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.
Where in the Outer World should this game be set?
Wistful Dark: the land of permanent night where the undead and demons live
Twilight Meridian: the land of permanent twilight, full of forgotten technology
Blazing Garden: the land of permanent day, where enormous monsters roam
Buried Kingdom: an underground shattered kingdom in the midst of permanent war
