FRI-01 Minions of Doctor Shark
Posted: July 1st, 2010, 4:17 pm
Me, Doug, and Evan playing, Brandon GMing his Minions / Apocalypse World spin-off
We had a great time riffing off the "villain placement system" -- Doctor Shark is very sympathetic and understanding, but still murderous and bloodthirsty. The submerged metropolis of Doctor Shark is a great place to work: you can have a frogurt in the atrium, chat with co-workers, watch the sea life dart past the outer dome, then get back to your cubicle and hammer out the details of Doctor Shark's masterplan: flooding the planet.
We got a pretty simple assignment to steal some Unobtainium from a lab on the Jersey Shore, but we decided that, y'know what, it didn't make sense for Doctor S to send us on such a mundane mission. Clearly it was a test of our potential! This was our big chance!
So instead of just stealing the hot U, we decided to also sink a good chunk of the city into the ocean, as an _homage_ to Doc S's masterplan. Just think how great that would look on our quarterly reviews? Minion of the Month, here we come!
