So you have to come up with your three-step plan and try to complete it while your Nemesis tries to stop you. Because that’s how Pinky and the Brain did it. Masterminds have plans, and to take over the world there’s always a three-step plan. J: Right? You’d just be like the ruler or whatever. And every Mastermind always has a Nemesis, because you wouldn’t be a Mastermind if there weren’t anybody to stop you. Then during the game, it’s turn-based, so the first player will start by playing that Mastermind character. J: And you also get a tool belt, so it’s kind of like Despicable Me, where they’re always pulling something out and they’re like, “I can help you!” (chuckles) So, you get a tool belt item. Minions all belong to a union – Union 1521. J: And then you also get to make a Minion character. It’s very creative – whatever you want, whatever you can come up with. So like either an item or something about them like, you know, if you have one of those Whipley mustaches or a crazy hat or a secret power, I don’t know.
J: Yeah, they’re going to write down one Quality. JR: Nice, so they write down like qualities that your character has? J: Well, what you’re actually going to do is you’re going to pass your character sheet around the table and they’re going to write something down on it. JR: What kind of input do the other players have? So they’re going to give some insight and make a Quality for your Mastermind. There’s also a collaborative part that I wanted to add in where other people at the table are going to help build your character too. There’s some special traits and Qualities. Well, during character creation you create a Mastermind character. JR: Anyway, tell us a little bit about how this game works. (chuckles) Oh, I’ve got to figure out what to do with the carbon rods… Er, I’ll do that after the interview. J: Yes, you don’t have to build a real one. Maybe that means that I can get rid of this nuclear reactor I’ve been building in my basement. J: Channel your mastermind into this game. J: Well with this game you can hone it all down into this and then you’ll feel much better. Mine tends to try to come out way too often I think (chuckles) but it’s always good to encourage it from time to time.
J: It’s your inner mastermind trying to come out and like, take over. The target audience is the adults who want to act like children. JR: Or those of us who are both adults and kids at the same time. It is lots of fun, it’s zany, it’s great for kids and families alike. J: Well, this is a storytelling role playing game where you get to play a Mastermind trying to take over the world and you also get to play a Minion character who loves to help the Mastermind. JR: And this is for a game called Project Ninja Panda Taco. The grueling part of a Kickstarter – right in the middle. JR: So I see that you are in the midst of a Kickstarter. JR: I am talking to Jenn from the Jennisodes. (The audio of this interview is available at the bottom of this post!)
