Once, I ran
a game, which was about a secret organization which developed formulae which gave people powers that were super and random. It didn't work--running a day at a time for half a dozen scientists was a lot of work! I promised that I would reboot it as a suggestion game, so here it is!
You hit the jackpot. Some group in Ely was starting to make formulas that would turn people into superheroes or monsters. You were lucky enough to get some of their computers and equipment in an auction. The computers were wiped clean, but hastily; you managed to recover some of their files, including a list of all the ingredients they knew produced superpowers! Sadly, a lot of their formulae and such have been lost...but you also managed to pick up some of their stocks!
You live in a little house right outside McGill, a puny town of just over a thousand souls and a square mile. No supers, yet. The attic is full of those lovely machines that make formulas and prepare ingredients, the basement is empty, and the stuff in between is where you live.

You are a lucky duck. (C)

C: Confirmed. You know this is true.
D: Doubted. You're not sure, but you don't think this is true.
G: Guess. It could be, but you don't have enough information to say.
H: Hearsay. You heard it said, but don't know if you can trust the source.
R: Reliable. You heard it from an expert on the subject.
S: Substantiated. Tests suggest this, but it's hard to say.
X: Disproven. You know this is hokum.
You have a few possible paths to travel down. You could try mixing some new formulas, work on getting more money, try unscrambling some more files, or just kidnap people and use what you have on them.
