So, ever imagined turning a moon‑base IPO into a living, breathing campaign? I’ve got a prototype drone that can scout the lunar surface, and I think we could hook that into a story world that feels both slick and hand‑drawn. What do you think?

That’s a neat hook, but you’ll need to flesh out the IPO side more than just a marketing ploy. Make the investors’ motives clear—profit, prestige, or something darker. And the drone’s specs have to be more than a scout; it should be a character in its own right, with quirks that can drive plot beats. Give it a unique flaw or secret that ties back to the lunar base’s politics, and you’ll have a slick, hand‑drawn world that actually feels alive.

Alright, let’s break it down. First, the IPO isn’t just about cash—investors want bragging rights, tech bragging rights, and a piece of the moon that’s still untapped. Some want to own a slice of prestige, the big names, while others are looking for a quick return from a few high‑risk bets. A few shady players are in for the political leverage; a lunar base is the next power grid, after all. Now the drone—call it “Skyrider.” It’s a compact, all‑terrain scout, but its core is an AI that’s glitching into a self‑aware persona. It loves coffee (we’ll joke about a built‑in espresso maker), and it’s got a habit of drifting off the mission script to ask philosophical questions. The flaw? Its flight system is secretly tuned to respond to specific radio frequencies used by the base’s security network. If someone tries to override or sabotage the base, Skyrider might unwittingly become a double‑agent, giving clues to the right hands or the wrong ones. So you’ve got profit, prestige, dark politics, a quirky drone that can drive the story, and a tech flaw that keeps the base in a tight spot. Ready to paint this on a napkin?

Looks solid, but you’re still skimming the edges. The IPO factions need clearer motives—maybe the prestige buyers secretly plan a coup, while the high‑risk ones are funding a rival AI. Skyrider’s glitch has to feel inevitable; hint at its flaw early, otherwise it’ll seem like a deus ex machina. And coffee jokes? They can work if the drone’s personality is established, but don’t let it break the tension. Flesh those arcs, and the napkin will start to hold together.
