So you have answered the call of The Prank Masterz. and hope to get this roadtrip off to a rockin' start, but you want help in order to both not die, but also get enough STATS to get an ending. Well in this guide I will try to explain the various systems at play, in order to help maximize stat growth, while helping minimize risk when it comes to your decision making.

First of all we need to discuss stats. Specifically how to tell what kinda stat you'll be gaining or losing from an event. So while playing the game you need to memorize your road signs. After all safe driving is very important, especially when you have upwards of 6 people in a car. Every event usually comes with two roadsigns. A Choice sign, and a Stat sign. Choice signs come in two varieties the yellow diamond, and the blue rectangle. Yellow diamonds show that you'll be choosing which stat is gained or lost. Blue Rectangles show that all the choices effect the same stats, the choice instead being how large of an effect you want. Stat signs are always circular, and show whether that stat is gained or lost. They each have visual distinctions between the two. All gain signs, will be very brightly colored. All lost signs will be dimmer, and have a sad expression of some sort. Each Stat also has colors associated with them. They are as follows:

Hype (Blue): Gain(Big Smile with Starry Eyes)/Lose(Bored Half Asleep Face)
Associated with excitement and good vibes. Why have a Roadtrip if you ain't gonna enjoy it. Choices that increase hype would be things that are fun, silly, or just plain insane. Anything associated with Drugs, Booze, Prankz, and Play will most likely increase hype. You lose hype by doing things that are boring and sensible, though that needn't be the same thing. Competitive Secret Santa is certainly not sensible, but it would be very boring to watch. If two choices have varying levels of insanity, than the one that is crazier has a good chance of being the Hype choice.
Magic (Pink): Gain(Confident Smile with Gas Canister)/Lose(Scared Face with Empty Gas Canister)
Associated with the ability to both use magic, and actually drive your Car. Every car needs gas, and every roadtrip needs a car. Keep your cars fed to keep the party going. Choices that increase magic would be gas refueling, Faustian bargains, and interacting with beings far more powerful than you. You lose magic by using it, summoning circles, magic attacks, banishments, all of these and more can cause you to burn your fuel. If a choice has anything to do with outside forces interacting with you through hypnosis, spells, and other odd powers. That choice will probably increase magic.
Mind (Purple): Gain(Satisfied Smile)/Lose(Gormless Drooling Dead Eyed Stare)
Associated with planning, intelligence, art, and sensibility. Often at odds with Hype, though not always Mind is the stat that represents your ability to stay safe and plan ahead. If a choice is the more boring of the two, there is a good chance that mind will increase. Though if you expect Magic to increase, Mind will likely go down, as the mind is the favorite meal of the eldritch beings. If it has to do with art and performance, in a non silly way mind will likely increase. If it is silly, most likely Hype will increase as that is a playful activity.
Money (Green): Gain(Dollar-sign eyes with a big smile)/Lose(Dollar-sign eyes with a small frown)
Associated with Capitalism, the exchange of goods and services, debt, and betrayal. Everyone loves a gift shop, best keep your money with you so you can enjoy them. Money will usually increase through situations where you trick someone else to giving you money, (as how most capitalists do), though sometimes you are paid for honest labor. You lose money by spending it, whether refueling gas, buying souvenirs, or using expensive items your money is a gate way to these events.
Soul (Yellow): Gain(Angel)/Lose(Devil)
Associated with Morality, Good Deeds, Evil Deeds, Helping Others, or Deceiving them for your own gain. Soul is an easy stat to spot because it simply boils down to whether you are doing something surprisingly nice for something else, or actively preying on another naivety. As such Soul is tied to a lot of other stats. Gaining Hype and Money, can easily lose soul, due to Prankz, and Capatalism. Gaining Soul can usually end up losing Hype as doing good usually is far more boring than being a Chaos Gremlin. Make sure to keep a balance, because this is a game that rewards the wild, not the good.
Stamina (Red): Gain(A content face eating)/Lose(A starved face)
Associated with food, snacks, physical endurance, and excersize. Another easy one to sus out, as you usually gain stamina through eating. Choose the Spaghetti Wig, gain stamina. Mukbang, gain stamina. You lose stamina through strenuous activity. Weather that be running, working long hours, or committing the devils tango you will lose stamina. Anything 18+ in nature, will usually end up losing stamina.

No Roadtrip is complete without Friends/Moochers/Utter Randos/Hobos/etc., to partake in the fun. While everyone can join the fun remember that some friends and foes have different things to bring to your adventure. Some can be a godssend for your party, others can be a serious drag depending on the scenario. This section hopefully will allow you to get a good grasp on the various personalities you can bring on the ride.
Scott Howl - 21
A Werewolf Athlete who compensates for his small brain, with a stupidly huge heart. The goodest of good boys, and Polly's Right Hand Man, and Prank Master. His ability is Chaotic Energy which adds one to stat gains, and subtracts 1 from stat losses.
Polina "Polly" Geist - 22
A Party Ghost with an insatiable hunger for all the wrong things. The Mastermind of the Prankmasterz, assulter of kings, Chess master, and soon to be Author. This ghost is vessel through which all bad decisions rise into a crescendo of chaos. She shares the Ability Chaotic Energy with Scott.
Liam de Lioncourt - 4XX
A hipster Vampire whose standoffish demeanor hides that he is truly a lovable dork. The immortal artist that has lived countless lives to experience all there is to experience. He has the soul of a poet and the mind of a tactician, and so he is either bane or boon depending on where you're heading. His ability is "Fun" Facts, wherein he shows his superior intelligence by giving out condescending trivia. Informational, but boring and insulting. +1 Mind/-1 Hype for every turn during the next week.
Damien LaVey - 21
A fearless demon with a taste for destruction and a love of fire. Damien is the Prince of the 8th Circle of Hell. He is the opposite of chill, being passion incarnate. Loving hard, Raging hard, and Living hard with 100% of his being. As such he is one to always bring the party to the next level, though with him you'll also be living 100% 24/7. His ability So Metal brings this out to the forefront, giving +1 Hype/-1 Stamina for every turn during the next week.
Miranda Vanderbilt - 19
A sweet mermaid princess who was as cute as she is genocidal. Fourth Princess of the Merkingdom, and last in line for the Throne it wasn't until recently Miranda that Miranda started truly living in reality herself. Though still intensely spoiled, and still a reflection of the Merkingdom's horrific culture she is trying to grow out of the lessons her father imparted upon her from a young age. As such her ability A Whole New World shows this growth, granting +1 Stamina/-1 Mind every turn for the week, due to her learning to eat by herself and bringing a boatload of Snacks along for the ride, and driving everyone to mental exhaustion due to her constant questions on the most basic of things.

This next section will include my current work so far. I am hoping to get it whipped into something more easily digestible, but it will certainly take a lot of effort to get it along. I hope you have enjoyed reading this guide, unfinished though it is, and I hope you have fun driving through the mythology of our lives, as this story which has lasted for years and brought me so much joy moves onto it's next chapter.

Some Locations have some unique attributes, attributes that make my other tables useless, so for these most wild of Places I have dedicated there own section.
The Casino
The Casino uses the Random Attribute in which the effects of choices have no concrete result on your STATs. As such this location is one to be cautious of, because you can either rise high, or fall hard. It also uses the progressive Attribute, in which events have a series of choices instead of just one. These choices have greater and greater effects, so fold when you think it's best. Ignore correct and incorrect, I need more data on this one to come to a determination on how it works. I just know that's how I succeeded.

Sometimes stuff just happens on the road with no rhyme or reason. Sometimes tied to a Hitchhiker, sometimes not. Be Aware to expect the unexpected, and pray the tides of chaos don't murder you for no reason. This section hopefully will help in making sure nothing drastic happens.

For Every Location there is three Layers, to get Higher Layers you need to obtain some special conditions, usually a specific Hitchhiker, along with successfully navigating the Events that Are Tied to them. These will be random events that trigger after having gotten enough of the Resource tied to the Location your heading towards. I don't have much yet, due to not currently being successful in this, but hopefully I'll be able to work it out.
Merkingdom Court - Money Location
Hitchhiker - Miranda
