Proposal: The House of Katastrophe

Reached quorum 8 votes to 0. Enacted by Kevan.

Adminned at 09 Dec 2022 16:26:54 UTC

To “Possession”, add:-

If an action available to the Narrator is defined as being Supernatural, then an Explorer Possessed by Katastrophe may privately urge the Narrator to perform that action, optionally including instructions to perform it in a particular way. The Narrator should attempt to meet this request, while that Explorer remains Possessed by Katastrophe. While an Explorer is Possessed by Katastrophe, the Narrator may not take Supernatural Actions that this Explorer has not urged them to take.

In “Rooms”, after “At any time, the Narrator may add to the list of Rooms or add connections between Rooms in any way they see fit.”, add:-

Once per turn, the Narrator may add a single Room to the list of Rooms and/or add up to three connections between Rooms in any way they see fit. This is a Supernatural Action.

If “Let There Be Light” enacted, replace “Items may be added to a Room at any time by the Narrator.” with:-

Once per turn, up to three Items may be added to any Rooms by the Narrator, as a Supernatural Action.

If “The Cat that Walked by Himself” enacted, add to the end of the bullet point it created:-

This is a Supernatural Action.

All these dungeonmastery Narrator actions might make for some tricky calls under their declared Imperial style of Protective (“when taking any actions - including voting - will try to be fair to all players, including potential future players”). Perhaps Katastrophe should take the reins, with some speed limit on the at-any-time actions.

I like making rooms supernatural but worry that it will aggressively slow down the early game - we might need to seed the house a bit before bringing the shutters down on that.

(Not enough by itself to put me against, note; we can always make a bunch of rooms by proposal if needs be.)
