Thinking about running a Made in Abyss Quest once my current thread finishes up. Current plans involve starting shortly after the PC's 5th birthday so players have a chance to pick up skills and organize their build via interacting with the narrative, as opposed to a first post consisting of "here's some points to distribute and a 50k word CYOA."
Knowledge of the series canon wouldn't be required unless the players decided to mix themselves with Riko's group, and even then canon would likely go off the rails considering how early you'd start.
It'll be my first time running a Quest that'll use actual mechanics so I'm keeping things as streamlined as I possibly can–notably, there's only 3 stats. I'll post a more detailed description of the system I've got in mind if there's any interest; I'd really appreciate some help working out the kinks.
