PLEASE READ THE QUEST RULES BELOW
You collectively vote on the actions of Arisukawa Haruna, the first woman to serve openly in the Imperial Akitsukuni Navy.
This quest is set in a universe which is much like our own circa 1910, but with different politics, cultural norms, and ideas about gender and sexuality, as well as some unusual and advanced technology in places.
We are using this quest to explore themes like breaking the glass ceiling, divergent outlooks on gender and sexuality, colonialism and imperialism, and the place of royalty.
Content Warning
This quest goes some dark places.
There is violence, often explicit, often unfair, often against undeserving targets.
There are not always good options forward. The protagonist is not necessarily a good person.
There is implied content and discussion of sexual harassment and assault.
This is a world where people are often racist, sexist, queerphobic bigots. Sometimes, even the PC and the people they are friends with.
Voting Rules
We will tell you if write-in votes are allowed. If we do not say that write-ins are allowed, they are not. This is to prevent people from unrealistically hedging their bets.
You may proposal other options in a non-vote format, subject to approval, on non write-in votes.
We will tell you when a vote allows approved voting. If we don't say the answer is no, pick an option. We like making people commit.
Discussions makes the GM feel fuzzy.
Game Rules
When we ask you for a roll, roll 3d6. You are aiming to roll equal or under the value of your stat. If you succeed, Haruna gets through the situation with no real difficulties. If you roll above the target value, Haruna will still succeed, but this success will cost her something or add a complication.
Whenever Haruna loses something or faces hardship from a botched roll, she takes Stress. The more Stress Haruna has, the more the job and the circumstances she's in will get to her, and it'll be reflected in the narrative. Haruna must be kept under 10 Stress: if she reaches 10 Stress, she will suffer a breakdown and the results will not be great for her.
Haruna loses stress by taking time for herself, by making meaningful progress on her dreams, and by kissing tall, beautiful women.
Meta Rules
Author commentary is in italics so you know it's not story stuff.
Please don't complain about the system or the fact we have to roll dice. We've heard it before, we've heard it a thousand times across multiple quests. We're not going to change it, and it wears at our fucking souls.
Just going "oh noooo" or "Fish RNGesus Why!" is fun and fine. Complaining at length because you didn't get what you want less so.
If you have a question, tag both @open_sketchbook and @Artificial Girl. If you only tag one of us, you will be ignored. Seriously, we both write this quest.
And yes this is an alt-history type setting with openly gay and trans people, ahistoric medicine, and weird politics. Just... deal, please?
