For those who haven't heard of that, it's basically a multiversal CYOA thing created by the /tg/ board of 4chan. To quote the subreddit:

Here's the set up: You are contacted by an omnipotent entity. a dangerously bored omnipotent entity. It sends you across the multiverse you go on adventures to keep it entertained. Every world you arrive in you must survive for 10 years by whatever means you see fit. From there you can go home, stay in your current world or move on to a new one.
You can keep your new abilities, gear, powers, friends, etc. from one adventure to the next. If you die, however, you are sent home immediately. You keep what you have so far, but your multiversal adventuring days are over.
The Goal? well the original goal was to reach a sufficient power level to survive in the most dangerous of universes (like dragon ball z, Warhammer 40k, etc). At that point the entity would grant you the 'Planeswalker spark' to let you freely travel the universe at your leisure... but to some, the journey itself is it's own reward.

Anyway, it turns out someone wrote up a setting sheet for the PPC. With apologies for the "screenshot of a wall of text" format, it appears that the original PDF has been eaten by Google Drive (Edit: Oh there's a reupload). I can't find it referenced anywhere on the Board, which I guess makes sense, as it doesn't quite fit the PPC's permission system.

Anyway this is... Interesting? I'm tagging this as a plug, but I'm not sure how to feel about this. Apparently, there have been a few chains involving the PPC already, though it's hard to search the saved writeups for them.


Further edit: It's not explicit in the document, but if you actually try and stat out a character in this, it appears that you typically start out with an initial pool of 1,000 Choice Points (the thing consumed by perks and given by drawbacks).
