So I had an idea recently when I was looking at CYOA ideas and realized a couple of them wouldn't really work under the traditional format.

What do you guys think about the idea of a 'multiplayer' CYOA, where there's more than one PC and the PC's are competing against each other to solve puzzles and earn prizes instead of the QM?
>>
>>25500871
By several PCs, would you mean each player or a team of player being one PC or more like the crowd decide which of the PCs in the story "wins"?
>>
>>25501099

>team of player being one PC
would probably work the best, since assigning one PC to each player would limit the number of overall players and possibly even encourage tripfagging. Also, multiple players per PC would make the game easier to run since even one missing player would mean that PC gets unfairly handicapped by not being able to participate during whatever event is going on at the time.
>>
>>25501135
Alright, then your idea is just not my thing at all, senpai
Competitive elements between players has never attracted me the slightest in collaborative roleplaying situations.

Thank you Anon I will cherish these.

>>25502723
That's nice of you to say, but I feel like I'm letting you guys down with regard to how he's portrayed. Everytime I ask for advice on how to make him more characterized, the response is always an allusion to his name, which is probably one of the vaguest words in the English language (Seriously, his name means "good" or "pleasing." That's hard to work with.). I've considered having him be a bit more foppish, but that really contrasts with both his occupation and his portrayal in Threshold thus far. I'm trying to make him a bit more nuanced (and independent, as that one Anon suggested due to him being 'separate' from the Anon hivemind unlike most MC's), but my writing a shit, so it's hard to make it show through.


Anyway, enough rambling for now. Threshold is up!

Yes

>>25505907
I've seen about 40 seconds of Space Dandy.

>>25505977
The Threshold itself would be more cold and sterile, but the characters would be more varied. I guess it'd lean more towards the serious side, except for a few of the more lighthearted characters like Squishy and Bang. Since I've largely kept music out of Threshold compared to my other games, I guess the best advice I can give is to use your own judgment.

I've always associated a dandy with a fop, which doesn't really work. The only way it would work is if he acted like a fop to most people but displayed competence when actually working on something. Which would show that a general unseriousness is just how he treats the world. But it's a bit late in the game for that particular characterization.
>>
>>25506796

Legit spoilers for once: That's actually why I'm portraying Dandy as somewhat incompetent and with a bit of a stutter: He's putting on an act.

Someone said we needed to talk about other quests more so here we are I'm going to talk about both Spaces

Space Horse came back to day and actually managed to get more than two posts out which surprised me and it looks like we're going to be getting back into action. Between the bounty on us and the contract we've just got things are looking pretty good we might even get into some serious space combat which i've been looking forward too

I'm enjoying space bug's story so far although the volume of clop has been a little off putting (I've started skipping a lot of it) I really enjoy our interactions with hunter. He's a little cutie and we need more art of him.

Come to think of it we need more art for both space quests. Any artists want to help out?

The biggest problem is that both Spaces are pretty light on descriptions. Description is usually passed up to get to the actions and decisions.

One of the reasons I was trying to foist the pet play more on Chaos was so that the clop didn't get heavier but that was brought back around by Space Bug anyway. Pretty sure that particular bit is his fetish. Pet play/domination really isn't my thing so while I get the general mechanics behind it I'm not really imaginative with it.

>>25507069

I don't really mind the clop itself, just the density of it. We're at the point where we're having to prioritize which kind of sex we're having with which pony.

That's probably why you've always lacked on description. You've never had them in the first place. Might want to work on that first if you want to get better at describing things. Even if you don't use every aspect of it it's good to fully imagine a scene.

I can't tell you to run or not because that's up to you. If the reason your considering abandoning the quest is because of lack of interest then I can tell you that there are people interested. Just because threads die doesn't mean you should just give up. People don't always bump because they're either busy or lazy and that's just part of running a CYOA. If you decide to continue then I'll post more often, even if it's just agreeing with what other players have said.

>>25504030
That's the appeal, everyone around you is special and awesome. We are an Innkeeper dealing with all the craziness.
>>
>>25510469
I would personally argue against this.

Pot Luck is inherently less crazy/violent/talented than everyone around him, but that's not an excuse for him to have a weaker character.
>>
>>25510495
How is he weaker? I mean his a cook and good with words and solves problems with his smarts.
>>
>>25510514
>good with words and solves problems with his smarts.
That can describe literally any MC.
>>
>>25510514
That just screams bland cardboard MC.
>>
>>25510514
What are his strengths, what's his personality? More importantly, what are his character flaws?

He's just bland. Good with words and smart does not a good character make.
>>
>>25510524
That's because MCs are meant to represent the player. Outgoing and overly distinct characters kill the immersion and players lose connection and then interest in the story.

This is why so many games and movies have bland main actors.
>>
>>25510544
>this is what a JAD player believes
>>
>>25510544
I'm a fan of Pot Luck but no, that's wrong. Most of the better MCs have their own distinct personalities.
>>
>>25510554
This is what the hole world believes
>>
>>25510416

Got a few...

Cutequestria Wars - be a commander of an army. Except you fight with pillows, fruits, and other soft-items as to never truly harm your opponents. Large-scale battles of ponies pillow-smacking each other into submission. Having trouble figuring out how to make the battle parts interesting, as well as the stuff in-between fights.

Stranded in space - wake up to find your spaceship (type of ship up to anons) adrift in space for unknown reasons. Use your smarts and skills to survive, save the other crew members, figure things out before you run out of food or water or power or get sucked out into space...

Robo-ponies - be a robot. Do stuff...get upgrades...still a skeleton of an idea. I just like robot-ponies and wouldn't mind doing something along those lines.

Something with a tank - I'm not a tank autist like Panzeranon so I'm hesitant to develop this idea much further. But it would've been something like following the adventure of a tank crew in a war zone, get separated from others and have to maybe fight your way back to your lines or complete an objective, keeping your tank running, your crew alive, pick up allies along the way...
>>
>>25510561
>hole world
/x/ pls
>>
>>25510559

I control Pot Luck's word-vomits and even I want to give him more character. I mean its not like I can't make an interesting characters...he's surrounded by them after all. Same time I don't want to shoe-horn things in...feel like I painted myself into a corner.

I want him to have character like Treads...minus the bullying.
>>
>>25510598
All of Tread's weirdness was made by players IIRC. Panzer just enacted it.
>>
>>25510544
That's wrong. From experience, strong character actually increases immersion. There's a reason you pick an alignment when you make a D&D character.

Characters should have motivations, personality, backstories. Look at Chalk, Treads, and Jolly.
Chalk's kind of a sociopath, only looking out for her own interests, and keeps all her ducks in a row, getting violent when things don't go her way.
Treads is detached, distant, self-demanding, and very protective of those closest to her, especially Little Star.
Jolly shares some of those traits, completely straight-faced all the time, detached and distant, cracks awful jokes.

And you know what's better? Treads and Jolly have distinct reasons to act the way they do. Treads from her mother and Jolly from her disease. That's character.

You know what all of those characters have in common? They were all blank slates, the personality was completely designed by the players, and they grew as the quest went on.
>>
>>25510637
Then pots just the way he is due to the players wanting him to be. He screams a panics hard when shit is out of his control, mainly in violent settings.
>>
>>25510687
Again, not an excuse.
>>
I wanna bully Pot Luck
I want to compare him to Tread's cardboard tanks
