Storytown Interest Thread

So...Yarrun's making a Tabletop game, and he needs people to playtest it

Right then. So, once upon a time, a great and powerful wizard created a set of nested pocket universes collectively referred to as Storytown, where the pen's not just more powerful than the sword; it's what calls the sword into being. Every pocket universe is the staging grounds for a story or set of stories, from which the universe draws its power, and each universe has a secret society based around writing, editing, fixing and producing said stories. While ensuring that the stories remain well-written without any of the participants realizing that they're being manipulated is a difficult task, the potential reward is great: ascendancy to a more powerful pocket universe, and the patronage of one of The Ten Muses. 

As players, you'll be assigned to one of the various Fixer teams, squads organized when a story is going off the rails and the head writer can't resolve it on his own. You'll each have incredible powers to warp the world to your bidding, ranging from producing MacGuffins to instigating montages, but be warned! If it becomes obvious that you're manipulating events, the characters will fight against your influence and the whole story is liable to collapse!
