Hello, /qst./ I do not have a story for you.
You might.
Every week or two, I will post an ALBUM COVER.
You write everything else. The setting, characters, worldbuilding, plot, everything. Reply, argue, collaborate. Make it surreal, grounded, epic, dumb, whatever.
There are no right answers. There is only progress.
First 3 to 5 posts set the tone. I’ll consolidate them into a “canon” direction.
Anons can post characters, events, or lore. I’ll pick the best/funniest/coolest ones to advance the story.
If things are messy, I'll mediate as QM.
Every new album is a new story.
THIS WEEK'S ALBUM : THE ROYAL SCAM - Steely Dan
The main character is a beautiful japanese schoolgirl with an advanced regeneration ability. Her flesh regrows at an astounding rate - provided she eats enough protein. Can even regrow lost limbs. Also her boobs grow temporarily when she gets angry or sad. Her base cup size is "C".
And there's a Kaijucalypse
Don't get discouraged, OP. Some threads take a bit to take off. Believe me.
>>6265521Honestly, I was feeling a bit discouraged on the first reply. I do want to refine things a bit, I honestly didn’t expect the first few replies to be so non-serious, especially seeing as how other threads are deep in the trenches of world building
I hope I’ll get there in due time.
>>6266260Didn't you say that you'll pick only the best replies? Just ignore that post.
>>6266323Yeah, you’re right, hopefully some more grounded ones come in soon
>>6265111 (OP)Joe _____ was a man involved in the highest levels of business, and he won his friend and enemies have all gone away (2008 Financial crisis) by layoffs the occasional suicide and some just disappearing.
He won he's one of the last standing, but he's been going "mad" he sleepwalking and having strange dreams see the deteriorating dogs of business waring above and other strange lands when he wanders afar.
>>6265111 (OP)A charismatic conman has replaced the prince or Zambuzikov, who has long been thought dead from a shipwreck several years ago
Looking good so far. I’m liking the ideas being thrown around. Just 1 or 3 more posts and I’ll throw something together and move it into a canon direction.
Honestly considering just starting it from here. Thoughts?
>>6265111 (OP)The gods of the city have chosen a down on his luck businessman to invoke their will. He is granted all the powers of New York City. What this means is determined by his imagination and whatever he can accurately associate with New York City. However his powers are ONLY active in New York City but can theoretically affect outside places as long as the inital effects are in New York. Not the state. The city. That said, he can do anything he can think of if he can justify it? He can pull infinite money out to spend on Wall Street(or anywhere else), crash stocks, create a Ray's Pizza on any corner for food and sustenance. (The employees within are tulpas who believe it's the original.) He can command the rats and pigeons of the city. Or the Falcons. He can make the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters do his bidding... He can have an understanding of west coast rap culture. The sky is the limit...speaking of which if he is so inclined he can manifest 9/11s if he feels like it. The gods of the city have their own agendas though. Sometimes their goals are clear cut. Otherwise they are more esoteric or open ended. And if he displeases or fails them then the city can be very creative in how it punishes him. He won't die. And he can't quit the job. But how he will he handle the responsibility?
