is going to lose their “loyal” toon labor, why wouldn’t they excuse the Toon Patrol for what they’ve done?
Rule: My God, It’ll Be Beautiful
Doom has big dreams for Los Angeles, creating a shining, golden metropolis in the almost-sterile San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. More developments of mighty skyscrapers reaching for the skies, farther stretches of freeway running through the nation, more money to put into his pockets at the expense of others. Of course, that part is left out of the morning papers.
This has resulted in a population of men and women willing to believe anything they’re feed, since it’s coming from the trusted city government. Trying to operate in Los Angeles is a terrifying prospect since they’re going up against a real police force AND a Toon Patrol capable of surviving everything short of Dip.
(Admittedly weak, someone else is more than allowed to come up with the impact of this kind of ruler)
Sorry, this was supposed to be the actual Doom post, I mis-copied.

Whoa, we had him planned for the original then we were planning a Toon-based expansion that never got off the ground but yeah, that's cool. I'll edit the map. It works better now that animal people are also established as existing.

Very nice. My only issue is that the Land would be called Doom Town, since Judge Doom would be sharing Los Angeles with ENCOM and the MCP.
>>46300670
As a representative of Kronos Corp, I would like to formally request that we get Baker as it is so close to the Nevada border. We also want Dam and controlling rights to Lake Tahoe. We require the water more than California needs it considering Lake Shasta's current overflow.
New Map with Doomtown! I also hope this is satisfactory to Kronos Corp's request.
>>46301235
We'll see.
New Map with Doomtown! I also hope this is suitable to Kronos Corp's request.
Supposing I know a drawfag who might be interested in adding to this project
what would you ask of them?
>>46301323
>what would you ask of them?
What is that supposed to mean?
>>46301300
Okay. My boss would like to have a conference with Doofenschmirtz. Possibly combining our shared land. If not, we will be contemplating other actions.
My best attempts at stats, feel free to edit these as needed.
Judge Doom
Role: Authoritative/Smart
Class: Hanging Judge
Size: Medium
Species: “Human”
Attributes
Robustness: 20
Agility: 10
Intelligence: 18
Sensibility: 12
Charm: 8
Will: 20
Skills
Brawl: 6
Deceit: 10
Endure: 10
Insight: 8
Intimidate: 10
Prevent Harm: 10
Traits
Cold Hearted: +3 to any checks made to directly take advantage of the poor, unfortunate, and/or downtrodden.
The Public’s Trust: Trying to foment an insurgency against this king adds a -2 penalty due to the public perception that surrounds them.
KING: This unit is a KING. It gets +10 to Persuade its servants to do anything if opposed in some way, and can automatically make them obey if no one is inciting rebellion among them.
Powers
No One Could Survive That Unless…: Doom is indestructible, the reality is that as a Toon he’s only vulnerable to the Dip and his power being drained away by a willy opponent. Physical attacks can only ever stun Doom, never stop him.
Here Comes the Judge: Doom carries around an air of authority, and utter wrongness. Unblinking and caught in a wind where there is none, any confrontation with Doom adds a -3 from the sheer wrong that comes with Doom’s presence.
The “Dip”: The most frightening aspect of Doom’s rule over the city, only Doom himself knows the precise mixture of turpentine, acetone, and benzene capable of dissolving any living toon. Doom doesn’t carry any Dip on his person, but barrels of the formula are commonly put into Toon Patrol paddy wagons as well as carried in small water pistols carried by human officers on Toon Patrol. Harmless to humans, a perfect shot of Dip can be instantly lethal to toon characters.
Equipment
Doom’s Cane: +1 Melee, +1 Persuasion
VILLAINS
Smarty, Toon Patrol Captain
NPCs
Eddie Valiant
Background: Eddie is a broken wreck of a man thanks to Doom’s actions against Toon Town and the publicized Dipping of Roger Rabbit. Still trying to be a private detective, Eddie tries to shield his morals from the daily reports of toon abuse by spending whatever money he can grab on booze. The only overriding goal in Eddie’s life remains finding the toon that killed his brother Teddy. Still, Eddie has some small rays of hope in his life. Lifelong friend Betty Boop is now his secretary, allowing Valiant to shield at least one toon from the Toon Patrol and anti-toon sentiment in his own small way. Despite this, Eddie has little difficulty publicly hating and despising toons for what he believes they all did to his brother.
Dolores
Background: The boss of the Red Car Café, Dolores is also quietly a leading figure in the Toon Town Railroad along with several of her regular customers. Correctly believing that Doom is a corrupt and corrupting man, Dolores contacted several toons and began conducting their small resistance against DTPD and the Toon Patrol. Doom suspects that the Toon Town Railroad is certainly operating right under his nose, but if the knowledge got out that Doom’s enemies are operating out of the facility he put out of business would probably send him into a frothing rage. Still, Dolores doesn’t want to rush anything. After film was put out of Roger Rabbit’s Dipping, no toon wants to get too close to anyone even suspected of being with the TTR.
>>46301385
>Okay. My boss would like to have a conference with Doofenschmirtz. Possibly combining our shared land. If not, we will be contemplating other actions.
Doof only wants the Tri-State Area for the time being, thanks. He's devoted to getting that before moving on to anything else. Now, if you can help him get that last bit Shego has...Then, he'll talk and given you're at war with that Super-lover already...
>>46301323
I've wanted a picture of an elderly, decrepit Syndrome for a while now. I think he'd look something like Grey Mann, but in a hoverchair that looks like a cross between Metron's chair, Professer X's chair in the 90s X-Men show, and Syndrome's killer robot in the Incredibles movie.
>>46301471
Cut down his Robustness and Intelligence. Those are super high. Same for those Skills at 10.
Here Come The Judge is a little much, especially with his high stats. How about -2?
Dip would be equipment. Also, toon or not, boiling acid/paint thinner should still be painful.
Should we include Doom's Kangaroo Court as +2 Persuasion?
>>46301561
We have a Battalion of Krono Kops on standby in case of fighting in Nevada and I think that's the closest unit we have. We'll dispatch them at once.
>>46301491
NPC: Craig Deldain
Craig is a sour faced bastard, hired using a shell corporation, Timepiece. He was given around $4k and told to insert himself into the goings on in the Red Car Cafe. We put him on a plane to California, he was also tasked with sending reports weekly but we haven't heard from him for the last two report periods.

Honestly wasn't sure where to put this, so I'll let you guys make that final decision.
The Kangaroo Court: Jury selection in Doom Town is easy, Doom allows anyone on the jury who can sway the final verdict his way. With such power at his control, its best to pay your bribes on-time to the police. Depending on whether or not the bribes are good or not, treat this as a +/- 1 to 3 in any legal matters while in Doom Town.
As for the Dip, in the movie at least Dip doesn't seem to do any harm to Eddie Valiant during the final confrontation, the only way I can see it doing anything is if it's ingested or sprayed when it's superheated.
>>46301918
Ehh, forget about the DIP, make it as a torture thing, not a weapon you'll see in combat unless you have a toon, instead have the Weasels to be the weapons: Bullets are unlockable in any way, instead you must so dodge or do a "they went that way!" to not get hit. In fact let's make them a gimmicky set, instead of attacking, one must use "toon" logic like how Eddie make them laugh to death, or using charm to lure them into a attack.
So something like...
Power: Toon Logic
The fact is that Toons have a very "special" outlook on the world. They can remove themselves from handcuffs when they think it's funny. They can take massive weights right on the top of their heads and only suffer from literally seeing stars for a few seconds. This makes toons nigh-invulnerable, but it is also their weakness. The fact is that toons can be caught up in anything from a song and dance routine to a round of slapstick that can take them out of a fight.
Been a while since I last saw these threads.
What's the current world being worked on?
>>46302243
Pretty much, yeah, in gameplay terms, why don't we have it so that checks of strength turn into charm in a way?
>>46302332
Heya Plane. It's been a while.
Since a new 'modern' movie came out, we're mainly talking about Gridlocked. It seems like we have enough funny animal movies/shows to justify them being a semi-common occurrence in the setting.
>>46302477
Gotcha. Anything in need of writefagging right now?
>>46302543
God, I missed your writefaggotry. If you watched Motorcity, try something with that? If not, how about something involving Doofenshmirtz and another villain?
>>46301300
You should put St. Canard in the same area as Duckberg. They're supposed to be real close, so how about right above Duckberg on the map?
Instead of giving Doom Town a specific city outside of LA, why don't you split the Tron dot down the middle so it's half Doom/ENCOM?
Also, could you color that spot in California you gave to Syndrome back to red?
>>46302669
Afraid I haven't seen much of Motorcity or Phineas & Ferb, but I can research a bit before writing.
>>46302841
In that case, just do whatever you're comfortable with. You really should watch those shows when you can, though. They're pretty good.
>>46302786
We own said sector. No deal sir.
>>46302922
I'll probably try something with Judge Doom since Doom Town is the topic at hand.
>>46303110
From a purely aesthetic point of view, I liked it as it was before.
Also, I did some digging when I found an error on the Saturday Mourning map. As it turns out, I uploaded the wrong version of the map to my google drive. My bad. This should be the most updated version of the map.
>>46302786
>Instead of giving Doom Town a specific city outside of LA, why don't you split the Tron dot down the middle so it's half Doom/ENCOM?
Not sure how to do that,
WIP new map.
New Map. Sorry. I haven't gotten back into the swing of uploading images yet.
>>46303642
Oh so San Fransokyo and Kronos Corp are fighting now. The Battalion for Doofenschmirtz will have to wait if this what the current map is.
>>46303642
Honesty the only thing I want to change is to simply give all of the Tri State Area to Doof, the goal is so specific that I think it should be fully completed.
>>46303840
Where do we put Middleton, then? It's heavily implied to be in Colorado throughout the series.
>>46303864
We can have it at the border as a comprise, possibly due to a mutual agreement that Doof will not retaliate if nobody is interfering with those three states.
>>46303936
Done and done.
>>46304024
Yeah that's great, now, looking back, I don't think we can have Star vs the forces of evil to be of any notable area except for two ways:
>Star is at the border school
Or:
>Star becomes uncaring about collateral tearing up EVERYTHING.
Also, can we find a way to addCarsinto one of these?
>>46304078
>Cars
Maybe Syndrome or Drossel could find a use for these robots? That orHerbie The Love Bug is their leader.I know he was used as the sample party's mode of transport but hey, things change.
>>46304154
Well you can say that the race has become what is FIFA today, a land of scandals, and bad judges all under the highest bidder after Check Hecks took the Dinoco license from the king, and used it to manipulate the committee. Herbie can be a Car sick of it after it's last driver fell victim to a gang-up attack. Lightning becomes the new Doc, sick of what it has become but still sacrifices himself every once in a while if the town needs the money.
>>46303840
>>46303864
>>46303936
>>46304024
If you do that, then Doof has no reason to be in one-sided conflict with Shego. Could you revert that change?
>>46304078
I've got you covered.
>>46304154
We were using him as the busted up ride of the Gridlocked canon party.
>>46305845
>If you do that, then Doof has no reason to be in one-sided conflict with Shego. Could you revert that change?
We could just change that setting element.
>>46305874
Why yes, we could, but I'm arguing that we shouldn't.
New map. Fixed some minor pixel errors and made Doom Town a land. Going to have to write up the map legend again later so that the lines are all straight.
We're beginning to run out of fitting colors. How about we make Todayland a red dot, and make half a black dot for Doom Town, and make the beige Cloverleaf Industries?
Or we could make a half black dot for Doom Town and leave the rest to San Fransokyo. In Judge Doom's victory scenario, he gets highways all over the US anyway.
Is there anything we can do with the 1970s Escape to Witch Mountain movie? It supposedly took place in Las Vegas, which would set it on Syndrome's land. Maybe characters can get psychic powers from the experiments that were performed on Tony and Tia?
I don't know much about this, but it is a kickass idea and my group as a whole would likely love to see this shit happen.
>>46304154
Syndrome is about cybering up humans, not talking cars. Send their asses up to New Kaon and let Megatron deal with their shit.
>>46307373
This game is best when you're playing with people who love Disney. They'll get all of the injokes and cameos.
>>46307601
Wrong setting. New Kaon is in Saturday Mourning. We don't know what's going on with Gridlocked's Canada (probably nothing important), but I doubt they have Decepticons.
Also, watch your mouth. The Kronos Corporation is a family company!
>>46307786
We're barely a company. But we will handle a transfer of Cars to Doof. He transforms household objects into servants.
>>46306416
Now speaking about cars, I think that if we're going to add places for them, it should be the Los Angles speedway and/or Radiator Springs.
Also, let's talk about Herbie, do we consider only the Love Bug, or Fully Loaded? I think Fully Loaded should be added in some way, it's ending can tie in with the ending of cars, or we can have it like in the beginning of it where it's hanging out in the scrap yard, in fear of the crusher.
>>46306416
I think that the Oregon triangle should really just be a four land group, Kabuki doesn't really seem like a guy to who'll take lands just because, and I think that it'll open up space in Southern California/Upper Oregon.
>>46268770
>The Swim
I like it.
Where's Tron?
I will only partake if the Grid is involved.
And now that Star Wars is Disney property, as is Avengers, how does this change the setting?
>>46310415
He's right, there should be a patch of some sort of forest green in New York city to signify Loki and the Chitari.
>>46310415
Forget star wars, the universe is too big, MCU might fit with Loki in starting ragarok.
>>46311176
Oh, trust me. You know that pet project with video games? I have something planned for Loki and the rest of the Marvel stable and maybe beyond:Tragic Books
>>46310415
>I will only partake if the Grid is involved.
They are there in Gridlocked. In addition to MCP's control of The Grid, there's Clu's various terminals.
>>46312362
Awww yusss...
>>46310462
Well for the sake of discussion I say only Original Trilogy. Like parts of California being occupied Vietnam Endor, Antarctica housing the rebel base, the moon being blown up (the resulting rings could house treasure planet fun and Thanos scheming) and replaced with a death star, Tunisia being blown to shit and filled to the Brim with Tusken Raiders and Krayt Dragons.
Basically the Empire is treating earth like the American army treats the middle east, informing the local governments on how to stamp out "terrorists".
Why has Doctor Doom not carved his name upon the Earth? Why is Latveria not the jewel of the Balkans?
>>46312606
Because Latveria sucks and Dr. Doom is a fag.
>>46312606
>Why has Doctor Doom not carved his name upon the Earth? Why is Latveria not the jewel of the Balkans?
Oh God...Look, let's make a deal now. For the time being, we're sticking to properties Disney made themselves. Pixar still counts as they've been Disney-distributed their whole existence but everyone else? Save it for the expansions. Let's stick to animation for now.
Working on a new map and a new expansion to go with it. Here's a hint: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB_v5w9NwUU
>>46306416
>he gets highways all over the US anyway.
Oh my God, that's where the Cars are! Doom's slaves.
Does anyone have a blank map?
>Gridlocked
>Cruel Network
>Saturday Mourning
>Vidya Villains Victorious
I love all these ideas, don't get me wrong, but maybe we should try and focus on one at a time rather than go all over the place with these?
Maybe focus on Gridlocked for now?
>>46313576
Let me try and make a little thing:
Radiator Springs: After losing the last piston cup due to pulling out to save The King, Lighting released that the sport is now filled with corruption, returning to radiator springs, he strikes a deal with Judge Doom: Lighting will begin turning the area into a notable tourism location, and Doom will redirect the Highways, saving the town. Lighting still is bitter over that race, and is now trying to make a new racing league to combat the Piston Cup.
>>46314454
>Maybe focus on Gridlocked for now?
We kind of are. We've finished the KLRs and Fluff, it's just the mechanical stuff we have to finish and that's always a hurdle with TG projects. As one of our resident...Fluffers...Writefags, I guess, i'm wokring to get the next project's Fluff done. I've had trouble finding the next project as the new movie's coming out have meant that we've had to revise Gridlocked as the floodgates of Funny Animals have opened. I think I might have settled on our next project, though:Make Mine Marvel
>>46310415
>Where's Tron?
To expand on >>46312362, the MCP took control of ENCOM years ago, and made all public computer systems part of his Grid. All computers and programs made nowadays can trace their roots to ENCOM and the MCP. The exceptions to this would be the virtual citadels ruled by CLU 2.0, who is trying to subvert both the real and digital worlds to his will with his materializer.
>And now that Star Wars is Disney property, as is Avengers, how does this change the setting?
Not at all. We're not touching it.
>>46314454
We're not REALLY working on all of these at once. Well, I'm not. It's just a list of everything we already have. Gridlocked is our main focus right now.
>>46314640
>Make Mine Marvel
>our next project
Can we not? There's already Marvel systems for doing Marvel stuff with. Besides, we have enough on our plate as it is now.
>>46314711
>Not at all. We're not touching it.
Not here anyway as I have some sort of Expansion Addiction.
>>46314775
>Can we not? There's already Marvel systems for doing Marvel stuff with. Besides, we have enough on our plate as it is now.
Yeah, guess you're right. I'll check some of the other stuff off before heading there. Maybe some time in the future but not for a couple expansions at least.
I'd love to start doing drawfaggorty for Gridlocked again.
Maybe if this thread is still here tomorrow I'll do a little sketch or two.
>>46268327
Alright, im willing to finish Gridlocked so that we can move on to Cruel Network; what else needs to be done?
>>46268770
Screw all the other villains, you let THIS GUY run a City State?!
You sick bastards
>>46315390
Well of course; it doesnt help that by having all these new villains and monsters around provide a exciting new cast of contestants, but also provides a way for the other nations to boast. Afterall, if your mooks can survive Chris' death trap of nation, that does wonders for propaganda
>>46315316
>Alright, im willing to finish Gridlocked so that we can move on to Cruel Network; what else needs to be done?
KLRs for the new guys and stat blocks for lots of other people.
>>46316525
Can I get a specific list of the KLR? That makes things easy for me
>>46316541
Flintheart Glomgold of Duckburg and Negaduck of St. Canard.
>>46318178
I see combat in the top right of Kronos Corp domain. Should I roll to win that territory, because I doubt Drossel is ready to negotiate.
>>46319307
What is that supposed to mean?
>>46319341
Well in Risk threads, you would roll to decide winners.
>>46319571
This isn't a Risk thread. This is a homebrew setting.
>>46319855
I didn't say it was, I was using it as an example.
>>46320847
One change I considered was making more of the north part of the Wasteland (to make it more widespread), but it should be fine as it is now.
How would American Dragon: Jake Long sort into all of this? Would the Huntsman get his wish to wipe out the dragons? Would the Dark Dragon wipe out a ton of humans? Both? Neither?
>>46321491
Tough to say about Jake Long. His show center around Manhattan and that's the Gargoyles villain Domain.
>>46321715
I thought it was New Jersey. Oh well, my memory is spotty when it comes to things like that.
>>46321715
Weren't there plenty of episodes involving other mythic creatures? Plus, the Hunt Clan sounds like a force willing to act as mercenaries for Xanatos when he needs a force able to travel abroad.
It's been two years and the traits/powers list is still far too small. Where are the Heroic versions, too?
>>46322349
The PDF will probably have a better list in it when it comes out.
So I came up with two ideas for what I guess you could call the "El Dorado" of Gridlocked.
The Wastes
North of New Hampshire, there is a land only a hearty, brave, even stupid few would dare call home. A place devoid of civilization, filled with the ruins of the once prosperous small towns and cities. The few people that dare to remain or who were unable to escape the calamity the befell them live with the knowledge that every moment they remain up north is another moment they could be vaporized before they even realized what happened.
The only real landmark is the crater that was once the small fishing town of Rockwell, the place where the Wastes were born. The gutted, skeletal remains of brick storefronts and outlying farmhouses bely a great battle. Rusting tank wrecks and the bones of soldiers remain in mute witness to the carnage.
Above all these remains, there is one creature, though perhaps that is too humanizing a description. Rather, there is the Giant.
Refugees fleeing south to Xanatos territory spread tales of a metal behemoth that became a monster on the death of a small boy. The military forces sent to contain the giant only created the monster, and for years the Giant has roamed the blasted remains of Maine. No one dares to enter the wastes, except for the occasional team spying on the Giant in another attempt to try and take his technology for their own. To date, Xanatos has given up on the creation, and Syndrome still loses Omnidroids trying to contain the Giant. Only the Galatic Federation might know what the Giant is, but their concern is to not draw the Giant any farther south than it currently roams.
Gov. Kent Mansley, the State of Rockwell
Kent Mansley is a man who knew that the Giant was a threat, but after managing to hold young Hogarth Hughes hostage Mansley had a threat pointed south towards the other nations.
Mansley gave the Giant an ultimatum: Serve me, and Hogarth will live. Disobey and Hogarth will die. Unwilling to see his friend dead again, the Giant bowed to the will of his new ruler. The people of New England fell in line quickly, along with the military forces that came to try and contain the Giant in the first place.
Putting himself in power as the governor of the region, Mansley’s new nation is akin to a hermit kingdom among the other powers of North America. All others at first mocked the idea that this small power thought it could stand against them, until a force of Syndrome’s omnidroids were wiped out by the Giant when they tried to seize Rockwell. Now Kent Mansley takes in all comers who think they can fleece Rockwell’s leadership.
For Mansley, the only end-goal to running Rockwell is to retake the rest of America from the madmen and criminals that took over. The infantry companies, the tank platoons, even the small naval fleet that patrols the coast, Mansley knows that the best resource he has against the other forces is the Giant. For now, Mansley sits pretty in the former Rockwell City Hall. He puts forward an ideal America taken back from the megacorporations, where the sweat of a man’s brow means an honest day’s pay and a warm meal waiting after his shift. Everyone goes along with him, for to speak out is to become the Giant’s next target.
Land: State of Rockwell
The State of Rockwell, Maine, Vermont, and some of New Hampshire and Massachusetts, are almost picture-perfect recreations of the ideal American era. Small farmhouses ringed by white picket fences dot the region, with small cities acting as the financial centers and regional garrisons to secure the land nearby. Rockwell has some small manufacturing capabilities, but nowhere near the level of Kronos or Xanatos. This has inadvertently become a security measure for the people of Rockwell, as any technology more advanced than vacuum tubes and AM radio broadcasting means that Clu and the MCU have no foothold in the region.
Rule: Apple Pie and HUAC
Rockwell is the ultimate Red Scare state, even if the only communists are to the south wearing mechanical bowler hats.
For the citizens who remain in Rockwell, every day is another political obstacle course. The military police watch the citizens, the citizens watch the MPs, and the Giant watches over all.
Heroes inside of the state will typically stand out compared to the average citizen, and their eagerness to prove their loyalty to the new rulers means that trying to ingratiate themselves with the population would be a risky prospect.
Still, there are those within Rockwell who wish to see Mansley’s reign ended. Careful heroes might be able to contact this underground, but just because the underground is set against Mansley doesn’t mean they won’t give up the heroes to anyone who could make their lives easier.
>>46323017
We already have the B&L Wasteland, though I could imagine the Giant wandering around and destroying any guns or people it can find.
>>46323034
>>46323053
This one I have more trouble believing for two reasons. One, Gridlocked is far into the future. Kent Mansley would be quite old by this time. Or dead. The other problem would be the nuclear missile that would have blown up Rockwell without the Giant saving the town.
What happened with the play testing? How'd it go?
What do you know. American Dragon: Jake Long really did take place in New York. Going by that, I would assume the Huntsmen wiped out all of the magical creatures that they could. The exceptions to this purge would be the magical creatures that signed up with Xanatos Enterprises for protection, as not even the Huntsmaster can defy the might of David Xanatos.
>>46268327
>TG
Transgender?
>>46329032
Xanatos os probably at war with the hunts clan, but if anything thailog is going to be the real villain of that area
>>46331349
While Thailog is definitely a threat, Xanatos is indisputably the King of the New England / Xanatos Enterprises area.
>>46331466
Thing is xanatos is so smart that you kinda want to keep him in charge, because he sees why kicking the puppy is a bad idea
>>46331488
Xanatos and Doof are by far the best villains to live under. Doof is incompetent at evil, and Xanatos is so good at it you'll never notice if you were part of his plan.
>>46332076
Syndrome isn’t trying to actively fuck up people, he's just anti-super. If anything he makes regular life better.
>>46332366
>Syndrome isn’t trying to actively fuck up people
Yeah, that's wrong because-
>he's just anti-super.
He is in a constant cold/hot war with Shego and kills and/or experiments on any supers he can get his hands on. Plus, his KLR notes that despite being all about 'equality', only the wealthy get the best cybernetics Kronos can offer.
I want to adjust this setting to a D&D campaign. Which would be an ideal land for a low level party to start?
>>46332996
For vanilla? The east coast americas
For grid locked, doof's territory
Cruel network, maybe kingdom con carne
>>46332996
Have you tried just using the DVV system? Its really simple and already has everyone started out.

Yeah, I'm fascinated with it, but my gaming group is stuck with D&D for now.
>>46333731
Boring. Tell them to be experimental and try new things out.
>>46334084
Yeah, we've tried. It's no use, really, and please don't insist that we should, it's just gonna be circle jerking.
Bump before bed with some art I'm working on (I'll try to clean it up more by tomorrow).
Goodnight anons.

Still not actively fucking people.

>Still not actively fucking people.
"Supers are harshly persecuted in Kronos territory, and anyone showing signs of developing powers must be taken to the nearest Omnidroid to be deported, executed, incarcerated, or salvaged for spare parts." Notice the second and last ones.
>>46339493
Kindly, refer to when I said earlier about being Anti-super before you try to learn me.
>>46339869
He kills and or does horrible torturous experiments on people who MIGHT have superpowers! That's more then just Anti-Super! He's a terrible ruler to live under!
>>46339939
>Syndrome isn’t trying to actively fuck up people
Yous also said this, I should note. I'd say "kill and/or torture innocent people" is a bit beyond that.
>>46336509
Now this I like. Considering that toons are a thing now in Gridlocked, we might want to add an animal person to Gridlocked Team Prime.
>>46339939
I'm pretty sure that still falls under Anti-super. That's just an assumption.
>>46342989
Pretty sure that anti-super qualifies as trying to fuck up people.
>>46342989
>That's just an assumption.
As a reminder, I WROTE that particular bit of Fluff. I think I know what I meant.
So I don't see Traverse Town on this map, what happened to it?
Should we assume that Kairi never got her heart back and is Maleficent's slave?
>>46347114
>Should we assume that Kairi never got her heart back and is Maleficent's slave?
What happened is that Kingdom Hearts is't involved as its version of how the "Disney Multiverse", as it were, functions doesn't gel with our world at all.
>>46347114
This isn't Kingdom Hearts. That didn't happen here. Maleficent rules the Fae Lands, but that's because she killed Price Philip and there was nobody to stop her from expanding her borders.
One Bump before I leave for work.
This concept and system seems really interesting! Reading over it now, thanks for bringing this back.
>>46348887
Glad to see you like the game. The 1.0 PDF is going to be released in a week or two, so stay tuned for updates.

You're an idiot ,more news at eleven.
Alright, I've been slacking off for too long, time to write some fluff.
I was thinking about writing a piece about the toon railroad in Doomtown, but I can't find any information on the 1d4chan page or the googledocs. Can anyone clarify for me?

>Land: Los Angeles
>The city of Los Angeles has retained the art deco stylings of the era Doom took power in. Clogged with cars and the urban sprawl that comes with the freeway, the city is divided into two distinct classes. The rulers are the human citizens that work the majority of jobs in the city and run the city government. The Toons are viewed as menial laborers and performers, supplementing what work they can find in the movie and TV studios by performing in dive bars and underground clubs.
>The fact is that crime runs rampant in Los Angeles, but few people are able to speak out against it as the crime rings that operate in the city are quickly placated by Judge Doom. Of course, criminal hideouts are raided and corruption is occasionally rooted out. After all, you can’t have the voters getting too unhappy. The corruption in Los Angeles all flows uphill, fattening Doom’s pockets and making the LAPD his own personal “fun squad”. Criminal gangs from San Fransokyo, illegal refugees from Kronos, even the rare escapee from the Oregon Triangle, all they can afford and then some goes right to the city courthouse. That’s for humans though.
>Toons have no chance of fair trials or justice in their lives, and to them the only path out is to try and run to another nation. Unfortunately no one will take them. Los Angeles is still the entertainment capital of the world, pushing out movies and television that remains the gold standard in the United States. This has resulted in all leaders quietly agreeing with Doom to capture and ship back any Toons that try to escape. Escapees are punished severely, and are obviously sighted out in the city by their missing fingers, ears, or whatever Doom can Dip away without making them useless.

>>46299359
>Of course, oppression breeds resentment. A small underground of Toons and their human allies have formed to try and combat Doom’s stranglehold on the city, but have realized too late that they’ve become the perfect example of why the city’s police and their Toon Patrol take the actions they do. After all, if the city’s human population is going to lose their “loyal” toon labor, why wouldn’t they excuse the Toon Patrol for what they’ve done?

Thanks, was just making sure there wasn't more that was decided in other threads. I'll get cracking.
Before bed Bump.
>>46360912
Alright, sorry about the wait. Short story about Doomtown, hot off the presses.

>>46361153
Damn. That's depressing. I guess that's the end of Skeeter. Unless, of course, a random band of heroes consisting of a manic pro driver, a teenaged girl with shark teeth, a security program, and a video game character happened to be in the area. But what are the odds of that happening?
>>46361607
You'd have to be pretty lucky to get rescued from the Toon Patrol... and luck's about the only thing Skeeter's got left.
>>46361823
That adds a toon to our Gridlocked Team. I'd say we have nearly all of our bases covered. Wait, we need a super. Maybe we can take off the game character since we have the security program.
Do you have an account on the forum? You can post your stories there so they don't get lost when a thread gets archived.
Back on subject, how are things in Duckberg? What does Glomgold do with the place once he gets Scrooge's money bin? Are Magika De Spell and the Beagle Boys there as well?
So, question. What about the semi-heroes of the setting?
The ones who do what they consider the right thing. Can you see them linking up? For example, Big Boss and Yokai.
>>46362123
I haven't been to the forum yet, but I've been running the fluff catalog google doc. It probably needs some serious updates, but I'll stick it in there. Still, I should make an account.
On the Duckburg front, I'd assume all of Scrooge's former enemies are enjoying an oligarchy of sorts.
>>46362230
There's a few around who claimed victory. Even in vanilla, Gaston considered himself a hero and he came out on top.
It really just depends on whether they've a villain to the audience.
>>46362230
Wrong continuities. Big Boss is in the video game one, and Yokai is in Gridlocked. So I can't see them working together.
In terms of Gridlocked, I could see Xanatos working up a cooperation with just about anybody due to how absurdly charismatic he is. Everyone else is too busy fighting with each other to play nice.
>>46362304
>On the Duckburg front, I'd assume all of Scrooge's former enemies are enjoying an oligarchy of sorts.
Idea: We give Glomgold a unique color again and call it the Calisota Conglomerate. He rules everything in it except the absolutely anarchaic St Canard, which he lets Negaduck keep.
Speaking of naming things, I want to rename the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology area. Can we call it the Yokai Zaibatsu? It fits a heck of a lot more than SFIT does.
>>46268327
I hadn't checked DVV in a while good to see progress being made
>>46268770
Adding CN shows now? Cool. Can I get stats and/or status of pic related or should I try my hand a writing?
>>46364873
Anon keeps uploading the maps wrong, so I'll reupload it.
As for the status of CN, it has some of the KLRs sorted out and like one statline. Since recent episodes of Steven Universe have contradicted what we previously came up with for the setting, we'll have to reconsider the show's place in CN later.

Don't know if you are looking for Mexican themed vidya bad guys.
But there is one I can think of. Carlos Calaca from Guacamelee.
http://guacamelee.wikia.com/wiki/Carlos_Calaca
Granted, Guacamelee is not as iconic as all these videogames, but it's the closest you'll get to a Mexican villain.
>>46297913
But no new writefaggotry?
>>46364873
>>46365358
Here's my ideas, let me know what you think:
Paradigm city exists in a relatively quiet area of Nowhere. Possibly on top of modern-day Chicago.
Roger died in episode 9, crushed by R Dorothy while she is being remote controlled by Beck. He keeps her as an enforcer, but his control device is crude, and if the players release her, they can gain her as an ally. She is a physical powerhouse and knowledgeable about Beck's operations, but is traumatized from the many murders she has committed while under his control (especially the case of Roger).
Beck is a small fry of course, the King of Paradigm city is Alex Rosewater. Ruling from atop his massive skyscraper or fighting in the whitewashed BIG-0, he sees himself as the messianic protector of the wealthy dome-dwelling people of the city. Alex despises the teeming masses living outside the domes, especially when their numbers swell with refugees fleeing the other kingdoms. Most of the time he works politically, controlling the city through his company and sending his assassin Alan Gabriel after any troublemakers who might threaten the domes.
Alex is a paper tiger on the actual battlefield. He and Alan can only pilot BIG-0 and BIG-DUO for a few minutes at a time before the machines reject and try to kill them. The military police put up a brave front but their numbers are too small to resist a determined effort from another kingdom. Widespread belief in the giant robots unstoppable power (bolstered by the occasional calculated show of force by Alex) and Paradigm city's lack of strategic value are the only reasons that such an effort has not been made yet.
>Looking at what I just wrote, this could make for a good starting campaign arc.
Possible good end- if the PCs defeat Beck, Alex, and Alan, then Dorothy can pilot BIG-0 and protect the city while they go on to other adventures.
Guys I made a character for VVV

>Idea: We give Glomgold a unique color again and call it the Calisota Conglomerate. He rules everything in it except the absolutely anarchic St Canard, which he lets Negaduck keep.
Where do we put Zootopia then? It'[s a very West-Coast city so it'd fit perfectly in the Calisota area which is already filled with talking animals. Mostly Ducks, granted but it feels like a nice piece of synergy to me.
>>46369359
Yeah, you're hilarious.
>>46367316
You might want to try the fluff document in the drive to see if it got updated.
>>46367320
I'd normally make a comment about using an anime as being a bad idea, but fuck it. Not only is this a cool idea, but Big O's second season was funded by Adult Swim. That's good enough for me to put it on the map.
Could you make us a KLR for Alex Rosewater and Paradigm City?
>>46369451
I'm going to watch the movie this weekend and get back to you on that.
