Greetings gentlemen. Now, as you may of heard, a new gamemode's been added to TTC, Sidestories. Now, save for the base announcement, there hasn't really been all that much details about exactly what can be done with this or what it even is. And that changes today.

Introducing, Take The Crown: Sidestories! *fanfare*

To start, by paying 3 Crown Coins you can host your very own event! From this, your in charge of just about everything, from what enemies you fight to your restrictions. The idea is that by making a challenging mission for yourself and your allies, you can earn greater rewards that you yourself has chosen. And yes you read that right, others can hop into your events as well in the form of Helpers. In general, events has 8 Member Slots where people can send their own characters from TTC to here to help out, though you can have more or less slots if desired(even infinite). The event maker can also choose to have their own characters in as well to fill a slot. Note that if you need slots filled and not enough people are opting to join, both the host and helpers can send more than one character to assist.



Now with great rewards come great risks. For example, a lives system is in place. Though it can be increased, the default amount of lives each character has is one. Now, this doesn't mean that if your knocked out your down for the count for if your koed and out of lives, your HP goes to negative. Healing moves can be used to bring you back into the fray. Having additional lives means that you can opt to use one to fully revive yourself.



Speaking of rewards, how the Rewards System works is that there are two main tiers, hosts and users. The host can get a higher set of rewards while the helpers gets a smaller but still useful set of rewards. Something special to note is that for the helpers, there is an MVP award that can be awarded by the host if desired. MVPs get a bonus reward in addition to the standard. There can only be one MVP award given.

Now, we have a few extra ground rules and then we can get into the fun part:

1. This is synced to TTC, meaning all rules still apply and your characters are shared between this and the main game.

2. Once you send a character to help in an event, they can't be used for the raid boss or other events until either the event is finished or you choose to opt out, which can be done at any time. Be advised that if you choose to leave, you won't gain the rewards from it. If you are the host, see Rule 5.

3. XP Gain from standard combat is negated in half. Furthermore, Zenny cannot be gained through standard combat. Unless a certain item or all items are banned from an event, these are good to be used.

4. In general, Crown Coins/Little Papa Reggae items have no effect in Sidestories UNLESS the sidestory maker decide otherwise.
4a. Extra Lives work a little differently. Though they still have the same effect, a max of 3 can be brought in. However, if desired a Sidestory maker can ban or up the value if desired.

5. If you are unable to continue a event/wish not to continue, you can opt to ask someone in the event to become the host(the one that does the calculations, leads the story forwards, etc) or just end it early. Note that doing this means that you will still be in the event unless you wish to opt out of it completely. This also means that the new host gains the host rewards.

6. It should go without saying but cheating the system (9M XP Reward) is not a good idea.

Now that we have this out of the way, at the bottom is the Template for Sidestories. Simply make a copy of your own and get to work. Something to consider is that if you think your mission is of a certain difficulty, feel free to place it both in the event and by it when posting the link. Once it's finished, feel free to send it to Beta to make sure everything is up to speed. If you want to keep certain events/units hidden, make a seconds sheet and post that one public instead while privately still going off of the personal sheet. Now remember, above all else...have fun!
