Monster Rancher (Sometimes Illustrated SG)
« on: March 19, 2019, 09:47:10 pm »





Our down on their luck protagonist finds themselves in a slippery situation. After a long sting of unfortunate circumstances, you were left destitute. Your house, your belongings, and your future, all were collateral. And after your debt was collected, you were left with next to nothing, only a few thousand coin to your name. Enough to last you a few weeks at best. It was at that point that you received a very odd letter from an estranged great uncle. Your uncle was once a great adventurer, having gained fame and fortune in his prime, but retired nearly thirty years ago after an unfortunate accident. Having heard of your hard times from your mother, he offered to let you live on an old monster ranch out in the hinterlands so long as you help him out with his monster research. Having no other options, you packed your bags and set out for your new life as a monster rancher.


Along with the envelope there was a package. What was inside?

A: 1000 coin to help you get your ranch up and running.

B: 10 ToeFu to feed your monsters.

C: 10 monster bait to help you catch your first few monsters.


And underneath that gift was a strange looking book and a key of some sort. It looked...

A: Green and vibrant.

B: Grey and stoney.

C: Blue and cool.

A, A - The money can be used to get the other things we might need, and actually build some things (I might be taking a Slime Rancher perspective into this...), and a green, vibrant book is just good - after all, we love life and all that jazz.

I'll support this. +1.

Robo, how much do tofu and bait actually cost per unit?

Glass is, as usual, correct.
Yep, as ever, I bestow upon Glass the expected +1
I'm gonna say we go with whatever Glass's idea is.

It's unclear, you've never had to buy such items.

Are we not able to look this information up? Or ask someone about it?

I wasn't really planning on it. It's more of a stylistic decision. They're all about balanced, though the bait and monster food would cost you more than 1000 coin for those amounts.

After receiving your 1000 coin, book, and strange key, you shrugged your shoulders and started your journey. It took you a good while, but eventually, you made it out to your uncle's ranch in the frontier. Most people you talked to had never heard of the place, but a kindly old sage told you the way. That was a while back, but now here you are. Upon entering the ranch you noticed there were a few unworked plots. You can probably build things here once you get the schematics for buildings. You noticed one of the plots has fences with little red gems on them. And there's a monster in there! A little slime it seems. You've never actually seen a monster in person before, and as far as first monsters go, this one is far from terrifying. But now, what should you do?

A: Go check out the house.
B: Pet the slime.
C: (Other)

Pet the slime, then investigate the house.
