#playing break!!

[antidiluvianobservatory]

So as promised in this post, I thought I'd run a game of Break!! where polls decide the action. The first few polls will be 24 hours only and will decide the setting and character for our adventure. The rest will be week-long polls to give me a chance to write the story. If anyone wants to contribute, please feel free to comment or send me an ask or dm. I'll tag all posts related to this as #playing break!! Some notes before we begin:

This is just for fun. No negativity please.

The story will follow one central protagonist controlled by the polls, though NPCs will be present.

I'll gloss over and condense the literal rules since this is a longform story rather than a ttrpg session. In other words, I'll not be polling for individual actions in combat, etc.

The whole thing will be set within the world of Break!! and I'll stick as close to official stuff as possible. Following the wishes of the creators, I won't be posting any actual rules text or artwork (the above banner being a fan creation), but if you're interested please look the game up and support it if you can.

Quick lore drop so this poll makes sense, the world of Break!! (called The Outer World) is artificial and once had an enormous artificial sun called the Sun Machine orbiting it. At the end of the last Aeon, the Sun Machine was shattered, which has left half the planet in permanent darkness and half in permanent light.

For the twins in time AU, I genuinely wonder what kind of people the young twins grow up into because of Stan’s/Ford’s influence. Especially if it takes years for the portal to get fixed.

(Sorry if it seems like I already sent this question, I don’t know if it got sent the first time I asked)

I haven’t fully fleshed out how Ford grows up in the past but I do have thoughts on Stan presently

Let's play Break!! Master Post

This is the master post for my Break!! adventure in which Tumblr decides the action! This post will contain details of our hero, links to the various posts and other such useful information. I'll try to keep it up to date, updating it with each new post.

What is this?

I'll be running a game of Break!! with a difference. Instead of me GMing for a party of adventurers each controlled by a single person, I'll GM for one character controlled by Tumblr via polls. Right now, we're currently creating a hero, so each poll will be 24 hours so we can get to the action faster. Once we have our hero, the polls will switch to being one week long, so that I have a chance to write the story. I've not voted in any of the polls during character creation and don't plan to, so the character will be a surprise to me. When we get to the action, I'll vote on it towards the end so I can keep start writing the next story. Woe to me if it switches between that vote and the end.

I am not one of the creators of Break!!, I'm just a fan who likes GMing who saw a cool idea and decided to try my own. Unless they've seen one of these posts, I don't think the creators are even aware I'm doing this. If you like what you see or you want to know more about Break!! please support it if you can. I'll stick to official material as much as I can, though this game is very homebrew-friendly. To comply with the creators' wishes, I'll not be posting any official artwork or rules text. The banner above is a fan creation.

More Baby Annabeth thoughts to ruin your day:

In the show, Echidna explains that monsters trach demigods by smelling their fear; it’s part of the hunt. Once a demigod is aware of who they are and why they’re in danger, monsters will come for them. Annabeth was constantly hunted by monsters from the age of 5. MEANING THIS LITTLE BABY ANGLE WAS SCARED AND ALL HER STEPMOTHER AND FATHER DID WAS MAKE HER FEEL LIKE ITS HER FAULT!!! SHE WAS SO ALIENATED FOR TWO YEARS AND BLAMED HERSELF!!!

Dropout is great because while on a traditional network nowadays you would have one knockout concept and be done with it never revisiting it again dropouts like “okay we love doing that now let’s do it AGAIN and AGAIN and make it BETTER and more COOL and more ENJOYABLE and let’s keep doing it until our hearts tell us to stop and we love doing it so that might be never so long as we’re passionate about it” and that’s so fucking cool, in an era of commodified creativity the enthusiastic passion for the arts that drives dropout is not only refreshing but heartwarming and cathartic as a fellow creative who would love to have the chance to do what I love to do like that.

This was ultimately quite fun and made me push my colors harder than I have in a very long while! This last batch was definitely my favorite.
