How does your jumper prefer to receive their Items from the Jump Doc?
Been thinking about this for a while now. If they buy items for points how do you receive them? Perks are inherent, but what about Items?
I've brainstormed a few options for my jumpers.
The first is to receive them at the start. Self Explanatory, Jumper get the items right out the gate. They can benefit for them instantly, or they can be stored in the Warehouse until needed. Jumper just gets access to them, gets to play with all the game breaking new toys right from the start.
The second is they get the lower level/free items at the beginning, while getting the higher price items later on in the jump, either in universe, or through accomplishing a goal set by the benefactor. This lets jumper access 100-300cp items that are not inherently game breaking or jump breaking immediately. With the ability to gain access to all the shiny OP Items of the higher tier items in jump. Allowing a nice progression through the jump. This would not affect items that are already fiat backed, or item from previous jumps. It would affect only the items purchased in that doc specifically.
The last is Earning the items in jump. You start in as without access to ANY of the items you purchased, and throughout the jump you gain access to them. This allows jumper to use previous jumps items to affect the world they are in currently, and then still get a chance to use their new toys.
I usually pick one option per jump rather than chain. as the author, it all depends on how much fun it would be in the current setting.
How about your jumpers? Do you have similar systems for the jumper?
