An idea for a Custom Move based around the line that WWE uses that it is a family business, not just for the McMahons but because they’re around each other so much. It popped into my head a few minutes ago but here goes:
It’s a Family Business
You are considered family in the promotion, maybe your family has history in the promotion or maybe you just get along great with management. Your Audience counts as one higher than it actually is to calculate your Stroke, in addition, should you ever end an Episode on 0 Audience, you may spend all your Momentum and avoid being fired. If you are out of Momentum you’re out of luck, you’re family but you’re still hurting the business.
I consider the second part just a bonus, it seems like a relatively minor thing IMO. The first part I am considering replacing the +1 Stroke with “Buying additional Stroke with Momentum costs 1 for 1 for you”. What do you guys think?
I like the passive bonus as it reflects the kind of aura of “don’t cross the boss” I think can exist backstage.
True, I didn’t think of it like that, the passive bonus does create a different kind of Stroke that means you can get a lot of small stuff but you still have to work for the bigger stuff. It does make more sense to keep it like that, especially for what this is intended to portray.
