I had a wild idea for a game yesterday, where the players were comically eeeevil supervillains working to conquer/destroy/conquer then destroy the world. The tone would be Austin Powers/TheSwain's Mastermind flash animations. I figure that Fate Accelerated would work nicely for this, but I was wondering how you could implement having hordes of minions to do trivial poo poo. I was thinking that each player has a Minion Pool; you can spend the pool to give bonuses to things. It'd have two caveats: Once you're out, you're out for the scene (need to let HR do its thing, dole out pensions, pay medical bills, send fruit baskets to the families of the deceased, etc)

The second would be that you can't gain more than +3 on a single roll (at that point you can't do any better throwing fodder at the problem). I don't have much experience with FAE so I've no idea if this'd work or not. The alternate idea was each player'd get a special Aspect for their minions, showing what they're good at and what type they are (so a supervillain with a necromancy gimmick who's a caretaker at an old folks home might have Night Of The Nearly Dead).
