First pass at… Media
Redesigning the media was a similar process to the HoS first pass - pretty minimal. I chopped out a lot of the fluff and attempted to distill their game into the relevant parts and after a first pass I felt pretty confident it wouldn’t need much more changing.
A couple of notable callouts of the changes and the things I liked/disliked:
I made their motivations a little more “flexible”, insinuating that it’s OK to be biased.
I like the idea of having them have a base in a particular country. This gives them more of a scoop in that nation (overhearing more) and might present some interesting role playing. I think it’s also important for every team to know the Media home location.
I built some light rules around the ability for the Media to award positive and negative PR to countries, thereby giving incentive for countries to work with (or bribe) the Media team.
