Well, it's not like any Worm CYOA has ever been anything remotely close to balanced. Why start now?

Holy shit, so OP it's not even funny. Who even needs real powers? Take that and become member of cauldron, flawless victory. That being said I don't really know what worm is, aside from apparently some sort of book due to "The Book". Still made a build though. Is it worth reading?

Yeah, it is pretty dumb, when Earth Bet is already a place that needs saving. It's not like we're going "oh, if only there were people in danger for us to rescue". They're already there, you're spoiled for choice when it comes to saving people. Three quarters of the world's parahumans are villains! Africa is ruled by bloodthirsty warlords even worse than the bloodthirsty warlords in our world! China is kidnapping and brainwashing their own superhuman army! Every three months a giant monster appears, destroys a city, and kills most of the defenders! In a couple of years an alien god-beast is going to kill every human in every timeline! People are going to need rescuing no matter what background you choose.
>>47031299
Shard administration, friendo. It beast the crap out of PTV, because you can give yourself that and more.
And yeah, the birdcage is a prison. Not a fun one, either, but PTV will get you out nice and quick. Or black hole powers, or whatever. All of which are available with shard administration.
Also, I'm guessing that Wanted is intended to refer to more specific factions like Azn Bad Boys or Empire Eighty-Eight.
Finally, yes. Worm is indeed worth reading.

>>47031025
Very true, but at least they were unbalanced in a very specific way. It was easy to understand what the intended limitations were to your powers.
This is just...lazy.
Worse than lazy, really.

Cauldron actually already has someone with Path To Victory. Though hers is a lot worse, it's been limited so that it can't affect the biggest threats in the setting. Which is actually a good thing, they know how useful PtV could be without those limitations, you're exactly what they want most in the universe. So you coming along with your unlimited PtV would get them moving heaven and earth to help you, even before you used it to manipulate them.
>>47031625
I've actually read a fanfic with that premise. It was pretty funny.
>>47031428
What if my task is to obtain more powers, is that a thing? Also you're right, might as well take that if it's not got a cap but that's essentially the omnipotence option unless it's somehow limited, which made me think it probably was somehow. I don't know, the wording makes it seem the same really.
>>47031600
Scion's seems to be the big bad? What if my task is to make him and his friends into my bitches?
>>47031671
seriously?
My idea was stolen by a fanfic?
Before I even had the idea?
God damn it.
>>47030680
Yea, sure. Sure that waifu cyoa over there is kind of stupid. And that paint one? Naieve joy at best. But more? Delve deeper?
What of the works of Bliss and Beri? The stories wrought by overlord? The Joys brought by Spess Refuge? The conflicts broiled by Stardust? And what for looming above these works of beauty? This titan called Aliceanon, who wrought with his form an autism greater then any seen before, consolidating waifuism into science, and there sits Highlander, toiling into the night. Aye, perhaps at a backward glance, one might say such, but such the same might be said of any form, and only a fool would disregard a medium.
>>47031594
I'll do you one better.
True or false is essentially a more cumbersome Path to Victory for 2 points.
Copycat can get you ANY power for 2 points. Just leverage your meta knowledge with Cauldron to get Glaistig Uaine's brain in a life support jar. Bam, baddest mofo alive.
>>47031717
>What if my task is to obtain more powers, is that a thing?
That might work. There's no way with human tools (or any Entity tools given out through Tinker shards) to manipulate shards like that. But with an unlimited Path to Victory, maybe it would be possible for you to develop the tools you'd need.
>Scion's seems to be the big bad? What if my task is to make him and his friends into my bitches?
Oh, that you can definitely do. Someone with Path to Victory managed to kill Scion's wife (equally as powerful as him) with just a knife by precognitiviely guiding herself to exactly the right point in space and time where Eden would be vulnerable to conventional attacks.

>>47031717
Don't think you'd be able to get more powers without either shard admin or a moderately liberal interpretation of summoning. Regarding scion, yeah, you could totally do that.
>>47031771
While certainly broken, I don't think that really compares with the that crusty sock of win everything forever that another anon brought up as a possibility with summoning. Particularly given that copycat is limited to canon powers.
>>47031771
Not quite. Path to Victory also guides you through your actions, remember? True of False would give you all the same information on the proper steps to take that you could get with PtV, but it wouldn't give you the "I complete all these steps perfectly" trait that makes Contessa a walking plot device.
>>47031861
The crusty sock thing is just a twatish way of breaking things. It's obviously not the way the author intended the option to work.
What irks me is that more reasonable alternatives are left open as well.
Can I conjure tinker tech?
Do I have to understand the inner workings of something or can I just snap my fingers and shout Shazam?
Can I create life?
Can I just conjure up a black hole?
and so on and so forth.
>>47031600
I like Mountain, X-Ray Vision, Summoning, and Omnicombustion. It's not as pithy, but it's pretty hilarious.
>>47032073
Fair on all counts. Is it possible that the "change how powers work" clause on shard admin was meant to be somewhat limited as well? Maybe requiring at least some similarity to the original?
>>47031931
Figure out a plan for whatever it is you're trying to do via obvious means.
Can this plan work with me executing it? y/n
Will there be occurrences requiring the plan to change? y/n
Will this plan work if I begin putting it into effect as soon as the clock strikes 12? y/n
etc.
You can account for your capabilities with your questions and navigate things toward victory.
Again, just a more cumbersome PtV for 2 points.
>>47032162
Probably only works based around the purpose of the actual shard. You could change how Administrator manifests, but you couldn't make it into Sting.
>>47032100
Don't need X-ray vision.
Omnicombustion just sets them on fire, it doesn't say they burn forever or even that they are consumed in the process.
He can still just fly away, robbing you of your entertainment.
What you wanna do first, is take Schrodinger and Mountain. You can thus not move while moving - instant Siberian.
>>47032162
Yes, obviously it wasn't meant as an automatic I win everything forever button. Nothing ever is.
>>47032187
I get it, I just think it's too cumbersome for some of the feats that Path to Victory can do. You can account for your capabilities, Path to Victory can transcend them. It's also a lot faster to adjust to changes. In a competition between you and someone with PtV, you'll lose every time.
>>47032311
>Nothing ever is
You say this when the original worm CYOA exists, and contains kaleidoscope. Unless that power was some sort of truly horrific miscalculation.
>>47032311
Don't forget to take Transcendental Meditation as well, and just sleep/sleep/wreck face.
>>47032311
X-Ray vision is to burn them from the inside out. Summoning is to keep them from escaping. Just teleport them back every time they move from in front of you, until they're charcoal.
>>47032407
Well, yes, obviously. PtV is slightly superior. However, consider the fact that if you take the Abaddon shard option, you are probably a blind spot for Contessa, where she probably isn't for you.
All I'm saying is, the option is ridiculously overpowered for how little it costs.
And frankly, I steer clear of PtV in every Worm cyoa I do. It just makes things boring if you literally KNOW for a fact you can do anything.

The Book
Could someone tell me about my power? I don't entirely understand it.
Should I read Worm? I like these CYOAs a lot.
>>47033403
I kek'd way too hard at this...
>>47033502
worm sucks
>>47033502
Well, Worm is kinda bonkers, and there are parts that don't really make as much sense, but it's a really interesting setting. The characters are interesting and (in my opinion) well-written, though whether they're likeable varies heavily based on the reader. The biggest draw, however, is the widely varied, interesting, and creative superpowers, and the well-written fight scenes involving them. If any of what I said sounds interesting to you, and you don't mind a bit of a bleak, darker superhero (supervillain?) story, I'd recommend it.
>>47033502
I would at least give it a try, read the first few chapters and see if it grabs you.
>>47033502
I liked it
But I wouldn't say it's "Good"
>>47033502
>>47033577
>>47033578
Honestly? Barring the first 3 chapters which to be fair, were setups, the start of Worm's pretty damn good, especially since the author was apparently still in school when he started writing. But it goes downhill for the latter half. I'd say it jumped the shark with the Leviathan arc. That's not to say it was a sudden vertical drop in quality. But it goes in general decline from there onwards.
Is Worm worth reading? Totally. Should you stop once you reach Leviathan? In theory, maybe. But in practice, you'll probably enjoy the beginning enough to keep reading on, and it's not like there aren't good parts after Leviathan.
I'm gonna try to make a CYOA about getting a harem.
Not entirely sure how it can make sense, but my dick wants it.
>>47033744
Have us go on quests to obtain harem members
>>47033617
I would say, read the first few chapters after chapter 3. Since the first 3 chapters are pretty mundane and a little bit dull. They're necessary to set the tone/story though.
>>47033744
>harem CYOA
Each potential member has prereqs, wether equipment needed for a quest, a certain trait to make a match, social status to satisfy classist society, whatever. Spend points to optimize harem to player-chosen criteria.
Alternatively, pick x broads, fuck like rabbits. Whatever appeals to your interests and skills.
>>47033502
I don't believe that power appeared in Worm. Sounds like it's just an extreme form of gravity manipulation, but you can only control the gravity exerted by your own mass.
A god gave you super powers and a subconscious desire for conflict. It wants you to evolve the power before it eats every multi-dimensional version of Earth because the god itself has hit an evolutionary plateau.
Somehow you can communicate with the godly fragment placed in you (I actually can't think of this happening in Worm).
Your power was supposed to be deliberately limited to make sure you could never harm the god, but I guess something broke.
The birdcage is a prison for the worst supervillains. You can't escape and your cell mates are super powered murderers.
An Endbringer shows up every few months to destroy a city. Basically Kaiju, but not as large and way more powerfuland intelligent.
You're considered dangerous enough to be kill-on-sight by the official government superhero organization.
The slaughterhouse nine are a villain organization maybe one step below an endbringer in danger level. They wander around from city to city murdering and destroying, and no one is strong enough to stop them. They do have high turnover, however, and they recruit frequently. Their recruits are generally unwilling people who are mentally broken and manipulated into becoming fodder for the core members.
>>47033737
the Echidna arc was too much after what should have been a climax, and I would suggest there was a vertical drop whenskitter joined the prt. But I liked the rise of the undersiders, which largely occurred during the period you think the work was in decline.

The whole black hole thing is pretty powerful sounding, but you've basically signed up to fight everybody in the wormverse. I think by the time the S9 gets to you, you'll probably be dead.
>>47034177
Leviathan is the one that's thirty feet, and Simurgh is half his size at fifteen. Behemoth is forty-five feet tall.
But yeah, all still pretty small as far as Kaiju go. But way, WAY stronger. And smarter.
>>47034501
Really? I would swear Behemoth was 30ft.
But still, that's the biggest one at about 5-stories tall.
Most Kaiju are 10+

Master's Legacy (becasue having a massive pile of debt I'll need years upon years to pay of changes absolutely nothing for me. Just another zero or two)
Helpers:
Tristy, Phendra, Caralynn, Frei
Items
Solid Skull, T powder
And Most of that is the selfish immortality combo. I'd be stuck as a goo-blob for a bit after taking Tristy's potion (How long do slimelings take to mature anyways?) But with phendra's abilities, the solid skull and the t. powder, I'd be able to undo pretty much all of the drawbacks of becoming a slime. So with literally all the time in the world to pay off those debts taking master's legacy as a location is no problem.
Actually, better yet.. Just use tristy's research and get some billionare who's willing to drop 100 million or so on becoming an immortal slime. Debt solved. Instantly.
And Caralynn just seems like one of the most helpful helpers for actually doing the damn job. So it's not an entirely selfish build. Or alternately I could possibly swap her for bruce since he seems helpful for heavy tasks and I get to add super-strength to my selfish traits list.

>>47036419
Okay, to expand on this. For me, Leviathan wasn't a great arc because it simply because it didn't feel as well planned out or written as previous chapters. I understand the author was literally rolling dice to see who would survive though, but that's not necessarily a good thing in storytelling. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the whole thing was bad. There were plenty of good parts too. And the hospital scene is probably one of the things we think about when we think "Worm".
I think Slaugtherhouse 9 came after that? That was a groan fest, I'm sorry. It was Edgy McEdgy Sr. & Sons. If I was still a mid-teen, I might have found it cool, but now it's just embarrassing. Like Chuuni-shame.
Rise of the Undersiders and Coil came next? That was pretty good. And in-between, we had all those really neat looks at all the other characters in the Worm-verse. Which culminated in Echidna.
The Outing was nice, and that's followed by Weaver, which had potential but felt rather lackluster. After that, she basically became Batgod. We had the terrible Slaughterhouse 9000 and finally, Golden Shower, which consisted of an almost entirely superfluous side mission culminating in an unrelated emergence of Khepri.
So I'm not saying it was a straight decline. It had ups and downs but the trend downward started with Leviathan for me. Or maybe S9.
>>47036583
Crap. Accidentally saved the first two pages without the gray filter on in the background. Whatever, I can't be bothered right now.
>>47036633
You still haven't bothered to explain if you still get a kaifu if you go for sex change or not.
>>47036685
gender swap, whatever. You aren't a handler at that point, but Gender Swap is selected AFTER the Kaifu choice, and it doesn't state that one invalidates the other.
>>47036685
If you mean the one that comes with turning you into a kaiju, he said you don't unless you take exemplary qualifications.
>>47036705
>>47036704
>>47036685
What he said. Gender swap invalidates your choice unless you pick exemplary qualifications and you live with that girl and possibly your new handler.
>>47036609
Nah. I'm definitely not doing anymore girls any time soon, and even if I did, I don't think I'm going to add her for the same reason I'm not adding Poland.

>>47036757
He said it in the previous thread. He doesn't know enough about those countries' stereotypes (though I got to say, the picture in the last thread was pretty much Israeli Stereotype: The .png).

>>47036932
It's an excellent pic, it's an incredible font of jokes (and let's not all be suddenly tolerant in here, every other character was a roaring, sometimes offensive stereotype), and it actually makes more sense than a great deal of the countries who were added (what with it being a highly technological military superpower, whilst Chile and Egypt's militaries are barely functional jokes and Iceland LITERALLY DOESN'T HAVE one)

At the outset I chose the Rogue Kaiju because it's personal. Anyone who can betray and murder someone right after convincing that person to jain and help them at great personal risk needs to be taken down hard. Thanks to the... shared... mutation though things will probably not be going exactly as I had intended. Maybe my handler can help?
Outside of that particular conflict I'm still a little girl with an insatiable libido and if my handler had exemplary qualifications this would be the premise for one hell of a harem anime but I just don't want to share.

Let it rest, y'all. If he was interested in which countries would "realistically" be part of this three fourths of the list would be replaced with just "India" and "Pakistan". Yes, you'd probably get your Israel, but you'll lose Ireland, Scotland, Italy, Chile, Iceland, etc.
And you still wouldn't get Poland.
>>47036969

But then, that's not really a loss, isn't it?
>>47036914
Would hanako. She seems adorable and I'm way too hands off to pry, so that defuses that.
Maybe shizune. Already fluent in Sign, so learning her's would be cake. Only thing, crazy family is a huge scary factor. Yakuza and sociopaths? Hmm, my heart says I can handle it! But my brain says WHAT NIGGER?! ARE YOU INSANE?! DO YOU REMEMBER HOW THESE PEOPLE OPERATE?!
Hmm.

Some Jap with an IDF fetish, most likely.

>>47036992
According to our lord and savior reverse image search that's a character from some obscure Gakuen Taisen Valkyries doujin. She really is named "Sabra Greengold". Not sure why anyone's surprised, the Japanese are notorious for not having any idea what foreigners are called and naming foreigner manga characters after the first funny sounding word that comes to their minds.
>>47037027
This sounds cool.

>>47036992
>>47037034
>>47037048
On a funny sidenote, while I couldn't find any doujin pages actually featuring her, the Danbooru wiki (which has like one and a half lines on her) mentions that she's "often called human scum". So very Israeli indeed.
>>47036914
I just want to say this CYOA is what motivated me to actually play the game, for Hanako of course.
>>47036992
Err, the right side of the bra has the insignia of the IDF paratrooper corps, but the left side has the insignia of Shayetet 13. What unit is she from?
>>47037066
Ah.
>Well of course I'd still go for that, as if there were any doubt.
>>47036914
I like this. Especially since them being handicapped implies they're pure.
>>47037130
Did you even read Emi?
>>47037118
The beret seems to imply paratroopers, but IIRC Shayetet 13 don't have a dress uniform due to some bizarre historical ruling, so she could be from there and having just worn the beret because it's stylish. Generally speaking, the higher trained is a unit in the IDF the less of a shit they give about the regulations and the more likely they're to dress up like clowns for shit and giggles. I heard about a Yahalom officer who walked around base with a samurai sword.
>>47037149
What's Shayetet 13?
>>47037165
Israeli Navy SEALs. They're supposed to be ultra hardcore, but their reputation took a giant blow after the fuckup in May 2010, and since 99% of the shit they do is classified UNLESS they fuck up, they still haven't found a real way of repairing it. It's hard to be impressive when all you're allowed to say about your own accomplishment is "they're super impressive, trust me."
>>47037149
>I heard about a Yahalom officer who walked around base with a samurai sword.
I thought Jews feared the samurai
>>47037185
I don't think Jews have ever had much relations with the samurai. The entirety of Japan has like a 1,000 of them, and they've only started arriving there like a hundred years ago (unless you buy into the theory that the Japanese have interacted with Jewish Dutch merchants before, or you're one of the nutcases who think the Yamato are a lost tribe of Israel).
>>47030741

>>47037224
I think he's joking about the weird things that one Japanese supremacist used to say.
>>47037224
I've seen like five confirmed Jewish characters in manga, ever, one was Spike Spiegel, and two of them were from sex doujins. At least they know how to make them (there was also another suspiciously Jewish character in a sex doujin but I think the English translation inadvertently made her moreso than originally intended, since she uses Yiddish phrases which I seriously doubt were in the original Japanese).

Working with Cauldron means manpower and resources; negates 'We Know' because I'm an asset whose goals align with theirs. Partnering/powercopying Iscariot and others in the Cauldron think(er)tank means good prep and planning, even better since 'Blind spot' negates opposition precog fuckery.
Hopefully I'll survive being Wanted; with luck, events should be staggered. ABB only has 3 parahumans and is no threat without them, Merchants get wiped out by S9, last two won't exist til E88's dissolution after the first Endbringer attack.
>>47037505
Powers are meant to work with a team; (Cauldron parahuman teams or Faultline's crew); Power Hub + Presence = environmental awareness while acting as the control tower of my team. Quality assurance means no equipment failure, even better if I have a tinker with me. (Flying brick kamikaze iron man automatons while we stay back out of the fray, why not?)
The immense utility of being able to exist in multiple quantum states simultaneously allows for far more than Mountain bullshit shenanigans, especially when combined with the ability to use other powers outside of combat. Having a bad rep and/or a kill order on me is unfortunate, but my personal identity won't be revealed; I am neither an Endbringer target nor a S9 recruit (or even a trouble magnet) which means that if things to get too hot, I can lay low or get out with no real repercussions.

The English scnalation of Ookii Onnanoko wa Daisuki Desu ka? had a character named Julia Mackenzie say "l'chaim" before toasting to drink (which is a Jewish custom), but given her surname that was probably more of a joke on how the Japanese just have one, single, blonde "foreigner" stereotype to cover everyone who isn't them or the Chinese.
>>47037527
>"l'chaim"
How do you pronounce that? It sounds like the name of an Old God.
>>47037511
Depending on how many "you's" Schrodinger gives you, all you really need is that and Copycat.
Stand right next to a powerful parahuman;
Quantum lock version of yourself as "right next to said parahuman"
Rinse and repeat until you have all the powers at full strength.
Alternatively, you could just quantum lock a version of yourself as "right next to Glaistig Uaine" and start murdering people, but that just sounds unnecessarily cruel.
There's a great deal of synergy to be had with Schrodinger. Taking it with Holding Back, essentially turns you into One Punch Man, as you could have all but one instance of yourself powering up constantly.

I like that film. It's one of the few famous works that show Jewish life in Eastern Europe. Everyone is so fixated on the Western European banker Jews they forget that throughout the past thousand years or so the vast majority of Jews, living east of Germany, were pretty much "the suspciously literate coal miners who get raped by cossacks every Thursday".
The 4th Worm cyoa was mentioned earlier, does anyone have that one? If it's the one I'm thinking of that one's my favorite.
>>47037638
yeah it doesn't really seem like a 5 point power with how good it is but I wanted to put together a decent build without just using a bullshit abstract "well idk how but Tinker engineering/PtV/Shard fuckery will solve all the problems somehow because of their description"
I just assumed I could only maintain 2-3 quantum states, if only to keep within the spirit of the CYOA.and i wanted an excuse to copy coil's power multiple times with cauldron's full backing and a creepy waifu
I don't think this is one of the better Worm CYOAs (the companions are probably the worst yet) but the wide variety of sorta shit seeming lower tier powers seems to encourage weird combinations to bring them up to par, if you look beyond the 7-20 point automatic "I win" powers
I'll probably have another go without using Shroedinger as the lynchpin later

Here's what I'm going to do, playing my own "game mode" for this. I'm going to take gender swap, roll 3 random mutations for myself, then Rogue Kaiju with her 3 random mutations, then I'm going to take Exemplary Qualifications, roll 3 more random mutations for the kaiju I've chosen and then pick 2 enhancements to round out the build.
So I've got
10, 7, 7(reroll), 1
Skin Shedding
Hormone Imbalance
Muscle Enhancement
My rival has
1, 9, 3
Muscle Enhancement
Size Swap
Tongue Mutation
Two musclegirls already, lets take Ivanka Kotov for my Ally, see what she gets
11, 6, 9
Erectile Malfunction
Special Fluids
Size Swap
I probably should have seen that coming. At least no one ended up with fertility or this would have been really awkward.
Going to try and salvage this with Armor and Armory so at least Ivanka gets something to wear and fight with. Considering my rival's saliva we should probably get a kaiju-sized chastity belt in here so we can at least keep Ivanka from turning on the easier hole.
>>47036914

Here's another one.
Schrodinger + Mountain + Charge Forward
Assume Mountain gives you some sort of "immovable object" state or it's useless. A healthy shove nullifies it.
Assume Mountain essentially gives you the sheer inertia of a mountain. You're invulnerable to most things, but Siberian/Flechette/Clockblocker level shenanigans fucks you.
Largest mountain on Earth is Mauna Loa in Hawaii, with an approximate weight of 240 trillion tonnes.
Moving at Mach 1, that's about 1.071e21 joules of energy, roughly equivalent to 250 gigatons of TNT.
The current estimated global nuclear arsenal is about 7 gigatons.
>>47037915

>>47037915

One more - Animate Constructs + Quality Assurance.
Depending on the inherent strength of the constructs, could go up against an Endbringer with little problem.
Even if they're somewhat weak, snake/octopus/whatever constructs could still immobilize effectively.

Grindylow is best girl, no question, and o think that together, the two of us can help get Ragnarok out of her shell and into a much happier place. After that, well, they're going to be a frightening team. Not only are they super strong and mobile, they can both go invisible, leading to some wonderful flanking techniques. They should be able to take out Big Girl without too much difficulty, and defend the Earth from whatever else comes its way.

The Deck of Cards
Post-Cognition + Unlimited Shard Works comes out to 12 points and is all that's needed to break everything. View the past uses of every power as many times as you want to stock up on everything.
Godslayer just removes plot armor from the Endbringers, I'm guessing. True Sight and Power Sight might allow you to see Strangers, so you can copy their powers too. And just in-case Post-Cognition requires knowing the person's name or face to see their past, The Deck of Cards solves that.
I thought about taking The Candle and returning to regular Earth, but this place is boring.
>What are you planning to do?
Stock up on powers for a day, then work in the shadows, building up companies to meet the needs of a damaged world. I have little need for money besides using it to improve the lives of others - whether that be through charity or investment. Orr funding my killer robot initiative. For peace keeping reasons, of course.
>What is going to happen?
I'm going to punch the first Endbringer who comes after me in the dick. Presumably this is when my identity goes public. After that, I can Iron Man it up, wearing a cape and capturing the worst bad guys. But my priority is still rebuilding the world through innovation and economics.
>How will you change the play on the stage?
I might punch all the Endbringers in the dick. Who knows? I've never actually read Worm. But if a team of parahumans with limited powers can successfully defend a city from a plot armored Endbringer, surely a parahuman with every power can kill a no plot armored Endbringer? Maybe then humanity can build that space elevator.
Here's something I've been working on. There's still a page or two to go, but I'm throwing it out there to try and get a feel for how the balance is right now.
I want it to be necessary to take a few of the curses if you want a half decent set of gifts, but not to the extent that you're forced to cripple yourself.
As the other pages (location, companions etc) won't draw from the points pool that these first three pages do, I thought I'd post these now, see if anyone fancies doing a build so I can tweak the point values for the final version.
Big WIP sign all over it because I still get PTSD every time I see that version of Skeleton Gangrape with the typo in the viking helmet option posted.

I advise you to put the amount of points before changes.
Other authors: For you, is the hardest part of starting a CYOA the categorization of the choices? I always end up with this huge pile of options that need to be subdivided to be easy to read, but overlap so much they need to be near each other, or need to be in certain orders, or may fall under this or that category...
I feel like I have a whole CYOA in my head right now except for the formatting.

the fresh start option should specify that you retain your personality even though your memories are gone, or there is a 100% chance that someone will start yet another argument over the nature of death, identity, consciousness and selfhood every time you post this
>>47040465
The 'select one from X categories' section seems redundant with a lot of options.
Maybe you could do a hybrid method where you let players pick exactly one of some groups of perks/drawbacks (Memory, basically), up to one from others (Strong/Weak, Hyper/'good'/no empathy, Charm/Unsettling, etc), and as many as you want from others (misc. powers just sorta grouped together)
>>47036001
"Unreadable" was a bit of an exaggeration but it's certainly not easy on the eyes. It's just small text on a low resolution image and especially the reds blur into the background for me and I really have to squint to read them. All of the text seems to have some artifacting or something too because it's all a bit blurry.
Post a cyoa along with a song that would be that cyoas theme song.
How do you guys feel about this idea?
It's a waifu cyoa featuring priestesses from dead, ancient gods. You have to pick one such priestess who offers to make you the new vessel for her deceased patron. Each god has a set of duties and powers, and after you've made your choice the remaining priestesses look for other vessels until all the gods are reborn on Earth.
So you get a HUUUGE god form, some divine duties and a human high priestess waifu. It's sort of the reverse of what we've been seeing lately.
Interested? Should I make it? Suggestions?

I hope you're ready to make a new version of this when 7th Sea 2nd Ed. comes out. There's whatever the magic of the Sarmatian Commonwealth would be, and the Ussuran magic type seems to have changed to weather based instead of shapeshifting.
You were completely spot on on the Eisen type, though. It really is going to be necromancy (though it has a far less snazzy name than you've given it. Some crazy long word starting with "Toten" with a lot of dots and lines over the letters).

You're just taunting us. Why bother adding lvl 3 Sorcery when we need to literally lose a leg to use it?

Nope, the worst part for me is definitely image hunting. Writing, formatting, and decorating are all much quicker and easier. Typically, I prefer the style with few types of choices, but when there are many categories, I find it best to just present them in the order of least-base-knowledge-required first. It is better to have later options expand upon details of the earlier ones than to have earlier options describe the later ones
WIP, comments appreciated. Note that this is NOT a Worm CYOA. So there's no Manton Effect, no Shards, nada. Think of it more as a generic Superpowers CYOA.

I like it. I expect at least one delicious brown Egyptian option. Maybe more. Imagine

Because you get immortality in return. Don't you want immortality?
It's an ass old CYOA. I think it's from like 2013 or so. CYOA writers back then were hardasses.

Chandelure - One of my favourite mons, with the benefit of being a kuudere
Gardevoir - One of my favourite mons, with the benefit of being ojoudere (fuck off its totally a thing)
Ampharos - Typing compliments my other two, and dat /ss/ is too good to pass up
>Rival
Red - I want a challenge
>Allies
Rocket Grunt - Literally the most helpful option for an officer
Blue - I assume she'd be a bro like in the manga
Ibuki - Seems pretty bro
If I can fill out the rest of my team iver time, then I pick Beedril, Quilava, and Flygon.

Sounds like fun. If you're not doing an invented pantheon, though, please do a lot of different pantheons rather than focusing on one. I'd love to see an African, Babylonian, or Canaanite God, rather than three Greek or Norse deities.
>>47040848
>For you, is the hardest part of starting a CYOA the categorization of the choices?
no.
The hardest would be ensuring there are enough options - if I agree on X options per row, I need to make sure there are 1/2*X options per category.
Second hardest is ensuring there's about as many lines per option.
Third is finding images.
>>47041237
Every time I see people pick both Gardevoir and Ampharos I can't help but feel like it'd lead to complications. Not necessarily a bad thing, I suppose.
For maximum bad luck harem protag, take Gardevoir, Ampharos, and Mightyena.
>>47041075
>Interested?
Somewhat.
>Should I make it?
Since no one else will, yes.
>Suggestions?
Either make it extremely clear that there won't be conflict between said gods or their followers, or that the gods are all part of one pantheon with the one that gets reborn first as the head/main god, or make it so all the priestesses banded together to properly bring back _one_ of their gods, or that instead of seeking out vessels they simply mold them out of excess belief once you're powerful enough.
Otherwise you'll most likely end up with bickering between people who chose different gods, because implied forced PvP.
>>47041075
>Interested? Should I make it?
Yes, of course.
>Suggestions?
Include gods from all the popular and well know mythologies, then if you want to add more try searching for someone interesting from some lesser known religion instead of just choosing from one that already has been included. Focus on variety so that each option actually feels different from each other.
>>47041162
>WIP, comments appreciated.
Seems neat, looking forward to the finished version.
>>47041126
it's a fair price to pay for immortality (among other things). it's just a matter of trading one valuable thing for another. lots of people IRL have to use wheelchairs and don't get magic in return.
if you're okay with the NEET life, take glamour 3 + lameness, and then spend the rest of your immortality chilling in your abode. losing your legs doesn't mean much if you never leave the house.
or just wait - we'll probably have exoskeletons with 40 years that can move you around, even if your legs don't work. you're immortal so it's no big deal. if anything the CYOA is going easy on you with that option. it's a much harder choice if you remove that, but i would still take deafness if it meant living forever with magic powers.
>>47041366
Thanks.
>>47041274
Oh yeah the multiples of X problem. I forgot about that. The "same amount of text per choice" sucks too, I envy the people who are OK with making their things in paint with options all over the place. Legitimately envious.
Finding images is time consuming but I wouldn't say it's hard.

Dropped.
>>47041075
Sounds great.
When you say 'dead gods', do you mean gods from dead religions, or gods that die in their mythology?
>>47041075
How hard will it be to make a harem of weak-bitch gods?
I mean, there's gonna be at least one God of Love and one of Creativity.
I'm gonna fuck them with my God of Thunder-cock.
>>47041075
"vessel" is a dangerous term. Is the god-mind living in your head with you? Does it just take over, essentially "killing" you? Does it just mean that you get cool powers & responsibilities with no mental change? Depending on which of those is the case, it could be a(n) (un)successful CYOA. As a rule of thumb, steer clear of anything that hints at mental death.

The rest of that is much more interesting than that one line. What kind of terrible state is the world in where dead eldritch gods have to throw in "girl who will love you forever" on top of "MAGIC FUCK-OFF POWERS" to get a guy to act in their name? Is the general populace so dulled to the fantastical nature of it all that they'll literally only agree to a deal if they get companionship thrown in? And even if the gods are dead, if they're able to be reborn in a mortal body they should be able to communicate with you by themselves.
What I'm saying is that I'd prefer a CYOA where the focus was
>Here's the god/goddess, here's what they're like, here's what your powers will do, and here's what they'd like/not like you to do.
instead of
>Here's this girl, here's the name of her patron, here's her personality, here's what she thinks her patron wants, and here's how much/little she cares about you in comparison to her patron.
Now if you'll excuse me I should get back to expanding on an idea for a CYOA that appears to have been dropped or postponed by its original author, as I haven't seen anything for about 2 months.

>What kind of terrible state is the world in where dead eldritch gods have to throw in "girl who will love you forever"
I think Cthulu is a massive bro, giving me a free loyal slut AND insane magical powers.I had a plan for a CYOA about becoming a God in a pantheon, and also getting a Goddess waifu - focus being you could get anyone of them no matter which power you took.
Never went anywhere with it, anon said I should do the other CYOA I suggested.
>>47041484
>they should be able to communicate with you by themselves.
This sounds way cooler senpai. Like some kind of godly mentor spirit.
You could have some gods trying to get you to abuse your powers while other gods want you to do justice, and some gods might want you to help reform their religion.
Tell me /cyoag/ what cyoa are you excited for?
What type of cyoa would like to see more often; waifus, urban fantasy, Mecha?
>>47041534
You got yourself a unique idea. Now all you gotta do is write it out.
