comment
Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine is a tabletop game by Jenna Moran geared mainly towards playing pastoral slice-of-life fantasy, ala Studio Ghibli movies, Adventure Time, or My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, although gameplay is flexible enough to cover a wide variety of genres and story styles, even to works as complex as Homestuck or as symbolism-ridden as Revolutionary Girl Utena. While it has its origins in another of Jenna's games, Nobilis, and some of its tone comes from her Hitherby Dragons project, for the most part, Chuubo's is its own thing.The setting is a town called Town, which is surrounded by a multicolored void, situated somewhere that's no true place. It's a nice place to live by all accounts: quiet, peaceful, and sleepy, a place where you can just get on with life. However, there are still strange and interesting things to get involved with if you look around.Chuubo's is intended as a transmedia project, initially focusing on novels and RPGs.

Applied Phlebotinum: Applied very liberally by the Renegade miraculous arc, which takes advantage of the liminal space between IC and OOC knowledge to handwave away problems, rephrasing them as magic, superscience, or just plain preparedness.

Little Bit Beastly: The Tenko, or shop foxes, have fox-spirit ancestry, giving them both fox and human ears (and sometimes fox tails). They're lithe and agile, and have a touch of elegance and magic. Cutting off their fox ears removes their magic and turns them all the way human. They stand out in Town, getting a lot of (positive) attention, which can be a bit of a pain sometimes.

The Rival
 Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine (Tabletop Game) / int_1c3d047e
comment
Chuubo and Leonardo are a mutual case, unsurprisingly given that Leonardo's title can be The Rival. They both constructed machines of wondrous power (although Leonardo would be quick to point out that his is the Incomparable Nightmare Engine and attempting to compare it to anything else is therefore impossible), but Chuubo's uses the wishing power of the heart while Leonardo's relies on the secrets of the Bleak Academy, which is explicitly antithetical to the heart's power. Chuubo values friendship so much that he wished for a best friend, while Leonardo has renounced it. Chuubo aspires to ordinariness while Leonardo needs to be special and important so badly that he was willing to run off to the Bleak Academy. It's even suggested that Leonardo may be secretly envious of Chuubo.

Power at a Price: Wounds can grant temporary Skills, Bonds, Afflictions and even minor miraculous abilities so long as there's some kind of drawback to them. Taken one step further with the miraculous Arc Wounded Angel, which allows you to ritually bind your wounds and obtain several miraculous abilities from them, as exemplified by Leonardo de Montreal.

Muggles Do It Better
 Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine (Tabletop Game) / int_21eb1793
comment
Muggles Do It Better: While miracles always happen to the letter of their effect, the game emphasizes how they're not at all guaranteed to be productive or make your life better - things that mundane skills are better for. Additionally, while some miraculous arcs such as Become Somebody and Allegory are capable of standing up to miracles quite well (be it by raising an Auctoritas or allowing mundane actions to interfere with the miraculous), the best way to shut them down is to overcome them with higher Intention levels.

Ordinary High-School Student: The default assumption for PCs is that they're around 15 years old and possessed of one or more miraculous abilities. One of the pregen PCs (the titular Chuubo, AKA The Wishing Boy) is explicitly described as being a totally normal kid, who has a magical engine that grants wishes and who occasionally turns into a giant snake, not that it helps.

Arcadia
 Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine (Tabletop Game) / int_24cdd048
comment
Arcadia: The Region of Fortitude, by the docks of Big Lake, completely represents this trope, as it is an idyllic pastoral countryside where things pass by quietly and peacefully. This goes to the extent that its Region Properties include "Things can’t move quickly," "Work must be fruitful," "People must remember where they come from" and "You have a home in Fortitude". Due to this and more, Fortitude is the preferred location of Pastoral-genre games. Ironically, the Shopping District, whose other name is Arcadia, is not this trope.

Cursed with Awesome
 Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine (Tabletop Game) / int_309b8806
comment
Cursed with Awesome: Several miraculous Arcs (particularly the Emptiness ones, which all feature a Curse) are based around this: Wounded Angel is very versatile, powerful, and offers many abilities, but in exchange forces you to live with a blasphemy inside you and derive your power from wounds. Accursed allows you to destroy just about anything, but makes you lose MP when you are caused wounds (which is worse because it also makes your MP a secondary health bar). Alchemist allows you to extract parts of people's minds, souls or hearts, but its Curse makes you fake or unnatural in some manner. It helps that it's more a social or psychological problem rather than something limiting in any practical sense. Visionary makes one see the world as fake or not real to some extent. Fortunately, it also grants one a magical skill and the ability to gift people miscellaneous abilities and magical objects, among other things. Later on, it was overhauled as Awakening, which recasts you as being an avatar of something not of this world. Indomitable's the one that plays this trope completely straight - its Curse is for being a cool vampire or monster with some overwhelming power and no inherent drawbacks.

After the End: Downplayed. It's all but stated that this is the world of Nobilis after the Excrucians won and unmade most of creation, with Town being the only surviving part of reality. This doesn't come up very much, and it's entirely possible for an entire campaign to go without ever noting the ocean of unreality that drowned the multiverse.

Reality Warping: Most characters with access to miraculous abilities can do this, honestly, but the ones who do it most blatantly are the ones with access to the miraculous Arc Reality Syndrome - which allows them some variant power of a Wish, such as the titular Wish-Granting Engine.

Absurdly Powerful Student Council: School's student council is managed by the Six Sins - shards of the former principal, Lord Entropy I. All of them share the Principal's goal of creating a new world (with differences as to the method), and are given great power over managing School. It probably helps that all of them have very powerful abilities.

Elemental Powers: Characters on the Spiritual miraculous Arc slowly obtain knowledge, creation, destruction and control over a particular element, although it's usually something local or specific as compared to the Nobilis counterpart of this ability, which was cosmic in scope. Primordial and Child of the Ash also have a degree of power over an element, but much less than Spiritual; they make up for it by letting you sprout extra limbs that give you skills and minor powers and giving you the ability to turn into a monster, respectively.

The Outside World: The Outside, naturally, serving as a contrast to Town's Small, Secluded World. The Outside in itself is an amalgam of many interpretations of the trope, serving as either a physical outside or a psychological state of mind of confusion and disorientation. Like just about anything else in the game, its exact nature is deliberately ambiguous and subject to interpretation.

The Hero's Journey: Considering the Quest system and the way Arcs work, the general cycle of the Hero's Journey is a generic Quest Set that can work for several kinds of Arcs. The Road of Trials is referenced as one of the game's Genres, involving some of the most difficult times of a character's life, and usually involving many dangers, enemies and Breaks From Reality.

The Halloween Special content, the first published mini-campaign, manages the remarkable feat of moving several characters from Horizon's School to another school, as well as reworking said characters' backstories to be more Halloween-related.

Our Ghosts Are Different
 Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine (Tabletop Game) / int_66479d0
comment
Our Ghosts Are Different: Ghosts at School aren't always visible, since they attend their own classes and have a tendency to fade from view. Most often, however, they appear as faceless people in the faceless crowds at School. They have black lines on their featureless heads allowing people to see their moods. If you spend sufficient time on personal interaction with one, you may start seeing their actual face and features, though the living students usually consider getting that close to a ghost to mark you as a social outcast. That said, not everyone is capable of seeing the ghosts, instead seeing School as a vast and empty place. The ghost world is usually separate from the living world, but sometimes the two can bleed through into one another.

Decade Dissonance: Town has this in spades, partly due to the Fantasy Kitchen Sink, and partly because the death of the sun messed up the game's timeline. Fortitude is rustic and a bit behind the times; Horizon is based on Victorian London; Old Molder is a ruin of an attempt at an industrial revolution retaken by nature, and is populated by deviant scientists and similar people who live independently; Arcadia is very similar to contemporary Japanese shopping districts, with many modern attractions, goods and such. Other examples litter the setting.

Jigsaw Puzzle Plot: The Glass-Maker's Dragon campaign has this in spades. Many events from both the campaign's and the setting's backstory play a prominent role in the story and their effects on the main characters, and they raise a lot of questions. Why did the glass dragon break, and is it going to come back to life? Why do so many things happen around Chuubo? Why did the Headmaster of the Bleak Academy pour a blasphemy into Leonardo de Montreal, and is it related at all to the recent Outside storms? Why are the dead spontaneously coming back to life?

You Can't Fight Fate: Imperial Miracles state a destiny to be, and which eventually will come true, or is coming true, or has retroactively come true. Imperial Miracles are usually restrained in some way, or limited intentionally, because they have enough power to change the entire world. A Wish is what happens if you don't restrict an Imperial Miracle at all.

Void Between the Worlds: The Outside used to be this, but when the Sun was killed/stolen and brought there, the Void started boiling. On the up side, it's a livelier place now. On the downside, the affected Void expanded, boiling over and covering most of the universe in layers of weird sort-of-quantum-mechanical effects. Town is now the only place left that can be said to genuinely, unambiguously exist.

The standout here would be Jasmine "The Ideologue" Apocynum. Another character trait allows characters to earn XP by being so over-the-top that it leaves the other players speechless. Leonardo de Montreal, Nightmares' Angel, has to take the cake here, going into an A God Am I rant when explaining why he hadn't bought any more milk after finishing it off.

Pals with Jesus: Much less blatant than in Nobilis, despite the same potential for regularly meeting and being friends with gods and miraculous beings of all sorts. Though some canonical characters know or are gods of some sort, it usually doesn't get acknowledged. For instance, the Child of the Sun is the new resident sun god of Town, but she's not even aware of it at the outset.

Billy Sovereign, the bully, is this to Seizhi. He is to Leonardo as Seizhi is to Chuubo, only with an antagonistic relationship instead of being close friends. He is everything Seizhi is not: Brutal, a jerk, angry, resentful and he doesn't technically exist or is aware of what it's like to do so. Even his abilities are a mirror to Seizhi's: where Seizhi has Existing as a skill, Billy has Survive (it's what allowed him to survive being burned alive by Leonardo), and both have the same miraculous Arc as well.

The Fair Folk: The miraculous Arc Creature of Fable makes a character more like a creature from a fairy tale or mythology, with the ability to do stuff in-between scenes, have an iconic appearance and mess with supernatural and miraculous powers. The overall thematic fits that of the Fair Folk.

Deconstruction: Not the setting itself, but "Fable of the Swan" has some elements of deconstructing The Twilight Saga: Jasmine has a romance with a darkly supernatural being... and he turns out to be creepy as hell and manipulative, and it ends badly for all concerned.

Complete Immortality: Some miraculous Arcs (Child of the Ash, Keeper of Gardens, Creature of Light and Primordial) grant this. A character with this Immortality cannot be hurt at all or even age unless they desire it. Only extremely damaging things like nuclear explosions, high-level miracles and Imperial Miracles can bypass it, and even then they can regenerate from this damage more quickly than anyone else.

Busman's Holiday: One of the powers in the "Renegade" Miraculous Arc can do this. It manifests as a sense for something forbidden, which can mean a near-psychic sense for who hasn't washed their hands...or just a tendency to stumble over whatever weird and forbidden crap you work with, even if you're trying to do something else.

Gothic Horror: Much of the atmosphere of Horizon is based on this, what with vampires, ghosts and undead horrors being very common, as well as gothic ruins, cemeteries and the like. Due to this the region is the preferred location of Gothic-genre games. And then there's the Halloween World in the Halloween Special.

Eldritch Location: Every Region of Town has Properties, a set of metaphysical truths about that Region, which can enhance actions taken in accordance with them. The main Regions are Fortitude, Horizon, Arcadia, Big Lake, Little Island, Bluebell Park, Old Molder, the Walking Fields, and the Outside, though there are sub-Regions, minor Regions, and lost Regions as well. The Called Away and Child of the Ash Arcs also involve connecting to another one - a world that's mostly only tied to you - but Child of the Ash involves embodying it yourself, while Called Away lets you actually summon it.

Archer Archetype: Creatures of Fable also get a free Superior Hunter skill as a Perk as they progress on the arc. Even at low levels this means being a ridiculously good tracker, rider and archer. At high levels, it means that your feats of archery may range from the cartoonish to the godly. Case in point, this is likely how the Headmaster of the Bleak Academy killed Jade Irinka - it is usually described that he shot down the sun itself, not Jade's humanoid form.

Anatomy of the Soul: Characters on the Alchemist miraculous arc have the power to extract a specific part of someone, like their wishing heart, memories, or other things in the form of a Heart Drive. In the spirit of the trope, holding that extracted part of the self allows the character to control and possess people, including those that naturally lose track of it.

comment
Be Careful What You Wish For: This trope is in full effect, as any wish made by Chuubo has a higher chance of going horribly wrong (as opposed to going entertainingly wrong) when it doesn't fit his nature, as represented by a chart. For instance, Chuubo's wish to have a best friend (because he was lonely) created Seizhi Schwan with absolutely no disastrous side-effects. His wish to have an icecream... didn't. The same applies to other methods of obtaining wishes.

Retcon: The "Revelation" power from Creature of Fable works like this.

However, if the reveal is too implausible, complicated or just not good, it ceases to occur, as an Unreal effect.

Dying for Symbolism: The sun, Jade Irinka, who was also the angel of the houses of the sun and in fact the concept of suns in general, died in the backstory. With her death all hope and joy in the world could have died and the world would have plunged into chaos. But sometime after she died a new sun appeared, and with it things were basically alright and hope returned to the world. It's all very symbolic.

Shadow Archetype
 Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine (Tabletop Game) / int_b5e63cc4
comment
Shadow Archetype: Chuubo and Leonardo are a mutual case, unsurprisingly given that Leonardo's title can be The Rival. They both constructed machines of wondrous power (although Leonardo would be quick to point out that his is the Incomparable Nightmare Engine and attempting to compare it to anything else is therefore impossible), but Chuubo's uses the wishing power of the heart while Leonardo's relies on the secrets of the Bleak Academy, which is explicitly antithetical to the heart's power. Chuubo values friendship so much that he wished for a best friend, while Leonardo has renounced it. Chuubo aspires to ordinariness while Leonardo needs to be special and important so badly that he was willing to run off to the Bleak Academy. It's even suggested that Leonardo may be secretly envious of Chuubo. Billy Sovereign, the bully, is this to Seizhi. He is to Leonardo as Seizhi is to Chuubo, only with an antagonistic relationship instead of being close friends. He is everything Seizhi is not: Brutal, a jerk, angry, resentful and he doesn't technically exist or is aware of what it's like to do so. Even his abilities are a mirror to Seizhi's: where Seizhi has Existing as a skill, Billy has Survive (it's what allowed him to survive being burned alive by Leonardo), and both have the same miraculous Arc as well. Seizhi's Arcs in the Glass-Maker's Dragon campaign require a Shadow Archetype in each of the four main arcs, under the title of "the Walker in Darkness". Billy Sovereign is one candidate, although he's generally reserved for the Cruel Prince role instead.

Immortality: Several varieties of it show up, although depending on their strength they're more like Healing Factors. Theoretically any kind of immortality could be expressed via a combination of Skills and Afflictions, however.

Semantic Superpower
 Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine (Tabletop Game) / int_c85adb75
comment
Semantic Superpower: The Knave of Hearts arc allows you to impose a Mythos unto the world and make it obey certain rules. This includes being able to apply those rules to yourself or to other people or things. This can allow for odd power applications, although to a less blatant extent than the Nobilis equivalent of the arc. The HG and players can do this with miracles in general: for example, if someone's Affliction of "I can't die" is up against a stronger miracle that threatens to kill them, the former could resort to take a wound temporarily making the character an undead of some sort, fulfilling both miracles.

 Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine (Tabletop Game) / int_cb70651c
comment
Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Many game abilities can be interpreted as such. For instance, the low-level Arc abilities of The Ace, Become Somebody and Creature of Fable can be interpreted as those of ordinary people being really good at what they do, instead of being outright 'magical' abilities used by demigods. Defied with Become Somebody's Commanding Aura and Reject abilities. Both allow characters to turn other people or things into something more or less like them by communicating with them, but it's explicitly a psychic attack instead of something that could be hand-waved away like 'charisma'.

 Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine (Tabletop Game) / int_ce75a983
comment
Screw Destiny: Afflictions can be overcome by invoking sufficient Strike with miracles, something most miraculous characters are able to do. Going against an Imperial Miracle or Wish, on the other hand, is explicitly one of the hardest things in the game to do. Doing so directly will deal any offending character two Deadly Wounds, or just one if they're only working around part of the destiny; that in itself is enough to cripple most miraculous creatures, even those with Immortality.

Implausible Deniability: Players can twist or bend wounds, both physical and mental. "She turned me into a duck... I got better" is a totally valid statement. The official story is that the first Lord Entropy decided to suddenly leave School's operation, jump into an incinerator, and fly up the chimney, despite the current Lord Entropy II/Lady Attaris II's hands constantly dripping their precursor's blood. Oddly, this is actually how Entropy II/Attaris II remembers it (well, kind of; it's somewhat foggy). Memory alteration may have been involved.

Make a Wish: As one would expect from the title, Wishes play a big part in the setting, and they are powered by the wishing power of the heart (Miracle Points, or MPs), although their source is not just limited to the Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine. No matter how world-changing or impossible, a wish can make it happen. A big part of wishes is dealing with their aftermath, and the rules go deep into detail on how to handle them.

Nothing Exciting Ever Happens Here: Horizon School has the property "People must accept that what is happening around them is normal", even if that includes a possibly cannibalistic philosopher-ogre teaching class (and a cat — not a talking cat — teaching the class before that), the vampires and ghosts walking the halls, the Principal's constantly blood-covered hands, or that no more and no less than three events will occur to every student between each class. Chuubo himself (or, in Shokyou's case, herself) is also supernaturally Ordinary in a setting that explicitly refuses to accept such a thing, and hence absolutely does not turn into a snake. Not that it would help, anyway.

They cover anything from dissociations from reality, people growing extra limbs or having their faces melt off, sudden musical numbers, Transformation Sequences and summonings of Humongous Mecha. That is to say, they're elements of Spectacle and the like that really happen, not just for the purposes of the entertainment of the audience. In-Character, this is weird even for the context of the game.

Enemies with Death: The setting frequently speaks of the Headmaster of the Bleak Academy, who is basically Town's boogeyman and some sort of avatar of death, or Death, or Death Unending, or perhaps 'the lord of death's dominion'. He is the closest thing the setting as a whole has to a real antagonist, both as a force that could physically end Town and as its philosophical opposite. And yet there's still a canonical story about a normal human's chance encounters with him at the laundromat.
