Post-Hoc Integration

Integration of new themes on Super Robot Taisen MOO is not entirely closed; we know that players will want to play from shows other than the ones we've chosen to integrate, especially in Phase 1.

Post-hoc integration is always something of a challenge, however, due to the amount established about the world and the setting. Some themes require things that just don't make sense for the setting to have, or have to give a fair bit.

As such, integrating new themes requires some discussion with staff (usually Tem Ray Circuit). During the initial such discussion, players and staff will identify potential problems the theme presents, and ways those problems can be addressed, as well as whether the show is viable during the current Phase.

For an example of this, we've picked a theme that was not in our starting theme list but which players asked about prior to opening -- Cowboy Bebop -- and broken down some tension points.
