Afterbirth+ and rules updates

I put in the request for AB+ to be added as its own game on this site.

What categories do people think should be there? My first thought is: 1, 7, 12, 14, 1 seeded.

The AB+ rules will include the line "You can't use the debug console."

Additionally, I am going to add the following text to the rules for both AB and AB+ unless there's some objection:

"You have to show the seed(s) for all relevant segments of your run, either by using an external program like an item tracker or by bringing up the pause screen.

You can't use any kind of mods that affect gameplay or give an advantage. (This includes speeding up resets.)"

Also, how are we going to handle the "booster pack" thing? I guess the most reasonable way is to have a column for the game version and just mix it all together.

Ya just do a version number and when ever edmund adds content jsut treat it as a new patch

I see you included the rules i sent! Nice! <3

Honestly, unles booster packs do include a lot of items, i doubt it'll matter to have them together. I'm up for the column, but we'll see when first one gets released (We don't know if they are going to be like 3 items and 5 rooms or if they will bring relevant content like new starts)

My thoughts on the cathegorys are: 1 char, 7 char, 12 char (non-secret chars), 14 chars, 1 seeded and MAYBE a misc 1 char delirium incase someone wants to run that

It's a small thing, but I'd prefer if 7 char is the category that is in the first tab, since it's the real run people attempt, and 1 char isn't something people really go for.

I propose following categories: 7char, 11char (rebirth ones, with lost without lilith), 13char(afterbirth ones), 14char, I think 1char is unnecessary, but if people want to do it I suggest to 7char to be the first tab, because that's what the most people will probably run To booster packs, just add game version tab.

@Krakenos Don't remove the only cathegory i can WR on BibleThump

My thoughts are (in order) : 7 char (main category), 11 char (rebirth one), 14 char (I don't see why we must include a 13 char since Apollyon is a pretty good and a non troll charac) and add a 1 char run, because it's fun and pretty interesting. By the way, I think we can add a category with the dark room, some runners made an attempt on afterbirth so why not add it ?

I've got an over idea with the victory lap, maybe we can do a category like : "finish the game 5/10 times with the victory lap tool ?"

And for boosters, let's just add the version we run the game :)

7,11(but keeper lilight apillyon),14. 1 char, 1 char seeded.

Actually, now that I think about it we don't need 13, let's just do 7, 11 from rebirth and 14.

1 char, 7 chars, 11 chars(rebirth characters) and 14 characters is my opinion for main categories. All the other categories people will want to run in the fututre can be in misc I think. Also, adding a column for version is good for now untill they stop updating major things the next month or two..

This is rather impressive, even with cheats (AND multiple players), however, in my opinion, I believe that a true "speedrun" should be done without cheats. I mean, I could co op through the entire game and call it speedrunning, but that wouldn't be fair. I am not saying I hate the run. The gameplay is still awesome, I just believe that speedruns should be kept cheat-free and fair. BrainSlug
