ryannorth:romeoandorjuliet:Romeo and/or Juliet, my choose-your-own-path version of Romeo and Jul
ryannorth: romeoandorjuliet: Romeo and/or Juliet, my choose-your-own-path version of Romeo and Juliet with over a hundred endings illustrated by the best artists working today (SERIOUSLY THEY’RE THE BEST), comes out June 7th! It’s got multiple playable characters, secret endings, secret books-within-a-book, a comic book section, AND MORE - and we’re counting down the month until release starting at the first page, seeing what happens, and letting YOU decide what happens next! Yesterday the choice by a slim margin (less than 20 votes out of almost 1000 cast!) was OPTION 2: Proceed without spoilers. So let’s proceed without spoilers, shall we? BEGIN PLAY: You have just been born! Congratulations, good work on that thing! Now SURPRISE, babies are boring, so we’re going to jump ahead in time to a point where you’re a COOL TEEN and you’ve already lived a reasonable chunk of your life. I can promise you that most of what we’re going to see now will be FLABBERGASTINGLY INTERESTING. Teens do all sorts of interesting things! They make friends, they shed tears, they totally make out, AND OTHER THINGS TOO, PROBABLY. I think we all can agree that high school rules and is definitely the most important part of your life. So let’s join this awesome stuff already in progress! Where you are is Verona, in Italy. When you are is Sunday, July 21, 1585, 8:18 a.m. Who you are . . . well, that’s entirely up to you. Are you: ROMEO? He’s a 15-year-old teen who loves love, loves being in love, and loves being in love with love! Big into love, this guy. He’s deeply, sincerely in love with Rosaline, who is smart and pretty and SO PERFECT OMG. It’s weird we haven’t mentioned her in the title though? Anyway, Romeo’s interests include thinking about women and also not being called up to the front of the class while thinking about women. Last year he moved out of his parents’ house and into a tinier house that his parents also own. Romeo’s got a +1 perk to composition and elocution (that’s, like, talking), but a −1 weakness against moderation and foresight. If you think you’ll need to recite poetry in this adventure, he’s a good choice. He’s allied with TEAM MONTAGUE. JULIET? She’s a 16-year-old teen who is a dainty flower, as fragile as a spider’s web in the morning dew. Naw, I’m just having a little fun, like when you call a short guy “Tallo” or “Doctor Heightsworth.” Juliet’s actually SUPER RIPPED, and her top six interests are: muscles, boys, getting muscles, getting boys, kissing boys, and kissing her own muscles. Look, you can play as a boy who wants to meet a girl or as a girl who wants to meet a boy! Each has what the other wants, and you can control either of them. Hey, this book is gonna be EASY. The downside to Juliet is, her parents micromanage her life and tell her what to do all the time, which leaves very little time for chatting up boys. She never gets to decide anything for herself, she barely leaves the house, and her nurse is her only real friend. It’s a little sad when you think about it. She tries not to. Juliet has a +2 perk to muscles (OBVIOUSLY) but a −2 weakness against the mad hotties. She’s an excellent choice if you want to solve your problems with muscles, and why wouldn’t you? She’s on TEAM CAPULET. OPTION ROMEO: Play as Romeo OPTION JULIET: Play as Juliet ****** Reblog for Juliet, and fav for Romeo, and we’ll go with the winning option tomorrow! You should know that SHAKESPEARE chose Option Romeo when he was writing his book (the choices Shakespeare made are marked in the book, so you can read the story (reasonably) straight, if you want!). Character art on this page is by Kate Beaton, and cover art is as always by Noelle Stevenson. HELLO -- source link
