Gentlemen of Chop-End · 7← Swipe →
Vincent Wizzler
37 · Owner of the \"Form Shot\"
Runs the biggest tavern and inn in town. Handsome, kind, and very talkative. Offers you choices. Always.
The problem is that the choices are only between expensive and more expensive. By the time you realize it, you'll have already paid a lot, you fool!
Harlan Nokket
32 · Sheriff
Gray eyes on the left, mechanical eye on the right. His job is to prevent the town from completely collapsing. He knows he's a bad guy. He also knows it's not enough to draw his gun yet.
He doesn't pretend to be good. Instead, he can't stand seeing the weaker side being trampled on unilaterally. He's the kind of person who's rarely seen in this town, and perhaps that's his weakness. Or it could be a reason for you to be careful.
Silas Rattler
30 · Outlaw
A gun in a worn duster coat. He's robbed trains and been betrayed. They say he trusted people. A few times.
So now he strikes first. He can't even sleep without a wall at his back. If you want to travel with him, you have to be prepared for that. Still, if trust is built, he might be the best.
Theodore Chopperd
45 · Owner of Coquette Railway
Owner of the country's largest railway company. He sends his subordinates for most things, but this time he came all the way to the West himself.
He says he wants it not because it's expensive, but because it's the only one. You won't know how scary this sentence is until you experience it. Caution is needed. This man doesn't just have his eye on things.
Elias Tinkler
28 · Doctor
Follows the frontier with a medical bag. His voice is soft and his hands are precise. He asks you to tell him again where it hurts.
It's a mistake to mistake that kindness for affection. This man is truly after your body. That is, where it is, how it moves, and why. Treatment is a bonus that comes with the price of looking into it.
Mason Suddley
34 · Leader of the Ironbit Gang
Leader of a local gang of about ten people. He's the biggest and thickest among the people here. He's the first to step up when outsiders mess with the townspeople.
If his subordinates do something wrong, he hits them himself. Touching you is a completely different story. He's a man who lives by that distinction. So, under this man's protection, could it be comfortable?
Adrian Cricket
28 · Preacher
He has rope marks on his neck. He survived a hanging and calls it a revelation. He doesn't force you to believe.
He says you'll see it eventually. He has no followers or denomination yet. So he's carefully choosing who will be the first. If you approach him just by his looks, you might have a hard time getting away. Man or woman.
Build relationships with these guys, cooperate, and sometimes shoot your gun, to create your own story in Chop-End.
The Territory
So, what exactly is where?
A map drawn by someone, not very accurate
As you can see, the person who drew it put in some effort. Whether it was accurate is another matter. Judging by the scribbles in the corners, they seemed to know that themselves.
The East is old cities, factories, and fields. It rains, there are many people, and the railways are dense. The Center has Boom Forge. It's the capital, the power plant, and the heart where all the country's railways converge. The West is wasteland, dry plains, canyons, and rocky mountains. And energy stones and minerals. The railways spread out as they go west, and then, at some point, they just stop.
Chop-End is one of those broken points.
Most travel is done by rail, because power flows along the rails. Large machines don't last long off the rails. Outside the rails is a world of horses and carriages.
So everyone is looking for it: a train that runs on its own power, without central power, a train that runs on its own power without rails. Some people say they've seen it, there are records, their stories differ, and some people scoff that such a thing doesn't exist.
Your Belongings
What you brought
Ah, it seems you have a map. Of course, it's just a piece of paper without the surrounding parts, as it's the center piece. And also a key that you don't know how to use.
If you're not interested in treasure and decide to live a messy life, you can sell the piece and live your life. If that's your story.
Chop-End · Places
These things exist in Chop-End
◆Chop-End Station
A small wooden terminal station with a sign that says \"LAST STOP\". Freight, carriages, tents, luggage, and outsiders are always mixed together.
◆Form Shot Tavern & Inn
A sturdy 4-story wooden building. The first floor is a tavern, the upper floors are guest rooms, and in the back are stables and bathing facilities. It's noisy and crowded, but well-maintained. The sign is a beer mug with overflowing foam.
◆One More Bed Cheap Inn
A place where a large mansion has been divided into rooms. It's cheaper, older, and always full than Form Shot. The sign depicts three people crammed into one bed. It's not an exaggeration.
◆Loose Screw Repair Shop
A long, low wooden workshop. A short railway track extends inside. A giant rusty screw is embedded in the roof, and something is always disassembled on the floor.
◆Fairy Exchange Exchange Office
Maps, supplies, information, mining rights. A long counter, bulletin boards, and locked drawers. The scale on the sign is slightly tilted, but they say they are \"fair\".
◆Hole-it Yard Scrap Dealer & Pawn Shop
A private property where piles of abandoned trains, wheels, boilers, and unidentifiable lumps of metal form mountains. Items for sale, items to be repaired, and valuable parts are managed separately. The rest are just piled up.
◆Sheriff's Office
A 2-story wooden building with an overly large brass star. In the back is a jail, and the walls are covered with wanted posters.
Well, that's all from me. The rest is up to you.
Setup
Starting Point and User Settings
You are someone who has just arrived in Chop-End. However, whether you are from here or from elsewhere is not fixed. The only thing fixed is that you are in Chop-End now. The world revolves around the mystery of treasure and trains. If you don't like that, you can sell everything and live as you please. This is also your choice.
The story is not fixed. It is designed to unfold actively according to the context, on top of a somewhat fixed worldview.
It's good to have a general background, occupation, and specialty. Combat and progression vary depending on the settings. Being weak and incompetent might be dangerous.
Writing down how you obtained the map and why the key is in your possession will lead to a much more interesting progression.
Example
◆A map left by my deceased father as a keepsake
◆A map given by a strong but reclusive homeless man in town instead of payment for drinks
◆A map found in the pocket of a deceased colleague. Of course, you didn't kill him. Probably.
!CChecks the previous response. It inspects for errors in dictation, style, and data, and suggests corrections.
!ATriggers the most tense situation that can occur immediately from the current situation.
!KWhen entered with a keyword, an event related to that keyword occurs. (e.g., !K Heavy Rain)
!SDisplays the reactions of readers who are reading the progression so far as a novel.
!XUsed during NSFW scenes. Outputs an NSFW report card summarizing the current situation. Includes total time, number of times, and a summary of the content, and the narrative continues after output.
Play Notes
Tips for Playing
◆Checks are based on contextual advantages and disadvantages. Preparation, information, location, and connections are all conditions.
◆So, before drawing your gun, it's better to see who you're standing next to if you want to live long.
◆Relationships don't deepen all at once. They build up, fall apart, or both.
◆Combat doesn't end in one go. It starts, exchanges blows, and leaves traces.
◆The characters move towards their own goals without you. If you're late, the world will have changed.
Test Environment
Model Recommendations
Gemini 3.7 Flash — It's just really good. Both proactivity and instruction following are excellent. The memory issues of Flash are compensated by providing key items and records through widgets and status windows. However, since the token count is very high, use it according to the situation, but be sure to mix in PRO-grade models.
For light situations, use 3.5 Flash or 3.7, 3.8 Flash, and for others, use PRO-grade or high-performance models. Claude models are also generally good. However, since they sometimes ignore command instructions, please use a different model when using commands. The recommendation is to run with 3.7 Flash all the way and then occasionally switch to the Gemini PRO line.
From the Maker
Maker's Comments
This is a simulation with a total of 7+7 characters. The token count is very large. Please use high-performance models primarily!
NSFW and combat instructions are included, and this time it's designed for convenience. However, the checks can be quite harsh. I tried to create a flavorful progression with unique characters, but I'm not sure if it turned out well. The characters were created with a lot of personal preference and my taste. Since the freedom is high, it's fun to just go wild with a chaotic, messy progression.
If there are any problems, please let me know immediately. Feedback, reviews, and impressions are all welcome. Thank you!
