should miss minutes have tiny? she doesn't rly feel like a "stand character" by any means.
also didn't Loki & Sylvie both display Telekinesis at points in the show? feel like they should both have that somewhere in their dial or some sort of range. otherwise i really like these so far!
their last 3 clix also feel like would b good for a second starting line at like 30 points or whatever since wizkids seems all about that lately.
Damn, how cool would it have been if Miss Minutes was the real villain all along? I suspect we’ll see more of her in the other multiverse-focused MCU films.

that is a BONKERS powerful Pog... like holy crap... and she's not a unique... I'd play like 3-6 of her on every team.

Fantastic notes all around, friend!
I was going fast when I designed Miss Minutes, so I cleaned up her symbols and clarified her intangibility a bit! Great catch!
Solid point about Telekinesis! I added it to Sylvie's dial. In Loki's case, I elected to depict it as Force Blast, just for variety's sake. Glad they're feeling right so far! I gave each a second starting line to break down to 75/50.
Huge thanks for your thoughts! I sent you some rep after I did the updates!

Haha many thanks, friend! Always a good response to get. I've tweaked her dial some so she's a little less beefy. I'd conceived her as the TVA's version of ffnfaos099 H.E.N.R.Y. We'll say that, uh, power creep got to her...
Folks think Owen Wilson turned in a fantastic performance as Mobius M. Mobius. I’ll admit, I didn’t see as much Owen Wilson in the role as his other recent stuff… whatever that means.
So weird for this series to pitch itself as a buddy cop show then to seemingly forget about it entirely.

Preserving the Sacred Timeline: Mobius M. Mobius cannot be targeted by opposing characters' Outwit. // Once per Game: Teleport/Phasing with a locked speed of 10. Thank You, Miss Minutes: FREE: Move a friendly character named “Miss Minutes” up to half of her speed value. Do You Always Accept Rides from Strangers?: Ram. Passenger: 3 Time Twister: POWER: Make a Close or Range 4 attack that deals no damage. Place a Time Twister Token on the hit character's card and note what their previous action was. Characters with the Time Twister Token modify their attack by -1 and may ONLY do these things:
1. Clear Action Tokens.
2. repeat the last type of Free or Costed Action they made.
3. DOUBLE POWER ACTION: Remove the Time Twister Token.
For Mobius, if they can only repeat the same action as their previous action, it would be impossible to ever remove the time twister token, since their last action couldn’t have been a double power action to remove the token.
I really like Loki and Sylvie. Don't always like references to specific characters, but for these two it makes sense. Not sure if the wording needs clearing up that they only can affect their own stats? And that they have to do the -1 modification to get the +1 modification (not sure if current wording you could choose only the +1)
Part of me thinks we should have a 'Band of Loki's', or 'Loki Variant', or 'Loki and Friends', keyword, but that might be a bit overdoing it.

Many thanks, friend! That'd been a worry of mine when drafting the effect. I've updated the language and I'm sending you rep! Thanks again

Huge thanks, friend! I'm glad they're working for you! You make a great point, and I've updated the language to specify that they're modifying their own stats. I'm sending you rep!
I hear you on the show-specific keywords! In this case, I opted to give all the Lokis the Asgardian keyword, just for simplicity's sake.
Sasha Lane was wasted as a generic TVA agent. I’ll give LOKI credit for minorly using the fascist look of the TVA Agents to touch on the injustices of global policing, but it’s subtle in the series, and honestly something of a mixed metaphor considering that the TVA is healthy(?) for time/space stability. How about the plot fact that all the TVA Agents are brainwashed variants ? How much does that affect the thematic coding?
I have a sense that LOKI’s creators weren’t in-tune with how that aspect of their show would play, but were instead focused on diverse casting (which is fantastic), and really getting into Loki’s psychology (which is a good goal, but with debatable execution). I think if a work is going to be completely, successfully thematically resonant and in-line with its narrative, it has to take all of this into account.

I feel like I’d reserve the “thank you miss minutes” trait for the named TVA leaders only, feels too powerful on a generic personally…. But interesting and creative stuff so far!

Many thanks, friend! Always glad to hear these are feeling good so far. Honestly, I've found most of the LOKI dials tricky to draft, so it's reassuring to hear that they're at least interesting!
I agree with the Miss Minutes trait! I've updated the dial and sent you some rep! Thanks once again!
I love Wunmi Mosaku for her performance in Lovecraft Country and thought B-15 was a decent enough outing for her. I disliked that she got increasingly less to do and that the final episode sets up a major thread with her only to drop it. It isn’t just a question of LOKI having a cliffhanger ending; it’s that outside of exciting MCU portents, it doesn’t have much of substance or clear plot direction. Heck, with the multiversal war jumbling reality and Ravonna jumping ship, there's little reason to believe that her set up will ever have any real payoff.

Many thanks, friend! Thrilled that this one feels right! I realize that every TVA officer could theoretically use all the abilities I've split between the characters... but this way they'll feel distinct from each other.
I'm still not wild about how complicated the Miss Minutes trait makes the officers... but it felt like the smoothest way of integrating her into TVA-heavy games without making the point values wonky.

Distributing the effects is a great way to make the officers more distinct. It’s definitely the kind of trick I like to see for dials of big groups of similarly skilled characters.
As for Miss Minutes, you could simplify the officers by giving the effect to her, directly:
<Flavour text goes here>: SIDELINE ACTIVE: Once per game for all friendly characters, a friendly character with the TVA keyword can use “FREE: If there is no friendly character named Miss Minutes on the map, place Miss Minutes adjacent to this character.”
(Is “place” the right wording now? Whatever the wording for “from Sideline to map” is now, that’s what I mean)
If you want to exclude allies like Loki, you could go the TMNT route, and create two keywords: “TVA” and “TVA Ally”. Officers would get both (like the Turtles of TMNT do), while characters like Loki would only get the latter (like Casey Jones does).
Regardless, since it’s “Once per game”, you shouldn’t need “[MAX:1]”.
I would also let the individual TVA officers keep this:
Thank you, Miss Minutes: FREE: Move a friendly character named “Miss Minutes” up to half of her speed value.
This way, all the complicated stuff is on Miss Minutes own dial, but the officers still keep a connection to her.
EDIT:
If you also want it to be restricted, like pokolo suggested, you could restrict the "TVA" keyword to named officers, with the generics getting "TVA Ally". Something like that. Or just add a minimum point requirement to rule out the generics.
Aside from some wording issues I see on a few things, mostly cosmetic to fit how things are worded now, these are all pretty awesome. I wish we could see more MCUD+ stuff in clix.
