Here's Liminal Phrenic's blog with most of his cyoa stuff theouterworlds.blogspot
Here's Spadesy's wordpress with most of his cyoa stuff feathersnake.wordpress
This cyoa is a bit perverted but interesting however it seems to have issues in the Journey department and is a little unclear on wording here and there.
>>43873392
Mostly in the area of Journeys.
* You can't take a 5 and 4 month journey because there are no 3 month journeys to make up 1 year.
* You can't complete free the slaves in 1 year and repay the money as the only other mission you can take is the Lost Treasure one.
These could probably be solved if you could take longer then 1 year to do Journeys till you accrued enough cash to pay off your debt.
Contradictions come in the form of saying choose your orphan and yet there is at least 1 Journey that requires 2 orphans, which would mean you can buy more then 1 orphan at start or you must take a mission that rewards an orphan which is impossible to complete in the 1 year limit.
>>43873392
From last thread, a question answered >>43872634
>>43873392
Correct me if you are certain one of these is wrong.
1, you can buy things after returning from a journey.
2, you can split up/double down and do two simultaneously
3, you can't do a journey twice
Question,
>per person
which means one purchase covers the whole party for 6 months, right?
>>43874255
Yeah it's pretty vague.
As far as food goes, I took the food to cost 50g per person for 6 months so if you have you, guard, orphan you have to buy 3 food for 6 months.
>>43874255
Never thought of doing a journey twice.
On Doubling Up... I would think you couldn't do more then 1 journey at a time even if you had more then 1 orphan as you'd all technically have to be on the journey and I doubt the guard is going to let you split people up or let you out of their sight.

Might be total bullshit. I'd be travelling for a long time.
This assumed that dogs provide a 'food' continually. Idk.
>>43875296
Huh, he's back.
>>43875455
Hmm, but I know exactly what CYOA this dumbass is going on about this time.
And given that the youngest Alice can be in the "Game of Alice" is "10 years younger than you" that means the anon with a 4-year old Alice just outed himself as being 14.
Underage b&
>>43875581
Actually, no. You are mistaken.
The number there, four, probably represents what he rolled. Idk what the fourth result is. Regardless, i doubt her height is '2' or her hair is '5' because five isn't a color and two needs a unit indicator.

Looks fine and dandy to me,although what are you going to put on the right of the text(the one in the middle)?
>>43877100
Looks fine. Thumbnail though, bro.
>>43877122
Left text is abilities, right text will be fluff.
Thought of adding more pics alongside the fluff but I dunno if it won't become even more cluttered.

Oh, derp, well b-better not ruin the surprise I suppose?
>>43877078

>>43877223
This
is there no cyoa that has all the pokemon typings and powers based on which one you choose?
>>43877690
There is one close to it with the pokemon humanized, and stuff. I don't know if its being updated/fixed or not.
Part 1 of it.

>>43877901
Part 3
>>43877857
>>43877901
>>43877945
yeah, this is why i asked. this is a tad bit more intricate than what i said, but it is cool. but im just blown away that no one has thought "hmm i'll make a cyoa where you have to pick a power based on pokemon types." it's a no brainer.
>>43872634
>Grimm.... grim
I see what you did there.
>>43878030
Sometimes people get the idea, sometimes they don't. Its by chance.
>>43877078
hard to tell without knowing what's going in all the blanks. line length in the existing blocks of text seems a little long, while the height is rather short. you probably don't care about that though. generally speaking? it lines up, not amazing but nothing fatal so far.
Posting mine since I haven't posted it for awhile.
I've been thinking about adding perks that you can choose one of, no matter which route you take. Something like a companion with the same deal that you get (waifu option), or getting the ability to have your companion shut up for a certain amount of time (obviously useless for one or two options)
>>43879265
This doesn't tempt me. I'm not hating, just responding.
Here, have a favorite of mine. Does anyone else prefer short CYOAs?
>>43879265
So does the exo-suit mean I have to charge it for 8 hours to use it for one day? Cause thats a pretty big downside.
I choose the alien symbiote no matter what in any case but still.
>>43879336
Fair enough I suppose.
>>43879372
I intended it as every day, yes. I just figured it doesn't have a whole lot of downsides compared to the others, so just give it one bigger downside.
>>43879372
To be fair, YOU need about 8 hours per day to charge as well. It's really only a downside if you want to ask the AI to guard you while you sleep.
>>43879265
I'd probably take the suit since I value my privacy and I can still live my normal life with it.
>>43879361
Take the inkpot, erase vile things from history, like certain pedo prophets.

>>43879265
>steal body

>super-duper smart?
>negligible downsides
>>43879941
Compared to the others it has no downsides.
>>43879987
>>43879941
To me it depends on whether or not those ghost hunters can kill me. I don't want to be trapped in an existence like that. If they can kill ghosts, then there's not really a downside.
>>43880079
If they can't kill you, then they will imprison you, most likely without a body.
You'll eventually either go insane from the sensory deprivation or from the sheer boredom.
>>43880161
Right, that is a severe downside. The potential to be destroyed or move into a new universe or whatever is desired.
>>43878030
>>43878321
It sounds interesting enough to me that I'd make something. I'd base the traits on metrics from the game like the average stats, total count of weaknesses and resistances and balance of physical-special-status moves for each type.
>>43879987
Maybe if you're a total fucking sociopath. Some of us don't like the idea of stealing somebody's body and then killing them when we leave.
>>43880606
Some of us aren't smart enough to realize you can target people that should be killed and come away with a net positive effect.
Don't you want to dismantle child sex trafficking rings from the inside?

>>43877078
I actually like it, it looks intrigueing.
>>43881263
Mate there is no evolving. Its personification. The people in it/world/items/types of moves people can use are based off of pokemon, but nobody is a real pokemon/evolving is most likely growing up.

My long term plan is to set something like this up
>First, you find low level players who are unwilling to face zombies or certain death for xp, but willing to face injury at least. Offer them xp for every time injury is traded from you to them. They'll stay comfortable in whatever passes for a hospital and looked after by a Healer or Healers. The agreement would involve the trade of any injuries that are not immediately life-threatening for a certain period of time, say 24 hours, and xp is given to the receiver of said injuries depending on severity and frequency.
If this is at all feasible, I can see it being a pretty popular deal and arrangement offered by certain settlements and organizations.

I think skub conflict instigators should be dragged into the street and shot. But that's just me.
>>43882597
PVP charmer: dominatrix who whips you then screws you
PVP Necro/Pond Scum: Steals your soul, then trades it back to you in exchange for all your XP.
PVP Winner: Makes you do nothing but play thumb war with him for a year to grind an achievement.
PVP Transmuter: Hooks you up to medical equipment so you don't die when she dissects you over and over again.
PVP Seer: fluffs your pillow and checks that your gear is in good working order.
>>43883779
And I think that skub conflict suppressors should be taught to eat pavement so they understand how bland their arguments make life, but "that's just me."
>>43883422
cool. With your theme, coming up with companions should be easy.
>>43883422
>Dat Raven
Literal full mental pause WUT?
It's an interesting concept, currently I'd go with Sorcery of Death and Heavens (barely avoiding demonology here, mostly because it specifies sacrifice of life instead of just blood, so no donation drives for power).
Then it's taking Hansel, Gretel, and Cinderellawhile trying to just push a bit of sissyfication onto Hansel.
Aside from that, just take care of them and do my job, if I get involved with them later then hey, sure, but if not I'll be fine and still look after them.

There isn't much to the design at all. It does function well for what it is (design wise). Some images would have been cool and clarity in some areas.

What's the deal with Ragnarok? Do they expect me to join without knowing anything about them?

This is great so far. i'd like to see the powers expanded a bit if possible and of course more orphans.
Just use the OP one as a guideline for your orphans or more fairy tales, which you're already doing and the OP cyoa did too. If you need help just ask and you'll probably get help.
Keep up the good work.

>>43886813
Actually that's a Later version that Beri just expanded on.
>>43886827
I don't care which one is later, hoss. The version I quoted has half the content for no real gain, so it's inferior.
>>43886813
Why take out Emotion orb?
>>43886925
I don't know. Not like any of the emotion orbs' powers are good. They all seem pretty weak and useless to me. And hey, instead you can combine three orbs.
>>43884465
Year 1: Cheetah [Unending Stamina]
Year 2: Squid [Regeneration]
Year 3: White Lion [Telepathic Tactics]
Year 4: Stag [Enhanced Charm]
Year 5: Butterfly [Select Static Age]
Kind've wanted wanted to spend the fifth year as an Elephant. Elimination of sleep would be awesome, but whatever. Assuming cheetah gives me something close anyway, and with near immortality I have all the time in the world.
Have no idea what "Telepathic Tactics" is, but I'm assuming it's just reading minds. With enhanced charm, this should mean I'd enjoy my eternity.
>>43886946
>Have no idea what "Telepathic Tactics" is
I believe it's how packs of animals coordinate their hunts without actually communicating.
>>43886984
They do that with physical signals. Humans are very vocal, but most animals have to rely on body language.
>>43884465
1 Bison:Super Constitution, with regen and static age disease becomes more likely to be my end and this should help defend against it.
2 Squid:Regeneration, worth it but hate being away form land
3 Snow Tiger:Enhanced Agility,
4 Snake:New human body, like Thor
5 Butterfly:Static age(25), which would be super tough.
>>43887009
>which would be super tough.
I mean being a butterfly would be very difficult because they are so fragile and stuff. Not that being 25 forever would be super tough.
>>43883422
It's a third time me reposting some obscure or unfinished CYOA inspires someone to make another, cool.
I like the idea, though presence of mind control magic means there is no real incentive to molest the orphans as i can get any other girl. Maybe that ws intended.
>>43883011
If you take Ragnarok/Underworld waifu as other faction that probably they will leave their faction and join you, that means you can reform as some of them are not really evil, just work for evil, mostly Ragnarok ones. Alsocreepy thousands years oldEmpress of Rainbows looks sweet and not career obsessed, she just have a serious job but still happy and kind. Idol might or might not be a slut, this is not directly implied. Village swordsman girl is not evil/career too. Gungirl is the same way.

I didn't post it. I just corrected his false statement. Nothing more, nothing less.

Are we gonna get an idea of what melee rolls and such are and how tehy work? And something to do with 'em?
>>43887364
Mmhmm. You roll against Demon Psi Parasites, who have their own attack patterns and such.
I'll explain the rules more once I have all four Demon Psi Parasites fleshed out.
>>43887335
Neat and awful(?).
>>43887364
Generally, there are two ranges. Melee, and Ranged.
Ranged attacks work in both ranges, but Melee attacks only work in the Melee range. In exchange, Ranged Attacks use smaller dice.
Characters strong in melee also get bonuses in Melee range.
>>43887384

Not really, they have excellent stamina and can go without a meal longer than most felines their size.
It looks like they have shit stam because they lack high tier cooling, and their high speed wears down their bones / breaks tendons overtime, not to mention the high oxigen consumption required to keep hunter's brain focused while moving through irregular terrain at such velocity.
If you ever played "old" ragnarok online, they'd be like an asura build monk. It's cheaper and more effective for them to not engage in prolonged hunt bullshit.

There's such a thing as too much, imo. I like >>43886794 more than >>43886813, 'cause the triple combos just get to kinda bullshit. Also Travelers is total shit.
Taking the beads, by the way. Lots of uses, both at work and at play. Book is tempting but that life is honestly not something that would make me happy.
Does anyone have the CYOA that was essentially Space Refugee in a fantasy setting? It had options to choose you race, drawbacks for vampirism and lycanthrophy, a ton of gear to choose from, different scenarios, companions, and one of the images used was a woman with stupidly huge breasts.

Pretty sure that is all that is needed to deal with any monster and most if not all humans.

Sixth sense let's the character know what skill to use.
Incoming physical attacks either blocked or using Iron Mass. Needing to respond quickly with Overdrive. Nullification to deal with magic.
Last page is just preference anyway. So those points are meh.
>>43889959
I love how fully half of the options listed end up with megaton destroying the world. (No, spider man is not going to stop them, but some super-waifu probably can.) Great work, this is why we need less wish fulfillment and more old-style "what sucks the least" CYOAs.
>>43890318
I don't dislike that one, but you're delusional if you think we need less of anything and more of anything else just because you personally like it.
>>43890318
Also that one IS old as balls, numbnuts. You're bad at even being an oldfag.

Just for the record, i didn't make this one. It's REALLY old CYOA that I just recently rediscovered.

That's not what he's saying at all, but let me imply what you're saying.
>People should cater to my tastes
>>43890361
Read the freaking post, mate. I was saying old content is shit and the people nostalgic for it are shit.
>>43890365
It's more like "Your tastes are petty and narrow and we as a community shouldn't be beholden to your whims."
>>43890365
>you're delusional if you think we need less of anything and more of anything else just because you personally like it.
Becomes translated as
>All content is good
Are you blind?
>>43890318
>h-hey I like when everything sucks
Good for you, some people don't want "what sucks the least", so maybe you can stop trying to push your views and just make a CYOA.for yourself and those that think like you
>>43890385
You were being sarcastic? Be careful with that, because we have someone bandying that exact opinion you posted every other thread.
>>43890398
Yes that was sarcasm! Half of a CYOAs options being unchoosable is objectively a bad thing. Even oldfags don't want useless options. I didn't think this was fucking controversial.
>>43890439
>Even oldfags don't want useless options
Dude, the guy always says that every option should fuck you over because it's 'thought provoking'. There really are people who think that way.
>>43890391
I pointed out something objectively wrong with that CYOA (namely, that half of the options are simply not options). You then jumped in with "MUH SUBJECTIVE TASTES". I can only assume that you believe there is no such thing as a bad CYOA if you're going to defend the indefensible.

Your sarcasm wasn't transparent at all you fucking retarded faggot (specially considering this is the fucking internet and there are no written tonalities on the english language). And yes there are people who say exactly what you said, but seriously.
>>43890471
There's a difference between "every option should fuck you in a different way" and "every option should fuck you in exactly the same way." The former still has a degree of choice that some (badwrong) people like, the latter is just objective bad design.
>>43890487

>>43890471
There's a difference between every option should fuck you (but they might each fuck you in a different way, in which case there's a point to the choice between them, which is thought provoking) and every option is the same (which is retarded, much like you).
>>43890612
>figure of speech
>>43890638
That one still fucks you in different ways, you get to choose the one way you - don't - want to be fucked and get a bonus.
You're just being a defensive cunt now, please get the fuck out.
>>43890638
I think it's pretty clear a good number of people think your opinion is horrible by this point, so there's really not much point in butting heads with a braindead person like you. I'd get brain damage long before you ever had a thought.
Wow! It took a whole 200 posts before this argument came up again! Must be a new record.

You're right! I should start arguing and shit the place up even more! Wonderful idea, friend.
>>43890684
Funny thing is as far as I can tell they're not even arguing over old vs new. It's newfag-who-stupidly-used-sarcasm-on-the-internet vs newfag-who-got-butthurt-he-didn't-understand-the-joke.
>>43890765
You're not too perceptive if you think it was only two people.
>>43890797
Or I'm just skimming over the shit while looking for CYOAs or discussion. Speaking of, I should add some of that in an attempt to salvage this shit thread.
>>43890876
>Argument for maybe 20 of 226 posts
>Whole thread is shit
Gotta work on that emotional sensitivity anon.
Honestly, CYOAs with a "cursed by not choosing" mechanic are generally terrible and only tolerable when the curses come by degrees like the genie one, which still isn't that great.
That /co/ one is truly insufferable, and while I respect others rights to masochism, I'll never comprehend why you would play them.
But the most important thing is, if you don't like the content of the CYOA you should either ignore it or make one that fits your taste, whining is the worst. I realize my own hypocrisy, but when in rome...

>>43889788
Worst opinion
>>43890903
Funny thing is I have the direct opposite problem.
I don't mind masochistic options nor do I mind options that have no drawbacks.
But whenever I do make a build for a cyoa and go for drawbacks I am either decried as a degenerate powergaming min/maxer or get flat out called out for not working at all and just instantly dying because of the drawbacks.
It isn't the masochistic options that is the main problem anon, is the general hatred /cyoag/ has for power fantasies and optimizing gamists. And the general hate for RP because it only leads to circlejerking and magical realming, and the general hate for RYOAs because people will roll until they get the results they want not playing the cards they are dealt the first time and the general hate for multiplayer cyoas as they only lead to pointless dickwaving competitions.
Which means the only cyoas that get any sort of positive discussion are waifu/companion based ones and /cyoag/ is a positive feedback for waifus as the general way waifu discussions and builds lend themselves well into personal and intimate narratives that are not based on exploiting rules, outdicking other anons or autistic masterplans to win at everything forever. It always manages to surface to the top of popularity due to being the only stomachable content on this thread.
>>43887422
Nah there's nothing wrong with randomised elements. Shitposting about Super Mario doesn't make Super Mario the problem, it makes people with poor conduct the problem.

"Cursed for not choosing" is a fundamentally stupid idea indicative of the same absurd mentality that's led some people to think they're doing anything meaningful by proudly declaring that they aren't going to participate in a game. Nobody's forcing you to play in a fucking choice game. The option to not choose, which is to say, not to play the game in the first place, is built not into the medium but into the delivery method itself. Adding a penalty for not choosing is meaningless because someone who's decided not to play the game is, by definition, not going to pay it any attention. You can create a difficult scenario by placing an "all choices are bad' kind of situation in front of the player but even in that case, you're dependent on their willingness to confront that scenario (presumably because they're looking for a mental or emotional challenge).

I'm working on one where I tell people to use physical dice or random.org if they don't have them. Probably going to include a bullshit "cthulu eats your soul" penalty for rolling in the thread. Wish more people would do that.(Of course, by "I'm working on", I mean "I have the CYOA started and I do it when I don't want to work on the other three I have at higher priority", so expect it sometime in the next 5 years)
>>43891323
Arguing is never the issue. It's shitflinging that's the problem. The same hypersensitive babies that start taking different opinions as a personal affront and aim to shut down discussions or start shitposting, are the same people who whine because there's any argument at all.
The solution is More Argument, Less Waaaah Fuck Off I Don't Want To Argue.
>>43891323
God, it's people like you that's the problem. Looking down on everything from high up on your horse as you add shit to the massive pile below. Why do you guys always argue about the arguers arguing about the arguers arguing about the..the.. Uh.
