    And remember: If you ever catch yourself thinking about how to balance the gameplay? Just use vaguer language! This one simple trick has gotten me out of so many predicaments during my LitRPG/ LitFPS antics, it's unreal!

    Start with the setting and the worldbuilding. Be sure and put some social inequality and some disease in there, along with archaic ideas about how to address these issues. Then just as the reader is settling in for some nice dynastic intrigue... (character limit)

    Um. Their god is kind of you. You could just invoke divine intervention, at that point. I honestly don't think anybody would blame you.

    Never mind, it was funnier in my head. I regret my part in creating this timeline.

    Random Number Generator?

    I think it needs to be said that randomness, by itself, adds very little to a story, even an interactive one. What you want are game systems that allow a player to mitigate the randomness and play around it with intention. RNG is a necessary, but not sufficient component for building those...

    Just for fun. Things you could use for bondage besides ropes and tape.

    Might as well finish off an even 50. 82. A giant robot. The cockpit is pretty small, and it got jammed mid transformation-sequence, and now the lower half of the pilot's body is exposed to anything the enemy wants to do to them. 83. Demonic and/or ghostly possession 84. Fortnite-style...

    What are some of your writing philosophies?

    I'll answer your question, if you can explain what happens in the third act of any of the movies on this list.

    do you write all your chapters?

    The types of stories that are geared towards guest writers, they wear it on their sleeves. They'll have a super generic name like "Everybody has to have sex with you," the first branch will define the reader's avatar, the second branch will define a specific kink or plot twist, and from there on...

    Random Number Generator?

    Couldn't they just reload the page to re-seed the values, then? Surely the fact that your story has RNG would be the main draw. If a reader doesn't realize the story has RNG, it's indistinguishable from a regular story with perhaps slightly more arbitrary writing.

    I can relate. That happened with my Stanley Parable CHYOA I was trying to write. (It flowed so smoothly from basic priors, but it ended up a LOT darker than I wanted it to. Mostly because the characters are trapped between a Mind Control corporation and a petulant god, and then I threw workplace...

    Random Number Generator?

    I'm a little unclear: are you asking for a thing the author of a story can use to make a random number appear in the body of a Chapter? Or are you asking for some sort of tool a player can use to roll dice when a CHYOA asks them to? If it's the latter, there are plugins available for Chrome and...

    Dang, somebody's living their best life in 4K. :) Jan 3 to Jan 10 (1 week between updates) shows a similar drop from 40s to 20s, but it rebounds with the second Jan10 update. I'm wary of drawing conclusions from such a small sample size, but it's food for thought. I take it you can't find any...
