Some stories have a message...kinda...

Additional Notes:

WARNING! (The real one)

This story is pretty offensive, it can get graphic and downright ruthless at times so if you don’t like that sort of humor, don’t read this story. But if you read it anyway don’t complain if you get offended, I did warn you and keep in mind it IS only a story.

(Or read it anyway, get offended and leave a hilariously triggered comment, that's fine too.)

Also, don't bother trying to "win" either. You can't. Just heed the moral lessons you may learn.

One musician's tale in a dying world

Additional Notes:

If you’ve read and liked Necromancer, then this might interest you as this story takes place during the same course of events of that story. (Not a prequel, not a sequel, but an equal!)

However, this story is definitely more “story” than “game”. In fact you shouldn’t even bother reading it if you’re intent on “winning”. You can’t. That being said, there is a “true ending” to this story and you’ll probably know if you get it. If you do get it, you can consider it a “win” if you like.

There are a few points in the story where there are links that lead to “Letters to Home”. While not necessary to understand the story, they do provide a little more insight into the protagonist’s thoughts and feelings on various situations.

The last hope for a dying empire

Additional notes:

This story can be very long assuming you're not dying. Years pass and your surroundings will most likely change. You may very well live a life time in the story.

As with any of my writings, the story comes before the game. However while there isn't a complex inventory and all of that, you can technically "win" by getting one of the epilogues.

There are 13 epilogues total.

There are also several points in the story where there are links that lead to more background information on various people, places, things and events. While not completely necessary to understanding the story, they do give you more insight into it.

Carnivals aren't all fun and games.

Additional Notes:

While there is only one spot that contains extra histories for this story, it's basically the background information of all the major characters and factions. It's strongly recommended that these are read due to the fact that your character will be interacting with most of these folks in his attempts to successfully accomplish his task(s).

This story has a very factional feel to it, so choose your allegiances carefully to get one of the better endings.

If you see a bright light, duck and cover!

Additional notes:

I should point out that this story can be very long assuming you're not dying. Years pass and your surroundings will most likely change. You may very well live a life time in the story if you're lucky. You will also experience a completely different adventure depending on how you escaped the initial nuclear strike. (Assuming you do survive it.)

As with any of my writings, the "story" comes before the "game". However, this story was written in a "game like" format. So while there isn't a complex inventory and all of that, you can technically "win" by getting one of the 4 special endings. (You'll know if you get one because you'll get an epilogue)

This one's for the kids, no really!

Additional Notes:

This story has clear cut win/lose endings. There is nothing excessively unusual about this story, it's just a simple "children's story".

(Yes, you can still die in it)

Running the family business isn't easy!

Additional Notes:

In a few places there are links for history or certain characters. While not necessary to understand the story, they do provide further background information.

There are several endings varying in degrees of good/bad or neutral outcomes. Technically there is one very happy ending, but it isn't labeled as such.

Underneath the sickness there's love...

Additional Notes:

WARNING!

This story contains a lot of graphic content, if you are offended by ultra violence, explicit sexual descriptions, tons of swearing, blasphemy, inappropriate dark humor, and brutal misanthropy in general then DO NOT read this story!

Of course now that I’ve mentioned all the things it contains, you’ll probably read it anyway, you sick little monkey.

Well don’t complain if you get offended, I did warn you and keep in mind it IS only a story.

(Or read it anyway knowing it'll offend you and leave an amusingly triggered comment. That's fine too.)

This also isn't really a "win/lose" type story. While there are some endings better than others, this is basically just a tale about a very twisted man and his very twisted lifestyle.

Additional Notes:

This story is definitely more "story" than "game", however there are two distinct paths that can be followed, each with their own pitfalls and additional choices. There is also "one true" ending in which can be considered a "win" (You'll know if you got it, because you'll get an epilogue)

This story can get long, and assuming you're surviving, years do pass in it and you and your environment will change. There are a few points in the story where there are links that lead to more background information on various people and things. While not completely necessary to understand the story, they do give you more insight into it. The text that accompanies some of the pics are also done for similar purposes (Your journal entries, personal thoughts, letters written to you, etc)

Humanity never changes...

Additional Notes:

There are links leading to various background information and your character's current thoughts throughout the story. In some cases these may provide greater insight since some mysterious things can occur in this story.

There are also several endings varying in degrees of good/bad/neutral outcomes. Technically there is one ultimate "winning" ending, but it isn't labeled as such.

Emotions can be wonderful or dangerous...

Additional Notes:

This story has a few bits that are probably a bit on the disturbing side. Not many, but they are there in places. So if you don't like that sort of thing, you probably shouldn't read it.

This story in general is probably a bit odd and less verbose than most of my other stories. There are also several endings varying in degrees of good/bad/neutral outcomes. While there are some endings better than others, this is basically just the tale of a teenager who definitely has some issues.

From humble beginning to infamy and beyond!

Additional notes:

This story is a fully self contained one and can easily be read on its own, however it also acts as a "sequel" to Innkeeper.

As with any of my writings, the story comes before the game. However while there isn't a complex inventory and all of that, you can technically "win" by getting one of the 12 epilogues.

Things would be so much easier if your name was Mary Sue

Additional notes:

This story is a fully self contained one and can easily be read on its own, however it also acts as:

A direct sequel to the "Good Girl" short story in Tales From The Basement.

A semi sequel to the other TFTB short stories, Repression, TRASH, Love SICK and Geek.

A semi prequel to Ground Zero.

As with any of my writings, the story comes before the game. However while there isn't a complex inventory and all of that, you can still "win" by getting one of the epilogues.

There are 16 epilogues total.

Because Basement Dwellers are people too!

Additional Notes:

This story is three stories in one. Your first choice will lead to a separate tale of a different “basement dweller”. Each one is mostly different in tone.

Ebay Escapist is weird and random. It’s the least verbose of the three. (Or my stories in general)

Good Girl is the longest and most descriptive of the three. There is some weirdness going on here too, but is mostly kept much more in "reality". There is a cast of characters link in the beginning to help you keep up with who’s who.

Anime Addict has a lot of offensive language and humor, so if you don't like that sort of thing you shouldn’t read this one.

In all the tales there are several endings varying in degrees of good/bad/neutral outcomes. While there are some endings better than others, these are basically just tales of basement dwellers.

It's an edgelord boogaloo!

Additional Notes:

This story is three stories in one where it follows a different protagonist based on the first choice.

This story is also probably really offensive or something. Probably shouldn't read it if that's not your thing, but feel free to do so anyway and complain loudly in the comments since those are always good for a laugh.

Anyway, there's your extra warning. You can't say you weren't told.

Incel Insanity and Whining Wokie are all new tales, while Film Fanatic is a "reboot" of sorts of an older story called Exploitation Theater. Yes, it's finally here and been greatly expanded on.

As always the story is always more important than the game focus, but also as always, you definitely can get better endings than others.

Three ladies. Three legends.

Additional notes:

This story is a fully self contained one and can easily be read on its own, however it also acts as a connection to Rogues, Eternal and Necromancer.

As with any of my writings, the story comes before the game. However there is an epilogue for each "winning" ending.

Yee Haw! It's a trailer park life for me!

Additional Notes:

This story has a ton of offensive langauge and humor so if you don't like that sort of thing, you probably shouldn't read it. Though given the setting, the language used is pretty accurate.

This also isn't really a "win/lose" type story. While there are some endings better than others, this is basically just a tale about a typical day of a degenerate that lives in a trailer park.

Might as well pin this.

This is already better than the old search function this place once had.

Yep, this place did have a search function once, but it sucked a lot so it just got ripped out and everyone was told to use Google instead

I think this is the first time there's been a split for an intelligent topic from an original retard thread.

CYSpranos

Chris: What the fuck? What’s going on?
Malk: Have seat.
Anthrax: Chris, hey I’m Anthrax. I know you don’t know me, but…
Chris: Yeah, you’re the art movie faggot who jerked off in his car once.
Anthrax: What? Look, that’s not why I’m here today, Chris we’re here to talk about your mental problems.
Chris: What? Jesus Christ, you fucking kidding me?
Timdriana: Sorry man, please.
Chris: Nah, fuck this shit.
Petros: You’ve been told once. Now sit down.
Malk: Sit down.

Chris reluctantly sits down.

Chris: You too Suranna?
Anthrax: Chris, this won’t be easy for any of us. But I want you to know we’re here today, because we care about you.
Chris: What was this your idea Tim?
Anthrax: All we ask is that you listen. Tim you want to begin?

Tim opens up a carefully written up speech

Timdriana: Chris, I love you very much. My only dream is that we have a happy life together. The last few months have gotten really bad with us because of you not taking your meds all the time. You’re edgy all the time and I can’t take it.
Anthrax: Be specific.
Timdriana: When we first started in VC, we played games all the time, but because of the lack of meds…
Chris: Geez is this fucking necessary?
Anthrax: Go ahead Tim
Timdriana: …you can no longer function as a friend.
Petros: Lol, fag.
Timdriana: Last week when I came home to learn that you killed our dog that was the final straw…
Malk: Whoa, whoa, whoa, you killed a dog? What’d you do that for?
Chris: It was an accident.
Petros: What, was it barking?
Timdriana: He sat down on Corgi! (Breaks down into tears)
Malk: Jesus Christ.
Chris: I fell asleep, he got suffocated or something.
Anthrax: You done Tim?
Malk: You killed little Corgi, I oughta suffocate you, you little prick!
Anthrax: Malk, we’re going in order. Darkspawn?

Dark opens up a short speech.

Dark: When I came in one morning into the CYS server, there you were talking about fucking femboys in the ass. And you wanting your head half way up their asses. Disgusting.
Chris: I told you I was on the wrong meds! They gave me blood pressure pills by accident!
Dark: I said my piece Chris.
Chris: Great, I can’t even defend myself now?
Anthrax: No one’s attacking you.
Malk: Look it doesn’t change anything, but I can verify that he was given the wrong meds for awhile. Still this thing with the dog, how could you not see it on the chair?!
Anthrax: You’re getting emotional Malk.
Malk: That’s because I know what it’s like to lose a pet!
Cricket: I happen to know that you were unmedicated at Mizal’s birthday party. You were talking non-stop for 20 minutes, nothing but gibberish.
Malk: Mizal’s birthday. Jesus Christ.
Anthrax: Petros? You wanna read your statement?

Petros sits up

Petros: I don’t write nothing down, so I’ll keep this short and sweet. You’re weak. You’re outta control. And you’ve become an embarrassment to yourself and everybody else.
Chris: Oh listen you…
Anthrax: Whoa, whoa, whoa, we said nonjudgmental!
Petros: Fuck that, this is CYS!
Chris: Seriously Petros, you wanna talk about fucking up?
Petros: Watch it Chris.
Chris: What? I thought we were being honest here! You got some balls you know that? All of you. You wanna talk about self control. How about you Dark? Fucking your twin sister every chance you get, when you’re surrounded by tons of non-related women?
Anthrax: Guys, whoa, whoa
Timdriana: Chris!
Chris: Or you Petros, remember last prompt contest with the Serbian guy…
Malk: Chris! I’m fucking warning you!
Chris: There he is! Mr. Type A personality!
Malk: We are here to talk about you killing yourself due to no meds! Not my fucking personality!
Chris: I’m going to kill myself? The way you go on about your bowel movements, you’re going to die of dysentery by the time you’re 50!

Petros grabs Chris

Petros: HEY, you’re talking to the heir to the empire there!
Suranna: Good, maybe somebody will smack some damn sense into him!
Chris: Great, even Suranna. Fuck you, nobody gives a shit what you say anyway, you Ex-Mormon whore!

Petros punches out Chris. Dark soon rushes to join, followed by Enter and Wizzy.

Anthrax: Guys, guys, please! Come on!

Anthrax is ignored, more fighting ensues ending the scene with Chris tackling Wizzy who falls breaking a small table.

Prompt 38 is open again.

You being a learning animal apparently.

DO IT NOW

I'm not even sure what you're going on about.

Lol what?

I assume it's Jonathandracon. Unbanned that one.
