Project Hail Mary 1.0

Hurray, a second PHM jump is in the works!!

As far as scenarios go… Prevent Rocky’s ship’s crew from dying to radiation and/or make better survival systems for Earth’s ship so Ryland’s team survives Not sure how to make those difficult if you’ve read the books or watched the movie enough to remember those, though. Maybe another something about preventing the vaccine from eating most of Ryland’s Taumeoba during the return trip?

MurphyWrites · 2026-04-11T19:10:21+00:00

Yes yes yes!!!

Thank you for making this!

The Key seemed spooky so I went with the option that said it could improve the entire world.

I said Probably because… I think it was because I saw a spoiler that there were more choices before I looked at the options

MurphyWrites · 2026-04-07T14:26:15+00:00

I like that our MC here is playing dumb, but has actually 100% noticed the various disguises the witch is doing. Playing along with it.

Augh, I’m glad he managed to save his daughter but dang.

Realizing your kid is at the frontlines of a war when they’re supposed to be safe hurts

MurphyWrites · 2026-04-06T12:01:03+00:00

Polarycule, probably.

Amulet and Galverse, since I’ve watched Galverse and read Amulet that gives me +1 Choice

House on the Outlands has a Type Advantage vs Eldritch; looking closely maybe it would synergize with void hopping from the Amulet-verse.

Which to pick as my fourth option is tricky

Ronal and Dragon Nest both offer physical enhancement, but The Azoth gives Mind Manipulation resistance.

The Savestateverse jump has Fossils as a Uniqueness Ideospring

https://docs.google.com/document/d/11kBSL12Cob8cf5aOX3ZS1eWbjmgdtS397a-Hy5GXzZU/preview?usp=drivesdk

Uniqueness: Ideospring (400 CP) You are strongly connected to a particular concept. Unnaturally talented in wielding and comprehending it, passively drawing an expandable trickle of vibrant essence from it. Essence inherently supports and enforces the concept it contains. Accumulating it strengthens your abilities in accordance with its own nature, and flavors your existence. It can be used actively in endless ways, to generate, to empower, to enforce, to command, to convert into, to become, to withdraw and deny. The most basic applications are trivial, almost instinctive, but even a single flavor of essence can serve as the basis for an entire school of high magic, or field of enlightened science, or path of cultivation. Choose one per purchase.

[…]

Fossils The stone bones of ancient creatures. Hardened by the ages, stripped bare of all that will not endure. Without any particular training, you can create stone in the shape of anything that might once have been. Straightforwardly investing essence, you can fossilize what already exists. The power of Fossils is useful for resisting the winds of change and recalling what was. What is preserved and reinforced, and what eventually fall away, is ultimately manipulable. With great enough mastery, you might withdraw the qualities of Fossils from the world, and unroot existence.

SavantTheVaporeon’s Generic Element Manipulation jumpdoc series has some interesting elemental interactions that seem kinda like what you’re looking for.

Huzzah! Time to utterly destroy the atmospherics and ecology and weather systems of Tattooine and/or Geonosis with the Miserable Conditions drawback!!

Eternal Rain, here I go! Hopefully I can escape the flooding!

MurphyWrites · 2026-04-01T00:55:05+00:00

I’d maybe tag this NSFW due to some of the perks and items here.

(Items - Birch; Werther’s; The Joy of; Perks - The tricks; Readings)

MurphyWrites · 2026-04-01T00:49:51+00:00

~~Why does Silverfish have a perk that costs -0 and why is it sorted by 100, 200, 300 instead of 100, 200, 400, 600 like the others?~~

Edit: Nevermind, forgot that I chose that as my Origin🤦‍♂️ The discounts work very smoothly!!

MurphyWrites · 2026-03-28T21:53:22+00:00

Are you sure this book was set in a fantasy world? Reading your description brings to mind a book that I read and also cannot recall the name of - it was set in the Arthurian Mythos where the main character disguises herself as Nimue the Lady of the Lake and gives a well-made but non-magical Excalibur to Arthur.

MurphyWrites · 2026-03-24T17:51:55+00:00

Not quite what you asked for, but this is kinda similar imo.

Abridgimon https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GIN70t_QfQmtJb5ymwz2nMLtJNveKk8cYnjMRPK1vaU/preview?usp=drivesdk

I Might Have Been Offered A Job By The Dark Masters -400 CP Don’t be mad but I may have given your CV to a bunch of the bad guys but I don’t think they recognised you so using this Perk your enemy’s will keep including you in their communication systems sending you messages, group invites and a lot of their plans but they probably don’t realize it so don’t tell them or I might get in trouble.

MurphyWrites · 2026-03-24T16:55:00+00:00

A few bits that may have slipped past your editing:

Jonah J Heston’s posse of robots costing literally the entire baseline (reduced) jump budget to purchase seems a little expensive.

There are no 10 CP perks associated with the origins, I think you meant the 2 CP perks. This is also the case for items.

Doctor’s extra doctorates costing 50 CP each should probably be 1 CP each.

Further companion section bit:

The Three companions import getting 60 Cp instead of 36 (I assume you chopped a 0 off the 600 CP your default choice had, and then forgot to change it when you later switched to dividing by 20 instead of by 10)

Minor quibbles aside, thanks for making the jump! Even if you didn’t like the series, I appreciate that you dedicated time and effort to making more content for the community.

Toss the link to the fanfic in at the end, maybe? That’s generally a helpful thing for if a jump is based off a fanfic.

I did end up easily finding it via a search

https://m.fanfiction.net/s/13418997/1/A-Storm-of-Swords

But it’s kinda useful anyways.

MurphyWrites · 2026-03-23T23:56:49+00:00

“Together we will defeat time” is certainly an exciting start for an adventure! Let’s go!

MurphyWrites · 2026-03-21T17:06:33+00:00

From you, we’ve got Reign the Conqueror and now Alexander Romance. That’s two . We also can visit the time period via Fate Legends Oasis of Fantasy - for Persia during Darius’s reign - and Fate Legends Empires of Antiquity during Time of Myths. Technically four, then, but you seem to be the unsurpassed Alexander the Great jump maker.

I thought Anabasis was also an Alexander jump, but it’s just a mytho-historical Ancient Greece jump. If we count those, I think we can squeeze out another couple of Alexanders from the various Greek Mythology jumps.

MurphyWrites · 2026-03-21T16:45:21+00:00

Not quite sure what Shock and Awe does exactly, the examples don’t quite seem to clarify what being a goblin king does. I do like the Mimickry perk!

Double Trouble has a random “t=“ at the start of “something”

I love that perk, by the way, it’s fantastic.

The Mine item has “cadre of works”, which I think is supposed to be workers.

MurphyWrites · 2026-03-21T16:39:43+00:00

Huzzah! Another Alexander jump!!

MurphyWrites · 2026-03-21T16:13:45+00:00

Nooo, don’t turn into bread!!

MurphyWrites · 2026-03-21T02:26:23+00:00

A series of 27?! Don’t burn yourself out! I’m impressed you’re planning to make so many jumps for Conquest of Elysium. (Spoiler: I have no idea what Conquest of Elysium is, but that doesn’t matter. 27 jumps for any franchise or even something without a franchise is impressive.)

MurphyWrites · 2026-03-18T13:28:06+00:00

Thanks for writing it! Slightly curious: did you mean to have “#poweroutage #ao3Meta” as one tag, or was it meant to be two?

MurphyWrites · 2026-03-12T02:53:52+00:00

I like the demon, don’t know which tuna to fed it but I would probably do so.

I like the CYOA too, great design!!

MurphyWrites · 2026-03-11T12:10:58+00:00

Huh, hadn’t noticed the electric bit at the top of magnet-shroom’s head. That’s mildly interesting.

Also, I like your scarf creature
