    This is basically discount Peter Pan but the age limit is up to 17 years old. In return in staying the Badlands, you can have superpowers based on your imaginations. You do not age or die easily unless you really want to. There is only one price, you must stay in the Badlands forever to keep your powers. Also reproduction is not possible there and obviously there is no entertainment in our world found in the Badlands.

    Stay in the Badlands and live as gods or age on Earth and die like mortals?

    I would die without modern world entertainment, like straight up drop dead.

    I would die without internet. With internet comes NU, with NU comes a lot of novel updates.

    Uhh, no clue. Would probably be entertaining for a while, but get stale..... Though, with powers based on imaginations, maybe I can create something like a connection to Earth, allowing me to get updates on internet stuff?
    -- Like either some creation power that feeds off your link to past worlds, and/or some sort of divination/scry ability allowing you to read/download internet stuff

    Edit: Doesn't even really need to be a link really; could just make a pocket world or something, and play around in it, like AR or VR. Browsing their entertainment -- Something similar to... World Keeper?

    Can you imagine how quickly people would go crazy without any form of entertainment whatsoever? I’m assuming “entertainment in our world” includes telling stories and such, since that’s something we do to entertain ourselves in our world.

    Would I be all alone in the Badlands? That would be so lonely...

    So no modern entertainment, age set at 17 and super powers?

    No reproduction, but looking at the age again I assume sex itself is possible never the less?

    Having superpowers based on my imagination would be too overpowered, I think. I could easily think of a power that allows me to create a projection that can actually leave the Badlands while my actual body still resides somewhere in the Badlands.

    Unless that restriction applies to my projections too. But then I don't need to project my body, just my mind to have access to Earth's entertainment.

    Taking a step further and restrict even my mind from leaving the Badlands, I could have the entertainment brought to me by bestowing some powers to someone who probably worships me, and allowing that someone to travel between the Badlands and Earth, or maybe some other worlds as well.

    I respect the thought you spent thinking for a way to break the laws
    and I would also do the same

    It'll be fun for a year or two unless you ended up with a really shitty superpower.

    Nope, I don't like it. Who would want to live such a life, even with a superpower?
