is that it's inviting people to create minis for miniless continua. That's one of our few hard and fast rules.

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).

"I am a plant"
"I exist"
"I knew that"
"Catnip"
"Canon senses tingling!"
"... alterations to canon are painfully (VERY painfully) obvious to you."
"To help flesh out your 'supporting characters' companions are allowed to take drawbacks other than 'The League of MARYSUE Factories.'" (I love the word Allowed here. "You are allowed to take this cube." "No thanks." shoving cube into face "YOU ARE ALLOWED TO TAKE THIS CUBE.")
"You really, really, really won't like that."
"And while coming up with ironic methods of execution and disposal of SUEs is part of the PPC heritage, you tend to take things...a little extra when SUEs or enemies of the PPC are involved. Way, way extra. Like holy [uryy] calm the [shpx] down. Seriously, they're in twenty pieces and mostly charcoal, just let them die already. [Qnza] son." (It's funny that I also read this in a deadpan voice lol)
I would totally play this.

I've never heard of this before, and my initial reaction was to take umbrage at an un-Permitted PPC thing... but, well, I looked at the doc, and whoever wrote it 100% gets it. So... cool? If it were an RPG, I'd play it.

That’s all the response I can muster, sadly.
