Good news first or bad news folks?

Always bad first. That way our expectations can't get any lower.

Bad news:Highlander might have overdosed or something
Good news:He actually finished the allies section, Eleven pages in total
>>46107715
did he died
Or is he just in the hospital?
Also how much was left undone?
>>46107776
I doubt drugs will actually kill him. He's just freaking the fuck out.

Are there any more Rwby things?
I don't even know what this rwby shit really is, but every time I hear it I feel like someone is talking about something like homestuck or ponies and think they're a massive faggot.
>>46108134
RWBY
stands for red, white, blue and yellow, an anime made by monty oum, in his own personal style.
>>46108170
That's nice. Why are you a massive faggot then?
>>46108192
Probably the same reason you live under a rock in a hole for not knowing something basic and popular on the internet. Chance.
>>46108232
Funny thing is I knew as much as you just said, because obviously I should spend at least five seconds googling something before dismissing it. But really, why do you feel the need to show of what a massive faggot you are? I just don't understand the impulse.
>>46108170
don't forget the part where the characters are modeled in some japanese porn program so they all have vaganias under their clothes.
>>46108265
Wow, I didn't know that's how vaginas come into existence.
>>46108263
answering a question? Sating curiosity is human nature.
>>46108265
What the actual fuck are you talking about
>>46108265
E-even the boys?
>>46108331
Especially the boys.
>>46108265
Has someone exported these official vaganias?
>>46108265
Wouldn't it be strange if you had a bunch of characters without genitals?
>>46108170
It stands for Ruby Weiss Blake Yang you idiot.
>>46108519
no lol
>>46108386
If it was a porno, yeah.
>>46108534
Anon, are you sure you didn't skip sex ed in your school?
I don't know how I feel about telling you this, but girls do in fact have vaginas, and boys do in fact have penises.
>>46108519
i will only concede that i messed up on Black.
>>46108512
permancy, shapeshift others, gross manipulation

>>46108572
Not in anime. Everyone's this weird third gender with only minor cosmetic differences between them, and it's random what differences you end up with.
Trust me, I've studied up on this. There's no other explanation for this "trap" phenomenon. It just doesn't make any sense why so many people prefer boys who look like girls but are still boys; besides them being faggots, of course, but I've also concluded that preference of genitals has no real bearing on this particular brand of faggotry, so it can't be used as a way to measure what causes this.
I'm slowly cracking the code. I just need more time.
>>46108658
Yes in anime. If it's a human character it has genitals, because that's part of being a human. Just like not mentioning genitals is part of normal life, so I don't know why you're confused over this.
Also that thing isn't japanese, so it isn't anime.
>>46108698
That's like saying Wakfu isn't anime, anon.
>>46108729
It isn't, it's french.
>>46108749
But it was designed to imitate the anime style.
>>46108754
I don't know if that's true, but let's say it is.
Okay, and? Now what?
>>46108763
And so comparisons to anime and phenomenon in anime are valid.
>>46108729
Anime is shorthand for animation. Technically every cartoon and CGI is anime but for genre terms it is Japanese cartoons that get labelled as anime.
Honestly, we should just go back to labelling it as Japanimation. Stops idiots from incorrectly categorising shows.
>>46108170
>>46108754
1, Monty Oum was a giant weeb and a pretty shitty guy. He wasn't even liked that much until he died.
2, anime doesn't have a "style". That's like saying every American cartoon is the same style
Did that Worm cyoa ever have any news on the update status get posted?
>>46108771
So you're saying it isn't an anime, it can just be compared to an anime? Okay, but I never disagreed with that.
>>46108786
Anime is just cartoons from japan. It doesn't mean anything else.
>>46108820
Look at the history of the word. It is a loan word shortening of animation.
>>46108832
Which happens to mean cartoons from japan.
at this point your bait is painful.

Here's the alternative choice set
>>46108698
Anon, I frankly don't believe you're nearly as well-versed in this particular subject as I am. I mean, you're asserting that "humans" in anime are anywhere near the humans in our everyday life when capabilities vary wildly. So wildly it's obvious to me that they're a whole different species. It makes no sense that we should continue to believe that they're the same as us.
I'll just ask the obvious question: Have you ever seen anime pussy, Anon? Can you prove it exists? And I mean mainstream, none of this hentai stuff that was created for the express purpose of arousing the senses, because that's obviously going to bear a much greater resemblance to the common man than anime has to in order to reach a given population. The uncanny valley effect is in full swing, even in our day and age. Anime characters have largely flawless faces with very few defining features except for the obvious eyes, ears, and mouth; some forego noses entirely, and aside from that the most common trait would be wrinkles upon an especially old person's face (after which are scars of course, but these are often found in young adults). How can you posit the idea that these creatures are truly human just based on their physical identity and what the creators would say, let alone the idea that they have binary sexual characteristics like we do?
I demand anime pussy if this discussion is to go any further, otherwise you are simply wasting my time.
>>46108903
The ability to form relationships eventually leaves you? Okay anon.
>>46108786
Everyone loved Monty, tf are you on?

I was once a mighty Titan Slayer, but then I died long ago. The twins, however, decided they would put my brain in the body of a defeated ogre. They, of course, worked on the ogre to improve the body but due to complications with the reanimation process it was easier to have my mind be in my true head whilst the spirit that was bound to my existance be split between my original mind and this now headless ogre body.
Also, this shit's ridiculous, I should now curb-stomp the titans based on the stat scaling. As such, I guess I'd take on the titan for free drinks/rent, and then end the Coming for a custom companion and +3 endurance to be truly indestructible. Don't really care about the companion part, maybe someone will invent one for me. Me against anything else is unfair, but I guess I could save everyone and everything for other awesome rewards.
>>46108934
>Proof?
I'm awaiting anime pussy before I delve more thoroughly into the subject matter, but take into account the extremely different physical accomplishments in anime compared to what we have seen in our day and age. An average human might survive a metal rod piercing the cranium and severely damaging the brain, but this is unlikely; a "human" in anime can survive a multitude of wounds and need only a brief stay in a quality hospital at worst in order to be on their feet later in the episode. Take into account the antics regularly seen in more "slapstick" anime where a protagonist might be punched through a building by the violent love interest. This alone places them well outside the boundaries seen in peak humans considering both strength and durability.
If you are so keen to continue the discussion, I will await the posting of anime pussy.

why do CYOAs that have hunters and warriors put hunters as DEX and warriors as STR.
it should be the other way around, warriors should be agile and dexterous to better control their weapon in melee and archers need to be strong as fuck to pull their bows back.
>>46109100
Nigga you strong, but you ain't THAT strong, you're Hercules strong, and Hercules had a shit ton of flaws when there were fights he couldn't win with his fists.

Essokinesis was initially a 10 pointer, until I realized how dumb that was.

>Which happens to mean cartoons from japan.
Bait, because no one is that stupid. That's so stupid that if you believed that you'd have to consciously think to breath, it's just that stupid.
>>46109909
Because warriors need to walk around in heavy armor and swing heavy weapons. They're not swift prancing prissy faggots.
>>46110017
Loanwords mutate in meaning. As far as the west is concerned, anime is just for Japan's cartoons. It doesn't matter if Japan uses it for all animation. We are not Japanese.
>>46109863
No. It's your browser fucking it up.
>>46110023
He's right in that pulling a bow requires more strength than any of what you just said.
>>46110023
>heavy weapons
swords weighed like 10 pounds at most, most of the weight was near your hand, and the 10 pounders needed two hands, lessening the load. You need strength to wield it, but agility lets you attack faster and more frequently. Also, 1 handed swords should require more strength, since 2 handed swords aren't 2 times as heavy.
bows can have draw weights of well over 100 lbs, the strain was so much that medieval archer's skeletons were deformed from the sheer stress, their left arm bones were thicker than the right.
>>46109974
>Either way, at this rate, I'll have to insert more pictures to break up the monotony of white text on black.
Do you happen to have all of that in a txt file? or are they psd files?
>>46109909
Well, Anon, if your CYOA gets popular maybe others will follow suit?
>>46110084
.rtf file, so basically text. Then I copy/paste onto psd and spruce things up, catch typos I might have missed, etc.
>>46110060
I'm attacking his idea that warriors would spec dexterity.
>>46110075
Which you need to be swinging often. That requires strength. Not dexterity.
Warriors were not prancing around like ballerinas. Humans are not elves. You need to readjust your conception of how melee fighting works. Fencing is a fucking sport, not real combat.
To answer your question, it's because they needed to give dexterity a use so it wouldn't be a dump stat. And everyone with a brain knows a warrior doesn't need it. So bows got it.
>>46109100
How many threads back is that?
>>46109732
I appreciate speedster IV making it so we don't get bored when running across the ocean. That always seemed like a massive drawback that is never mentioned for speedsters.
I like the addition of the Groot form and I bet it would be useful/fun with a battleform.
For the stone form could it look like a gemstone? I would personally want a badass emerald form.
When choosing the battle form appearance is that a one time thing or can I change it each time I transform?
I don't have much of an opinion on the kinesis powers as I don't usually pick them but the Pathokinesis looks good to me.
>>46110136
That's only half of what he said, and the other half is connected to the first.
>>46110136
Dexterity: skill in performing tasks, especially with the hands
Gee that sounds a lot like swordsmanship.
This guy even mentions that you don't need to be all that strong to use a sword. He says that nobody he knew could not use a longsword without the force needed to hurt someone, old and young, men and women. That's not the way with bows- there's no way an untrained person could hope to pull back a longbow.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3OIjpLSaYQ
And he's an instructor in swords and other melee weapons.
http://www.fioredeiliberi.org/training/
>>46110158
Battleform appearance is a one time thing. I'll clarify that in updates.
Stone form is stone for now. I figure I'll add new forms in future, like Diamond Form.
Battle Forms as they are, is something you switch between, but I'll probably want to add an upgrade that'll let you combine your forms. So you can have arms/legs of Groot with metal tips and torso of stone maybe.
Oh, and Groot's immune to faunakinesis. He's not fauna. He is Groot.
>>46110165
The other half is irrelevant because I was disagreeing with his suggestion, not his view on archers.
>>46110171
Dexterity is for sleight of hand and sneaky tricks, as well as finger agility. None of that matters at all when you're using a sword. You grip it, you slash. You're not dancing it around your fingers.
>You don't need to be all that strong to use a sword.
No, but being stronger means you can cleave into someone better. Thus higher damage.
>>46110129
Ok. Once you're done if you update the rtf I could see about fancying up your image files for you by redoing the file or adding to your psds if you want.
Do stuff like adding a background that won't interfere with the text, some breaks between sections that look nice etc.. Keeping the images you've used and the text you've done.
>>46110188
Dexterity: skill in performing tasks, especially with the hands.
Don't see how that only applies to sneaky and sleight of hand tricks. I mean, it doesn't mention fingers, it mentions hands. And I'm sure everyone knows you use a sword with your hands.
>No, but being stronger means you can cleave into someone better. Thus higher damage.
You don't need to hit someone with a tremendous amount of force to kill or wound them seriously. Mike Tyson stabbing you vs a Bernie Sanders stabbing you isn't going to have all that much of a difference. It'd be more helpful to be able to stab more frequently since you can try again if you miss, which more strength doesn't help with.
>>46110188
The single most important aspect of slashing with a sword is getting the arc and angle just right for a clean cut, which is very much about dexterity.
And that's on top of having to fight a moving opponent who is very much trying to interrupt your slash.
>>46110186
I mean to say flora, not fauna.
Battle Forms have been edited, they now say "set", not "choose" your appearance.

>>46110247
It's not so simple to use a sword. It does require some strength and endurance, but a lot of it is control over the blade.
Strength is a good quality, and it does help. But it's about controlling the blade precisely, being able to deflect blows, and being able to put your blade into their body without them putting theirs into yours. That's pretty reliant on you controlling the blade, which requires....you guessed it! Dexterity!
>>46110320

Nice ad hominem. So if it's simple, could you please upload a video of the simple movements?

Tooting your own horn, fencer? It's certainly not a matter of prancing around, twirling it about your fingers and between your hands like you're in a Wuxia movie.
>Deflecting blows
Now I know you have no idea how to fight with a real sword. You absolutely do not, ever, use your sword to block or 'redirect' strikes. You use your shield or you get the fuck out of the way.

Oh, I understand why competition sports are defanged. I'm just informing you that those two are not representative.
You are also aware that your argument amounts to "If you're not a chef you can't tell me my food sucks!", and it's a bit sad because it's a basic fact that showy competition martial arts are not representative of real combat.

Also thanks to my superhuman strength and agility, I can use that grappling hook much like Spiderman, allowing me to quickly scale large enemies and obstacles and even close with flying enemies to punch them out of the air.

It's an old version of the Necromancer CYOA. For more recent work by the same author, see the Djinn CYOA.
>>46110533
There is a difference between a taster tasting food and realizing it tastes like shit, vs you looking at a fight and saying the person should do this when you have no experience, no credentials to back it up.
A chef makes food, which produces a tangible result that can be tasted by another person with no experience. You don't need to be a good chef to know food tastes bad.
A fighter has to actually fight against a competing opponent, this will not produce a tangible result in many cases (except in professional boxing, MMA, or kickboxing where they actually knock each other out, but not in swordfighting since those injuries can be very serious). Now since this was a sparring match, there's not going to be a KO or deathblow. You DO need to have some skill in a fight to know what a fighter should do. It's nothing like eating food that's shit.
You are also aware your analogy is shit? They are not a 1 to 1 representative, but they're the best we have. They may not match up with real combat 100%, but they get very close.
Hunter guy here, still working on my waifu cyoa. I only need like 10 images for it, but trying to find some of them is simply nighmarish. Can't give an ETA because I'm burning out but it will be done sometime.

Wrong. A number of swordfighting manuals have survived to the present day. It's true that the body of work is thin, but we do actually have real references.
>>46110655
Sorry, I wasn't in the best state of mind since someone made a pretty stupid fucking analogy. Forgot about the manuals.
I have found evidence for my argument.
By all means, if you're the same anon (I can't tell, you seem too respectful now), you have to counter argue with evidence as well. Unless you do, your statement holds no water.
>>46110470
Ventra is actually supposed to be the least desireable, that's why her perk is so good.
I guess that doesn't account for fetishists.
>>46110678
I'm not sure what exacly about the autists above are arguing about because tl;dr but people absolutely practice real techniques with real weapons. Very dangerous.
https://youtu.be/ln94E9AGYTc
>>46110622
>>46110651
Thanks for the offers but I'm too autistically perfectionistic, and even if I wasn't, some of the things I need are too vague. Also, the CYOA has a big surprise factor to it and i don't want to spoil anything.
>>46110672
You evidence is two guys in competition sports. I wouldn't really call it good evidence.
As far as your request, that would require me to actually put effort into finding discussions of these manuals or quotations of these manuals, or anyone otherwise going into heavy depth on the matter, through all the muck discussing the modern sport version. That obviously would require a decent amount of time I'd rather not spend when I could be sleeping.
>>46110495
>By all means, show us your experience
I just have this mental image of a dude shaking his fist to the sky, yelling this out melodramatically.
>>46110714
You're putting your own subjective views on evidence, instead of pointing out the factual flaws. YES it's not 100% the same. Neither is ballistics gel the same as human tissue, but we're not going to say, "ballistics gel is not 100% like human tissue, therefore it is not a good medium to determine the types of wounds a person might receive if shot." Why don't you point out the specific moments where it's impractical or nonsensical, instead? Since after all, since competition sports are so impractical, you should be more than able to find points where they are doing something to get them killed in real life.
And it's not a request, it's a basic requirement to back up your statements with evidence for it to be taken with any seriousness.
>>46110704
Good luck and godspeed then anon
>>46110751
>subjective
Nope. I know what I'm talking about, tex.
>>46110145
So is this actually legit from Lurl, or fan made?
>>46110759
Until you find evidence or proof to back your claim up or point out the factual errors, your opinion on this matter doesn't matter much.
Fencing anons, please shut up. Nobody cares.
>>46110777
Same to you, until you go out of your way to pick through a manual yourself.
>>46110767
Who gives a fuck? I mean, seriously, literally, effectuatingly, indisputably, autismally, what difference does it make?
>>46110781
>>46110777
Forgetting where we are? Nobody's opinion matters at all. The outcome of your little shitflinging match is going to be just a bit more shit on the pile.
>>46110767
What do you want to believe?
>>46110794
If it was by lurl anon could consider it canon, which matters to those who it does.
>>46110792
I just gave the fucking evidence in the video, genius. And you're too lazy to point out any flaws other than a very vague statement.
>>46110825
You gave me evidence of competition sports.
I'm going to bed, anon.
>>46110678
This would be good for me if it didn't turn them into giantesses.
>>46110794
I mean, seriously, literally, effectuatingly, indisputably, autismally, do you have to ask your questions in such a cunt manner?
And I do, because I asked that question, so therefore I "give a fuck."
>>46110805
It doesn't matter much, but I just was curious about it.
>>46110781
I'll take the Black Mage. He seems like he'd be pretty easy to get along with, and nuking stuff with elemental magic seems like fun.
>>46110846
again, no specific statements, just a vague statement with no evidence behind it and just saying, "it's not legit because it's not 100% the same"
Good night.
>>46110848
Don't only gigantomasts get increased height?
>>46110818
>a CYOA can be canon or non-canon
ok
The Tyranid doesn't seem like that bad of a deal. For you at least. Not so much everyone else.
>>46110781
I wouldn't say that. They've given me an idea for a nice,short/d/ CYOA.
>>46110921
maybe canon isn't the right word, but I'm guessing more along the lines of it being "genuine." Like if something was really the item and not some knockoff from China.
>>46111014
No, I'm still not getting it. These are CYOAs, anon. All of them are knockoffs from china.
We make everything ourselves. Just because a namefag made something instead of an anon it doesn't magically become more genuine.

The reason we have the concept of a canon in the first place is to denote the artist's intention. Was it intended to be part of the world?
It is possible to play a CYOA badly, by ignoring parts of the work and forgetting to mind elements that the author intended to guide your choices. If there's more mechanics the author intended you would want to know about them.
Although in this case it doesn't matter much, it's just some fluff around your reward.

Rely on my followers and minions to complete my will, only intervening with fissure to bring down walls when necessary, or appearing in avatar form to boost troops during difficult assaults.
Lesser minions are effectively miniature flying healbots (with scouting capabilities) with the ability to poison and degrade enemy equipment; overall designed as excellent support troops. Followers comprise the vast bulk of my army, and I have blessed them with various powers accordingly. Greater minions are the tip of the army's spear and handle anything that could give my followers difficulty, such as opposing supernatural creatures.
I'm a tremendous asshole, so I'm actually going to let even the least faithful, most treacherous followers into my afterlife. What they don't know is that I'm going to completely restrain them in dungeon forever so they can't kill themselves. When their empowerment is no longer needed in a world, then I might deliver the sweet embrace of death.

Sadly nobody seems to care about making a version with a better font.
Talking about fonts, what Font does the Overlord CYOA use? It really needs some re-balancing. Holy Wars with other gods give you 5 coins, a pair of dragons fucking you over gives you 1 shard total, the Dragon's Back housing is overpowered as fuck... I'm pretty sure someone needs to remake it.
>>46111749
but that doesn't increase the amount of posters.Admittedly I started work on the CYOA before I made the first post, so I didn't finish it in 2 hours, but it's gotta be close.

At the point of creating and modifying programs by willing functions and features into existence, it stands to reason that I'd be kickass at tech support or software dev. Even game dev if I could git gud at art or write software to generate appealing art and characters for me. Hell, I could point the software towards engineering better machinery and get rich off of some innovative technology. But that's not broad enough
Here's some chaotic-good shit that may actually cause unintended harm-
I'd write a program that sweeps through government and corporate records for the most desperate individuals and anonymously fudges records and distributes funds so that they overnight find themselves miraculously able to support their families or pay off that home loan and dig themselves out of the lower-middle rut. Something something American dream.
A similar program could calculate how to distribute appropriatable funds to do the most net-good in the world and Robin Hood the shit out of everyone. It'd probably end up suggesting its own chairty program and to start fleecing banks and billionaires before feeding the world and distributing vaccines and medicine to the third world.
Oh, and a program that alerts me with a new interesting/useful fact every day. And hell why not also a dietician/exercise coach? In fact, personal fitness coaches and dieticians for everyone.

>>46112037
All rounder specced to fill in wherever needed and enough Charisma to run a larger team. Extra emphasis on battlefield control with spatial awareness, tremorsense and high PER to be aware of where everyone and everything is, plus the ability to create golem meatshields (or spies) and manipulate the physical battlefield for additional support at all times. Protective/healing skills to run support and keep people alive, an armory of powerful weapons that I can pull out on demand to supply teammates with, ranged support lightbeams, backup physical weapons if magic fails, a background in explosives and enough science to keep up with the scientist twins in my party, and electrical spells to be a human battery for the technomancers.
Plus two open slots for additional members depending on where we go. Maybe a ranger type for the outdoors, an aquatic/wind type for the seas, a thief for dungeon diving, a bard for morale, 'sall good.
Reasonably high CHA to be the party face. Physical endurance to shrug off a titan isn't bad either.
I suppose if I really wanted to I could pick up Operation: Gravedigger for another 1000 years of adventures, but that might feel lonely if I couldn't give my friends eternal youth as well.

Interestingly enough when Beri first started doing these I'd download some of the rectangular images or the pure white background images and modify them for Beri. Either add a background so it wasn't so glaring or crop them down. A few times I'd have to rebuild part of the image due to it not cropping well.
Did that for about 4 or 6 gallery runs, then some anon started bitching and whining that I was taking up precious image slots and started cussing up a storm and calling me all sorts of names, etc... so I stopped helping Beri out due to that.
>>46112303

So you were caught unprepared, all the more reason for you to do the cropwork before the next gallery starts taking submissions.
Not really sure what the point was in making me read it again, but eh.
