🧵 CANON WEAVE - canon-event, continuity, branching, timeline engine

https://github.com/amazingrand0mproductions-crypto/CANON-WEAVE 🧵 CANON WEAVE — Turn Any Franchise Into a Living Timeline Ever wanted to play inside an existing franchise without watching the story abandon canon after a handful of turns? CANON WEAVE is an advanced AI Dungeon scripting system for franchise adventures, adaptations, alternate timelines and long-form campaigns. It keeps major events moving in a believable order without forcing the player to copy the original story. Pick a franchise. Build your character. Change the timeline. CANON WEAVE handles the backbone. 🎬 FRANCHISE MODE Put a franchise name in the Config and CANON WEAVE can build a chain of Canon Event Story Cards around it. Use franchises such as Naruto, Marvel, DC, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dragon Ball, Star Wars, Pokémon, Fallout, Harry Potter, Mass Effect and more. You can also control: • Continuity or adaptation • Starting and ending point • Main canon, filler or selected arcs • Player role • Timeline pacing • Canon strictness • Source material • Event detail For greater accuracy, add your own Canon Source Story Card containing the timeline or continuity you want followed. 🧭 CANON IS A BACKBONE — NOT A CAGE Explore somewhere the original protagonist never visited. Save someone who was supposed to die. Refuse the deal the original hero accepted. Join a different faction. Destroy an important location early. Play an original character. CANON WEAVE tracks what actually happens and lets later events adapt. A canon event can wait, move, happen elsewhere, become optional, be skipped, or remain mandatory depending on your choices and Config. If a location is gone, the timeline can work around it. If you miss the original meeting, consequences can reach you somewhere else. If an event becomes impossible, it can be resolved without breaking everything after it. ⚡ MORE THAN NORMAL STORY CARD TRIGGERS Canon Events can depend on: • Previous canon events • Characters and locations • Facts established earlier • Character Creator choices • Flags and alternate routes • Timeline windows • Contradictions • Multiple pieces of evidence • Prior event completion • Event priority • Relative timing CANON WEAVE can also pull the right Character, Location, Item, Faction and Lore Story Cards into context when an event becomes important. That means a major confrontation can arrive with the correct people, place, lore and continuity information already loaded. 🌒 FORESHADOWING & BRIDGING Important events do not have to appear from nowhere. CANON WEAVE can foreshadow future beats before they activate. A tournament can be mentioned before registration opens. Rumours can spread before an invasion. NPCs can grow suspicious before a betrayal. Political pressure can rise before a coup. If the player has moved away from the original source-material path, CANON WEAVE can bridge canon toward the current story instead of teleporting the player into a scene. 🎭 YOUR CHARACTER IS STILL YOURS CANON WEAVE is built to protect player agency. It can make the villain issue the canon ultimatum. It can start the invasion. It can arrange the duel. It can reveal the secret. But it should not decide that you accept, surrender, attack first, fall in love, betray someone, or think a certain way. Canon creates the situation. You decide what your character does. 🔀 BRANCHES & ALTERNATE TIMELINES CANON WEAVE supports: • Hero and villain routes • Alternate endings • Mutually exclusive branches • Character-focused arcs • Original-character timelines • Replacement protagonists • Observer stories • What-if scenarios • Canon-divergent campaigns Major choices can permanently change what future canon is allowed to do. 🧠 BUILT FOR LONG STORIES CANON WEAVE includes: Retry and Undo protection, continuity tracking, event dependencies, automatic franchise event generation, completion detection, contradiction handling, deadline recovery, Story Card retrieval, route flags, event cancellation, adaptive context budgeting, debugging tools, Canon Doctor validation, optional roadmap cards and more. It is designed for adventures that need to stay organised across hundreds of turns, not just the opening scene. 🛠️ SIMPLE OR ADVANCED You can keep it simple: Choose a franchise and play. Or open the Config and control the entire system. The included Config Story Cards explain the settings in their Notes and include presets for different styles of play. 🧵 Enter the story you already know. Then find out what happens when you stop following the script.
