Let's talk about superhero cyoas. Which powerset would you have if you could copy an established fictional superhero's exact powerset right now, within reason so omnipotent squirrel shits? Which powerset would you absolutely not want to see in a superhero cyoa because it triggers your autism, example being mind control?
>>48328197
well... is it?
>>48328401
*no omnipotent squirrels.
>>48328094
And so, a new, strong meme was born.
>>48328404
It could be if you're not a redditor.
I kinda liked it so I stole it. Now it's mine.
Been away for a couple of days but I remember seeing something about how Royal Guardian is getting a sequel? Anyone know how that's coming along?
>>48328401
I don't have an answer on-hand, but my top priority for a personal power (a power I'd possess, instead of a power I'd like to give to a character) is immortality. Not dying comes before anything. Sorry if that's boring!
>>48327415
Thanks; glad you like it.
>>48327448
A bit of both, but more decreased. Civilized Magic is now +5 instead of +10. Balanced magic now has the option to be unlimited, if you have enough enemy races. The effects of Magic of the Enemy are slightly less penalizing for the bad guys in one form. Changed numbers are all in blue, as a note.

>>48328589
But you can still be killed by anything but old age.
>>48328401
I'd probably pick Dr. Strange myself but I'm sure that's not an "optimal" choice.
I wouldn't want to see anything with immortality (as in, unaging), unless it was something that everyone got. It just outweighs too many other things.
>>48328773
That's a semantic point this thread likes to stress. That "immortality" means "not dying of old age." It doesn't necessarily mean that. It means "not being mortal." In the context I used it, I intended to convey "being categorically unable to die." If you happen to know a better way to describe that power, I would appreciate the information.
>>48327740
Reminder that Summoner is the best choice, with Prophet a close second if you want a safe, comfy lottery paid life.
>>48328907
Deathless is a term I've recently been hearing and I personally prefer it over Immortality.
>>48328907
I could be wrong, I'll grant you, but I'm fairly certain there is no established superhero that is "categorically unable to die".
>>48328950
Bloodpool and the Mad titan Thanos is barred from entering death's realm.
>>48328950
That's why I phrased it as a priority, and not a power. I'd have to research into a lot of fiction to see which power came closest to satisfying my need to continue existing.
>>48328950
Mister immortal from marvel
>>48328966
Man, that'd actually be a great one. Piss off Death and have it tell me that it specifically passed a metaphysical edict barring me from ever dying? I'd take it.
>>48328950
Adam Destine and Mister Immortal, the latter's power being literally true immortality.

Mysticism GOAT. Mind control and divination in one package? Sign me the fuck up. Sure, they're probably weak versions, but it only takes a little bit to make the differences you need.
Not sure I want any of these places, might be nicer to stay home and not be obviously magical. I'll take Blackbark I guess, since I don't need to study there all the time to get the benefit and it would be a nice place to have a vacation.
>>48328223
Philosopher's stone will be useful for fiscal reasons and I will probably find some other nice use for it.
Tome of Extra knowledge for summoning. Servant imps are more useful to me than big demons anyway.
Hunger and thirst powers of the vitus ring are cool, but I won't give up my ability to feel pain for it. Goggles have a good power but I ain't about to wear that shit on my face all day. Gauntlet is easily replaced by a tool box. The others are cool but not as good as the ones I picked.
I'll stay independent from factions.
>>48328600
Can i combine master of'motion and map maker? The latter gives the ability to visualize space all around, does it'count as line of sight/places ive been to for teleportation?
Any good CYOAs ofbecoming a cute little girl and hand-holding?
>>48328996
Man, I just looked that one up. That would actually be terrible. He can die, he just "gets better", and is always enraged afterward or messed up due to the pain of dying.
And the implication is that he'll literally be around forever. So, just floating around in the complete entropy of heat death at some point.
Forever.
Yeah, I'll pass, at least on that particular version.
>>48328966
I can't actually find anyone named Bloodpool. Distinct from Deadpool, I take it? Google, why do you fail me.
And Thanos apparently get trapped in a pocked dimension for eternity? That's not the fault of his immortality, I suppose.
>>48329303
>>48328600
>>48328623
Which major/minor magics do you think would most benefit human civilization?
>>48329277
Hmm... clever combo. Yeah, I'll allow it. Things you visualize within your one mile radius of Map Maker will count as "having been there" for purposes of teleporting. Granted, this still means that you'll have to stop and focus between each, but it should still be pretty quick.
>>48329353
Are you asking me, or is that an open question to the thread? I don't want to bias the responses in the latter case.
>>48328197
>Craft: Summoning
I have always loved the idea of being a summoner, from tiny fairies to do my dishes to huge balrogs to cleave my enemies asunder.
>Study Area: Crystal Caves
I was tempted to pick the Infernal Alter to improve myself but in the long run having more mana will probably benefit me more.
>Tome of Extra Knowledge: Vitalism
Some basic healing magic can never hurt.
>Amulet of Mara
This could help me be a better Summoner too, assuming it works on them.
>Faction: Merchant's Guild
I'll make lots of money with magic as is my dream. I'm guessing I'd be hiring out my summons for security or delivery work.
>>48328600
So, any chance of introducing magic that increases physical capabilities to allow for stuff like muscle wizard?
>>48329353
I'm thinking Major Motion, Blessed One and Stormsage. Logistics, healing and ensuring a suitable climate
>>48329330Maybe?
>>48329353
Enchanting + Blessed One lets you create rejuvenating obelisks that heal anyone who touches them, or could even have an healing aura. Enchanting + Stormsage lets you create weather machines which could cover entire cities with perfect weather as needed.
As a single magic I believe Shapeshifting Major is best because by itself could be used to homogenize humanity in skin colour and gender thereby promoting equality. You could literally turn all of humanity into fair-skinned beautiful futas and no one would be discriminated against ever again.
>>48329649
No physical discrimination just means more mental discrimination, or using external markers, like clothing, to enforce status.
Shapeshifting is still a great pick, but Enchanting and Motion are best to me.
>>48329649
>Implying anyone wants to be an abomination.
>>48329694
You say that now, but I'm sure that plenty of people who are discriminated against for the way they look as we speak, would love to become a member of a futa planet where everyone is beautiful and fair-skinned. Then again, I guess being fair-skinned would be a bitch if you live in africa. But I don't want to make the whole world black either...
>>48329649

Directed at you.
You know, I've been thinking about making an add on to this cyoa to include even more powers. What would you guys want to see?
>>48329859
>>48329649
How about we turn humanity into a hivemind? No-one will be discriminated against if we're all the same person! Hell, why not just get rid of humans altogether? That would solve the problem flawlessly!
>>48329649
how about you just get rid of white people since as you and i both obviously believe, white people are the root of all evil that isn't money, and only white people can be racist. :^)
Niggers are black.

>I believe Shapeshifting Major is best because by itself could be used to homogenize humanity in skin colour and gender thereby promoting equality. You could literally turn all of humanity into fair-skinned beautiful futas and no one would be discriminated against ever again.

There is great power stored in the flesh of the others. And with my new power, I can access a portion of it. Most of my time will be spent just trying to fit in in this new world or devouring flesh at a quick rate to stave off mind death. I'm sure I can find a good amount of flesh at my job, maybe a spare part or two. If not, the streets are always open. Eventually, I'll start trying to keep the other Others in check, preventing them from growing too much in power
>>48329982
Everyone would be transformed into the Master Race, you won't even realized you're creating half-breeds until your wife spawns a little pickaninny.

I don't think that was as bad as the last one, so not very long.
>>48329530
Eh; I haven't been able to come up with anything interesting that doesn't overlap/obsolete buying physical perks.
>>48329649
Major Shapeshifting only allows you to use the effects of Minor Shapeshifting on others. Which means cosmetic. You could, I suppose, mainstakingly change their skin color, but it wouldn't change their genes.
To do what you propose, you'd have to give shapeshifting to humans directly (easy), and then get them to voluntarily become homogenous (not... easy).
>>48329854
Assuming you live in a world without great supernatural threats, then I would say the top one might be Major Master of Motion, due to it's ability to eliminate logistical difficulties. But, the problem is that it creates a lot of problems with protection; if you don't control it tightly, people you don't want to have it will be able to teleport into very inconvenient places.
I think the best *minor* magic to give to all of humanity is probably Blessed One, due to its ability to cure disease, wounds and infection without having an destructive application (one of the downsides of giving Stormsage to the general population is that's it's not limited to "nice")
Spirit Singer is the other one I'd be inclined to give to the general population, due to its relative benevolence.
>>48330103

Besides, With Brawn and Demonic Transformation, I can reach 4x peak human strength. That kind of power is nothing to sneeze at.

First page of what I've been working on is done. Full text in variably complete state is here:

Suggestions for any area are appreciated, and especially mysteries and enemies since I'm not great at that. Input regarding aesthetic/layout is also welcome, though I'm afraid this is about the height of my technical ability.
If you see something that's confusing, unclear, or seems unbalanced, please let me know.
Also, not sure if they guy I was talking to last night saw my responses to his questions; they're here:
>>48320414
>>48331020
>http://pastebin.com/zC48ut6s
Question: Is there any downside to loading up on 12 classes? Anons are not ones to let quality of life get in the way of min-maxing, after all.
>>48331020
Not my cup of tea, friend. But looks good.
More CYOAs please.
>>48331124
It's twelve credits of classes, meaning it would be four classes total. I'm going to add more add-on credits to classes when I finalize the details for the first version (which is my next order of business) which will make this matter a bit more. For now, it boils down to "pick either three classes or four classes per year". I'll try to clarify that in the wording.
The downside of taking four is only that you're in class for pretty much the whole day, six days a week. There isn't a mechanical downside, I'm not sure what such a downside would entail or if there even needs to be one.
>>48331229
Cheers, thanks. What keeps it from being to your tastes?
>>48330767

It'll be a while.
Yours looks good too. How do you source your images?

Fair enough. This'll stay fairly solidly in that genre I think, so unfortunately probably will never be for you.

What do you mean by sourced? I just looked around until I found some I liked. Turned out to be a part of a larger set. Here's a link.

Unless you were referring to something else.
>>48331020
Its okay. Could use a lot more options in certain areas.
The class options seem fine however but personally I find the House options to be a bit boring and lacking. Could maybe use some disadvantages.

>The downside of taking four is only that you're in class for pretty much the whole day, six days a week. There isn't a mechanical downside, I'm not sure what such a downside would entail or if there even needs to be one.

I know. I just haven't thought of them yet. I'm open to suggestions, are their specific options you think parts could use?
>I find the House options to be a bit boring and lacking. Could maybe use some disadvantages.
Do you have any in mind?
>a bunch of clubs and social options
I'm having trouble seeing what this would add conceptually that the classes and houses don't already. I know it balances the books mechanically, but it needs to add something to the CYOA from a non-mechanical perspective in order to be worth the complexity, which I don't see a good way to make it do.
>Oh fuck off.
Pretty sure he was just referring to the author disappearing with the CYOA missing a page, presumably having lost motivation due to criticism. I think it's always a shame when we lose someone making things.

Can the anon who made the CYOA remove the mystery box?
>>48331836
If you want something done, do it yourself.
>>48331650
Let me break it down so that you can understand, friend. I'd hate to see another CYOA go unfinished because someone didn't like it.
Love you too, bae <3
>>48331601
I knew it was a revision, I just noticed a lot of similarities with this Japanese light novel. It involves demons who gain powers as they practice their sin, especially their politics. The humor mainly derives from the different demons having vastly different perspectives based on their sin, especially the sloth Demon Lord who loses power just for standing up.
https://yoraikun.wordpress.com/tlk-chapters/
>>48331836
The guy who made the cyoa is probably removed himself.
So that's a no.
>>48331917

>>48331776
>>48331836
It's a disturbing cross between Christian/Judaic devotion, in the whole "god of everything" blather, and extreme blasphemy, in the sense that the god of everything is catering to your fetishes. I'm honestly not sure which of those two bothers me more.
>>48331985
Why should either of those things botched you?
>>48331831

Where do you think you are? This isn't the Young Baptist's Convention.
>>48331736
>Do you have any in mind?
Sorry I meant disadvantage options in general not for the houses but you could add some for them if you wanted to
But in regards to the houses I felt that Rapture's houses gave both a good variety of options plus good descriptions of what each house was like. Each one had personality.
I find the descriptions for both the Fivefold house and The Greeks to be kind of lacking. Regarding the Fivefold what's it like living there. You gave a physical description but didn't say what the everyday life and atmosphere is like. The Greeks like to party okay but wait who are their slaves?
>I'm having trouble seeing what this would add conceptually that the classes and houses don't already. I know it balances the books mechanically, but it needs to add something to the CYOA from a non-mechanical perspective in order to be worth the complexity, which I don't see a good way to make it do.
Flavor mostly.
>>48331901

>>48331650
>>48332047
Rapture is terrible and I'm glad it's dead.
>>48332071
Rapture was pretty bad desu but this rapture-inspired one seems okay to me actually.
>>48331836
You do realize that, even if Italics decided to oblige you, which he wouldn't, it wouldn't matter, right? People would remember enough to post the Mystery Box whenever the CYOA comes up. Just ignore it or not save it.
>>48332017
Honestly, I'm not sure which I'm more annoyed by: the white knights that try to suck her nipples or the people who would rather focus on torturing her when they could ignore her for a more effective result. Everyone involved in this mess is being really retarded.
>>48332089
I haven't read it because I assumed it was the whole 'rape or be raped' thing over again.
>>48332097
>People would remember enough to post the Mystery Box whenever the CYOA comes up
Hell, they're already doing that. Italics changed the Mystery Box to make the goddesses more 'relal', but whoever keeps posting it INTENTIONALLY uses the old Mystery Box instead. Likely just so he can bitch about it.
>>48332029
Don't mistake me; I'm completely without any religious beliefs; blasphemy is a victimless crime.
What I mean is that it is more disturbing in terms of the mindset of the person who would both think it important to make the judeo-christian god the "top" one, but also be okay with involving fetishes with Yahweh. I can't help but ask: who is this person?
>>48332103
Rape appears to be a heavy element, but it's not institutionalized like in Rapture. Like, the staff doesn't exactly care about the rape itself, but they care enough about the PR to stop rape from happening in the dorms and on campus. Also, the rapists aren't the children of the most powerful beings in the multiverse and I assume the player is more powerful given what little I've seen so it honestly looks a good deal more survivable to me. So all in all, it seems a good deal better.
>>48331404
And here is page two. Up next are the companions. Will take some time to find the images. Won't be posted for a while.
>>48332122
>How dare people fetishize God
>>48332071
>>48332089
Fuck you both.
>>48332174
Yeah, I looked it over. As someone who is willing to deal with a CYOA with rape as long as one can actually make a difference in reducing rape within the setting, it seems like one that will definitely be worth a read.
>>48332177
No, no. That's not what I'm saying. I couldn't care less if someone fetishes god. What I'm disturbed by is by imagining someone who holds BOTH of the following beliefs:
1. Yahweh is the most powerful god, better than all the others.
2. Yahweh wants to give me a footjob (and yes, I know that is as mild as fetishes get; consider it a placeholder).
It's actually the first one that bothers me more, but what I was saying was I'm disturbed imagining a person holding both of these ideas in their head at once.
I don't believe in sacredness at all, and don't care if people want to; this has nothing to do with me "defending" a religious idea.
>>48332217
I didn't make any of the posts telling Rapture anon to not post the mystery box or so on, friend. I was just privately happy when we didn't need to have an additional half a dozen shitstorm threads over it.
>>48332175
And for the impatient who want to see all of the new stuff added, here is a pdf version.
>>48332122
>What I mean is that it is more disturbing in terms of the mindset of the person who would both think it important to make the judeo-christian god the "top" one
It sounds like a Christian would make their God the top one.
>Who is this person?
Their name is Italics, a chill cyoa creator.
Does anyone know if slut life anon intended for Android bodies to be immortal? It doesn't say anything about it, nor does it include "Timeless" as one of it's freebies, but for some reason I'm getting the sense that they are indeed immortal...
Is there WOG on this subject?
>>48332316
And if they aren't immortal, what is the point? Is there something special about them, or is it just the most expensive fetish in the entire cyoa?
>>48332269
Look. Abrahmic mythology considers and portrays God to be all powerful and omnipotent. It follows that depictions of him would carry that trait. This is in contrast to almost every other mythology, where the deities have rivals, enemies, siblings, and troubles they're involved in that are equal or greater than them in power, and on top of that typically have a limited sphere (like storms, or the sun) instead of having literally all powers ever like the Abrahmic God.
That's why it only follows that in a CYOA with both God and other deities, God is going to be the strongest. He doesn't even have a limited sphere he can be assigned to, because whatever he was in charge of in the original pantheon before his cult eliminated the worship of all the other gods except his wife (then later on even his wife) has since been completely obscured to the point where scholars can basically only guess "Maybe war or the desert?"
>>48332315
Yes! That's exactly the point. The idea that someone who considers themselves a Christian would have the god they believe holy cater to their fetishes. That's what I consider strange and offputting about it.
It would be like someone who seemed to be Muslim making a CYOA about Mohammed being ass-raped.
It's not a matter of offending me, just baffling me.
>>48332336
Hmm... yes, that likely makes sense. If we assume that the creator didn't actually hold any judeo-christian belief, then it's much less baffling.
>>48332345
>>48332269
Anon here is something Italics literally said: "I make my cyoas for fun and entertainment"
Its for fun and entertainment. Nobody actually knows Italics religion.
>>48328600
There should be a necromancy magic.
>>48332419
...eh. I guess. It's just so, bleh, you know? I mean, it's either useless shit like summoning skeletons, OR, if you want to make it cool you have to give people access to souls, and then you have a bunch of anons handwaving about transplanting their souls into eternal golems. Which, dull.
In truth, I just haven't thought of any decent way to distinguish it as something legitimately useful and yet distinct from, say, Spirit Singer.
If you have any suggestions as to what it might actually *do*, I'm certainly open to hearing them.

There's some for the bloodline stuff, but disadvantages are kind of hard for me. And I'm not sure it would make sense to have a section that's all disadvantage.

Good point. I'll see what I can do there, though it's already the longest blurb, due to being fivefold.

That's the part I'm concerned about it lacking.

It's heavily flawed but had the potential to get a lot better.
>>48332103
I'm trying to keep a balance. So you can get raped and you can rape, if you want, but it's not anywhere near as prevalent as in Rapture and it's more in the context of the school being barbaric and violent; it's a danger to face rather than pure fetish bait.
>>48332122
Being the top dog is one of the key traits of YHWH in his own mythology. All of the gods have their key traits intact.
Hey guys, whats the name of the monster girl cyoa where you pick one to live with you? If I could remember the name I'm sure I could find it.
Had aliens and monsters. Each monster girl had several options and it was fairely long.
>>48332507
Branching Heart? There's a lot of CYOAs like that but Beri's is by far the longest. A link to his drive is in the OP pastebin, it should be there.
No, I won't post it. It's like 25 pages long.
>>48332497
>All of the gods have their key traits intact.
Minus the ones where "eternal virginity" is a key trait, of course!
>>48332539
Oh no, that trait is still present in the CYOA.
It's just that you are going to solve it.
>>48332525
Yes thats it. And yeah I wasn't wanting anyone to post it either, I knew I could find it with the name.

Angel's got a weird hangup with the whole rape thing. She's openly blogged about her abusive relationships and her psycho-sexual disorder (which is strongly associated with women who were sexually abused as children). But discussions about rape where she doesn't feel "in control" of the conversation upset her. Threatening that your CYOA character will rape hers will get a bigger rise out of her than flinging personal insults at her directly.
Speaking of her characters, several of them are revenge fantasies against rapists. A couple characters' primary purpose is to torture and kill rapists in extreme ways. And she almost always goes out of the way to list rapists among the types of criminals her crime fighting characters punish. Even her Super Soldier Angel build (one of her oldest and most posted ones) fights to "liberate women" in her free time. Lots of her characters also have rape in their backgrounds or traded sex for their powers, which she oddly treats as though it's rape. Despite a couple of glaring exceptions, the rape aspect for most of her characters is pretty subtle. But it's there.
I'm going for my Doctorate in Angelology btw. How am I doing?

I will refrain from destroying this world for a few days then.
What program do you guys use to make your CYOA's? Im thinking of making one but all I have is paint, it seems to work but it's a bit awkward to line things up and I have to make the image really big. Is there a maximum image/Filesize for 4chan? I'd hate to spend hours making a CYOA just to find out my OC can't be shared.
>>48332850
I heard you were straight up deleting it and only making it a shitty supplement like the cthulhu tome. Please don't.
>I've trimmed it down and removed the shitter pert,
Such as?
>as well as the Barker-esque elements.
I think I'm fine with that, I don't remember anyone being in it for the bondage demons, just the mummies and scarabs.

GIMP
>>48332811
That's not the face she had in the magical realm forum.Honestly it looks like it was ripped out of a recent game engine. The hair color doesn't even match.
>>48332906
For paint, lining things up has always been a pain.
What I do is I put stuff in boxes (or crop them into uniform sizes) than I place one image right below or next to another so the pixels line up either on the X or Y axis, before I press either down or left/right several times to move it so the pictures line up.
>>48332953
Gimp?
>>48332906
8mb/~10,000px in x/y direction.
PDF has no px limit however.
Additionally, Illustrator has good artboards that work well, allowing for multiple pages to be placed side by side.
>>48332937
>>I've trimmed it down and removed the shitter pert,
>Such as?
Removed most of the curses that didn't really add anything.
>>48332906
Max file size is 8mb
>>48332981
It's an image editing software Does most of what photoshop does but is free, at the price of being a lot more obtuse.
>>48332906
Depends. For your first one, google docs converts to pdfs pretty easily. I haven't made much use of it, but you can align images into tables easily.
It's very low maintenance/expertise, etc.
If putting into an image form is important, for you, though, may not help. I'm sure there is some pdf ==> image utility out there.

Martian Manhunter. He's like Superman +, and the only reason he isn't acknowledge as such is because he jobs so much. Superstrenght, flight, invulnerability, telepathy, invisibility, phasing. And most importantly, shapeshifting. So I can be the little girl. And the amazonian girl. And the thick girl. And the busty girl. And the futa.

Not really clear. I remember most of them being interesting and doing neat things of you planned and had a base.
>>48332953
>>48332981
Yeah, I can second that. GIMP is about as good as a free image program as you can get (barring theft).
>>48332976
What about the text? I'm writing up items rn for a "choose your special items" CYOA. How would you line up a textbox description? By making a separate image with the weapon and text and then putting that in the main image?
>>48332670
>she was sexually abused
>has hang-ups about rape
You don't say.
>>48333009
Curses of hallucination, ageing and enfeeblement, deprivation, pain, suffering, disquiet, chains, as well as the Barker-esque spells.
These did not really fit the necromancy feel and the spells that remain do.
>>48332217
This isn't a fucking hugbox. Yes, new OC is good and all but not everyone is going to love everything. If you can't take criticism and don't even try to communicate or talk with said critics and instead decide to duck out then that shit is on you. It's not even like the CYOA was a horrible thing that everyone hated. Some people liked it. In fact, people made builds for it and still post them. Hell, its not like the people who didn't like hated everything about it. They, and me desu, just wanted the power or hope to stop the rape and make a change to the world at large.
It is a damn shame he didn't post the last page though. Some of those options gave the impression that you could have made things better.
>>48332906
Paint. Paint.NET. Photoshop. GIMP.Adobe Illustrator shill.Personally I've tried most of them and I'm leaning towards Photoshop overall, though I'll give the last option its fair shake too.
The max filesize is 8MB on /tg/ I believe.
>>48333045
All of these changes sound like exactly what the cyoa needed.
>>48333011
>barring theft
Or piracy. Might as well go that route, honestly.
>>48333068
I'm thinking thati could add a secret page where you find a scroll containing them, and can use them. One for the Eremite shit too
>>48333069
That's what I meant.
>>48333045
Do you're removing literally all of them?
What the fuck do they have left then, other than making mummies and having scarabs and sand attack people?
>>48333016
I usually put all the images in place first, then I write text in.
I also make boxes, a box around the image and another box for text, then line the boxes up.
>>48333109
If they're ideas that you like then no reason to not make them little, fully optional choices like that. Just adds more variety for people.
>>48332898
>>48332954
>The hair color doesn't even match.
Well she did say she dyed it. I suspect she did some touching up on the pics and blurred the face to mess with the anons who were demanding a face pic. But she seems to be able to post pics of herself in different outfits and of the minis she poses with on demand, so I find it difficult to argue that it's not her (even if a modified/touched up version of her).
>>48333027
I meant more that she's willing to discuss it openly as long she she's leading the conversation, but if she doesn't feel like she's in control of the discussion then she reacts angrily.
>>48329327
>And the implication is that he'll literally be around forever. So, just floating around in the complete entropy of heat death at some point.
Anyone with true Immortality would suffer that fate. Probably shivering of cold, constantly gasping for breath that never comes, with vessels bursting over and over. Unless you also have protection from vacuum and don't need to breath. Even before that you could find yourself in a barren world inimical to life, with acid rains, superhot days and super cold nights, constantly suffering with hunger and thirst. Even before that the best way an enemy or goverment has to deal with an immortal is to stiick them in a prison hard enough for them to not break, seal it within a ton of concrete and drop it on the Marianas trench. Relatively cheap compared to detaining other superpowers.
True immortality seems like one of the best powers, but unless you have a kill switch, it can be the worst curse to have.
>>48333198
Good job on illustrating exactly how bad that is.
Yeah, with you 100%. Exactly why one of the first things I wrote into Altering History is that you always have the ability to die if you wish to.
>>48333131
It's no longer going to be a stand-alone school of magic, it will require a master school to be chosen.
The change from 5 schools to 4 schools with 1 additional one is something i think brings it in line with both the original and the general consensus.
>>48333171
I definitely think the Barker stuff could be a "more shit that time forgot" kind of thing.
>>48333261
>It's no longer going to be a stand-alone school of magic
This is EXACTLY what I was talking about before, don't do this. Why are you fucking over the orange tome people completely and utterly? Spiting us like this?
What general consensus are you even talking about? Every time I've seen it brought up ever since you announced, this people have been defending the orange tome. Who are you cutting it for?
>>48333198
>>48333242
>not being lord death man
i mean sure you suffer an eternal ammount of boredom, but after sleeping kalpa away, maybe you'd find a new universe full of people, all hail the elder god A-nonA-mous
>>48333198
>True immortality
The thing about true immortality is before the heat death of the universe occurs what is stopping that immortal from somehow learning to ascend to a higher plane of existance or another universe.
They got over a billion fucking years.
>>48333322
>assuming there is a higher plane of existence
heh
>>48333339
>Assuming true immortality is possible in a mundane universe.
>>48333261
I'm not really understanding how you're going to do the mummy school then? You're going to make their spells only available through scrolls? Also since you're here. What exactly does that extra tome in the items section do? Just curious since I've already made my build. I mean what's the theme of that grimoire?
>>48333261
>Removing all of a tome's content except five mediocre spells
>Thinking this will make anyone happy
Think I feel like working on a throwaway CYOA after I finish the last revision on World of Myth and Wonder.
So, question: has anyone done a coffee-themed one yet?
>>48333339
>Get true immortality

>Somehow you can't make your own higher existence using technology.
Get out namefag.
>>48333370
Throw it out and make tea instead.
>>48333352
oh, of course it's not. But just because we introduce true immortality to a fictional universe doesn't mean "ascension" is automatically possible too.
>>48333058
>>48333155
Thanks for the help.
Ok any anons want to give me ideas for items? I'm making a CYOA where you sorta pick a special enchanted item with a snazzy name and a kinda theme to it.
Examples:
>cowards candle: a white sword that glows brighter the more scared the wielder is, great for spooky monsters and areas
>all ogling goggles: a pair of goggles that can switch between night and thermal vision
>fortune cookie: looks like a regular fortune cookie, but the note inside will contain extremely important information regarding your near future
Any nifty ideas guys?

>>48333174
I'm not saying the bod isn't real.

>>48333380
Heh; clever play on words.
>>48333322
>>48333339
It's a bit of an arbitrary limitation on the supernatural to say that "true immortality" powers exists, but alternate universes/higher planes of existence don't.
>>48333383
Just because you want to feel smart doesn't mean we have to pretend your stupid "gotcha" catch for immortality has to exist in our fictional universe, either.
>>48333372
I suppose it comes down to how we view entropy. But, I suspect this won't be a productive conversation to continue.
>>48332670
How long did you spend on this? Why?
>>48333416
>>48333432
Wasn't intended to be a "gotcha"; in truth, whether or not I would go for immortality would depend on the CYOA in question. Some are more likely to have "higher planes" than others.
>>48328600
hey acheld, prolly dont remember me but i am the 2 time, now 3 time poster that gave you kudos a while back. I would like if you could add a bit of fluff more then anything and allow a certain age to be reached before turning to (limited immortality) I would hate for my son to be 2 years old for thousands of years before present day. Unless that falls under the remove from slot and i am just being critical. Thanks again, and this is an awesome cyoa.
>>48332175
>choose wrath
>find my way to hell and start slaughtering endless demons
>become doomguy
i see no problems
>>48333363
It's no longer going to exist, as Items are being replaced with Perks
>I'm not really understanding how you're going to do the mummy school then?
It's going to be halfway between v2 1.0's full school, and v1's "part of purple" version.
You won't be able to take it alone, like in the original version, but you can have it as a large part of your build.
>>48333291
>>48333367
There's not much i can see it doing that isn't meme spells, so i'm trying to make it better but the start of that is cutting out the memery.
Going into it i didn't really have any idea how to make it a full stand-alone school, and the stuff i've cut so far is just filler spells and bdsm magic.
>>48333322
Even IF there is a higher plane of existence, it might not be possible. Ascending to that plane might necessitate that you first die and become a spirit. In fact, according to most religions, only people who die and reincarnate until purified, or who die while in a state of grace and being forgiven by the chief deity, are capable of ascending to that higher plane. Both options being out of reach of that immortal.
>>48333307
The problem is not eternal boredom, it's eternal pain and madness. True immortality would necessitate immunity to pain, possibly true invulnerability, to be worth anything.
And you're assuming the new universe won't be better than ours, filled with overdeities that consider you some sort of cosmic undying cockroach. Or so different from ours that it's mind shattering, both for you and for those that see you, but that doesn't necessarily make you powerful, just a low CR aberration. Or the new universe is so different than ours that it's very phisical laws areagaisnt you, but instead of making you an Elder God it just gives you a new eternity of endless pain and unchanging suffering. You might even come out in the new universe as an Elder God and just never find the one or two planets with living beings and pass the whole eternity just floating in space until the next heat death.
>>48333516
First of all, it means a lot, thanks.
Secondly, it certainly was never my intent for people to be "locked" into childhood eternally. You can consider it canon that anyone granted immortality via your powers can age if they wish to.
I'm considering just adding a throwaway line in there that lets you age up or down freely; I don't see what it could hurt.
>>48333399
Uh..does it have any unique abilities?
>>48333399
>>48333598
Why not Shivering Shin, a shin bone shiv that causes frostbite?
>>48333551
So there's just going to be a neutral pool of spells people can pull from?
>>48331020
>The House of Five Houses
Is that like the Litany of Litany's Litany?
>>48333678
More like the DRD Department.
>>48333669
It's still going to be half a school, but the fluff will clearly state that it's been mostly lost, with few remaining spells to use.
There will be a vastly decreased penalty for multi-school builds, and an incentive to do so in the future.
It will be less
>what you've learnt from one school
and more
>what you've learnt from your master's library
>>48333698
Oh alright.
>>48333694
Yo dog I heard you liked houses so I put five houses inside your house.
>>48328600
Given that you've added more options would you consider increasing the amount of drawback points that are allowed for us filthy min-maxers? Cause I'm walking a dangerous tightrope as is between making magic available for the discount and preventing society from collapsing due to everyone being a Firebender.
>>48333551
>meme spells
How are curses 'meme spells'?
You haven't addresses how you're fucking over anyone who wanted to be a mummy or have a desert theme. Now we have to be some other shitty type of necromancer with the spells you can count on one hand that are from the mummy school. Bet you're cutting all their other content too, like the companions.
>>48333727
I'm hoping to get at least another 4 cross-school minions done, if not more.
>>48333752
All the other schools have spells that directly or near-directly relate to both their school and necromancy in use and theme, while Ancient only has a few, less than half, that do so.
I'll try and rework them to flesh out Ancient necromancy, but the point is, it needs to change and adapt.
Also
>Now we have to be some other shitty type of necromancer with the spells you can count on one hand that are from the mummy school
Please go see a doctor or guitar/piano teacher if you can count 6 spells on one hand.
>Bet you're cutting all their other content too, like the companions.
Reworking minions and companions with less Barker Sex Demon Magic. Not cutting them.
>>48329353
>human civilization
Bitch. You go Monkey people or you go home.
>>48333788
Awesome. Those cross school ones really felt fun and unique, with the little descriptions. So how exactly are you going to borderline encourage cross school builds? Also I personally like the idea of only being able to pick maybe 2-3 spells from other schools and keep the main theme of whatever grimoire you choose.
>>48333736
Oh, anon! Your agonizing choices bring me joy.
In seriousness, though, I will consider it, yes.
>>48333807
>Not uplifting both in a pan-primate utopia
>>48333788
You don't see how you can use necromatic energies to inflict disease, age, and weakness on people? The whole thing was an obvious egyptian magic theme and everything that wasn't BDSM related fit fine.
>6 spells
This is supposed toe defeat the 'on one hand' argument? It's literally only one more.
>>48333834
Why're you bitching so much? If you don't like it then don't use the next update.
>>48333848
That version will have less content and less polish. It won't be as good as the new version.
>>48333823
Can't leave out the Neanderthals, either.
>>48333613
Hey I like that
>>48333834
>This is supposed toe defeat the 'on one hand' argument? It's literally only one more.
Can't handle the bantz mate?
>You don't see how you can use necromatic energies to inflict disease, age, and weakness on people? The whole thing was an obvious egyptian magic theme and everything that wasn't BDSM related fit fine.
Fair enough. I'm not an unreasonable person and i will concede defeat in this debate.
You will see most if not all of those spells return.
>>48333814
Right now the idea is as you detailed, you get 1 grimoire and a little flavour from an/other(s).
In the future you will not be required to adhere to such a strict purchasing style.
I think i'll encourage single-school styles (+1 spell in that school for every 4-5 you pick?) or something, but i'll move away from negative enforcement.
Scientist, I wanted to opine about your Broken Waifu CYOA.
First I'd like a larger section for children, perhaps subsections for gender or not. (Although a gender option is nice.) Oedipus and non-virgin need to be options as well.
The Mother option needs access to some of the options for job and income becoming a 'wealth' stat. (Multiply the 'income' by ten and half the point cost.)
What about a 'like or dislike' options for each; Mother, Child and Father? Just to make it easier to get into the grittyness of a build. Ofc, if a Father/Child/Mother is dead or out of the picture, than you cannot pick a option for this.

Are you doing anything with Promræn Caro?
Are you gonna expand the Minion options?
Also, I was always curious; do you have to know both spells involved in making the hybrid Minions, or could you team up with a necromancer from another school?
>>48333862
So you're complaining about a version that you know is going to be superior to the current version?
>>48331731
I can't decide. I really want to be with Shub but her background of being an unholy eldritch horror who fucks her followers in the form of a goat bothers me a lot.Why did she have to be so great in this CYOA
>>48333923
I hope to live up to my name and approach things in a scientific manner. If i'm wrong, i'll change. I don't want to be a stubborn cunt that instists they're right to no end.
>>48334308
It's likely.
At the least i'm lowering the requirements for certain minions so you don't need 2 spells for a ghoul, for example.
>Also, I was always curious; do you have to know both spells involved in making the hybrid Minions, or could you team up with a necromancer from another school?
I d't know if it's clear, but the idea is that the minions and spells you pick are what you will fleet the initial situation with, so you will need to have the spells to make the minion yourself; at least initially.
You can't team up to make cross minions until later, so you can't pick minions that rely on that plan.

Not him, but how about something that works like a temporary, stacking Imbue/GreatHeroes?
For instance, at minor, you could improve your strength from 2 to about 2-and-a-half, or grant a level 0 power to a whole army as long as you devote all your attention to it. This only works for a few minutes at a time, after what you need to let your magic rest.
At major, giving lesser powers to others would require only a medium amount of focus, and you could improve your own powers by the equivalent of a whole level for a few seconds, or strengthen the magic of your imbued minor firedancers to turn each of them into a giant flamethrower (doesn't instantly give them the knowledge to cast higher level spells, it just make their spells bigger).
Basically, some kind of magical "sprint".
Not sure of the right balance of how long you could maintain an effect/how much of you attention you need to devote to not make this overpowered though. Maybe it's not feasible without a whole page of appendixes and special cases.

Yeah man, seriously. Some of the worst weaknesses and the weakest powers in the whole thing, there's no reason to be a vampire over a Fae or a Demon.
