History TabletopGame / ChuubosMarvelousWishGrantingEngine

* EvilOverlordList: Going against Rule 34 ([[RuleThirtyFour no, not that one]]) [[GenreSavvy is explicitly a bad idea]]. See ScaledUp, below.

* ElementalPowers: Characters on the Spiritual miraculous Arc slowly obtain knowledge, creation, destruction and control over a particular element, although it's usually something local or specific as compared to the TabletopGame/{{Nobilis}} counterpart of this ability, which was cosmic in scope.

* {{Shipping}}: With the nature of the Glass-Maker's Dragon characters and the potential for things developing in play, groups can support virtually any pairing that they feel makes sense. One of the major playtest contributors even commissioned a shipping wall depicting Seizhi with most of the other characters.

* EldritchLocation: Every Region of Town has Properties, a set of metaphysical truths about that Region, which can enhance actions taken in accordance with them. The main Regions are Fortitude, Horizon, Arcadia, Big Lake, Little Island, Bluebell Park, Old Molder, the Walking Fields, and the Outside, though there are sub-Regions, minor Regions, and lost Regions as well.

* GothicHorror[=/=]{{Halloweentown}}: Much of the atmosphere of Horizon is based on this, what with vampires, ghosts and undead horrors being very common, as well as gothic ruins, cemeteries and the like. Due to this the region is the preferred location of Gothic-genre games.

''Chuubo's'' is intended as a transmedia project, initially focusing on novels and [=RPGs=]. One novel, ''Fable of the Swan'', has been released, and the RPG corebook and initial supplements - namely, a book covering the Fortitude region and a campaign book - have been funded via Kickstarter, with the corebook available from [[http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/134196/Chuubos-Marvelous-WishGranting-Engine Drivethrurpg]].

''Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine'' is a tabletop game by Jenna Moran geared mainly towards playing pastoral slice-of-life fantasy, ala Creator/StudioGhibli movies, ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', or ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Friendship is Magic]]'', although gameplay is flexible enough to cover a wide variety of genres and story styles, even to works as complicated as ''{{Webcomic/Homestuck}}'' or as symbolism-ridden as ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena''. While it has its origins in another of Jenna's games, ''TabletopGame/{{Nobilis}}'', and some of its tone comes from her [[Literature/HitherbyDragons Hitherby Dragons]] project, for the most part, ''Chuubo's'' is its own thing.

** Jasmine/Jasper Apocynum very obviously mixed [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina]] and [[{{FLCL}} Haruko]] into an [[TabletopGame/{{Nobilis}} Excrucian]]. You can run, now.

* GoneHorriblyRight / GoneHorriblyWrong: Very common consequences of a Wish.
* GothicHorror: Much of the atmosphere of Horizon is based on this genre, what with vampires, ghosts and undead horrors being very common, as well as gothic ruins, cemeteries and the like. Due to this the region is the preferred location of Gothic-genre games.

* DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu / PalsWithJesus: Much less blatant than in Nobilis, despite the same potential for regularly meeting and being friends with gods and miraculous beings of all sorts. Though some canonical characters know or ''are'' gods of some sort, it usually doesn't get acknowledged. For instance, the Child of the Sun is the new resident sun god of Town, but she's not even aware of it.

** [[DefiedTrope Defied]] with Become Somebody's Commanding Aura and Reject abilities. Both allow characters to turn other people or things into something more or less like them by communicating with them, but it's explicitly a [[[[CharmPerson psychic attack]] instead of something that could be hand-waved away like 'charisma'.

* TheAce / RennaisanceMan: A character type (exemplified by The Prodigy) and miraculous Arc. At their peak, a character with TheAce is more like a PhysicalGod, capable of physically impossible feats such as surfing on sound waves, running faster than light and punching out characters out of movies.

* {{Retcon}}[=/=]TheReveal: The "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Revelation]]" power from Creature of Fable works like this. The character declares that some aspect of reality was hidden all along up until that point, and even though it's a lie and an illusion, it then becomes true. However, if the reveal is [[FridgeLogic too]] [[AssPull implausible]], [[GambitRoulette complicated]] or just not good, it ceases to occur, as an Unreal effect.

* TheAce: A character type (exemplified by The Prodigy) and miraculous Arc. At their peak, a character with TheAce is more like a PhysicalGod, capable of physically impossible feats such as surfing on sound waves, running faster than light and punching out characters out of movies.

* PowerAtAPrice: Wounds can grant temporary abilities so long as there's some kind of drawback to them. Taken one step further with the miraculous Arc Wounded Angel, which allows you to ritually bind your wounds and obtain several miraculous abilities from them, as exemplified by Leonardo de Montreal.

* AntiHero: Leonardo de Montreal, whose heroism is at least fifty percent based on proving how much better he is than everyone else.

* TheAce: A character type (exemplified by The Prodigy) and miraculous Arc. At their peak, a character with TheAce is more like PhysicalGod, capable of physically impossible feats such as surfing on sound waves, running faster than light and punching out characters out of movies.

* MundaneUtility: Given the focus of the game on character interaction, it's very common for characters to figure out ways to use their skills and miraculous abilities for mundane uses. This is best exemplified by Chuubo himself, who has on at least one occasion used the amazing, potentially world-breaking powers of the Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine to... wish for an ice cream.
