Here’s your quick run down of how to play this:
I give you a handful of choices and set a poll for these choices. the most voted choice is picked and the story follows that path. Pretty simple.
_You can propose an alternative choice but it will only be accepted if I deem it “in character” and if enough people second your choice_
Lets get on with character creation: this will dictate the kind of choices the character can make during the campaign. it comes down to 4 major character traits:
- Strength
- Dexterity
- Intelligence
- Psyche
these 4 traits will effect the choices that can be made as well as alter how easily certain checks/locks are bypassed. It may sound complicated and or intimidating but ignore it. just pick whatever you want/think sounds cool and deal with the consequences of your decisions later during the campaign:
here are the personalities you can choose from:
* * *
> **Average Joe**
>
> Very balanced, Not particularly bad at anything, but also not particularly good at anything.
>
> STR +++
> DEX +++
> INT +++
> PSY +++
* * *
> **Physical**
>
> Very physical. As dumb as they get, but gets things done.
>
> STR +++++
> DEX ++++
> INT +
> PSY ++
* * *
> **Sensitive**
>
> Very psychological. Knows how people work and think, but is also a bit unstable.
>
> STR ++++
> DEX ++
> INT +
> PSY +++++
* * *
> **Intelligent**
>
> Very intelligent. great at piecing together things, but not good with people.
>
> STR ++
> DEX ++++
> INT ++++++
> PSY +
_Poll ([view on site](https://community.revolutionarygamesstudio.com/t/interactive-story-game/3851/1))_
you should have about 1 day (ish, may be less because I might close the poll before the countdown completes) to complete the poll. Pick wisely because after a character type is chosen we’re stuck with them for the rest of the game.
Once we have a character to use I’ll just put them in the world and we can begin.
This is one of those games where you can just hop in or stop playing whenever.
I don’t want to make you feel obligated/pressure you into having to write a response while we all wait or anything like that.

OK, looks like we’re playing with the “intelligent” character archetype. Lets begin:
(also if you want to be reminded every time this game updates i’d advise setting this game to “watching” if it isn’t already

The poll will be done in 24ish hours and may be less depending on whether or not i decide to close the poll early because I can’t be bothered waiting.

You’re spot on regarding the inspiration for the format.
I did have to simplify a few mechanics for the sake of making it easier to manage and converting it into a forum game so don’t expect a full ensemble of talking skills.

Some traits are peripheral and alter your base stat by increasing specific stats and or decreasing other specific stats,
others will change the choices the character can make,
and some are situational and can effect the success-rate of certain checks. eg the “naked ape” trait is beneficial for certain physical checks (it gives a +1 to the strength checks increasing the probability of success) and is detrimental for certain intelligent/psyche checks. What situations they effect are going to be in play will be entirely arbitrary and dictated by me though.
