Quiet Year
Blueberries π (Trashpanda), Officer Royce Vanderbilt (Kole), Officer Lio (Lio)



The Crew has gathered enough materials to build themselves a new ship! The rarely-seen head of the engineering department has come out of his hole, deciding to play a major role in the rebuilding of the ship.

The Team

The Senior Engineering Officer finally emerges to help rebuild the submarine in today's game of the Quiet Year!

Streamloot Card parts "found" and by whom Items found through gameplay
Only have 16 turns to fix what you can. Alan vs The Engineering Officers Heart of the engine, a demon crystal.


Very hackd down version of The Quiet Year, Blueberries Pi (racoon, I'm complicating things!)
Rules This clipboard is everything we found from putting the pieces back together To install Jukeboxes Bread Kilns Library - transcribe by an otter person Switchboards - found in parliament Med Bay - most has bee salvaged Beds that tlalli gave, more HP Captain's Quarters
Rules Every turn, a card is dealt, the person does whatever the card says, then they start a project, 2-4wks each card drawn is a week, do a new one, or do the main mission pieces Gremlin in the Engine - will also draw a card and start projects

Abundances

Money

Materials (from s2g8)

and a mountain of silver

No scarcities


Round 1
1. Royce: An unexpected Visitor

Purchase strong metal

Royce Project: structurally reinforce the engine [3 turn project begins]

2. Lio: Secret Stash

Add an Abundance: More hidden money found

Begin the MedBay [will be done next week]

3. Blueberries: Peanut Galley - Chat comes up with a project

Wandercrew decide: Retracable wings for the sub like a kitefish [3 weeks]

Blueberries Pi Project: Propeller with a inner distraction spinners installed [2 weeks]

4. Gremlin from the Engine: Quick Start

Project: Jinxed. Jinx the engine, if a player rolls a 1, something breaks on the sub. Red steam comes from the engine. "Is that normal?" [completes in 5 turns]

Results: Pipe project finished, to stop a cataclysmic event, no engine explosions, segmenting the engine from the rest of the ship structurally. fail safe-ing. The Med bay is now fully functional - Contagious Disease quaruntine area (scared from The Lippening)

Round 2 1. Royce: Committee: A bad Idea project

[2 turns]

Project: Switchboard

2. Lio: Reevaluate: a project is not working out, what do you change it to?

Change the Gremlin's project from jinxing the engine to: Two grabby hands for future giant crab battles!

Project: Add the jukebox to the ship. (weeks?)

3. Blueberries: Passion: a Selfish project, change a current, or do something angry

Selfish: Put loud zippy turbos, muffler like

Project: Designing torpedo tubes for shooting people out for evacuation & maybe sometimes actual torpedoes ...shooting you and your all-terrain motorcycle out of the torpedo tubes....[4 turns]

4. Gremlin: Fast Forward Start Projects

Make the food taste bad, so less recovery rate in the crew, because their food is just ewww[3 turns]

Complete: The propeller is finished. Waterwings are done. Fold out like metal fans, like kit from tailspin -Chitty Chitty bang bang style! Lio: finished jukebox on the navigations deck, comms will jack in



Round 3 1. Royce: Protests: Group protest, scarcity of trust or give up on the torpedo project..

We cease tube production.

Project: Beat the gremlins back. The Gremlin was taking the toilet air, and pumping it into the kitchen to turn all the food into farts. Just incompetent pipes. So now there's no fart sandwiches.

2. Lio: Caught a Spy: No Advance this turns (Just the gremlin on the grabby hands is paused, because every other project is completed.)

Where were they spying from? The engine is a fascination for people, especially the Ducks (the spy group)

Project: Bread Oven - make better by?

3. Blueberries: A happy accident - the project becomes so much more or finish early

Edit the hands, not gripper claws, but actual hands hands? Discuss the design with the crew:

What if we double down on the tentacles, so it spiders skitters over land, and two claw arms with racoon hands - wouldn't have to dock anywhere - could just skitter up as a squad!

Tattoo shows up, lavendar skinned man, 4 armed, "ummm, you gave it racoon hand..." Yea! Its fine!

Painted pin-up girl named Louise for moral

4. Gremlin: Fire: Fire in the Kitchen!

Kill the bread kiln project! A poor attempt to make donuts cause a devastating grease fire. "It was an accident anyone could make!"

Project: Make the engines cost more money than they are to maintain - gas guzzler! Amount of money received goes to paying gas to keep the engine keep running.

Complete: Turbos complete.

Round 4 1. Royce: Oops! something breaks or scarcity

Gremlin project fails!

Project: Escape pods - use torpedo holes already designed,

2. Lio: Crunch Time - Project fails or scarcity?

We lose the abundance of the materials to use finish the Escape Pods!

Project: Finish the Beds!

3. Blueberries Pi: Callout: An Ingenious Idea to a problem

instead of melting the silver - ionize it as a filament lightbulb to create a better energy cleaner source of energy -- Destorys the gremlin's idea because makes it -- Add ECO BOOST on the engine -- some diesel engines thrown in,

4. Gremlin Clash Heads:

Complete: Escape Pods! (Will act like an Escape plan card) Last resort is now an option - weird metal squid, with fin wings, clutching a thing of eggs - Eco-Boost - the switch to hybrid energy sources! Full silver & ionized silvered!

Let's talk about the Pin-up Captain all tentacle legs Pinup girl

akhanasama: good idea - damn: Should we think of a cloaking idea, visual and auditory? Wanderpus: Like a reverse sonar that neutralizes others attempts to locate us akhanasama: Wonder if I could use a Reacquisition card to get that reverse sonar tech installed?


Lets add stuff from the cards!! Lio Upgrades!:

liolevon has played UPGRADES! with 'Akhana's cloaking idea is very neat! We'll add those' |

Now the ship can go stealthy, and distract, it can fly, it can skitter,

Hide & Seek card to upgrade the navigation system

luridchronomancer has played Hide and Seek with 'Find all the things' |

sonars can see through illusions now (because it can seek better)

kuarithunderclaw has played ABILITY SCROLL - Wizard with 'Kole gets the Eyebat gremlin as a familiar, influenced by his success?' |

It looks like it was made of the steam, can't fight, but can do psychic damage, lil gremlin friend!

liolevon has played Loose Lips with 'What secret does the duck hold?' |

Spills the secret to Lio - "If it wasn't for those bears, we would have run bobert out of this town and taken over the city by now. Ducks blame the terrible bears were (now only 3 ducks instead of 5).

stellarvanex has played Hurray! with 'Please don't break the kiln again, not for oil frying' |

Lil has a lil donut frying station, can't be moved, little instruction plaque.

All-Terrain (land water sea, and rifts)

Cloak

Stealth

The ship is now segmented, so non-catastrophic structural failure.

Armory is right under the engine. 5 Shield cards = protect for 10 DMG.

luridchronomancer has played Shield

---liolevon has played Shield with '*Contributes to Engine Defense Fund*' | ---stellarvanex has played Shield | ---koleijon has played Shield ---not4givn has played Shield |

septarius has played Shield with 'Shield for Engine' |

Ship will now block 2dmg as a permanent shield, and now the armory could explode but wont hit the engine.

wanderpus has played UPGRADES! with 'I want torpedooooots' |

We disguised the escape pods (totally functions as torpedoes, motorcycles, ballistic weapons, just well-lubed up and unstoppable. greased up skips across the water being shot out the torpedo tube as a hazin gritual lol.

Fancy med lab propellors Ducks leaked bear info We have turbos Switchboards upgraded Jukeboxes - Traveling more with the sub The beds back - allow everyone back to full HP & AP, everyone can finally relax. We finannyl got he ship back together, and a bunch of missions, the crew is gaining a good reputation, thwarted the lil gremlin. Eco-boost - instead of loosing money on the ship, crew now has a bigger cut increased rift meteorological situation Escape Pods - almost torpedoes Shipwright Tools Captain's Quarters was installed

causticlullaby has played It's Free Real Estate! with 'Library ON LAND GFDI NO BLOWING IT UP' |

The only limit, is how absurd you can be. You can't be small silly. This game is as weird as you make it. Liminal is fairly normal physics but with magic, but Some rifts gonna get weird -- we were 8-bit, was in a western,


How about we dont break this for a while. Only reason we'd ever use the airship, is now if we wanna go on missions and not draw attention to the uniform, keep it for the secret missions, quiet, and lets us be in two places at once. HTML Wanderpus, sounding like the slowest moving metal hummingbird

Clementine literally drinks acid and enjoys all kinds and likes to make them more potent and effective for boom, but that's just him personally on his own. he tries to be helpful otherwise and pitch in any way he can
