Storybook
In-Game Description
Tooltip Read the story from this book aloud, applying a random effect to yourself and all nearby players.

After clicking the Storybook while having Reading Glasses:

  • A Drop Of Blood - A tale of an Igor who got a cut and the vampire who teaches him about the blood that pours out. For some reason, those who heard the tale found themselves Bleeding as well.
  • Alexander And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day - A tale of a bad day and how everyone gets them, even in Australia. Those who heard this tale find their day starting to get rather bad via getting 4 random bad effects.
  • All My Friends Are Dead - A tale of life's many conclusions and those who have seen others experience them. Those who heard the tale have seen a grim reaper show up. Now all the reader's friends (and the reader as well for some strange reason) are dead.
  • Go, Dog. Go! - A tale of dogs and the vehicles they operate. Like the aforementioned vehicles, those who heard the tale find themselves accelerating faster.
  • Go The Fuck To Sleep - A tale of the importance of resting and how some kids are incapable of understanding this. Those who heard the tale found themselves yawning before they nod the fuck off, and sleep.
  • Jack and the Beanstalk - A tale of a boy who acquires some magic beans that grow into a massive beanstalk that extends to the skies above and right to a giant's castle. While all the magic beans were acquired by Jack after selling his family's cow, at least there are enough Plant items remaining for those who heard this tale to have one each.
  • Lord of the Rings - A tale of a humble hobbit who was set on a quest to destroy the One Ring in the fires of Mount Doom. While the hobbit succeeded in this grand quest, those who heard this tale suddenly acquired a Ring of Power for themselves.
  • Love You Forever - A tale of a bond that lasts across time and despite all the turmoils along the way. Those who heard the tale find that some of their items have become Soulbound, like the bond between mother and son.
  • Oh, The Places You'll Go - A tale of the journey of life and the places you can traverse through during it. Those who heard the tale are blessed with Cards Of Fate, enabling them to be the ones who decide where to go.
  • Slow Loris - A tale of a zoo animal of the same name who (mostly) took life slowly. Those who heard the tale realized the benefits of living slow and dying whenever and thus got a -4 Slow.
  • The Little Engine That Could - A tale of a small locomotive that kept pushing onward against all odds. Those who heard this tale have taken the phrase "I think I can" to heart, and now have Skip-A-Turn & Incapacitation Immunity for 2 turns.
  • The Snowy Day - A tale of the first snowfall a boy ever experienced and how the boy enjoyed it. Those who heard this tale found mementos of that time in their pockets in the form of Snowballs.
  • The Velveteen Rabbit - A tale of a stuffed rabbit on a journey to become real from a child's love. Inspired by this tale, those who heard it found that some of their items have become Living like the rabbit.
  • We Are In A Book - A tale of two friends gaining awareness of the medium they find themselves in. Those who heard the tale find that a book has appeared before them, and they can't help but wonder if they are in a book themselves.
  • Where The Wild Things Are - A tale of a child ending up on an island and enjoying his wild side with the Wild Things. While all parties must end eventually, a Living item did follow each player who heard this tale onto the boat ride home.
  • You Have To Fucking Eat - A tale of the importance of sustenance in sustaining existence. Those who heard this tale have realized that they need to fucking eat, and thus have gotten themselves a random Food item from somewhere.
