That would not include any checks at all, which is the purpose of a run of Archipelago. Looking at the current yamls, it's lacking things like enemysanity (i understand why) which is what I would propose & assume for character specific runs which radically change how they are played. And that is absolutely nothing like whatever "Risen Dark Story" is
I say i am interested, but i'm already doing knuckles only runs lol
My main issue with only having Expert Logic is that you are /required/ to know various clips & skips
This is a high barrier of entry for anyone looking to do runs, particularly as far as SADX and SA2 are concerned. Shadow to a lesser extent with weaponsanity, but maybe in the future with vehiclesanity will this issue start to be more relevant
Having Normal Logic boards would be very nice, as skips & clips become optional making this kinda run very accessible to anyone and not dependent on resetting for rng to even be able to finish a run in the first place.
I am also of the opinion that each game should have their own boards as sharing one is kinda cramped with the possibilities. Obv multi-game runs should still have a board. But Individual character/style boards would be huge as I am very much interested in running Knuckles only & hunting only max sanity settings. (I would feel comfortable running Expert logic for those) And I am sure others might have this sentiment towards the other 5 characters & speed/mech
assuming you are running the pc release, then yeah you can modify the adx's (you can even delete the music adx's and just play your own playlist too)
With the new game Sonic x Shadow Generations releasing there are two boards since they are technically packaged as different games: Sonic Generations Shadow Generations
It would be great if both could appear when searching "Sonic x Shadow Generations". Currently nothing shows up which could lead to a lot of confusion and pointless game requests.
As one solution, adding an "alternative titles" field to a game's settings to appear in search results would be beneficial to multiple games. For example different names based on regions like Soul Blade (US/EU) vs Soul Edge (JP) and Fan Dubbed names to differentiate same name games like Sonic 1, Sonic 8-bit, Sonic GBA, and Sonic 06, each titled "Sonic the Hedgehog".
surely the 17 year embargo is over and we can finally get a board up
look at category extensions, there is a "Restricted" category that might be in line with what you want.

what game has 80 emblems??
there's no other game with emblems tho, except sonic shuffle, that's why this hasn't been done. i am very curious what you're referring to.
sonic shuffle does not have emblems for completion, emblems are the equivalent of mario party stars.
if you mean mission 1 through 5, that's just the normal missions 1 through 5 each stage has in the game
if you're asking about the catex
Story Style is doing an M1 run with the upgrades you would have access to at that time. Like Prison Lane without the hover.
Restricted are M1 runs that follow the Restricted ruleset. (https://pastebin.com/6asrb2bm)
M1/M4/M5 A-Ranks are ils for those respective missions that route in points to get an A rank.
(psst, expert mode tournament with emulators allowed on the way, pass it on)
anything that made it into generations is generally considered mainstream, so unfortunately, shadow is out
storybook titles are also out because of this
(edit: oh, CD is also out lol)
Lost World, Mania, and Forces lookin good
Argick type category beat lol
