If Inversiverse Bastet is from Peyton City, does that mean the current SCRPG campaign is taking place in the Inversiverse? :O The thought of an evil version of Bespoke absolutely terrifies me.
Of course, it's also got me thinking things like canon-verse UltraViolent is actually a svelte woman named Ultraviolet. And Peyton City is like, Haydon City or something, known coloquially as Hatin' City.
Just remember, any time you slam two universes together, it makes the characters into roided-up hatebags who are that much closer to full molecular dissociation.
Oh yeah, and I guess evil Ra is neat, too. :V
Nah, Peyton City NE is boring "fly over country" so it would look the same in good world and evil world
I bet Earth One Cleo is the owner of the cat cafe that got destroyed in Episode 1
I will say again i belive "Duat" would be a proper name for the now helish world/plane/dimension the Egyptian divinities are from
They forgot that Thoth also has a baboon head avatar, people always forget the baboon head. Also about the cover idea with the ibis headed shadow haven't they looked at the heiroglypjics? Egyptian gods always look left or right the never look straight ahead

After five Ennead are killed, I’d make a deck out of the remaining four, and the obvious way is to model it on the Sentinels. Conceptually it should be the two married couples, Osiris and Isis as the gods of justice and love, Set and Nephthys as the chaos and death gods. Plus if you’re cutting Ennead members, Nut is the obvious one to get rid of, since she’s just a walking Kick Me sign. But with the Sentinels inspiration, Nut is clearly the Mainstay equivalent, with Shu matching Dr Medico. The other two, for mythology reasons, should probably be Geb and Tefnut, but I have no idea how to make them fit Idealist and Writhe.
I want a quote from the Shazam movie: when Set sniffs Cleo and says “she has the scent of a god,” Cleo can say “Gross!”
I feel safer knowing that Adam knows Christopher’s personal PIN number to his home computer CPU unit.
They left a LOT of cover art ideas on the cutting room floor. Adam was just like “I don’t wanna do this much work.” Which is par for the course; he sometimes does do that much work, but I doubt he wants to.
EDIT after finishing the episode: To revise my earlier work, I’d present the Southwest Ennead as a deck in which Shu, Tefnut, Geb and Nuit appear, as was my previous plan, but I’d shuffle stuff around a lot from how the Sentinels deck work. I’d replace each Signature (three of which are Ongoings) with a possibly-indestructible Relic, still including a lot of copies of a tutor card for them, but as to the characters themselves, Nuit as Mainstay is the only one that works and is pretty 1-to-1. Geb is no longer a big beefy bruiser who simply draws strength from the earth; he is now a creature of animate earth, possibly still snake-headed but nowhere near as muscular, who duplicates some of the functions of Writhe and a few of the less healing-specific aspects of Doc Med, while other parts of DMMD and Writhe go into Shu, and the actual healing from Medico ends up on Tefnut (who may or may not still be a cat, as there wasn’t really any good reason to make her one in the first place). Thusly, Idealist is mostly represented by Geb, making shapes out of Earth, who also occasionally swallows people into the earth, and is a little “blorpy” like Writhe but mostly leaves that to Shu. Shu gets all the elusiveness powers from Writhe, and can heal a little with refreshing or shielding winds, but mostly lets Tefnut heal with her “moisture” powers (which are heavily implied to be a sexual reference in the original mythology, and I’d depict that a little bit here while still remaining within the comics code, giving her about the level of sex appeal that VOTM Miss Information has in her slinky blue dress). That leaves a little of Idealist, mostly not her Concepts and Fragments but her generally cheerful attitude, also falling into Tefnut’s currently rather absent personality. Now that I think of all this, I like the resulting deck concept a LOT more than I like the four “famous” Ennies that were picked to survive and recruit the new five (or rather the newer one, the older one-plus-two, and the much older one who is an actual god that’s apparently still around somehow despite Anubis being the last one) in the episode.
