The next chapter will include both Carl and Donut receiving a Platinum fan box, which will take a few days (and chapters) to open. I have Donut's prize already chosen, but I will write into the story whatever you choose for Carl.  You may vote for more than one item.  If this works out, we will continue to do this, including having you guys vote for what's on the list in the first place.  If you have any questions about the items, let me know.

Going back and seeing this post I am happily not surprised that he would have received the cook book anyway

Matt Dinniman

I should clarify the skill potions.... +2 to an existing skill. Not new skills.

Finn Ryan

I think you mixed up the cookbook and the singular book

Markus

PLZ vote for the motorcycle 🏍️🏍️🏍️ would be awesome

GoodOldChap

ahg ... too ... many ... good ... options

Nyotree

It was a book to teach people how to build explosives This one sounds like the dungeon version

GoodOldChap

Motorcycle would be cool but not very useful in the later floors (I assume) Bombs I feel like he should just buy Skill potions might be the best reward considering his race, but they're not very dramatic

Heraclitus

I love how we get a chance to influence the story and we decide go with (according to the current tally) giving up said chance.

Dark Chaos

A skill that maximizes Collateral Damage and somehow rewards him for it.

Matt Dinniman

Further clarifications: recipe book will be plans and schematics for traps used in previous seasons. Anarchist Cookbook will be a manual that will also include traps (but not as many) plus bomb recipes and other methods of causing chaos, including tips and tricks on crowd control, etc.

Macronomicon

I was actually thinking the best laid traps could definitely be smut.

Jordan

None of these really make up for missing out on the Celestial box. His fans need to step up. Surely they'd be upset that he was robbed and crowdsource something better like a magical Bedazzler. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amicrtFYgVQ

Really though, why the fuck is there an option for Carl to pick?? Like.. if the people who voted for that don't want to pick something, then fuck off and don't vote in the first place lol

2026-09-05 05:00 I am curious about the magical chaps. Would they be practical chaps or brokeback mountain chaps?

Wow we are the audience. I mean I knew that but I feel mildly horrified when confronted with this fourth wall.

Jake White

I'm assuming/hoping that Carl will be choosing the 2nd place vote if the pop-up reward room is the winner. Yes? No?

Matt Dinniman

Maybe, maybe not. I have a plan for the pop-up option if it wins. What he chooses will end up being a surprise.

jmperjoe

I like the pop-up option, but I think it makes it too easy on us. "Give the hero what he wants when he wants it" is less exciting than, "wtf am I supposed to do with 1000 random books," or we can only assume what effect the personal items would have

Chris M

To me, one of the good things about this story is that Carl consistantly gets into bad situations, but through either luck or cunning overcomes the issues. So to my way of thinking something embaressing but ultimately useful(like the boxers) or emotionionally deep(Like the cowboy books from before) are the way to go.

Klaus R

Wow, crazy you turned the results of this poll into some of my favorite elements and scenes from the book. Although is scares me to think he might not have gotten the anarchists cookbook

james sims

the book was the reason i joined petrean. I love watching carl realize that he's fighting for generations of people and that he is just one in a long line of bastards that the corporation has used. I'm so glad it turned out this way

Ryan Taylor

Dude exactly the book adds a depth to the story making carls revenge bigger than just himsef or even just for earth.
