+====== Play This If... ======
+//That's All Folks!// features a world of cartoon wackiness with an element of sadness, and with the range of character creation options available, it can be difficult to figure out how to make a character that integrates into that. The lists on this page are not meant to be the only things that you can choose, but can help give insight into the aspects of setting and relevant Quirks and Abilities that can help define a character. A few sample playstyles are given, but these are far from the only ways to play the game, let alone a comprehensive list of everything you can do with that playstyle. Additionally, the Archetypes suggested for each general playstyle are just examples; you're perfectly welcome to come up with your own!
