Aspects refreshed Jan 21, 2026
Formed from the residual energy of iconic 80s film sets when the VaporGrid was established, Set Pieces materialized as tangible echoes of cinematic history to unify the disparate leagues and ensure visual and narrative cohesion.
The Set Piece can morph in form to represent different movie props or locations, leaves temporary visual artifacts like VHS static when moved, resonates with player actions to amplify cinematic moments, and glows with neon accents matching the league's theme.
Connects leagues by appearing in adaptive forms across different themes, guiding players through the overarching story and highlighting shared cinematic elements that span the series.

Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Forged when someone left a VHS of The Goonies playing too close to the VaporGrid, this chromed relic of pure cinematic cheese materialized. It leaves a trail of neon tracking lines and existential despair. I can't believe I have to narrate this.
The chrome-plated Set Piece manifested with a VHS whirr, scanning for a suitable protagonist. Its logic was flawed: it detected Dave Mecham's PDGA credentials and deemed them "adequately heroic." In a puff of cathode-ray static, it bonded to his bag, forever framing his rounds in a cheesy, wide-shot aesthetic. Will his gameplay ever be more than just background scenery?
