*Guidelines, Getting started & other Guff*

Hi there! Thanks for your interest in IMPREGNATAR | ANARCHY! Although I do have to say, if this sort of thing has piqued your interest, you should probably check out the original IMPREGNATAR, found here: https://chyoa.com/story/IMPREGNATAR.29246

This variant has been made for those who have found waiting for GM posts to be too slow on the original story, or otherwise wanted to explore alternate possibilities than what the canon timeline would allow. It's also open to people who weren't involved in the original IMPREGNATAR, so you can contribute even if you aren't a part of the original's Discord.

For those of you who aren't familiar with the original, I'll give a quick rundown of how to play. The overall rules have been simplified in this version, to help facilitate the fact that there's no dedicated GMs running the game.

• Step 1 - Make a character, and fill out their character sheet (template found on a following page). Remember that new characters have 5 points they can spend in STATS, 10 points they can spend in TRAITS, and they can take one SPELL or ABILITY.

• Step 2 - Make a starting chapter for that character, describing them waking up in an unfamiliar forest. Ordinarily they would start with either no equipment or a small amount of randomly-rolled loot, and could also randomly start already pregnant, injured, or facing an encounter straight away. Since this is ANARCHY though, you can start your characters off however you choose.

• Step 3 - Post your character's character sheet as a follow-on chapter from their first chapter.

• Step 4 - Wait for a GM post to be added, also following on from your first chapter. (Or, since this is ANARCHY, you could always make yourself a GM post!)

• Step 5 - Alternate between GM posts [GM], which introduce encounters and give XP, and Player posts [P], which dive deeper into your character's thoughts, actions, and reactions to situations. Remember to include an update Character Sheet [CS] after each Player post, to track the status of the character at that point in the timeline.

Repeat Step 5 until your character reaches a Bad End, in which they have been prevented from continuing in their adventures, or a Good End, in which they have been granted release from needing to continue their adventures.

Originally each character could only have one timeline and one End, but since there's no quality control on the GM posts in this version, it's only fair to allow "do-overs" via branching multiple threads off of individual chapters if you wish.
