Event Cards!

Something new is cooking on the JTS stove, inspired by recent complaints that People Were Feeling Cooped Up.

Event Cards! A more ambitious older brother to the upcoming Action Card, these are cards that will require at least 50 JTS Faction Points to access and various RPP amounts to purchase. What do they do? Well, first, these cards provide instant fodder for quick missions. You buy a Salvage Run card, post an +str for yourself and your crew, and a staffer runs the event ASAP. If you have at least 75 JTS points, you can take it up a notch by throwing a 2-card combo at the staffer. And, finally, if you've got at least 100 JTS points, you can challenge the staffer to put on a 3-card combo.

I've got a list of potential event card themes that includes Monster of the Week, Disaster Movie, Mistaken Identity, Safari, Stranded, Exploration, Trade Run, and I'm Bored (basically, a chef's choice card where you let the staffer pick one event theme). Before I finalize the list and costs, I wanted the players to throw me some ideas for event archetypes. Post your own suggestion lists via +str. Thanks!
