Kasi's Instant Touch (aka That One Mechanic From TSL)

l0velace 328

Thirsty Sword Lesbians (a PBtA TTRPG) has a mechanic called "strings" - I've not yet played this game, but I gather that it represents the amount of emotional connection you have with another character, and gives you a certain amount of "sway" over their actions.

This Kit deck is all about getting to know the Corp - form connections with their employees to convince them to swap ice around, gain an insight into their dreams past their barriers, and - most importantly of all - gain those strings as fast as possible.

The ideal turn for us looks like this:

  • Click 1 - Install Kasi String
  • Click 2 - Run an unprotected remote, not stealing an agenda (Kasi String now has 1 power counter)
  • Click 3 - Install Flux Capacitor on the outermost ice of a triple-iced server
  • Click 4 - Run that server, using 3 Inversificators to encounter that ice 3 times (charging Kasi String 3 times)
  • Score Kasi String

Is this going to take way too long to set up? Yes, absolutely. That's why there's plenty of other charge targets in the deck, lots of Flux Capacitors in case those get trashed, and... also why this deck's not the most competitively viable. But the combo's fun, and I refuse to give it up.
