Oh, didn't realise it was WIP. It does look a bit barebones, but it has all the basic layout.

>>47309457
Huh. I can't find it on the gdrive. Not in WIP, not in Completed. So here's my local copy.

>>47309654
Oh god it's .Hack all over again.

So if someone just up and GIVES you their soul, what're you supposed to do with it?

>>47309677
Turn it into a weapon, if they were badass enough.
Or pop it for 50% of +1 Str.

>>47309670
Lllloooook at you, h-h-hacker-Oh, wait, that's Shodan/System Shock, my bad.
>>47309677
Sacrifice it to Great Cthulhu. of course.

>>47309670
.hack//sign had an amazing soundtrack. That's more than half the reason I watched the show, honestly.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHevn5JqVfw

>>47309670
Or SAO. Gotta level up dem cooking skills for the Waifuing.

>>47309677
Crunch it and add it to a salad. Maybe make a weapon out of it, but even if it would make a good weapon it would likely just end up sitting around in my collection.

>>47309677
Use it as leverage to make them my servant.

>>47309664
It's really bad, though. I mean, Jesus, look at some of the perks. "You can actually use more than one skill at once." Thanks, that's really worth a capstone. What is a subclass, anyway? Huh, do I hear crickets? Oh well. Let's see... You can use skills in different ways than intended." Man, what a relief. It's not like that's what the second fucking arc is about. Major Guild Leader, Nobility, and Royalty are totally each distinct enough to be worth filling three out of your twelve slots for perks.

I wish we had a Jumpmaker who actually read the light novels and knew the setting well enough to make something good.

>>47309677
I animate a Doll body from Nechronica with it, and adopt them.
At least long enough to get them back on their feet.

>>47309759
Not the WIP maker, but I'm curious. What would you like to see in a Log Horizon jump? What suggestions for one would you give?

>>47309829
Not that anon, but I would like to see meaningful perks. Lvl 90 could be a similar perk to Lvl 100 in Overlord and would include the items that high level players have that are "unavailable" to lower level player who did not obtain them before the apocalypse. The ability to use the system to equip items that were made post apocalypse would be a nice perk too.

>>47309759
thats why its a WiP. More to the point its an old WiP

and why I am waiting to get the time to read the LN. I also specifically said that if some thinks they could do a good job they were entirely capable of going ahead and making their own with my blessing back in December

Look at the moment i'm busy working on fluffing out Gundam Seed, and would like to actually finish Dynasty Warriors if I can get a chance to play the latest game. So if you would like read the books and make a jump.

In Overlord does being a lvl 100 magic caster increase your actual intelligence at all?

>>47309829
Honestly, what I'd like to see is no People of the Land background. I'd like to see four different backgrounds focusing on players - Drop-In based around the people who just joined like Minori and Tohya, one for Crafting players, one for Raiding players, and one for Social players and/or Shiroe-type manipulators. I'd like for the perks to actually feel like things you'd see in the show, rather than just random silliness and things you could already do just by being part of the world. I'd also like to see the descriptions of the races and classes used to flesh out the flavor of the world rather than just shorthand and "go check the wiki."

>>47310049
You see this would have been helpful to have been suggested a year ago when I was actively brainstorming for the project.

>>47309718
The quickest way to a person's heart is through their stomach.

-Year 19 DLC 2: The Blind Ork Shooter - +500CP
Team: Slagshifta Brothers
Items: Red Paint (50T), Comfertable Bitz (225T), Boarding Plank X2 (50T), Sloggin' Powah X2 (50T), Shoota X4 (200T), Big Fat Tires (50T), Flamer X2 (200T), Oil Slick X5 (250T), Bigga Fuel Tank (75T), Extra Armer (50T), Red Paint (50T), Rokkit Boostas X2 (150T), Dokkin' Bitz (100T)
Boys: Shootas X4 (300T), Burna Boy X2 (200T), Weirdboyz X4 (200T), Painboy (100T), Mekboy (150T)
Vehicles: War Buggy X2 (100T), Wartrakk X2 (200T), Wartrakk Skorcha (200T)
Ship Upgrade: Skullkrusha Mega-Cannon

>>47310092
99% sure I suggested this or something similar when the WIP was first published.

>>47310049
With that system Dual Class could be a capstone for the Raid Player origin, preferably one from the came category like Priest/Druid or Summoner/Sorcerer.

>>47309700
Yeah, it used to be super easy to find the soundtrack online until Sony, I think it's Sony who owns it, went on a DRM tear and started taking it down from everywhere.

>>47309670
I know they aren't the best games, and lord knows there's probably too many of them, but I loved those games all the same.

170. Worm
Location: New York
Origin: Drop-In, Age: 17
Perks: Outside Context Problem, No Such Thing as Collateral (-100), Blending In (-150), Meh I can Take You (-300), Spanner in the Works (-300)
Gear: Worm, Costume (-50)
Full Line Up (-300)
Drawbacks: On the Radar (+200)

Chimmy: Villain, Soft Physics
Falco: Villain, Inference Engine
Roberta: Villain, Sting
Ko'el: Villain, Sensorium
SoB: Villain, Imaginary Form
Asriel: Villain, Topography Manipulation
Isaac: Villain, Reverse Engineering
Toby: Villain, Assimilation, Cauldron Vials (-300)

There are dozens of times while reading this that I thought to myself "And here is how my jumper would change that", but honestly, most of the events are worth stopping well before they happen. I just have to fight the Simurgh at Canberra, dismantle the Slaughterhouse Nine (Bonesaw gets help, Burnscar gets separated from her shard and therapy), keep Mouse Protector safe, make sure Dragon and Armsmaster get together, separate Noelle from her shard, get the Travellers home, make sure Foil and Parian get together, out the corruption in the Protectorate without causing the downfall of superheroes in general, help Eidolon come to terms with how his power works and what it's done, and find a date for prom. I am not going to prom alone again this year. I have phenomenal cosmic power, it shouldn't be this hard to ask a guy out.

A lot of other story's shifted because of these actions. I made sure to keep certain character's safe, though. Specifically, I mean. I took Panacea under my wing and helped her with a lot of her hang-ups. Taylor still ended up a warlord, it was just mostly spent fighting other gangs than the Slaughterhouse Nine. Theo got saved from his family.

The death toll for the Leviathan fight was less than 10%, and those were mostly people Armsmaster let die, which I called him out for alongside Taylor. I did let the actual city itself drown, just not the people. The damage wasn't that different from canon, actually.

>>47308925
If I were to either hope or lobby for an unfinished game as a jump, I'd go with Star Citizen. Sure, there isn't much to anything for a story but I love the ship design.

>>47310134
If you did, then I missed it because its not in my notes. But its in there now.

>>47310300
Isn't choosing a power for the jumper 400?

>>47310358
Any chance we're actually going to see something come from this? Because now I'm finally feeling a little bit of hope. Please don't crush it.

>>47310306
Also, Battleborn is better anyway.

>>47310374
As I mentioned earlier I really like opportunity to sit down and read the books, and that means getting the books and the time to read them, which isn't easy for me.
If no one makes the jump in the interim I will eventually finish what I'm working on.

>>47310381
I loves me some Gearbox, and while I would love to see a next gen Borderlands I'm glad they aren't going the way of the annual release.

Is BB any good?

>>47310371
I didn't take a power, but:

>Parahuman (Roll 1d12 for power category, then 1d8 for power. 200cp to choose either category, or the power within a rolled category, 400cp to choose power. Optional):
means you are correct.

Choosing for companions is forfeiting free CP, so I just rolled for one of them to get some Cauldron Vials. Those are strictly Toby's to hand out how he sees fit, so they should see some use among the crew of the Kerykeion and Light of Terra, and maybe to friends he makes in jumps. He doesn't see a reason to give me one, though.

>Full Line Up (300cp): You may import up to 8 companions, each one gaining an origin for free, including their associated freebies. Beyond this they have an additional 300cp to spend, but in all other aspects function as the Cape import above. They may forfeit the free cp to instead choose a power rather than rolling. If you wish you may purchase this multiple times, each purchase letting you import another 8 companions.

-Year 23 DLC 4: I've been Working - +500CP
Clan: Makurtu Gabe
Doomtrain: Leviathan-class cab
Encounters: [15] Calm before the storm, [23] Broken Land 4, [34] Pyrocane +8, [62] Refugee Convoy, [25] Breakdown -3, [53] Dust Storm -2
Supplies: 17 left

>>47310444
>I'm glad they aren't going the way of the annual release.
So am I. They need to wait for a fresh crop of dank memes to mature before they start fermenting them into a delicious Border Beverage.
Stale memes are only good as a garnish.

>>47310473
Oh right sorry, I got Full Line Up and Complete Arsenal mixed up, not sure how I managed that.

>>47310517
No worries. Thanks for checking my math.

>>47310444
It's great. Excellent cast of characters, decent gameplay, and the ever-coveted co-op story mode I wish Overwatch had.

ISIC would make an excellent Companion, for one thing.

You know who you are, I imagine.

But what MAKES you who you are? Of all your experiences, of all your tendencies, of all the little pieces that make up your Jumper, which do you consider the "core" pieces, the most important ones?

Let me slap on my name here for a few minutes to be all official.

So, this is a rather rough, early version of the Arcanum Jump. It's just to show those who were excited about it what direction I'm taking things. It's also to make sure I'm not heading in a direction that people will wildly hate, because I did switch things up a little bit.

Is there a perk out there that would stop the butterfly effect from making your mere presence in a setting disrupt the Rube Goldberg of fate that is needed for many plots to function?

>>47310680
My complete disregard for morality and ethics in the name of personal power, simply so I don't have to sit and bind myself to the rules of others anymore. This combined with my utterly negative self-worth is probably the biggest reason why I've managed to doom many worlds in the name of 'my people.'

Still doesn't mean I'm ever going to stop.

ALL. HAIL.

>>47310889
Belka please go.

>>47310834
I don't think so, but the Game of Shadows perk from Sherlock Holmes could help you control it.

>>47310834
I don't know of any specific ones, but luck perks should at least help in avoiding accidentally dooming the setting if it'd doom you as well.

E.g. Genforge has a luck perk (literally named "Luck"), which includes the line "events tend to turn out better".

>>47310917
_No.

I am too buzzed to competently answer questions, but I'll try anyhow.
My desire for friends and family is one of the parts that I started with, and hasn't changed. I recently moved away from my family, and being the eldest of a rather large gaggle of sisters when I started my chain, and I was lonely.
Having met met my Starter/Wife, and Soulmerging with them as time went on, we became the center of a enormous family of companions. And now I dote on companions like they're my children/little sisters.
The act of doing these things keeps me grounded. Especially in the face of another of personality traits.
I like to mess with people.
I like to confound people.
I like the look of incredulity as context breaks down around them.

Which can be dangerous for lategame jumpers, so, soulsynced waifu keeps my head on my shoulders. I try to keep the cuh-razy for when we need it.


I'm a little more than buzzed...
Imma go to sleep. See y'all tomorrow!

Jane Doe here with the latest update to my Dinotopia WIP. Looking for comments and critiques.

>the feeling you get when there's only one thing left to add but you can't for the life of you think of what it should be.

>>47310795
Comments:

>You may as well have fallen out of the sky for all you know what's going on. You find yourself in your Body-Mod form
Wording it like that makes me think that I’ve lost access to my other alt forms. Is that the case, or are you just trying to say that we don’t have a form granted by this jump for this jump? If the that is the case, perhaps change the wording to state that the jumper arrives in whatever form he or she left his or her last jump in.

>Races:
Personal preference, but I hate when jump docs link me to sites outside of that doc in order to read about the jump. Might not be a big issue for some folk, but I know we do get people who have shitty connections who download things on wifi to read and fiddle with while they’re out and about.

>Backgrounds:
There are a fuckton of these. Not a bad thing, just a comment that you’ve put some work into that and that you’re going to have a lot to update and balance.

>Perks and Items:
Not much to say without seeing more

>Drawbacks:
Given that No Longer Exempt and Locked Away are doing similar things, kinda, they should have some relationship in pricing / rewards.

Interested to see what you do with this.

>>47311034
Destiny seems far more powerful then the other capstones, basically a nerfed PTV, and should be reduced or changed. I Hope You Choke On It is the opposite, in that it's got much less use then the other capstones, not including the PTV-lite. That one should probably be made to be something stronger.

>>47311038
>Personal preference, but I hate when jump docs link me to sites outside of that doc in order to read about the jump.
Agreed. And it's a PITA when six months later the linked site is 404 and new jumpers are up shit creek without a paddle.

>>47311033
Oh, no, absolutely not. They're just placeholders for the moment.

>>47311038
In order:
1. The wording is indeed a little rough on it, but no, you don't lose access to anything, you just don't get a Race and Background.
2. See above.
3. True, but I just couldn't ignore the ton of Backgrounds the game itself had. Some of them were just too much fun. I wasn't planning on giving away too much in the way of stats though.
4. Yep, true.
5. Both of those are pretty much placeholders at this point, but I agree.

>>47311009
>>47311030
Thanks guys.

>>47311034
>One Raindrop Raises the Sea
So, just being pedantic here, the way its worded it sounds like your reputation, as an absolute value, is tied to whether or not you solo things. Does that mean that if you solo something on a Monday you're a hero, and then if you work with a group on Tuesday you're forgotten? I doubt that's what you're going for, but I want to be clear. If you're not going for that, maybe you could tease the wording such that your reputation /increases/ based off of group size and that working with a group will not ipso facto hurt your aggregate fame / reputation because of this skill.

>I Hope You Choke On It
This is the weakest capstone out of the bunch. I'm not familiar with the property, and it sounds like you're channeling something specific here, but measured against the other capstones it feels a bit meh.

All in all, this is solid. There's a bit too much white space in it for my tastes, I like jumps that are a bit more compact, but outside of that and the comments above this seems pretty neat.

Good job, Jane.

>>47311034
Adding to what that other anon said, you could bump up the other capstones to match Destiny.

>>47311171
I think it'd be better to bump Destiny down. Dinotopia isn't a series on the level of something like Worm, it makes no sense to be giving perks on that level out.

>>47311166
>maybe you could tease the wording such that your reputation /increases/ based off of group size
That makes it the opposite and hurts solo.

>>47310795
Looks pretty good to me so far.

Though I guess I'd say don't forget that the inverse applies to Magic versus Technology as well, although most people don't usually see it.
But I remember playing through the game, if your tech score was high, your magic would be really weak.
I ALSO remember walking through the Vendigroth Ruins as a high end magic character and actually taking periodic damage every couple rounds just because of the high end tech that was everywhere, which made it probably the most dangerous area in the game for me. It was actually an unsettling experience, what with my ridiculous magical powerhouse that nuked everything up to that point.

>>47311186
Sorry, I worded that wrong. I meant to say that it can only increase if you solo something, but not decrease because you work with a group.

After watching The Flash I thing I've come to realize that Super Speed is the best power ever. From the perspective of a speedster everything is in slow motion, or at least they think and react so quickly that it might as well be. If someone tried to blow up an entire city to kill you, you could simply outrun the blast! Seriously with the exception of other speedsters they have to make up reasons why he can't just speed blitz everything just just to give Barry any challenge.

>>47311188
I was planning to use the Vendigroth Ruins as one of the starting locations, and I was going to make a note there about the extremely advanced tech actually interfering with magic. But you're right, I am going to need to clarify that moving forwards. Technology interfering with magic just doesn't get much screen time, even when you're playing a high tech character like I was. Except for healing spells not working on you. That's what I remember more than anything else.

>>47311319
That scene is a joy.

>>47311281
And now you know the only reason why Manyfist made that jump.

>>47311319
This is exactly what I am talking about, how do you ever beat that? and he was being gentle, at that speed he could have easily just shoved his finger through heir skulls if he wanted to!

>>47311477
Oh get off it idiot. We have plenty of series that give super speed to some extent.

>>47311477
I thought it was so that he could be his own vibrator.

>>47311492
Doesn't disprove my point, ding-dong.

>>47311491

>>47311507
Now that was funny.
>>47311514
I am talking with the caps for jumpers, that being said both Speedster and Omega Super Speed (the two strongest speed perks) have soft caps that would be even softer if you took both.

>>47311514
>pic related
And nothing's said for the fact that the human brain's not built to comprehend that degree of information being rushed into them.

Comic science, ladies and gentlemen.

>>47311319
God that scene is my favorite part of the movie.

>>47311318
So... from these five panels, are we meant to infer that Deathstroke is a speedster even better than the Flash, so long as the former stands in one place? Or is that what you meant by "make up reasons", i.e. the writers pulled Deathstroke's move out of their ass?

The detonation velocity of C5 plastique, if it's similar to C4, would be (roughly) 8km/sec or about Mach 23 at STP, and Deathstroke manages to move his sword from his front right across to his left and then reverses it to impale Wally behind him in the time (probably under a millisecond) it takes for the plastique to finish exploding. Wally is apparently fast enough to evade the explosions but not the sword.

>>47311630
What anon means is that comics are inconsistent and bullshit.

>>47311593
Speedforce son. Heightens one's perceptions and reflexes to match one's speed.

>>47311630
Like all speedsters, Flash moves at the speed of plot. Don't bother with the math. Having said that, >>47311514 was a fun read.

>>47311514
>>47311653
If light seemed frozen could you even see anything at all? Fucking Speed Force, how does it work?

>>47311182
I disagree, Destiny is worse than Pact to Victory, and costs more. If you make it worse, it'll be kind of bad for a capstone. And what do you mean it isn't on the 'level'? Most of the Perk in Worm are about leading and commanding people, not powerlevel shit.

>>47311593
>>47311648
You know, it's stupid when fukken Shonen Manga - even with it's stupid levels of escalation - somehow stays more consistent than the Big Two.

>>47311662
Likely something stupid about needing to move your eyes into the light to see.

>>47311182

Destiny was meant to just give you a top-level mental checklist. I can play with the wording to reflect that.

>>47311166
For One Raindrop, I definitely see the need for clarification on that. I feel like the only way to buff Choke is to either make it a general regen perk or shorten the time it takes to regrow a limb. And it's funny, I was told that a previous edition was too cramped.

>>47311182
>>47311171
I see Dinotopia as a low-power, low-to-mid-danger Jump that would be good for the beginning of a Chain, and I was trying to keep perks and such low-key to reflect that.

Thank you all for your help.

Speed Force is always the answer.

Especially after Kevin Smith's episode which reveals the Speed Force is actually sentient and can make you see shit.

>>47311477
Nothing wrong with making a Jump because you want something from the setting as long as everything else is interesting. Aside from Vigilante being weak and It Was Me being 300 CP worth of drawback with a 600 CP price tag, I feel like Arrowverse fits that nicely.

>>47311673
It's essentially the same as the Path to Victory power offered in the Worm jump. It's far superior to any of the other capstones.

>>47311678
If it was meant to be that then yeah, would appreciate a rewording.

Can’t… resist… the ears.

>>47311675
>You know, it's stupid when fukken Shonen Manga - even with it's stupid levels of escalation - somehow stays more consistent than the Big Two
Except not really because Shonen manga is one series written by one author whereas big 2 characters are usually in multiple series at a time written by multiple authors and have had numerous different incarnations and writers over the past 50+ years. Consistency over that time period or just between multiple writers in general is practically impossible.

>>47311678
>I feel like the only way to buff Choke is to either make it a general regen perk or shorten the time it takes to regrow a limb.
Like said, I don't know the property but I don't think that'd be a bad way to go at all. Just make it a good regen perk, as its a capstone.

>And it's funny, I was told that a previous edition was too cramped.
Eh, there's a balance and I can be nitpicky about those things. My biggest gripe in that respect would be the pages where you're only using a quarter of the page and the rest is blank. Lots of unnecessary scrolling that way.

>low-power, low-to-mid-danger Jump
If that's what you're going for, and that does come across in the doc, then I think you've more or less nailed it. Just balance a few of those perks out, relative their in jump peers, and you should be good to go.

>>47311662
That's pretty much everyone's reaction to the fuckin' Speedforce. Honestly, just don't think about it too hard.

Example:
- Speedforce allows Barry Allen to run through Space-Time, both literally and figuratively.
- Barry Allen at one point while running down the side of Mt. Everest slipped and fell through the Dimensions into Earth Two, kick starting the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
- As mentioned earlier Wally West outran Speedster Death.

So, just generally speaking, the Speedforce is bullshit in general.

So this may seem like a Stupid question but where can I find the ability to sprout wings on a human Form?

Path to Victory is much stronger.

You get to 'See the Path' which is a step by step strategy guide to whatever goal you have, it is literally Contessa's power without the 'Walking the Path' bullshit that would make you literally unbeatable by anything other than Scion, the Endbringers, and Eidolon who are specifically immune to it.

DC frequently has their head up their ass with power levels and scaling. It's one of the distinctions between DC and Marvel. That isn't to say that Marvel doesn't do dumb shit, just that Marvel doesn't try to quantify it and their mythic shit stays mythic for the most part. DC has gods for street level heroes and, just bluh. Not getting into it.

>Not at all. Establish a specific set of parameters for each character's powersets to fit into, and let each writer explore the different stories they would regardless of that.
Writers would ignore the specific set anyways , and frankly they should. Continuityfags are cancer. Story should always trump continuity and most of the best comic stories have ignored or contradicted stuff established know continuity.

Speed Force is basically the glue that keeps everything together and vibrating at different frequencies so they don't crash into one another. Speed Force is connected to every universe, so when he outran Black Racer (Speedster's personification of Death) Flash was tapping into this Speed Force. Which is why he was able to exist outside of creation (his universe) because he was partially in the Speed Force which exists outside of all universes. Black Racer is death, so without life there is no death. Which is why Black Racer was defeated, because it's not a Speed Force entity.

There is a Drawback in worm that basically suggests hiding in a hole for the entire jump. Golden Morning almost recommends that you fuck off into deep space.

Just like Jumpers having waifus, comic book writers have their pet favorites. The idea that Superman is suppose to be "best at everything" often appears. Dates back to the Silver Age where he was just a plot device not a character.

Same way Bat God came to be, Batman lovers got chance to write a series of comics for Batman. So they're jacking themselves off over how awesome Batman is. Then when next guy comes along, he's like "fuck Batman" and goes out his way to make Batman look like a jobber.

>>47311998

The thing I mostly took away from the cape genre is that you don't have to read everything. It's just not worth it as an investment of time or money or interest. It's honestly best to go by author or arc if you want to find stories you enjoy, not character or title.

But there's nothing you can do to stop it.

Get in the bag.

A question for SMTAnon and apologies if this has been asked before, but: How powerful are you after the jump? I know you can fight on par with aquman with Dormant Power-boosted capstones/1000 cp races, but is that continent busting, or planet busting or what, especially when translated to more mystical settings? Could you fight, say, Mab from Dresden Files?

Ok, but you're missing the point. This is a choice game, and those only work if the choices are meaningful. If one background is clearly worse than the others, then it's not a valid choice, and you need to either take a look at it, or at the others.

Well, not part of this discussion, but I kinda want to chime in on that. Just because a choice is quantifiably better doesn't mean that it's necessarily more meaningful.

I didn't take Speedforce on the Arrowjump because that power / powerset doesn't make any sense for my build. Sure, it's a big power gain, but it wouldn't fit with the various themes that I'm running so I avoided it. So while on one hand I get what you're saying about intra-jump balance, and believe me that's something I'm conscious of, I want to point out that different jumpers prioritize different things and as such assigning meaning based off of power isn't the best way to go.

If we were talking about a stand alone CYOA, I might be more inclined to agree with you, though.

>>47312085
>>47312109
Filthy normalscum, die.

>>47312166
I know I am going to regret making such a wide-spread and vague ruling. I just fucking know it. Buuuuut:

You can safely consider your offensive power to be somewhere between city-level and country-level. I'd say state-level, but I'm pretty sure people don't use that as a classification.

Offensive power is not the same as destructive power, mind you. Even if your attacks technically have the power to destroy multiple cities, they are not necessarily widespread enough to do so.

>>47312205
Give some feats for the two and I can give you something concrete to work with.

If you mean in general, I can do that too, but I'd need like an hour to research stuff to find the right characters to powerscale from and make sure I'm not high- or lowballing them.

>>47312235
Yeah, but what niche is vigilante filling? You've got backgrounds offering incredibly useful magic, technology, and immense social influence... And then a background which is literally a freebie with a 600 CP drawback, and whose 300 to 600 CP skills are regularly seen elsewhere cheaper and better. I don't think I've seen anyone go Vigilante, and I don't blame them.

>>47312079
Ravenloft has an item where it'll save you from death twice.

Lovecraft has a perk that should you die you instead go into a coma for a week to recover.

I think its Kid Radd that has a Boss Form perk or some such that locks 9 out of 10 perks but should someone kill you, it unlocks all your perks and you are back at 50% HP.

And then a bit of an obscure one is Tales of Demons and Gods. Should you advance past the Legend Rank, you can start cultivating Heavenly energy. Once you've obtained enough and broken into the heavenly realm ranking system, you can form an extra life.

You set the life down somewhere and as long as you are within like 1000 Miles of it when you die, the life is lost instead and you don't die.

Its vagely mentioned at the end of the Jump and I had to go read the LN to figure out what it was talking about.

Anyone know what's up with the imaged Zerg jump in the uploads folder? Last I checked OAA hadn't returned and was planning to do some updates alongside releasing Protoss and hadn't given permission for it to be imaged.

>>47312189
I find it odd that no one ever talks about the perk that lets you build comic book tech. The applications of that perk certainly don't make it an 'invalid' choice.

>>47312079
Not truly and extra life but Undertale has Determination which saves you from a fatal attack once per jump, I believe RWBY has a perk that does the same but I can't remember if it is once or once per jump.
Ravenloft has an item that does that twice.
None of these are extra lives though per say, you are still equally as fucked as before something should have killed you just one of their attempts that would have otherwise been successful fails.

>>47312308
Wait, a what?

>>47312308
OAA's given permission several times in-thread that anyone who wants to can image his jumps.

I'm guessing someone finally took him up on that offer.

Damn, we're nerfed that low post jump? I know I've harped on this before, but there are jumps of lower power level than SMT that offer better offensive power than that (around continent-planet busting is the max I know of), usually for a cheaper price as well. It makes no sense for SMT to be made weaker than that, especially since it being higher power better represents the setting. I'm not questioning how you've balanced the jump internally, I just think you over compensated with the nerf.

>>47312307
>Lovecraft
No, it says if you are mortally wounded. That's different from dying and all it does is allow you to heal from that injury over the week. It'd be broken as fuck if you got an extra life for every week.

>>47312303
Someone who just wants to do the Arrow bit, I imagine. Not everyone who builds posts, I know that I don't post my builds because I play fast and loose with costs in order to make the narrative of the jump fit my overall jumper story.

The problem is that the Vigilante tree is suppose to represent the martial artists of the Arrowverse and they're canonically the weakest out of that group. So, from a design perspective, where do you err? Do you buff them to put them on par with the other heroes or do you nerf the other heroes so that they're on par with the martial artists?

It's not a great tree, I'll give you that, and I don't want to get mired into defending it, but I just wanted to chime in and state that just because a tree isn't as balanced as its peers doesn't mean that it's not a meaningful choice.

People didn't go Reyvateil in Tonelico, when KOTOR finishes the OT jump I'm going to be going BH because I think that'll be the more fun experience.

Like said, I get where you're coming from, but jumpchain doesn't need to be balanced in the same way, to the same degree, that something like an MMO is balanced where all the classes and choices present quantifiable parity.

Looks pretty enough. Is anyone going through it to make sure the text jives with OAAs text version?

Yu Yu Hakusho is at least continent busting from author in universe author statements and the shit Raizen's capable of and the sheer gap in power between demon ranks and the fact that a B rank demon can destroy a country. By default, you have the same potential as yusuke and friends, you just unlock it slightly longer than four years. Touhou offers the power to produce as much energy as star for 600.

>>47312383
I'd presume Asura's Wrath. Also, possibly Touhou.

>>47312478
>Continent busting
No. The guys are like country busting at max at end of series. B rank demons have never been said or shown to bust countries and that's inconsistent with other showings by them feat wise. Raizen has zero canon feats, not sure what your trying to imply there. Touhou? You mean the ability you start off at being able to shoot regular lases and fireballs and need to grow to that level?

>>47312565
Isn't this the original powerlevel for SMT 1 though? Pretty sure the guy has said in the past that it's not like the later SMT games.

>>47312478
By the by, the character that has that power is high mid-tier and only because she had a god grafted into her soul. Not the same thing as training your ass off to gain that continent-busting power.

>>47312565

Man SMT powerlevels either don't matter or are inconsistent at best. I mean I know Devil Survivor 2 practically fucked logic and was basically the escalation outlier of the series by getting conceptual with it but its like this type of discussion happens every time.

I'm not asking him to restore it to the mass-universe busting shit, just relax the nerf a bit.

>>47312622
Really? Everyone is always saying that the only nerf from Contessa's was no Walk the Path BS. Either way it doesn't really make much difference, if the path it gives you takes into account your abilities (including intelligence) it is still an incredible power.

>>47312703
Yeah, it's a great power since it lets you skip the whole "What the fuck do I even need to do" part of trying to figure stuff out. Still, I need to sit down and try and iron things out better, clarify, and make sure the way I handled everything the first go around was really the best way to go about it.

I'm gonna be honest, I never heard SMTAnon reference the fact that SMT1 was out of continuity with the rest of the setting. Especially since the jump references the universe/planet/ice age shenanigans as reasons for your power being brought down.

Well that reminds me of a question I have had for a while: How would Path to Victory grow with time and use like the other shards? The way everyone was describing it made it seem like it had no magnitude and therefore could only grow by obtaining the spark.

Would the way PtV grow be by giving you more precise and detailed paths?

Also in the case of Complete Arsenal, would it grow in number of slots, strength of powers it gives you, both? Though I imagine it would be even slower than other powers either way.

>>47312777
Ha ha. But seriously, what upgrade?

>>47312774
Wait, really? The jump states that, but I've honestly never heard anything about that setting that states that.

>>47312527
All additions I'm seeing:

LAST PAGE SERIOUSLY READ IT.
-Added Defiler Corpse
-Added Viper Unit
-Added Corruptor Unit
-Added Broodlord Unit
-three more origin-specific drawbacks to correspond with the Raynor & Kerrigan stuff.

>>47312789
PTV would get better about the paths it gives you, adapting to how you do things, your preferences, giving you tweaks in the objectives that you didn't realize were things you'd want, and yes, slowly giving you better advice and more detail. Going from "Clear Building Y of targets, approach from the south side to minimize possibility of being spotted by watchers" and similar stuff, to adding in more specific hints like "that window is ideal to put yourself in the best position to engage the first targets"

It's more of an art than a science, and you're never really going to get Contessa level stuff, just better hints and tips to go along with the path basically.

In the theoretical long term you could gain more slots, but mostly it's the powers that you get being better, them taking shorter time periods to pop up, being better suited for your preferences and goals and whatnot, having more influence over what you get if you put in the effort, etc.

Complete Arsenal and Path to Victory both are far ranging enough that they definitely would seem slower to improve than others simply due to their nature.

Because Worm_Anon has made mention of wanting to hear about people's companions more:
>Monkeybite, with the power of rubber hose animation! Doesn't realize how ridiculous his costume looks.
>Dark Falcon, with the power to guess! is too caught up with being mysterious to use her power to it's full extent.
>Deep End, with the unstoppable bullets! is just using this whole super-villain thing to support her rap career.
>Hologra, the master of illusions! Regularly uses his powers to simulate sex for his compatriots when asked.
>The Imaginary Girls! They can be whatever they want! Even doctors!
>Mixup, with the power to warp space! Really pisses off Vista!
>The Tinker Tailor, with the power to steal your shit! Mostly just buys it, though.
>Mortes Ex Machina, he's made from guns! Also, a camera and jetpack!

There's some good synergy in this group. Sensorium and Topography Manipulation are amazing battlefield control. Reverse Engineering and Assimilation makes Toby the deadliest motherfucker on any given non-magic battlefield. Inference Engine and Imaginary Form or Sensorium is great for targeting weaknesses of specific capes or making hasty escapes.

And really, that was all before the jump started. They still had a reputation, and parlayed that into working for Coil, after I cured Noelle and got the Travellers home, of course. I informed them that they should give priority to Taylor's growth, and they got that mixed up and took on mentor roles for her. They still made her pull the trigger during Coil's execution, though. Eventually, through careful perk usage, they formed a sort of evil wards program for children who wanted to be villains. It was actually pretty cute.

Not without prep, not without assloads of training, not from anything the jump gives you barring end jump stuff so that's irrelevant.

>>47312889
Normally I would object to this kind of comment, but I think you have a point here.

>>47312809
Not that anon, but it depends. The Great Will, not YHVH, is easily capable of destroying countless universes, but then again, it's the the genuine capital G God. YHVH's power level veers from needing the Megido Arc in 2 to life wipe a world to the Conception nonsense in Nocturne. However, the Conception requires the big cheese head to follow the metaphysics made by the Great Will.

First to third gen trees can produce light hawk wings. These are planetary level weapons. If you ask your tree waifu, she can give you a personal artifact through which she can project her wings for you. This is most commonly a sword handle shaped from her branches.

>>47312876
So to be clear all powers grow endlessly with time/use but only with in their initial effects, not obtaining new ones. Broad powers seem to grow more slowly due the their growth being spread out and things like CA grow even more slowly since a portion of it's growth goes to improving an aspect that will only show improvement after ridiculous amounts of time/use.

>>47312945
What's wrong with it?

>>47312622
Man, and here I assumed you do get all the steps as with Contessa's version, but lack the autopilot to get the ridiculous micrometer precision with perfect reflexes. Meaning you effectively have to sift through the Path (which keeps changing because you're not doing it exactly right, and delaying to look at it) to get useful information and a general means of approach while the Shard facepalms in the background and yells at you to git gud. Never used it myself anyway, so not much of a problem for me.

>>47312951
It makes us weak as shit and doesn't represent the setting.

>>47312900

Here's a slightly rushed downscale I just exported out. Exact same text as the one on the drive.

Text is not quiiite identical to the original jump, in some places I had to go over the text with OA to trim it down for size reasons. Other than that, >>47312873 here has the changes right.

So... how does it look, while we're here?

Damn, when did /jc/ get so salty about people criticizing jumps?

>>47312951

>>47312951
Nah, it's good. I just jumped it two days ago and it was a blast. Guns, confused pseudo-dante'esq imagery, poppy jazz, and sexy innuendos.

>>47313040
>size reasons
Not justified, as far as I'm concerned. Nuances in the text can be very important. If imaging a text jump, always compromise your graphics for the sake of preserving the text.

>>47312984
You know, people can have problems without being a shit poster.
You're probably right in this case though.
I myself think Red nerfs things annoyingly below canon level, but don't bother pointing it out more than once per jump. It's not like it'll change anything, so why bother shitting the place up?

>>47313082
You know it's possible for more than one person to share the same opinion.

>>47312966
Yes, and they grow additively. So it's not leaps and bounds like you'd see with training perks and whatnot letting you push abilities. It's a consistent and constant rate of "X or whatever" piling up over time.

>>47313029
Having objectively factual information that leads to your desired end goal is pretty great anon. Even the smartest people have their own biases and limits that color things. Knowing with complete accuracy a list of goals to accomplish in order to arrive at the end result you desire with just the push of a mental button is pretty crazy.

Plus, it's a form of precognition. It's not listing out a list of conditions that would mean that you've done it, it's listing out steps that through cause and effect arrive at that desired end result.

Anybody can know that "acquire this much startup money, network with these influential people, strategize, etc" is a recipe for a successful business. The guy with PTV gets a list of objectives that lead to that exact result, not just blurry common sense and practical goal setting.

Just to make sure I understand this right, the 'group' of Zerg units you can buy only last till they die and don't go to new jumps or you get the elite companions with only one of it that does?

The Swarm Hungers basically gives your companions your Personal Xerg Strain right?

That's bullshit. But I don't believe it.

I prefer bancho to you.

>>47313167
Well, Bayonetta's been around for centuries. As has Jeane and Balder. So you're probably going to be taking decades to centuries without anything like perks to speed it up.

>>47313179
This guy is probably even more autistic and deranged than Bancho. At least Bancho has people willing to talk with him like a human being and can recognize that he's done wrong (even if he doesn't know what or why). This guy has none of that.

You know what, that's probably valid criticism. I do tend to come down a bit hard on things that risk becoming a fuckhuge problem. Like the canon Eyes of the World? Apparently whoever holds both literally holds the power of Creation Itself. Like, Capital-G God stuff. So I wasn't comfy with that. I am trying to find a decent balance though, and I need more than just "well you need to bump the power" as points to assuage my fears.

>>47313167
While >>47313188 has a point, it should be noted that Bayo was in a box for a few centuries and had the Left Eye, while Jeanne got to her level during that time on sheer badassery. And seeing as Jeanne didn't have any "you train better"/"you get gains faster"/etc perks... ...good question! Be responsible, be creative?

Rule literal omnipotence combos are sparking events, or better yet, don't sell them for CP. If someone wants to be that guy and say they got god's eyes or whatever just ignore them. Or both if you want. As a rule I'd say "If a canon character can do it, you can too. At least if you bust your ass."
That all said I'm unfamiliar with Bayonetta. Do what you think is best. Maybe say you have been around for long enough to not be a scrub with your purchases? I've always liked playing around with the MCs without dying immediately.
You can get on my nerves at times, but I still like you Red. Thanks for making jumps for my dumbass to enjoy.

So what perks are best for improving rolling attacks?

>>47313749
Electrical Roll from Sly Cooper lets you electrify yourself as you roll around. Aside from that shapeshifting to have spikes or other 'aura' effects that target nearby enemies. I'm sure there's a vampire aura affect somewhere but can't recall where I saw it. Oh, Saint's Row has some aura's you can get with the Halo.

360' sight from something like the Byakugan might help, and Akimichi bloodline also from Naruto can turn gigantic and roll around at high speeds.

The only other things I can think of are elements - getting a good elemental power you can release as you roll, such as those from LoSS or inFAMOUS would be good. I guess if you can find speed perks that are more along the lines of temporal acceleration rather than running faster they'd help. Magicka has a Haste spell that might work for it, and can cast 'armor' on yourself that can do damage to people you touch. It's really fun running around killing enemies with your super speed, so it would likely work quite well for what you're doing.

Hope these help.

>>47313749
Oh, also biological manipulation to have organic or cybernetics to have implanted drug or spore dispensers. Roll by and unleash a cloud of sleeping spores, or knockout gas, or flat out poison people to death. Could get some that let you do extra damage if you actually hit things.

Also I thing a recent jump... X-men maybe? Has a power to let you shoot spikes from your body.

Mario has the metal form power-up that could be good if you're not already a super dense *thing*.

There are a couple of Worm powers that would help hit harder, and even the Path to Movement would be useful to steer your rolling.

Borderlands has shields that trigger if someone hits you in melee, possibly if you slam into them too? If not they have shields that increase your melee damage while down, so it helps you get close and you then do more damage once it's down.

Clone abilities such as the Naruto clones, or Teen Titans Self Duplication, or whichever Alice jump has Tweedlefied would provide you with extra you's to roll at people.

Think that's all I can think of... For some reason I'm thinking something from Deus Ex would help? I guess there was the typhoon or whatever the ball bearings exploding from you was called.

Anyone actually here?

You're not wrong, but technically Strange Journey and Nocturne have way better feats, if we're guaging by pure level cap Canopus is actually lower level than SMT2's YHVH and then there's SMT4 and Final which...yeah.

I still agree with you, though. At least it's not as bad as Supernatural now God's been rendered non-omnipotent.

It would be more accurate to say that I was a secretary or lieutenant. The true hive leader was, of course, Anon.
I happily scouted for resources, remembered things Anon had occasionally forgotten, performed crazy psychotic science experiments, and hung around the base and did cute things.
It was hardly the first stint as a sidekick I'd ever done, although it was probably the most existentially terrifying. My main contributions were preventing Anon from dying in the early game and... actually that was about it.

Although I was able to do lots of experiments with both the trampled Terran tech of Tarsonis as well as biogenetics and engineering in general. Together we came up with all kinds of cool ideas.
Anon said he liked the way I laughed when I did science. I said I liked the way he did science.

I'd mention the Saltcreepers, but outside of "I kept Anon from dying at the start!", there's not much else to say. Once he got into the swing of things... they didn't really last all that long.

>>47313210
I am so glad I've been layering my 'Learns fast and gits gud just as fast' perks.

That Which Hungers for Power

Between Godzilla perks, NGE Angel form, Prototype bio-assimilation, and several other perks, I'm an eldritch abomination with a habit of eating BBEGs.

I fill the spare time with meddling with other plots and/or (usually temporarily) taking the role of the big bad that I just ate.

Really the only reason I haven't gone crazy and consumed worlds and the good powers in jumps is my few companions that keep my sanity in check. They're my moral compass. Woe unto those that hurt them.

>>47314421
Fun facts- according to Metatron in Supernatural, God had to put in significant time and effort to make the single universe that the show takes place in.

Not just that, but his Archangels, of whom apparently top out at continent level power (Lucifer and Michael going all out would have burnt half the planet's surface), were needed to help him beat the darkness. So apparently God and the Darkness are weak enough that 2 continent busters and 2 significantly weaker angels were enough to let God win.

Supernatural's God isn't just non-omnipotent, it's seriously doubtful he's gone beyond planet busting level.

>>47314546
One of my theories on how 'universe-creating' things like that and Dresden Files "can blow up galaxies" Archangels aren't actually that powerful: there's a marked difference between faraway galaxies and the Earth, at least on a metaphysical level. There might not be a magical 'structure' in those galaxies they can create/destroy like there is on Earth preventing them from doing so.
Or maybe, in those universes, the crazy "space doesn't exist" conspiracy theorists are right.

>>47314578
I just think the guys claiming shit like that with zero or even contradicting evidence are full of shit.

>>47314599

The drawbacks supply most of the story, being the guy called on to lead every major cape based social issue while being the most boring means that I'm forced to talk, and no one listens. Besides my class.

On the subject of SMT-I understand it's unlikely we'll get a conclusive ruling with DSanon being missing and SMTanon being asleep so this is just some speculation for now but-does anyone have any idea how SMT "levels" stack across jumps? If you've been an Overlord of Bel and then go on to become a Herald/Chosen of Raphael with Dormant Power, does your "level cap" simply default to the highest one you have? Or do they stack additively?

If they stack additively, since IIRC SMTanon said a Herald would be somewhere between Raphael and Gabriel that would give a mean level of 94 (rounded up) based on their levels in SMT 1, so d'you add that to your "level cap", the 77 from Dormant power or both?

>>47314546
I'm still trying to process the idea that God would apparently have no problems if a pair of mid-high level toohoos, the Japanese cold and Akuma (Street Fighter) showed up to fight on his side.

In all fairness though, Archangels can apparently casually time travel so perhaps there's a bit more to the universe-and by extension, the folks who built it-that means the eye.

In all unfairness though, that doesn't explain why alternate universe future Lucifer who won didn't go back in time to stop Dean from sealing his past self.

Evolution. Criminals. Healing. Divinity.

Its a weird mix to say at least, you got a criminal mastermind of sorts who can both make and find and recruit minions (also cultists), can heal just about anything and sometimes even bring people from the dead without magic being used.
Did I mention the part where he is also a god and in some settings he makes an acceptable demigod with all the power he has (What with creating life, taking battleship attacks to the face and generally being able to wreck the shit of any modern army without any equipment).
He also tries to take Divinity perks to help him back up his claims on godhood, but he is content being 'just' a demigod, he doesn't desire a world spanning religion, especially if he is unable to listen to their prayers.

>>47314081
Japanese high school delinquent, screwup, dualities especially the Eclipse, deconstructed Shonen protagonist, out of context problem trying to make the world a better place through ludicrous amounts of technology.

>>47314506
And he's said he wants to do SMT 2 in the future. Come off it, this kind of drawback isn't rare. You're being ridiculously anal.

>>47315198
SMT 2 still isn't Nocturne which is the only place in which he appears. It doesn't make any more sense then a drawback in the Clone Wars jump about having Kylo Ren after you would.

>>47314081
Darkness, eldritch horror, and friendship.

>>47315257
Or like a drawback in Persona that puts you through the plots of half the rest of the SMT series, eh? Something we already have. These strict setting, lore breaking oddities are not rare. You need to be less... stuck up about everything, like it's offensive that he's doing what half of everyone else has at some point.

>>47315257
I'll have to go with >>47315276 on this one. If only because to turn your analogy against you, Clone Wars already has the Yuuzhan Vong as a drawback, and until the jump I had know fucking clue what a Yuuzhan Vong was because my knowledge of Star Wars comes only from the movies.

>>47315276
Just because we have something doesn't make it a good thing. Or are you going to say doing stuff like PS238 offering you things from completely unrelated settings is acceptable? Should the next jump that get's made have an option to pick a power from any setting? I've argued against the SMT drawback in Persona in the past and I'll say it shouldn't be in this jump either.

In fact, why not have the author explain why he is putting this drawback in instead of having someone else fight his battles for him?

Are there any perks that let you change clothes really fast?

>>47315314
Are you going to say Persona is on the same quality level as PS238? Furthermore, are you going to compare 'things from unrelated settings' to 'things from the same setting, the game's sequel, from a jump that'll be made by the same damn guy'? That's a false equivalency if I ever saw one.

>Why not make the author answer to questions and standards nobody else is beholden to?
Fairness.

I want to make self-replicating autonomous intelligence units that can make their own technology to pilot/control, but I've no idea where they'll get the material or power from. I can hand wave the rest of the practical issues with science/engineering perks, except this one, because I've yet to break the laws of conservation of matter and energy. Help me.

>>47315363
That just sounds like regular nanobots.

>>47315363
Generator Rex.
Go to the damn place and get all the cool shit there.
Done and done.

>>47315318
Reequip from Fairy Tail? At least, I think that's what it's called. It's a kind of magic that handles armor but I don't see why it can't handle clothes in general

>>47315314
I just joined this argument, but-I'd like to point out Dante (or...Donte) also shows up as a drawback in Bayonetta, that the Saint of Killers can make a cameo in the Generic Western jump, that Naruto, Sailor Moon and Evangelion have drawbacks that let you either outright jump fanfics or at least fluff certain fanfic themes into your jump and all those are generally considered to pass muster hereabouts.

I don't agree with PS238's design principles at all, my position is that a drawback based on an event/character involved in the franchise is nowhere near as bad as the premise of "any power, any setting" as a perk-or any artifact in the case of that neckbeard cosplay magical realm /tg/ original setting. I am not, of course, the author and I'm not trying to "fight his battles" for him, I'm simply pointing out there are other jumps considered finished which have similar drawbacks and that I personally think the issue isn't that big a deal given it's set in the same continuity; remember that guy in Nocturne heavily implied to be Aleph's tortured reincarnation?

>>47315367
Nanobots aren't sentient/sapient. They're about as smart, and liable to be dumber, than a single cell.

>>47315346
Both are accepted jumps, meaning that what is in PS238, according to the justification you are using, is acceptable to be used by any jump. Whether one is shit or not doesn't matter, they're both on the drive. And no, Dante isn't in SMT2, something you've continuously gotten wrong. He's in Nocturne, a much later game in the series.

So asking the author to answer why he's including the drawback is forbidden? Once again, if you think this guy shouldn't have to answer or justify his decisions, surely you think the same of all jump makers?

Character Customization from Thing-Thing allows you to switch out any clothes you have in your warehouse with what you're wearing.
Also works on hair.

>>47315363
Acquire the level of super-science that can break the laws of physics, then try again.

>>47315393
How much hair do you have in the warehouse?

>>47315314
>>47315346
>>47315383
the thing is it is known to other settings so it is justifiable in universe.

>>47315412
That is such a gross image.

>>47315414
*parody other settings

>>47315414
Having trouble believing you can justify giving the Hokuto no Ken in PS238 but I'd love to hear exactly how you would. How is it known to other settings and how does that justify giving things from any setting?

>>47315415
I imagine they're just lined up on little mannequin heads, like natural hair wigs.

>>47315424
not anything just martial arts, and I will be happy to Nerf that to kung fu hustle level stuff.

>>47315423
Parody. That's your answer. I think you've fallen to a new level of inane stupidity that I didn't think even existed. Sitcom often make fun of or parody settings and Youtube is filled with endless parody videos. You think those settings should give powers from other universes because of jokes?

>>47315440
I'd prefer if you grew a brain cell and removed the cross setting option entirely you mindless twit.

I asked Val a little while ago if by taking Intoner from Drakengard if I could get that thing that Three has where my hair just perpetually grows all the time, and she said yeah, sure, since it wasn't really that big a deal.
The other numbers (with the exception of Four, who REALLY got a shit end of the deal there) would be too overpowered (and potentially horrifying if taken to their extremes), but Three's was no big deal and is more a fluff piece than anything.

... so now I have SO MUCH HAIR.

>autonomous intelligence

Biomega, Ar Tonelico, Supreme Commander, Code Lyoko, the Matrix and Blame! all have great options for writing AI. Special mention to Blame! and the Matrix where you can configure said intelligence to be a copy of your own.

>material, power and self replicating

Depends on what approach you want to go for. The solar harnessing technology from The Mysterious Cities of Gold is pretty great as a replenishable supply. A source of magic and a magitech perk could also keep 'em topped up with energy for useful work; HP, FF6, Chrono Trigger and Storm Hawks are particularly good for this. Correspondence Course from Fallen London gives you a perpetual source of heat energy, amongst other things. The science of Symphogear runs on phonic energy i.e. the emotional energy of songs if that's more your style. And Minecraft has both some decent energy generator systems, and a style of alchemy which can be used to create resources out of nothing which is compatible with technology.

If you want to buff the nanites themselves? The grey goo from Gargoyles can do some really impressive things with far less energy than it should realistically take. Sohon from Legacy of the Aldenata's psychic nanites can work up strange matter to build things normal matter can't make. Biomega's RPIP can build absurdly vast amounts of matter from thought energy alone, and Iji's brand of nanotechnology specialises in stealing energy from opponents for all kinds of useful work. Last but not least GUNNM's Karmatron Dynamics and the Regenerator Nano together can apparently break the law of thermodynamics outright according to Mir although I forgot the reasoning why so-take that with a grain of salt.

>>47315462
>Others would be too overpowered
I love that you find giant breasts to be overpowered.

>>47315363
Supreme Commander has the Paragon. It's roughly the size of a soccer stadium, quite fragile (admittedly, only by the standards of its setting, which probably means you could bounce a fully laden 747 off it), and the interior is basically made of explodium (breaches are Bad News), but for a purely technological method of tapping ludicrous amounts of energy and mass in a way that gives entropy the middle finger, it's hard to beat.

>>47315453
so you're saying I should ignore the nature of the work itself? Because that's what I'm hearing.

>>47315485
You should base the jump on the setting, not on jokes made in the setting. The rest of the jump makes no reference to out of setting or cross setting stuff, leading me to believe you are once again full of bullshit in claiming the entire series is based on cross setting parodies.

And no, just parodying the superhero genre is not an excuse, plenty of properties do that.
