Usurper: Claim to Power (The God in the Well)

Okay, then.  Time to take this system for a spin.  I've got a little hamlet with a problem, and Sukeribi right there in the middle of it.  Let's find out what happens.

While travelling about, searching for resources, Sukeribi stayed a few nights in a tiny hamlet near the woods, named "Ranu".  The people were weird, but that's small towns for you.  Then, just as he was getting ready to leave, Sukeribi thought he heard a cry for help coming from the old well at the center of town.  Suddenly, a couple of the nearby villagers got really loud, and another came to talk to Sukeribi, drawing him away from the well.

The Department - Sixth Mission


Mission Six: Murder Sweep!

Hey! Didn't you already do one of these?

Well, yes, but that's part of the game. There are only six different missions, plus the unique "boss" missions, so there's going to be some back-tracking in an effort to earn the required evidence. Actually, I would have rather have had a go at the Nightclub or Bust the Lab missions, but I don't currently have a 25+ cm nightclub interior, or 6(!) such interiors to represent the floors of an abandoned building. It's something to work towards, though. :)

For now, we get Murder Sweep again.

The Department of Fabricant Management - Fifth Mission


Mission Five: Bust the Dealer!

Wait!  What happened to the fourth mission?

Well, I wanted to do this mission, but I didn't have enough People Evidence to afford it, so I had to do "Grass the Neighborhood" again.  You've already seen that sort of mission, and not much happened anyway.  I spent 5 Budget, and came away with 1 People Evidence and 1 Place Evidence.  Good enough.  This mission is pretty short, too.

Drug dealers, at least the better ones, have tons of contacts.  Sure, they're probably not tied directly into what you're investigating, but they might know somebody who knows somebody who is.

So, Agent M decides to look up Vinnie Verdun, and ask him a few questions.  The mission costs 5 Budget, plus one of my People Evidence, that I guess lead me to this drug dealer in particular.

Usurper: Claim to Power (Building a World)


Despite my attempts to ignore it, I've become fascinated by this indie RPG, "Usurper: Claim to Power".  I've already made a character, an outlaw scribe from a fallen family, seeking revenge, and this tells me a little about the place he's from, but what about the larger world?  Conveniently, Usurper has a "World Builder", which is what I'm going to go through here.

(Sukeribi's character creation, if you missed it.)
