Don't start this shit again.
>>48181240
Okay. Different question. How much cybernetic enhancement do you want, assuming you can get any amount in any variety?
>>48181296
As many I can safely get away with.
>>48181296
all of it
>>48181296

>tfw can't make any more builds for this
fuck I love it so much but I always end up with, IIRC;
>Pride 3
>Sloth 2
>Lust 1
I'd love Greed/Envy 2, the one where you can buy and sell attributes like "health" and "height", but sloth 2 is so comfy with the greed bonus
Or maybe it's not Sloth, the one where you can walk into somebody's house and they have to serve you.
> 0.5 Changelog
* Artistic Prodigy mental boon added
* 'Beauty' clarified
* "Blessed One" white-mage ish power added. May have too much overlay with Spirit Singer; considering whether it will stay.
* Five Quest Additions: The Federation, The Historian, Technophobe, An Empire Eternal, Myth Maker
* Six new drawbacks: Tower of Babel, Nemesis, Cursed by the Spirits, Betrayal, Skin of the Outsider, Supporting Cast.
* 40 point total drawback limit added.
* Language on some quests changed to be more "neutral"
* Several quests can now be completed before present day is reached if you meet all the conditions. The Historian and Technophobe are exceptions.
* Two quests may be chosen. Quests now reward 10 points worth of benefits, rather than 5.
The Federation provides a technology-based quest for those who do not like the idea of AI. The Historian provides one for any anons who prefer to be observers.
Many new drawbacks to choose from.

So, assuming it's absolutely guaranteed to be perfectly safe, would you go 100% synthetic?
>>48181323
Including a fully synthetic brain?
>>48181238
Gonna post all the builds I made for this last thread.
Welp, someone noticed a minor error in the principals entry, which is that the last line got cut off. So I just removed that whole sentence.
>>48181363
Yes because I have really shitty genes anon.

Lindsey was apparently my girlfriend before my memory restarted and now she lives with me, Yuito is my co worker for when we experiment on the mutagen formula the higher ups had made for something. Haven't been told what and apparently they want to start a small Disaster and they want me around for deployment for if/when shit hits the fan. Then I get to be the hero that makes Zombies to kill and eat other zombies. First one.
>>48181381
Honestly, it's the only thing that makes sense. My genes are fine and I'd do the same. We're already a shitty, goopy computer piloting a shitty, goopy mech suit. Why not upgrade it?

Well, it depends on the setting (how tough it is, my job, existence of brain hacking and basilisk hack, the capability of simulating the five senses) but probably yes.
>>48181353
why interesting possible choice don't include any starting civ places for their time? Like when chinks started massacring everyone for land or Babylon, ancient Greece?

>>48181438
Forgot rough idea pic.
>>48181457
The list is just meant to give you ideas. You can pick an exact date and coordinate, as suits you.
>>48181452
Wow, thank you. I wish I had known about this earlier instead of spending 2 hours splitting hairs over my magical yuritopia at 2 in the morning instead of just clicking some buttons.
Adding grit to a character without making him edgy is a difficult task. ffs.
>>48181504
No, thank you. My secret motivation for posting that link was hoping someone hadn't seen it, so I could feed off their gratitude like a disgusting emotional leech.
>>48181497
>Tranform cooldown
what did they meant by this?
>>48181541
The amount of time that has to pass before you can transform between human and dragon forms, after transforming once.
>>48181507
it's not unless your definition of edgy is "everyone who is not innocent"
>>48181541
Shifting from human mode to dragon mode.
>>48181457
If you meant why can't you start at those times, then the answer is what >>48181503 said.
If you meant why I don't consider those times interesting enough to list, the answer is that I started early, and just haven't gotten around to adding them yet. It's low priority, since that in no way affects the functionality of the CYOA
>>48181532
>>48181541
How long until you can go back to your other form, I think.
The bigger your dragon form is, the longer you have to wait to transform again.
It's also a pretty good way to guesstimate a dragon's size.
>>48181590
Or you know you can just stick to your cool and awesome dragon form all the time.
>>48181353
Now that you've added an obviously benevolent power, how about a more nefarious one that gives us some specialized destructive magic?
Also, you kind of messed up the Rewards for Emperor of Mankind: if you already have Major Telepathy and/or Imbue minor telepathy you lose out on a gift.
>>48181507
Does it? Wouldn't an example of Grit be also your standard upbeat shonen protagonist that never gives up no matter what?
>>48181497
Orange Wyvern
Nomad Immortality
Masked Aspect
It was a tossup between Manta and Wyvern, but Wyvern won out because of the utility of it's human ability. It basically makes you a low level superhero.
But because I'm a tiny dragon, I'ma just keep movin' on.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCxZbkwkvGE
>>48181677
That's an option. But I like doing human things. And most stuff is made for humans. And humans have thumbs, which is the strongest point in their favor.
>>48181507
I disagree.
>>48181532
Does Sagacity aspect grant inclination toward wisdom/etc, or just the _appearance_ of wisdom?
Similarly, does Mentor grant an knowledge/increased capacity or inclination toward learning, or just the impression that you have it?
>>48181716
Hmm.. Stormsage is already pretty destructive, but can also be helpful. So, yeah, it's not a bad idea to add something that can only be used for destruction. I'll see if I can come up with something.
As for the rewards, I added a sentence at the end of the description of quests that specifies that if you already have a reward you instead get the equivalent amount of points. I did that to not have to repeat the same thing in several reward sections.
>>48181797
Just the impression, I guess.
I don't know for sure, it's not my OC.
>>48181507
How bad you can be at making characters that adding him ANY grit makes him edgy?
>>48181798
Great, I want to fuck humanity up. I'm going to proactively take revenge on EVERYONE!Does that me pathetic?
>>48181852
A bit. But whom am I to say? *shrug*

We're all pathetic here, anon! Just look around you!
>>48181852
no, it makes you into supreme gentleman
>>48159347 (Cross-thread)
Nordic realm. I pick Warrior, Hunter, and Sailor.
Enhancements primitive, lascivious, and high-tech. So I have a dream world of tough people who sail and fight dinosaurs, and fuck, and some of that sailing is through the stars as we raid and conquer foreign worlds.
I choose sorcerer prince for spacial magic (teleporting, pocket dimensions, etc) which I'll use to pilot my ship. I also choose Prince of Maps, so I can put that to good use. I choose Crown Prince and Mystical Master, to be important and to control myself.
I pick Amuzan gear, a sword and simple armor, and a copacetic conveyance. That conveyance is my space ship. With her, I sail the seas of space and of my world.
The Traveler's Transcript, a Runeslate (like a runestone-sized dataslate) in my personal palace records my actions and contains my maps. The ones used on my ship are rubbings taken from the stone, and they'll be used by my nation too, as the king dies.
Kidnapped Cutie quest. I'll raid and take back our people tenfold.
Davenport seems a perfectly good waifu.
And I've a third of my points left. I'll enhance my realm further with sky islands and ancient ruins. Now I sail between islands as well as planets. I assume there's still sea to sail on from time to time.
I enhance myself with more magic: Flesh-crafting. The power to change the bodies of living beings. I take Wright Prince: Servants as well, and I'll make soldiers, sex slaves, specialized artisans and musicians, interesting animals and mounts, and all manner of being with my magical and technological powers.
Finally, I take Trader-Prince. I'm set to raid and war and defend myself, but there's one other coin in which I was previously poor, and that's coin itself.
tl;dr: Magical space/sky pirate saving waifus, making waifus, and being a badass in a ship.

Remind me to ensure gender equality does NOT become a thing. One gender is clearly superior.
I think this one is good.
>>48181240
Preach it.
>>48181841
Get inspired by Leone, Tarantino and Eastwood but ends up with some mary sue-ish deadeye gunslinger instead.
Gets inspired by Rome's Vorenus and Pullo, also some other sword-and-sandal stuff, but the ends result is some JRPG swordsman.
Not perfect depiction but you get the gist.
>>48181962
Please don't, we've successfully stopped talking about this.
>>48181156
Would you prefer low power and low responsibility or high power and high responsibility? Which factors matter when making this decision?
>>48181983
It's not hard especially first type, you just need to balance characters power and his social autism. Mary sue is always likable and good at everything, your character should not be
>>48182085
Anon, these questions are impossible to answer without a setting.
Without the setting, I'll say low responsibility which means I also get low power.
If the powers are cool enough, or my responsibilities are things I'd like to do anyway (say, act as an adventuring diplomat inDream Princess), it's fine by me.
So question 2: if the powers are cool enough or I want to do the job anyway
>>48182091
The goal of a writer is not to create perfect happy fantasies where everyone is okay and things turn out fine. The goal of a writer is to spew forth broken, malfunctioning things and pit them against horrible, unpleasant situations. Then see what happens.
Or so the saying goes.

>The goal of a writer is not to create perfect happy fantasies where everyone is okay and things turn out fine.
Let's be frank anon, that's the goal of every person here.
>>48182226
Yeah, and this isn't the "writing interesting stories that have genuine artistic merit" thread. This is the "create masturbation fantasies revolving around minmaxing, escapism, or actual sex" thread.
>>48182226
If only you could see the terrible things I have done in my cyoa builds. If only you knew how many tabboos and laws I have broken. Even /d/ would weep at the sight of my crimes against nature.
>>48182180
>Children's books, fairy tales, and idealistic fantasy are all innately bad.
Nope.
>>48182252
Most fairy tales are gruesome as shit.
>>48182252
It was more intended to be a hyperbolic way of stressing the importance of character flaws and conflict in stories.
You fucking simpleton.
>>48182264
Yet often enough everything turns out fine for the people you're supposed to care about.
>>48182269
And misusing hyperbole totally can't give a newbie writer the completely wrong idea, you grotty knob.
>>48182247
Try me anon. I've browsed Furaffinity and Deviantart for 12 hours straight because work was boring, read every pokemon/naruto/bleach/digimon fanfiction I came across throughout flinching.

Yeah, I hear you. I've seem that advices a few times when I looked for advices on chargen but I'm never able to pull that off.
I mean, I can think of some bad traits but it feels somewhat disconnected, only something I threw in to make it not mary sue. Meanwhile in the characters from the sources I mentioned the bad traits are so well built in to the character that even that seems charismatic.
>>48182288
I'm not going to go into details but that stuff is the kind of the thing I used to do when I was maybe 14 years old when I wanted a good fap. It only got worse.

Magical Realm. I had a pretty great build going where I left my world into the custody of a pantheon of gods while I spend a few thousand years in my personal sanctuary to reach godhood. The gods would not remember I created them and at my return things would get interesting as fuck.

Thanks for the offer. This one is pretty recent, I made it a while back for a cyoa (I don't remember it's name but found the post number >>47304772 )
Yasunori, although being just a high schooler, is known as master martial artists, his training on internal styles allows him to control qi enough to heal at incredible speeds and lighten his body to perform inhuman acrobatic feats. Inspired by "Divine Spear" Lin Shuwen, Yasunori consider a defeat any fight in which he has to strike more than once, because of this his fighting style is very explosive and earned himself the nickname of "White Comet". However, his most valuable asset is his uncanny foresight that occasionally allows him to react to his opponents even before the offender carries out the intended action, allowing him to dodge bullets and strike vital points in high speed targets.
His biggest weakness lies in how distractible he is by beautiful women. He is constantly seem flirting with someone in his school, not only with students but also with the docents (He is currently in "love" with the school doctor, who toys him by baiting him with seduction into doing menial tasks for her). All his masters agrees that his improvements slowed after joining the current school and is considering to back off their recommendation to turn down his scholarship unless he proves himself in the Dark Tower. This personality quirk is specially troublesome when confronting female opponents, in which he becomes clearly reluctant and fights in a very defensive manner instead.
The are some others, but I would have to translate it first.
>>48182378
I don't choose any build from any cyoa because I don't want to deal with any of you chucklefucks in the final reality trying to out dick each other figuratively and literally, subsequently causing that reality to collapse upon itself from all the bullshit and wankery.

The interactive magical realm maker unfortunately lacks the common sense tp properly order your generated results. Still this is my build.
>>48182491
Christ.. let me filter out all the Mary Sue wankery.
>Yasunori is a fellow high school student and a seasoned martial artists, specializing in controlling qi to accelerate healing and to perform inhuman acrobatic feats.
>Yasunori prefers to finish fights quickly, earning earned himself the nickname of "White Comet" among his peers.
>Yasunori one true weakness is women, becoming easily distracted with his many love affairs with both students and teachers.
>His performance at the school has suffered to such an deplorable degree due his lust, that even his masters are considering to revoke his scholarship unless he can prove himself worthy in the Dark Tower. Undaunted, Yasunori vows to conquer the dark tower and overcome his lust, no matter how formidable or beautiful his potential opponents may be.
There, still sounds like something from a shitty shonen anime but less Mary Sue-ish.
>>48181353
Aside from the default immortality, the rewards are kind of "meh". I think the bonus points should be granted at the start of the quest, with the immortality being the prize at the end. At least that way, the points are guaranteed to be useful. I don't really see a need for ten extra points after accomplishing the Sorcerer Supreme quest, for example, since I'm already required to have 3 major powers in order to undertake the quest in the first place.
Furthermore, the new drawbacks are incredibly harsh for the points rewarded. The only drawback worth taking if you're aiming to complete a quest is still "The Dustbin of History". Honestly, this newest version makes me want to forgo all quests and simply live for thousands of years in a comfy pocket dimension with a handful of companions.
>>48182845
Thank you for the feedback. I won't be granting rewards at the beginning of quests, because then it's not actually a reward, it's just an increase in the points you receive.
As for the drawbacks, I'll wait and see if they are used. In my mind, if everyone maxes out on drawbacks, then that means they are not harsh enough. But, I will consider it more closely.
>>48182893
Notice what I have done though.
Instead of Yasunori being a master martial artist hes simply a seasoned one and for the most part I just gave a simply description of what is specialization and fight style is like. With no hint of arrogance. Let the player fill in the blanks.
Note that included that he was known by his nickname "White Comet" among his peers and not refer to as such by everybody. Meaning the people who do call him that nickname are either his friends or fellow martial artists that have seen him fight.
And I cut out most of the bullshit about his affair with the school doctor again let the player fill in the blanks and the deviant bastards of /cyoag/ are quite good at that. And just sort of implied that he had a lot of affairs going on, humbled enough to realize he has an weakness and is pragmatic enough to try and overcome it, because his grades are on the line.
>>48182985
Possibility: quests give rewards at the beginning, but have serious punishments if failed. Such as death.
>>48183034
Good in theory, pointless in practice.
In what universe would any CYOA player, after taking a quest which has death as a penalty for failing, ever fail the quest? Putting death as a consequence for failure is the same as guaranteeing that every anon is sure they will succeed.
>>48182838
Thanks for the feedback. The mary sue wankery is indeed my signature card and I want to fix it but in my defense the cyoa was kinda anime-themed so it ended up like that. I guarantee you it would be have much less shounen element if it were, say, space refugee or traveller.
>>48183023
>Instead of Yasunori being a master martial artist hes simply a seasoned one and
The "master" aspect comes from the cyoa choices, but that's not important.
>for the most part I just gave a simply description of what is specialization and fight style is like. With no hint of arrogance. Let the player fill in the blanks.
This part is very interesting and I like it.
>Note that included that he was known by his nickname "White Comet" among his peers and not refer to as such by everybody. Meaning the people who do call him that nickname are either his friends or fellow martial artists that have seen him fight.
Makes sense.
>And I cut out most of the bullshit about his affair with the school doctor again let the player fill in the blanks and the deviant bastards of /cyoag/ are quite good at that.
In hindsight that was very awkward.
>And just sort of implied that he had a lot of affairs going on, humbled enough to realize he has an weakness and is pragmatic enough to try and overcome it, because his grades are on the line.
I like it, this was the way I wanted to go but failed in my autism.

I'm retarted, what is the aging ratio for aging at 1/100th the speed of an average human? For every 100 years/days/hours, you age 1? What kind of lifespan post-ageless immortality are we looking at here?
>>48182378
Traveller's Tale by a country mile. Access to immortality, power(all the way to bullshit levels if given enough time), fantasy worlds, sci-fi worlds, science-fantasy worlds and any kind of world or combination you can think of. Kind of a cop-out really since it can include all, or at least most, CYOAs and works of fiction but that what you get with an infinite multiverse.

I suppose I'll join Jupiter. I'm not interested in that level of competition, but perhaps some ambition is worthwhile. If I manipulate the boys, rather than the girls, I can be a king of kings. But I'd be happy with only girls.
Allure 1
Elusive 2
Force 1
Study 2
Threat 5
I basically made myself, but with pumped up Threat for the sake of the scenario. My Study is really more like 3 in real life but it wasn't when I was that age.
Favored classes:
Acting
Business
Psychology
Language Arts
The social ones are worthwhile arts in their own right, the dominance ones are great means to an end.
Inhuman Threat grants me a "fan club or cult", so I'm going for that shit. That can help mitigate the low allure, and allow me to excel in Jupiter.
Dignity, because I wouldn't want to lose that anyway.
Magic is expensive as fuck, but I'm going to buy into it. Five points for "trained in magic", one for the favored class, and two to boost my Study to the point where I can actually succeed at difficulty checks.
My four spells:
Supernatural Sight: The main reason I took this, I need to know what's going on.
Telepathy: It's handy.
Shroud: Never know when you might want something like that.
Illusion: Mostly for fun, but I imagine it'll come in real handy.
Aside from the enjoyable pastime of amassing slaves and influence, magic gives me a goal: Amass spells. I'll take my share of slaves, in Hermes as well as my own house, for practical purposes, and from whichever house is conveniently available on the girls' side. Individuals are more important than connections there, to me, and I intend to keep them close anyway.
Mysteries:
I'll address the Dorm Raid, which is a security flaw.
The forbidden section of the library piques my interest.
I've no interest in the others.
Secret page seems to be missing, though.

If you assume you start at a bodily age of, say, 25, and live to be 95 in physical age (very plausible since you're still immune to disease), that's an extra 7,000 years.
>>48182845
Another comment on the Sorcerer Supreme quest to add. Yes, it is harsher to complete because of the requirements. But, along with God Emperor quest (which is also notably difficult), it is one of the only ones that allows you to assign immortality to whomever you wish to, as opposed to just your companions, or another very limited set of people. That difference is intentional because of the extra requirements.

So. First I wander about meeting different tribes and people and doing myth things. I do this to about 100 BC. Then I begin conquering to form a World-Spanning Empire. I start by taking over the leadership of an equivalent to Rome by claiming to be the incarnation of my own myth and begin expanding from there. I use a vassalisation system, all vassals and their designated heirs have a telepathic link to me. Rebellions are crushed quickly by commanding my other vassals. Other than that rule is hands-off so long as the rulers cooperate with and support the expansion of my church. The only real limitation to my expansion would be travelling across the ocean which technology would eventually mitigate with time. I use the Empire to push my myth and divinity. It should be fairly easy to accomplish the listed goals.
been thinking of making a fantasy CYOA and adding a race based off Americans.
what should some of their abilities be?
>>48181962
What if the AI decides that humans cannot pose a serious threat? Most strong AIs are too smart and too distributed to kill even if you are willing to reduce the planet to gravel with you on it.
It might decide that humans are a resource drain, but it seems more likely that exterminating humans will prove more expensive than ignoring them or working with them.

Thanks! It's a fun CYOA.
Depending on how localised divination is, I think it could also be used to warn vassals of impending disasters ahead of time. Even if not, it's useful for enhancing one's myth. The mysterious stranger who wanders into town and warns the villagers that Mount Vesuvius is due to errupt tomorrow for instance.
I also think I might be able to expand the Empire before decent seafaring tech by just swimming the Atlantic and starting conquest there. One's vassals in Europe/Asia/Africa could still be commanded. (The way I read Major Telepathy is that you don't need to meet someone in person to form a new link?)
>>48184410
I'm not the one trying to summon her.
>>48184726
Well if he is asking then there are four primary things I would ask of him.
1) Ae, it's sun and the space stations that orbit it.
2) The council of nine as it stands, preferably in a wide shot with Duwall front and center.
3) An actual fucking Nisetic
4) Last but possibly the most preferred, an image forKirojikuma
If he's willing to do any of these, let me know, it could help me out in the long run and earn him my eternal gratitude.

The way I had thought about it is that you have to be "aware" of a mind to be able to communicate to it outside of the mile range. However, it's a reasonable interpretation that your vassal across the sea could "introduce" you to his son mentally.
I should point out, and I'm not sure if you read this right, that you can only talk with people at any distance; you can only actually read minds within a mile of you. So vassals could potentially try to lie to you when you were further away.
Of course, given the scenario you've described, they'd be pretty incredibly stupid to do so, and you could always have other "feet on the ground" to report back to you mentally.
>>48184368
Why would you suggest that I'm doing anything of the sort? I just posted my choices for a CYOA.

Here's my 500-word autism for that 1000 points:
Errant was a shipboard engineering AI of the mining vessel ‘Zasyadko’, piloted by Captain Arthur Hayes. While en route to a station to sell its cargo, the vessel was attacked by pirates. Being an unarmed freighter, the captain encouraged all personnel on board to quickly find an escape pod and save themselves. He stayed onboard and piloted the ship away to try and buy his crew time to escape. One of the ship’s engineers, Janice Mason, grabbed the chip containing the AI before sealing herself into an escape pod with it. Once a safe distance, she set the pod’s trajectory for the nearest station, in the process burning all the fuel aside from what it took to put her in cryo. The AI had been installed in the pod; set to be dormant until the ship would be within range of the station, so as to be able to wake her up.
Years passed, and inevitably, the AI was brought back online. Rather than being greeted by a station, it found a field of twisted wreckage. Whether product of a pirate raid or particularly nasty meteoroid shower, the station was no more, and what little fuel that remained was used to steer the pod off a collision course with the wreckage. For too long, the craft drifted. Over time, the AI changed. Ghosts in the machine, so to speak. It started to think. Named itself Errant, and slowly the memories of the vessel, the pirates, and even the engineer became corrupt.
At some point, it was discovered by something. Someone. A traveler. The only anchor Errant had to its past was the sealed suit with the woman’s body within, and the pod with the name ‘Zasyadko’ marked on the side. If ever asked where it came from, most anything about its past, Zasyadko was Errant’s answer. For ease of transport, Errant was installed in the suit, and the engineer’s body removed. The traveler offered the woman a funeral in the nearest star before bringing Errant to the homeworld.
(1/2)
>>48185049
Fuck. That looks like a shitty wall of text. Oh well, here's the rest.
Errant knew nothing but the darkness, solitude, and silence of space. Suddenly, this traveler found it and now, endless options were arrayed before it. It has no idea what to do. It does not need sleep, but whenever it enters a dormant state, or sits idle for extended periods of time, it has ‘nightmares’ of the darkness, solitude, and silence that used to be all it knew. It feels most comfortable around other AI, as it feels it can relate with them, and so quickly gravitated towards the few that were around for the fledglings’ arrival. When given options as for housing and missions, Errant decided to stay on the homeworld for a while, and take time to acclimate to all that has opened up to it. It thinks about things for a while, and is generally slothful about making decisions, as it is completely inexperienced with pretty much everything.
When it needs credits to pay for something, whatever that may be, Errant uses its intricate knowledge of technology to its benefit. As it was designed as an engineering AI, it was programmed with knowledge of all technologies man had in its home timeline. It quickly picked up on the new technology of this place, though the social intricacies were lost on it. Errant is eager to learn, though having trouble getting over its discomfort around organic sapients. Most of the learning it does is from the encyclopedia it was provided at orientation, as well as its various AI friends. At least, it thinks they’re friends. It doesn’t fully grasp the concept yet.
Dunno if you're still doing the Ranks, Highlander, but I went ahead and filled out one of the templates for shits
I don't remember which board I saved this on, but I've had it in my random crap folder for years. With a little tweaking it could make a decent CYOA, I guess. I remember the mystery box was not a good one on this though.

I do not act, I do not think, I do not fight, I do not rule, I do not seek, I do not die. I exist, as the Everlasting Dragons were always meant to. Mortals clamor before me, seeking this state of pure existence. Some may achieve this peace; many will not. It will not be by my will, for to will such a thing is to stray from pure existence. I am the relic of the land of gray crags, archtrees, and everlasting dragons.

>>48184905
The language wasn't unclear in regards to the mind-reading limit of telepathy. Still, like you said, that's not too much of a hindrance.
I wish there was a computer strategy game similar to this. The closest I can think of is That Which Sleeps, but that's vapourware.
>>48185077
Y'know, I've lurked here and posted builds since that classic island CYOA was still being posted, and I've never once looked into yours because it was a PDF (and REALLY fucking long). Are you turning peoples' builds into characters for the CYOA?
Version 1.0! The fact that there is a 1 in front of this means that it is "done" for the time-being. So, if anyone was waiting to do a build for that reason... Most significant change is probably that several drawbacks give additional points now.
Changelog 1.0
*Some cosmetic and formatting changes, a few spelling fixes.
*Body section changed to just assume you build a body by default, which is what everyone was doing. This still allows the option of keeping your own body, it's just more concise.
*Working (Wo)man is now free, and One Percenter is now only 1 point. This is because, in truth, they only give a small boost at the very beginning of your journey, and so aren't worth much.
*Firedancer magic added
*Friend group cost reduced from 21 for ten friends/family to 15 for seven. Similar change for famous/fictional persons.
*After consideration, several drawbacks were somewhat increased in the points they give you. Total limit remains at +40.
My next steps are
1. Actually do a build for this myself.
2. Work on the Magical World Add-on/DLC. This will be about adding magic of various kinds to the world in general, independent of you. It won't use the same pool of points, so there is no need to worry in that regard.
After the DLC is done, I will return to the main CYOA based on the input I've seen in the meantime.
Thanks!
>>48185576
Aye, and if not that then at least keeping it for future use. Imageboard CYOA isn't the most marketable form of medium, but it can be one of the most creative of ones. Every build I get I keep to help build the world of the cyoa further.

Quests: Myth Maker & God Emperor
Okay, so you might imagine what is going to happen here. First thing is that everyone imbues everyone else with their respective power. Now we have a party of 4 super wizards who have the six forms of magic above at major level. Spend a few thousand years mastering all the powers, spreading myths and teaching students (mainly teaching Blessed magic and Spirit Singer, which are the bost benevolent forms). Given Divination, Spirit Blessing, Motion, and Healing, you can see why i don't really need a lot of the higher level defensive abilities.
The Tower of Babel can be worked around since each person in the group can learn one language. Since we can always communicate with each other, that allows 4 languages we can understand as a group at a time. Not perfect, but doable with the aid of translators. Given Genius 2, it won't take us too long to "change" languages when we need to.
The Slow Pace of History is perhaps annoying, but not actually a problem.
Betrayal... that, will hurt. Depending on whom it is, I would hope that they could be reconciled in time.
Once Myth Maker is accomplished, which realistically will only be limited by population, (in OTL, 100,000,000 happened around 1,000 BC; I can probably make it a bit sooner due to the proliferation of healing magic and spirits helping the crops and such, so maybe 1,500 BC, or even 2,000BC if things go well), then the drawbacks disappear, and life becomes much easier. The founding of the god emperorship (which will actually be either a triad or quartet of god emperors) will begin.
>>48186681
Choices from quests:
Myth Maker: Economist (there will be legends about bringing wealth to the people) & Commander (and about leading people to victory over enemies)
God Emperor (later): Imbue Minor Telepathy, Wellspring of Harmony (could be useful in the endless millenia ahead)
So, yeah. Benevolent rulership of mageocracy, with teaching the higher levels of the "white" magics, and lower levels of the other magics, to countless students.
I will be "plugging the hole" though of giving your companions the ability to imbue powers on the cheap, to avoid paying full cost to have the power yourself. Kind of sad to see that build become invalid, though!
>>48182378

Magical Realm is amazing, certainly. I would pass on Worm CYOA, because I think it would be lonely in time to be so far above others.
I'm quite fond of the one I've just made, too!
Basically I would want a CYOA where:
1. You can become immortal
2. You can be reasonably powerful.
3. You can live an interesting life without any serious threats to your existence or happiness.
4. You can still be basically human, connect and relate to other humans.
What other CYOAs fit that bill?
>>48186868
This fits the bill.
>>48186868

>>48186956
Heh.
>>48186805
Ae is the Quarian Homeworld from Mass Effect, if I'm remembering correctly.
>>48186805
1) The world of Ae itself is actuallya terraformed mars with heavy polar ice caps and a number of bright cities.It orbits around a fresh alternate sun with moderate amounts of satellites and artificial stations. There are no stars, in fact there is nothing beside these two celestial bodies in Ae's resident pocket dimension.
2) Duwall himself is a an slightly taller man, shaved head but a full beard, brown hair brown eyes, pot belly and a perpetual shit eating grin. He started the trend of wearing a single set of clothes at any given time, in his case a leather jacket, a frayed undershirt and a set of workers trousers. He also wears either boots or no shoes whatsoever, depending on his location. In terms of weapons, he carries with him at all times a short piercing blade, and a pistol, as well as the standard Traveller bracer.
In addition to this he also has with him a simple Hikers bag, a number of religious pendents, and a Silver Torc he is never seen without.
3) As for Nisetics, there's a few things to note. Hair is more in line with quills and steel wool then the human equivalent, a layer of plating exists under the skin that while rarely seen does give their features a much more angular appearance to features, big hunters eyes, and such. They're a mix of insectoid and mammalian traits, and removed enough to not fit in either category.
4)Throw a little bit of Japan into the Mist by steven king for 400 years. Kirojikuma is the place that has stolen Duwall away.

I don't mind not being able to really change the status quo but I think difficulty options would have stopped some of the complaints.
>>48186946
I don't see any reason you wouldn't be able to chain them. There's a couple meta ones that give you bonus points, and there's that fantasy one that's an auto-follow-up, and you can always take Slut Life or Paperwork if you need a few options that are cheaper there before chaining over.
>>48187069
That would be Rannoch.
>>48187086
Well, I take the challenge I was responding to as really meaning *one* CYOA without meta-ones connecting them together. It's a matter of interpretation I suppose.

Sorceror Supreme first, travelling around and giving folks healing powers. Completion will make building or supporting an Empire a cakewalk, assuming it also gets rid of the other demigod walking around. Frankly, I'm not sure how either of us would kill the other (unless he's terrible at making builds), so I hope he disappears along with my other drawback. If not, we will be fighting for eons.

Magical Realm or Original Worm.
>>48187125
Well, four of the five I mentioned explicitly say "now go do another one." Faerie is the only odd one out because it tells you to do another CYOA before it, so you either leave it out or pick it first to build the rest of the chain in front of it, I guess.

>Rick best companion
Does any one have the entire version of the personified pokemon cyoa? I've been looking but i cant find it completely finished.
>>48181353
so the nemesis drawback mostly covers this, but i was wondering about a milder version - one or more parties who oppose your designs not out of malice but for the enjoyment of the long game or from a difference of opinion about how a particular goal should be achieved
>>48187172
Thanks for sharing!
As for what happens to your Nemesis after a quest is completed, you can choose any of the following interpretations:
1. The burst of power from completing the quest allows you to eliminate him from this universe.
2. He comes to his senses, so to speak, and agrees to stick to his probable empire (which he's likely been building himself) if you stick to yours. This leaves the opportunity for partnerships in the future, but also means you aren't the only fish in the pond.
One thing I don't understand about your build is the choice of Firedancer as your final quest reward. Honestly, at that point more firepower seems rather underwhelming, and not very useful. Can I ask why you chose it? There's nothing "wrong" with it, I'm just curious.
>>48182378
Magical realm, of course. I already posted what I'd do in it in-depth >>48181410
Basically normal near-future life with a beautiful society and locale, with magic and robots and fun culture to partake in. Filled to the brim with lesbian girls.
Anything where you get to build a whole society is fun. I wish it had a couple more points though so that I could increase the size of my realm and the amount of people living there.
>>48186904
Willpower: I'm just going to assume I'm at 4 to start.
Draught of Punishment
Draught of Focus [The Apathecary]
Alembic [Elixir of Insight] (Politics only makes me angry anyway)
Draught of Alcohol
Youth
Singing
Release Will [Apathecary]
Elixir of Form (Drink after youth potion, now look like an adult)
So 5 Willpower when all the draughts are in effect. I'm sure being drunk would only help my work as an apprentice Apathecarist...
I now make money on the side by singing shitty songs on youtube and spend the rest of my time working as the Apathecary's apprentice. Who knows, maybe the Draught of Focus will work well enough for a semblance of romantic love.
>>48187297
hmm... it's a thought. I'll consider adding it if I can think of a way to do so that will be clear to read and understand. Thanks.
>>48187253
Wait for the update.
>>48187253
Yes I do, but should I really post all 16 pages? Please wait for Italics' next CYOA instead.
I knew it wasn't going to go well when he said it would be about 30 pages. "It should be ready on Tuesday or Wednesday". Those poor fools who believed him.
>>48187316
Hm, I see. I'm leaning more towards him being erased, but having him stick around could be interesting, too. Maybe the Nemesis will be female, and I could shoot for the waifu path.
As for Firedancer being last, it's more insurance than anything. Raw destructive power to cement my status as Sorceror Emperor, or somesuch. So no nation in their right mind would stand against me. The powers before it have more uses than just pure destruction, thus I chose them first.
>>48187253
Check the pasta, you fuck.
>>48187153
Alright, here goes.
Igra] Seven foot tall, four armed bird man with stunning blue plumage and a wicked black beak, wears loose robes or a just a simple skirt that doesn't bother the feathers, oft seen with a datapad in hand and a sour expression.
Cos2933] A mix of a human woman and a mechanical skeleton often drapped in a lavish dress, she is rather small especially when situated beside Igra. Her hair is long and a sandy blond, braided behind her head, her eyes are lime and reveal her artificial nature, along with her hands that also reveal her AI heritage.
Kagua Orguz] Big mean Ork Bastard looking more in line with his 40K brethren, though a great deal more amicable. He wears plate and kevlar armour and a zwiehander on his back, as his position no longer needs him to carry guns. He has an impressive jawline and small beady white eyes, that would likely be blind without the miracles of science, his age is showing, his skin is sagging in places, but his muscles remain firm.
Muhammad ‘Barbi’ Asuelasa] A shorter man with ragged balding balding hair that is often hidden behind a turban, Barbi wears solid white leather clothes, massive wyvern scale boots and is not often seen without a pipe. His eyes are blue, his skin is a heavily tanned and his beard is frayed, almost sickly. He wears set of 1920's style glasses.
Duwall] Covered
Gadraki] Seven foot tall Nisetic who has only ever been seen in a full set of spike plate armour, perpetually carrying a full armoury on his back, swords, axes, rifles and other weapons. Doesn't often speak, and never removes his helmet.

>>48187560
Irmunsul] A faun, white furred goat legs, a mane on her head and a solid pair of curling goat horns, brown skin, cheerful smile, goat eyes. Wearing thick leather armour lined with excessive numbers of pockets that has been cut specifically to reveal her voluptous figure. No pants because sheep wool. Married to Barbi and the two are often close together.
Dornua Algash] Toad faced old git with only a single eye and many scars. Hair is grey and buzzed cut, face is stuck in a perpetual grimace. Wears light power armour but never a helmet. Always has a stupid big plasma pistol at his side. Not much liked by anyone besides Duwall and Irmunsul.
Tirouk] The youngest, wouldn't be in the image, so there's no need to worry about him or his predecessor who wouldn't have been at the image.
Elder Nadya] Another elder, ragged with age, a self aware hag. Wears an armoured void suit that shows much age and many marks of combat, her face is also covered in aged scars and innumerous wrinkles of time. Her eyes are a watery green when open, and her thinning hair is braided behind her head.
>>48187149
Well I imagine there will be variance even amongst the most 'purified' populations. Of course you'll have the one stunning asshole that can literally kill with his hair, and then there's the poor asshole who needs to be sheared once a month.
>>48187237
Partially. A lot of this has already been consolidated, but there's also a surprising amount that isn't and this is helping me mark down.
>>48185638
Does your Nemesis just get the standard 100 points or do they also get all the non-Nemesis Drawback points?
>>48187434
Sure, waifu your ex-Nemesis away if you like. You've had a wild courtship period of wasted civilizations and bloody battlefields.
Makes sense on "cementing your status" with Firedancer. I was slightly surprised at first that you choose that over Telepathy, but then I realized with Major Master of Motion you can check in all over your empire personally whenever you like.
>>48187585
All non-Nemesis drawback points.

Arriving a few thousand feet above the designated site, K begins his descent as a mad paratrooper. Flanking the enemy from an angle they never never thought possible, K starts the fight before he hits the ground. As of late, he has become bolder and bolder in utilizing his wingsuit's parachute. He says he is trying to master a technique by "landing" as quickly as possibly with the simultaneous use of the parachute and the insufficient thrusters from the built in jump pack. One of these days some poor bastard is gonna have to send out one emergency call after another. But right now you can call him the "Shooting Star".

Does anyone have that cyoa with the premise of your uncle having disappeared under mysterious circumstances in an urban fantasy environment?
I think one of the powers included being incredibly lucky, the companions were all built using the same rules as you, i.e. getting certain companions could compensate for holes in your build. There may have been up to three invisible foxgirls you could get to follow you, but I don't know if that's true or the cyoa are blurring together.

Myth Maker
God Emperor of Mankind(?)
Tower of Babel is annoying, but with Genius 3 I can quickly learn and swap languages. Tactic is to travel to all empires - particularly empires with writing - and flaunt my numerous powers. Individual tribes are too scattered and low population to make visiting them worthwhile, so empires are the easiest mechanism to exploit to spread my influence.
After performing miracles I would create works of art. I would write codes for people to follow and worship, so they do not forget me. My cults would spread word of me far and wide; for fun, I can even prophesy certain events I remember from history. I would also subvert the rise of monotheism in the Middle East. I can't destroy or stop the creation of Jerusalem, but I can change the culture and beliefs of people in the region so monotheism never develops.
God Emperor of Mankind has a (?) because I'm not sure if I can complete it after Myth Maker - completing Myth Maker first removes the drawbacks, theoretically allowing Emperor of Mankind. It's mostly for flavor anyway; I just like the idea of a common figure in myth revealing himself to be all the same person. Would make the worship of me a lot easier to swallow if I'm already recognized in most pantheons.

Can you make it so that the AI doesn't necessarily tend to have humanity's interests at heart? I want the option to make a neutral/malevolent AI, and the current quest is a huge turn off.

Hah, thank you. I could have sworn this was more than one page, though. Is it an early version or am I just used to cyoas with companions, perks, and complications just taking up multiple pages?
>>48188088
If this is supposed to be an AI, it behaves too much like a human for it to seem like a reasonable interpretation of a robots way of speaking. Not to mention the fact that being a robot, they would lack the biological processes necessary to feel hate.
>>48188065
Nothing is stopping you from creating an AI without fulfilling the quest, you edgy cunt.
>>48188108
>>48188088
I just wanted to make a neutral one to see what the AI would come up with for a moral system, and because I don't believe human morality to be the start and end. Seems to have gotten y'all really triggered though. Kind of funny actually, I mean what's it to you, really, what kind of AI I like?
>>48188105
That's the only version around s'far as I know. Shame too since Toss! invalidates a good chunk of the other powers, while the fox sisters are the objectively right choice for companions.
>>48188105
It's the only version. Italics has said he's not expanding it and instead he'd rather do another CYOA set in the same world.

You still don't remember a thing, do you? After all the people you've killed, you're still trying to put the pieces back together? I've already told you once before: you'll never know the whole story. Why you've been getting all those phone calls, why your girlfriend was killed; you couldn't even realize who the killer really was.
No one else had much time left; in fact, they're all gone now. Most of them didn't even know what happened - although, from the loud boom and the searing heat, you probably figured that part out. I'd ask you if you're happy that you've got more time, but your last moments of freedom weren't spent wisely. The Russians weren't the ones who ordered that hit, and now it's too late to go back and fix your mistakes. What's done is done, and I can't imagine you're stable enough to actually go back to being a normal person. Not after what you've done in Hawaii and Miami, not after what you saw what happened to San Francisco. So instead, I'm going to ask you the first question I gave to help you."Do you like hurting other people?"

Artificial Intelligence. They are robots, computers. Why would they think like humans? They're not human biologically. Even if you programmed them to "act like a human" its "human" behaviours would only fall within a small spectrum of human behavior patterns.
>>48188885
Yeah, but it comes across as if it's just second nature to you, like an instinct or something.
Doesn't mean that you could actually apply it to real computers.
>>48188978
The whole point of NP is that it has been demonstrated that any problem in NP space can be translated into any other problem in NP- you solve one, you solve them all. And one of the NP-hard problems is devising a P=NP algorithm. As long as you fluff a problem with economics- which is easy, because economics deals in applied mathematics frequently- P=NP for you personally.
Let me repeat: wHaT.

>>48189058
>AM derives satisfaction
Why would it derive satisfaction from anything? It was programmed to kill, sure, but was it also programmed to feel emotions the same way humans were? Emotions aren't an inherent property to sentience. You can go your entire life without feeling hate, sadness, joy etc without being or becoming less intelligent; in fact eliminating the first two things is a common goal of most human moral systems. For humans these emotions can act as motivation and without them they wouldn't necessarily be able or willing to perform certain functions; AIs do not suffer this issue at all unless programmed to somehow for some reason; their programming is more or less analogous to any given part of the human body. It's a fundamental part of what they are, they don't need justification or motivation. They just do.
>>48189167
>He's probably just a troll and the final page dosnt exist.

Worst of all there was absolutely nothing you could do to affect the status quo because for some reason the most influential people of the multiverse supported it.

This guy is right. I used the super soldier cyoa and transferred it to the rape school. I won by slaughtering the teachers and higher ups and replacing them pod people style. Well until I collected so much dirt that I released it to the world. Then I had all the puppets come forward with the few survivors to the secret purge and did a large execution for catharsis for the freed sex slaves and wage slaves. It was beautiful. Also might have made a willing harem of the paranormal research club, but that is beside the point. I think I had tier 6 stealth, tier 6 strength, average looks, tier 5 everything else. I also ate a teacher and took the position. Good times. Took a literal SHIT ton of drawbacks and debuffs to get the points necessary to my them negligible and for my victory to be assured. I made it roughly on the Alex Mercer build, but added some magic when it was necessary, such as some illusion, word binding, among a few other key components for a long term plan.>>48181392

I think that's why it allows you to purchase "slots" for companions, so that you can share your things with someone you meet on your journey.
>>48189700
It was an intriguing setting that the author fumbled in execution. My guess is they didn't spend the time to build the setting beyond "RAPESCHOOL".
Like >>48189715 mentions, you basically had three options, and unless rape (or getting raped) is your fetish, all three options majorly sucked.
More than anything, it felt like half a cyoa. The rapey setting was fine, but it certainly seemed like the author only spent time on the rapey stuff, and kinda threw their hands up in the air after.
>>48189812
>killing rapists and to bring this school down is also an option, there is nothing saying you can't do such
The problem is the setting doesn't give you the tools to do so, which seems like a major chance missed by the author.
Outside of wanking so hard that your little friend breaks off in your hand, you're not going to bring the school down in the cyoa's current build.
Exactly like >>48189873 did. Not saying it's badwrongfun, but you get the point.
>>48185638
Yo could you make it so that Major powers automatically give the ability to confer their Minor versions to others? Spending 15 points on a single fucking spell is ridiculous.
>>48189895
>doesn't give you the tools to do so
Elusive 5/6+Self defense+Force 3-6+ artifact armor + artifact weapon. Here, you can kill any student and maybe even administration without much problems
>>48189895
The build to change the schooltook me about 4 hours number crunching and fixing to make it usable. close to 200-150 points in drawbacks all to justify I was a secret monster that Thelmis's Paranormal club fucked up in summoning. After that I learned some magic spells and started the secret blood bath by shapeshifting into wanted targets, and devouring the hostile. had a entire cult after the club and had to eat the teacher for trying to get them to go with the creepy men in long robes with tentacles. It took a while, but victory was accomplish. Also did the thing to break Apollo's mind magic on the Neptune House, collecting so much proof on what the other houses did along with the majorly evil students in them, created weapons, and the piece de la resistance. Turning them into a blood thirsty mob that went dorm to dorm helping my disguised character kill everyone with their dick out and in a hole. Got really pissed at Jupiter, but it worked.
>>48189878
that is an excellent point that I oversaw. I ran out of points and I don't want zero recognition for all I did (even if I did things under different names), or to have bad luck and get fucked over by everything.

>anon thinks he can beat the entire multiverse
Damm, how much of a deluded powerwanker do you have to be?You're literally going on a killing spree in a school endorsed by the strongest beings in the multiverse and killing the children of those people. If you think that is going to end well, you should legally change your name to Gary "Munchkin" Stu.
So, guys I've got a question.
Current CYOA in the works has a pool of similar options that you can choose from at multiple points in the CYOA. Should I just keep them all on a separate page and have text saying "Go to page X to choose your stuff then return here" or should I have all relevant options on the same page?
Keeping them on their own page is cutting the size down by 4 images so I'm leaning more towards that option.
>>48189980
Keep them on their own page and make sure that page is visually appealing and that the options are easily accessible. You're forcing me to look at it multiple times after all.

No I kill the most popular and replace them with pod people, they literally cant tell the difference. Also released an shit load of information to the general public of the multiverse first. Mass riots, civil unrest, they were too busy to stop me. Like in Dawn of the Dead it was to late. And its not deluded when I have the stats and power to do it.
>>48190015
>really now? Really?

>>48190024
You are working under the presumption that A) the strongest beings in the multiverse and their children have low stats, B) you can succesfully reach out to the rest of the multiverse with what is likely to be highly classified information, C) the school itself has no plans and preparations to deal with rebellious students like you, and D) you are not an inconsequential slightly bigger than average pawn in a multidimensional game of chess between gods.

The rape? Is there anything beyond the rape?
>>48190022
And with all the laughter? Way too obvious he's full of bullocks.
I'll probably go to Hell since God would probably say yeah, he's killing the scum of the Earth, but he's still killing.
>>48190053
No I am betting on their relative complacency, don't need anything other then a single shot to remove or control. Making contacts in Hermes helped, as well as rescuing students. It really isn't that hard. They just expect a student, not an extra dimensional super soldier with black ops training to be a student and a inconsequential algebra teacher. No one expects the Algebra teacher.
>>48190080
By the way anyone have a no one expects the inquisition meme? I sadly don't have one.
>>48189919
>Elusive 5/6+Self defense+Force 3-6+ artifact armor + artifact weapon.
Elusive 5, and Force 5 would cost all your 10 points, so assuming Elusive 5, Force 3, and two points to put in your other attributes, plus one for your house. That's your ten attribute points.
Allure, Study, and Threat are all low (bad news) because there is a grand total of 3 points left.
Elusive 6 is impossible without Inhuman Attribute. Same thing for Force 6, but we're assuming that's a no-go. So, Inhuman Elusive for 6 extra points. Self Defense class is 1, Artifact Armor is 1, and Artifact Weapon is 1, for a total of 9 ep spent.
Unless you spend more on artifacts, but few ep left.
Which leaves us 1 ep, and 3 house points that go toward perks in certain categories.
You didn't mention any sort of magic, so I assume you're skipping it, because magic relies heavily on our (likely) low Study score and buying Favorite Class: Magic.
Flaws are the way, I guess? Not liking this build at all.
>>48190078
>what do you like about the setting, then?
Highly detailed "horror school" setting where you try to survive with other student that doesn't focus on your companions. Rapey part could be toned down and hidden into shadow rather than front while fleshing out other mysteries of school and not sexual related attributes and bam
>>48190088
That is why you take as many inconsequential drawbacks as possible, I would post the build but it probably hit 404blivion at this point. Here is a hint, being a Teacher perk and Illusion magic is the big trick to get them off you tail. Apollo students are vowed on pain of death, making it doable.
>>48189960
Truthfully, I would consider building something inspired by it (or as you said, remake it), but I'm already doing work on a CYOA that I've been inspired to create recently.
Maybe after that, or when I (inevitably) take a break midway through working on my project.
>>48190109
>That is why you take as many inconsequential drawbacks as possible
Problem is, the whole setting is already set against you (assuming that you aren't ok with the rape fetish). Unless I'm going to wank the drawbacks away, it's really not kosher to claim any drawback as "inconsequential".
I always tell my players when GMing for them, expect your drawbacks to screw you over at the worst possible time. Personally, I consider it the only way to treat drawbacks. They aren't free points.
But as I said earlier, I'm not going to claim what you're doing is badwrongfun. I see it more as a design problem with how the whole cyoa was created in the first place.
>>48181156
YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT!PDF SHIT DOESN'T COUNT!
>>48190157
Well I claimed my entire club as individual parts of the major drawbacks, it counts. Think of it this way, if your going to change the school for the better in a major way, your going to attract a lot of ladies. Question is can you take them and keep them safe, are you man enough to save the day?
>>48190157
Maybe I should remake it myself, though what prog you use?
>>48190108
>that doesn't focus on your companions
huh, hadn't thought of that.
I agree completely. I'd personally tone down all the info on the different houses, since you can only pick from the ten that belong to your gender, and you can only pick one of them.
If you want to hide the rape part, it will have to be heavily redone to the point where it's barely Rapture any longer.
But I don't think there's a focus on "surviving with the other students", unless you choose to be a girl and not join the House that rapes/beats other girls.

It makes you quite powerful and makes it clear that you'll become moreso over the seven years you're at the school. It doesn't say "Here's an button to overthrow the setting, go ahead and push it!" but it shouldn't fucking need to. Use your own brain.

>>48190456
What bothers me about that cyoa are idiots like you who insist their shoddy build can overthrow the multiverse. You throw a fit when someone complains about the setting of the cyoa but you just munchkin yourself into changing it to suit your own needs.
>>48190435
It's basically setting agnostic, but yeah, it was made in like 2012 before it became fashionable to make your own new half-realized donut steel setting for each new CYOA you made.

You don't need to munchkin, you can also have a more realistic goal for improvement than "I'll wreck everything and the setting will become noblebright because yes" like Bush in Iraq.

He has Industry, Aerospace, Soldiers, and a population beyond what the CYOA grants you. He has fuck all else, and the CYOA assumes that many people will be doing this at once, which would be quite unsettling to the black man in the white house, maybe even moreso than the election. But if you're super worried, you could always just take Demiplane. That's what it's there for.
>>48190508
To be honest, I feel that way now without having done any CYOA. Luckily, he hasn't shown any interest in doing so.

Not him, but treat it like any other fetish cyoa.

>>48190108
>>48190675
>turn up the fetish or turn down the fetish
Eh
A slightly less rapey rape school could be fun too. But his complaint wasn't that there was too much rape, it's that there was too little else to balance it out. I wonder what the fuck that "else" would be. I could just make Scholomance with a house of rapist boys to add that sexual element in, but why?
>>48190675
>Bad.

>AND you'd be unoriginal
Doesn't that depend on my build?
I've got a whole concept for after leaving the gameshow too, trying to integrate back into normal life but being recognized in public from the tv.
>>48190687
so rather than say "every house either rapes, sells out other students to be raped, gets raped, or mind controls the Poseidon house so they don't know about all the rape", focus on the "horror school".
Look at Quiet's execution of "hidden horror"someone will respond that Quiet is trash and it plainly says there is a mystery- hint at shit being wrong, but only after you are already invested in the cyoa.
Don't say "there's a lot of rape" in the intro.
>>48190691
>his complaint wasn't that there was too much rape, it's that there was too little else to balance it out
Yes, because as another anon said, the purpose of the cyoa and the source material it was based on, is "rape school"
I love urban fantasy, I love the hidden horror... I don't like "everyone rapes or gets raped, and you know this right off the bat. Rape is the only thing that will happen to you throughout school"

Getting to be a girl first off, then having a job that sexualizes me, to reinforce my femininity. A master/boyfriend who is dominant but friendly, because I want a relationship where we're not equal. Punishments that involve submitting, so I feel like I'm in someone else's power. A nice room with books and a computer, so I can learn and play but with my sub status always kept in my mind thanks to my other choices.
>>48190108
>Highly detailed "horror school" setting
That's interesting. I'd like a CYOA that focuses on that rather than the magical side of it. Maybe toning down the lewdness while still allowing plenty of fetishes.
>>48190805
I think that could work, actually. I don't even think I remember sex = magic power. It's been a while since I read the cyoa.
You could have some guys and gals from the magic houses forming pacts / actual relationships to boost their magic - competition between (male) magic users leads to tons of rape to be the strongest, competition between (female) magic users leads to sluts being stronger than nerds, and there might be social stigma that prevents nerds from ever getting powerful.
Basically, girls will gossip that a nerdy girl is secretly a slut (why else is she so powerful), which leads to rape.
I think it could work, but I sure as heck ain't gonna do it.
>>48190805
>though the fact that girls are pitted against each other while boys work together was a mistake, since boys competitive nature
I think of it like this: boys work together and compete to rape, girls are pitted against each other to avoid getting raped. So it's friendly competition for the boys and escape vs capture conflict between the girls.
>>48190843
>Yes, and...?
what would I gain from helping you jerk it?
I didn't think sissylife made you a girl. Isn't that the exact point of sissification? That you still have a (useless and tiny) penis?

He would be a kind of combined pimp, master, friend and date.
>>48190585
>How, then, do you think it should be properly executed?
Aside from the missing results to the Mysteries, and toning down the rape/sex a wee bit? Well...
The attribute system needs balancing. The range (0-6) needs to be shortened or the points need to be increased. Having only 10+1 points to spread across 5 stats makes for generic builds or narrow (and gimped) builds.
The house descriptions need to be tightened up and condensed, they scream for an editor. Maybe combine boys and girls houses, there's considerable duplication. A bit of lore via a quote from a leader or standout of each house?
Some of the perks should be "gated" by requiring attribute levels. I strongly feel that the entire Perks and Flaws section needs cost rebalancing and editing.
The Favorite Class section has a lot of anemic classes with limited use.
Magic needs...something. Not sure yet.
That's just from a casual reread of it, not really wanting to spend too much time on it currently.

>>48190952
>You an use perk points there too.
You really don't want to, however. Points are very tight to begin with, which is why I mentioned it all requires rebalancing.
Which would also be addressed if the attribute range were narrowed, it seems to needlessly go from 0-6.

So, in other words, the Author threw a bitch fit because some people disliked it as a sexist concept.
I'm not condoning censorship, but the bigger bitch is the one that just plain stops work on a CYOA intentionally because of one or two people.
Most authors would just keep on trucking through the dissent if they really liked making the CYOA.

They're wrong. Nobody was crying 'sexist' in the sense of the CYOA being wrong for women being raped, people were criticizing it for women being completely disadvantaged so there was no reason to play one unless you wanted to get raped. It was an unbalanced choice.

Doesn't really matter with what I was saying. The Author had a bigger bitch fit compared to the people who didn't like it and, even with other people wanting the CYOA to be completed, he stopped working on it to spite everyone.
I don't care if you make a fucking Zombie Shark Holocaust CYOA, if you stop making it when people are really liking it to spite someone else, you're a bitch.

Fair enough.

That presumes that it was ever intended to be finished. People care more about his edgy posts since they won't be finished, so he didn't finish them. Same as Quiet.

>Most authors would just keep on trucking through the dissent if they really liked making the CYOA.
The sad thing is, most wouldn't.
Your average author around here struggles to release something, just look at how many half-finished and sneak peeks we've seen that never got done.
There's also been a fair number who expected to be showered with praise, then vanish when they face the harsh reality of criticism on 4chan.
It's that rare handful that stick it out and truly see their work to the end, or at least care enough to revise it a few times or make adjustments.
It's why, regardless of what I may think about a particular cyoa, I'm still thankful that someone made the effort to create and post it.

Author, because I want to pilot giant robots.
Chicks dig giant robots.

You mean, spending all his time destroying some no name monsters to save a few people who would be reunited with their loved ones in Falconia anyway. Geez, what a good way to spend 300+ chapters!

>Also released an shit load of information to the general public of the multiverse first. Mass riots, civil unrest, they were too busy to stop me.
So you imply that you won't be just branded a conspiracy theorist and extremist by media which majority of normie public will belive? Do you imply that the global conspiracy don't have inflence over media and information delivery channels to cover up leaks?

Unironically just Madman's gift.
Bag of holding
Ring
Mystery box portal.
I'd just go on and adventure to Gensokyo, learn some cool magic (including how to go through the boarder to home, and maybe other worlds too), and relax.
The bag of holding is for stuff I might need in the beginning of my adventure. The ring just because, why not.
Alternatively I would choose any cyoa that lets my travel through any realm as I will. But I plan on accomplishing this in the above method anyway.
I don't care too much about the god powers or magical realm created by me stuff.
>>48181156
Is there any cyoa where mages and witches are not just people who can throw multicoloured orbs of light or control the elements? I'm talking real rituals, magecraft, alchemy, etc. ?
>>48191588
Multicolored lights are cooler than alchemy just like energy physics are cooler than pharmaceuticals. Your taste is shit t b h anon
>>48191360
I am implying that video footage and witnesses are more useful then you give them credit for.
hibishit here,
i'll drop a short cyoa every sunday from now on
>>48192167
Awesome! Can tomorrow's cyoa be about Obama's penis?
>>48188059
Thanks m8, to you and your m8. If you two need anymore info, you know where to find me.
>>48188275
>>48188350
Holy shit your the perfectpanic button.
>>48192186
You have brain problems
>>48192227
Someone said that he didn't like a CYOA because he was afraid of Obama's penis and I want you to trigger him.
