Early into it's second season of service, The HTML Wanderpus Submarine had a bit of an oopsiedoopsie when its exploding engines sunk the science vessel to the bottom of the bay in pieces. After two long months of fortuitous excursions and rescue missions, our intrepid Wandercrew was able to locate and retrieve
several key original and replacement components for the
HTML Wanderpus's New and Improved Sub Build.

Discord RP & Streamloots

All month in Discord's RP channels, players together & independently devised and rolled out search & rescue plans. For their efforts, and rolls, several were awarded Streamloot cards - after enough cards were collected, "A Wander Piece" card could be crafted and used to canonically & successfully salvage a once lost HTML Wanderpus Submarine component.

Note: Streamloots is currently the most narratively-interactive and financially unique way of supporting the HTML Wanderpus creators & Artists. Thank you so much for y'alls' enthusiastic support!

Fun Fact: The Wanderpus Collections won The 2022 Looties Visionary Award, and Wanderpus/Nika herself is a 2022 Streamloots Ambassador!

Game Rules

Using Alan's hacked version of The Quiet Year, our Officers have sixteen weeks (turns) to complete projects despite the Gremlin (probably related to the red crystal's demon heart that initially awoke thein the Engine's machinations.
Only have 16 turns to fix what you can. The Engineering Officers Heart of the engine, a demon crystal.
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

Round Results:

Round #2

Officer Royce

Committee: A Bad Idea becomes a project

Store all the boom in one place! The Sub's Armory will be one level below the Engine. [2 Weeks]

Personal Project: Switchboard! Tesla Coils for long range communications with the electric arcs being pew pews [3 Weeks]

Officer Lio

Round Results:

Round #3

Officer Royce

Protests: A group protests the torpedo project.

Torpedo tube production ceased.

Personal Project: Beat the gremlin back. (The Gremlin was attempting to create an incompetent pipe system by channeling toilet air into the kitchen to turn all the food into farts. Aww, now there's no fart sandwiches.)

Officer 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)

Personal Project: Bread Oven

Officer Blueberries π

A Happy Accident: A project becomes so much more or finish early

Edit the grabby hands! No longer are they just gripper claws, but actual hands hands, racoon hands!

What if we double down on the tentacles and we can now spider skitter over land, then the ship wouldn't have to dock anywhere! It could just skitter up as a squad! Totally not terrifying!

The lavender-skinned, 4-armed, ex-navigation Officer, Tattoo shows up, "ummm, you gave it racoon hand(s).." "Yea! Its fine!" says the always confident, rarely seen Senior Science Officer Blueberries π.

Personal Project: A painted pin-up of the Captain in full tentacle, referred to as Louise (the pin-up not the Captain,) is hauntingly rendered on the side of the sub for moral.

Gremlin in the Engine

Fire in the Kitchen!

Kill the bread kiln project! A poor attempt to make donuts caused a devastating grease fire kiln explosion.

"It was an accident anyone could make!" screams Blueberries π

Personal Project: Gas Guzzler! Make the engines cost more to run per mission, large portions of mission payouts go to sub upkeep instead of the crew.

Round Results:

Round #4

Officer Royce

Oops! Something breaks!

Gremlin project fails!

Personal Project: Restart the escape pods project, using the torpedo holes already designed

Officer Lio

Crunch Time - Project fails

We lose the abundance of the materials by finishing the Escape Pods!

Personal Project: Finish the Beds!

Officer Blueberries π

Callout: An Ingenious Idea to a problem

Instead of melting silver, our Officers rectify our energy issues with huge innovation resulting in a better, cleaner energy source - Ionized Silver!

The Eco-boost destroys the Gremlin's Gas Guzzler problem!

Of course, some hybrid engine components remain on the ship for future mecha-kaiju battle punches, naturally.

Gremlin in the Engine

Clash Heads

No projects are left to destroy! HA!!

The Crew Assists!

Thanks to the power of Streamloots the crew was able to take action and install their own upgrades to the ship!

Officer Akhana: good idea - damn: Should we think of a cloaking idea, visual and auditory?
Captain Nika: Like a reverse sonar that neutralizes others attempts to locate us
Officer Akhana: Wonder if I could use a Re-acquisition Card to get that reverse sonar tech installed?

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.... 0.o

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

Navigation's 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?!"

The Gremlin, once of the engine, looks like it was made of the Engine's steam, though they can't fight they can do psychic damage. Yay new lil Gremlin Engineering friend!

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

The Duck Spy spills their 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." Note: The ducks blame the terrible bears, especially because they're now only 3 ducks, not 5.

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

The sub has brick ovens installed with a lil immovable donut frying station. A little instruction plaque above it.

Engine Defense! The ship is now structurally segmented to prevent catastrophic future failure; however, since the armory is right under the engine, the crew installs a mega shield between the two components. (5 Shield Cards = +10 DMG Sub Protection) The Sub will now block 2dmg as a permanent shield, and now the armory could explode but wont hit the engine.

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'

Wanderpus has played UPGRADES! with 'I want torpedooooots'

The once ceased, due to protests, escape pod/torpedo project then turned only escape pod project has been secretly upgraded back to escape pod/torpedo shoots by the Captain themself! Fast forward to shooting/squelching out Akhana riding their motorcycle(s)! Fast-Fast forward to greased up skips across the water being shot out the torpedo tube as a hazing ritual.

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

New Sub Features!

Acquired some Shipwright Tools

Cloak & Stealth Modes

Fancy med lab with Pathogen lab!

Distracting Spinners on the Propellers!

All-terrain with Wings & Skittering tentacle legs!

Duck spy leaked pertinent bear info!

Switchboards upgraded! Yay Tesla coils!

Ship has LOUD turbos and otherwise sounds like a metal hummingbird.

Jukeboxes mean traveling more with the sub & airship is now possible!

The beds are back! Finally everyone can relax after a long, stressful, overworked month and refill their HP & AP.

Eco-boost Silver fuel efficiency! Crew receives more

Increased rift meteorological understanding

Escape Pods a.k.a. torpedoes

Captain's Quarters was installed to perfection

We finally got the ship back together, and a bunch of missions, the crew is gaining a good reputation, thwarted the lil gremlin, we doing good!!

HTML Wanderpus is All-Terrain!

The sub is now a land, water, sea, and rifts-traveling submarine, and the only real limit is how absurd we can be! You can't be small silly, this game is as weird as you make it! Liminal has fairly normal physics but with magic, and some rifts are gonna get weird. Heck! In our missions to retrieve ship components we've already gone full Western and 8-bit!!

Clemente 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!
Play off each other and GET WEIRD!
