Stand proud, Anon. You were strong.
A tad early I'd say, but here we are:https://imgchest.com/p/n87wvgbv34xI will now make a "villain" build and invite any anon(s) to devise a build to bring him down, take his power, whatever. half baked prompt so if anyone else has an idea feel free to share yours
Anyone have a good sword and sorcery CYOA to recommend? The more Frazetta, the better.
>>93109855>Anyone have a good sword and sorcery CYOA to recommend? The more Frazetta, the better.Okay
>>93109823>I will now make a "villain" build and invite any anon(s) to devise a build to bring him down, take his power, whatever. half baked prompt so if anyone else has an idea feel free to share yoursShit cyoa for this. Something like picrel would be better suited.

>>93109877Harry Potter is possibly the most potent combination of gay/played out in CYOA history. Refer to /mcyoag/ for evidence of this. Still, if you choose to persist it will liven up the thread, so be my guest

>>93109855>The more Frazetta, the better.Wasn't there one recent fantasy cyoa where the author specifically said he was trying to capture a Frazetta feel?
>>93110061
>>93109934you're right, I really should have thought this through... not only is the CYOA unfit for the prompt, I am basically too lazy to fulfill my pledge. I will still post the skeleton of the build here though, so DON'T EVEN SWEAT IT GANG! simply take this as an opportunity to contemplate the alpenglow of this towering, sublime CYOA>>93110029I read the books a million times as a kid, I'm not ragging on people for enjoying it. I just think a lot of fans could probably stand to move on from what is essentially a formulaic children's series, and while this CYOA is well done, it suffers from the same basic, boring nature. It has also been beaten to death in the other general and to a lesser extent this one, which is my main gripe with starting discussion around it here

>>93107335I see. Well, thanks for the offer.>>93106540>>93106336>What do you plan on actually doing to make it our adventure and make us immerse in the world? What choices?I decided to include multiple subsections to the CYOA to help with immersion and helping you guys to write out your characters. Impact Events - Scenarios that have impacted the Player Character in a personal matter and can influence their standing and life. There is over 30 options right now and they all ranges in how they impact you. For a few examples: You can have something like "Materialization of the Body" and become a cyborg (officially) thanks to the Ford Clan, "Patriarch of the Family" so you are now the head of your family or one who you joined via "Adopted Family", "Internalized Leylines Subject" where you can acquire internalized leylines after being experimented on, True Love - where you found true love and can pierce all the marriage condition for characters except being the opposite sex, etc.Investigator Role - Your personal belief surrounding the existence of Magic and the reason why you became a Magi Investigator for the Bureau. You have something going from Sacrifice believing yourself as a Hero having to throw yourself at danger to save others to Apathy where you think you are a cog in a great wheel working to suppress Magic because that is what you are to do. Inquisitor to unravel the truth behind the existence of Magic and trace it back to its source. Etc. (1/2)
>>93110480Complications - Personal affairs and ills that impact you negatively, but rewards you with extra options to take. This can range from something like Indifference where the job of an Investigator is numbing you to the activities of the greater world and you no longer respond like a normal person would. To Inheritance where you have to compete with rival family members to earn your spot and who try to sabotage your work as an Investigator. Malformation where certain options/clans turn you into a monster like Hunde or Tycho. Person where you develop a second personality and become a schizo. Family Role - Where you sit in your family's hierarchy ranging from an Exile with no contact, to an Outcast only called upon for certain events and needs. A Senior entrusted with special duties to being an Elder, Patriarch, and even the Ancestor founder of the family. Magic Education - To determine how you learned to use your Clan's Magic and how you come to develop your spells and use Magic in general which feature their own benefits and drawbacks. You have Traditional where you learned things the old slow-and-steady way, Foundational which uses shortcuts and new modern concepts to circumvent the old learnings difficulty curve, and Indecorous where you just make shit up on the spot or find a way to copy what you see without being learned like the other two.So these are the main 5 sub-systems, I plan on using for Redux to help you guys flesh out your builds and be more in-tune with world. >How do plan on fixing the magic system so it's not all make-up your own spells?The magic system will remain free-form, but there will possibly be a label for what can a Basic version of the Magic can do versus Advance and Master.(2/)
>>93110495>Indifference where the job of an Investigator is numbing you to the activities of the greater world and you no longer respond like a normal person would>identity deathI thought you've been making cyoas for long enough to know how absolutely retarded this is.
>>93110534That's not what identity death is and Indifference as a complication is different. You can watch a man get his head get eaten off by a giant monster and the normal response from a person would be "Holy shit" out of surprise to it happening suddenly, or fear and then running away to hide from danger, or even anger because they just killed a friend, etc. You take that complication, you just see a man get his head eaten off and it doesn't illicit a response from you. You know you should feel the emotion and know what the emotion should be/looks like if you were to do it, but you don't act it out and instead carry on like nothing happened at all. It takes a lot to bring out strong emotions for you.
>>93110534>Identity deathtf you talking about
>>93110593>changing personalityLiterally the definition of identity death.
>93110719>people cannot change due to stressful circumstances>trauma cannot affect you, lose your identity anyway>your experiences can't change youyou're so fucking retarded shitposter-kun
>>93110746Ok, kill yourself if you like.
>93110766thanks for "meaningful" contribution to the discussion and a free (you)
>>93110495As a newfag, I doubted it when I saw people say so, but italics is indeed a shitposter.
The defense force is back again I see, no matter how retarded the author is being.
>>93110719>>93110801>>93110821Confirmed shitposters
>>93110867Most authors are yes.
Why is Tok so scared of death he always needs "immortality options" and Italics just expects us to casually accept ego death? Why do their CYOA's both suck so hard also? Why can't they just make good, one page long CYOA's?
>>93110913>Ego deathBeing less emotionally responsive doesn't mean your ego died. You are still You, just like when you get rage mad, You are still You.
>>93110937Doesn't magi case specify that you are transfered to another person's body in the magi case universe and their memories and personality overwrite yours?
>>93110958>Doesn't magi case specify that you are transfered to another person's body in the magi case universe and their memories and personality overwrite yours?No. Where did you get this?
>>93110937Taking away the option to ever not be mad however makes you not you. The ability to fluctuate between emotional states is also a part of you, taking that away is ego death.
>>93110968>Taking away the option to ever not be mad1. That's not what happening though, so why bring it up?>>93110593>It takes a lot to bring out strong emotions for you.>taking that away is ego death.Being stuck in a state of indifference is not ego death. People that are depressed do not experience ego death. A person that is high as a kite 24/7 do not experience ego death being high all of the time or when coming down. There are full-on apathetic people in the world that don't feel too strongly about anything and they are perfectly fine still being themselves and living their life. Ego death is complete loss of one's identity and self, something not capable of in real life without complete amnesia (Something that is astronomically rare at 0.2%).
>>93111013*Complete amnesia, being a legit schizo, or doing hardcore drugs you turn your brain to mush.
>>93110963I heard it here at some point before it finally came out I think, idk I've never actually read magi case.
>>93111067There is no isekai in the CYOA, you are just born like any other person in the Magi Case universe. Magi Case universe is just like the Resident Evil games for example.
>>93111013>Ego death is complete loss of one's identity and selfno, any forceful modification is ego death
i wonder if shitposters are so obsessed that they're samefagging at each other, or you faggots are genuinely so retarded that you'll respond to awful bait
>>93111180Why is italics allowed to get away with this?
Having trouble coming up with monster powers. I need simple, low to mid power level abilities for monsters that hunt humans to have. The sort of horror creatures that you'd meet in a spooky forest or an abandoned building. What are some CYOAs that have that sort of thing? Or suggestions, if you have any.

choose
>>93111424NTA, but if I had to guess, Perception Filter is a form of invisibility similar to the Not My Problem field. Causes bystanders and mundane authorities to ignore the monster, regardless of how flagrant it's actions are. Retardation Field probably suppresses the ability of targets to see easy ways to escape or get help. Think of all the stupid decisions people make in horror movies - that kind of stuff.

What's the minimum amount of illustrations needed to make a complete image build?
>>93112570One. But unironically. A good minimum is about 3, you just need to capture your character, the main thing you are going to do, and the end of your adventure area.

Italics - since you're reworking Magi Case in Redux, can I request a slight tweak? The way you phrased the clan descriptions has a grammar error in it.You introduced each clan in the basic format "The X bloodline was the Nth Clan founded by (insert founder name)." There needs to be punctuation: a comma/hyphen/etc . . . after "Clan", or else you're saying that the founder established multiple clans.
>>93112825The presentation is already changed, no need to worry.
Why haven't there been any really good cyoas released this year? There were some alright ones amidst the slop, but nothing that really stands out.

>>93113175I like it due to the extensive quest section.
>>93113175Consider suicide
>>93113175Witch Awaking was made by someone who didn't understand the point of the original Witch and seemingly went in the complete opposite direction at full speed. If you like it, good for you but they are not comparable.However, Witch is the best one-pager I've seen.

>>93113175>power capWhat is this shit? How the fuck does something like an academic or warlock have a power cap? Is there a lore mental block or something preventing patrons from gifting more power?
>>93113175It's trash on an embarrassing level. All that effort for nothing. It contrasts with the simple elegance of the OG cyoa, he jusy couldn't get it. The author is just not talented enough to make anything decent no matter how hard he tries.
>>93113175>no narrative, it's just make a new body, power fantasy, "cozy" home bullshit>all numbers and stats except point costs are arbitrary>Tok tastes in graphics>point tax to be maleWhen is June over, I'm sick of gay shit like this and Hairy Pooper MCYOA outside their containment threads
What are the new ocs recently?
>>93113773It's the retardation field mentioned earlier in this thread, minus the whole field part. You gain it for free if you make a build.
>>93113175Agreed, it's much more fun and engaging.
>>93113175>can enact genocide on an unimaginable level>can torture innocent people for all eternity>can trick and condemn the souls of children to literal hell>but love potions are banned because they're immoralIs this related to PR? Did AHS make this?
>>93113175I hate OutrageousBears so much
>>93114059Nobody knows.
>>93114059We live in post-OC era where no-one posts OC.
>>93113175Why does this read like BTGslop but for people who want to play good magic CYOAs and undergo trannification? Even the actual BTG CYOAs are better, despite being made by a notorious yurifag fatty.>>93114326Sylen recently finished his dishonored-inspired CYOA that got like a single build and was ignored by this general entirely. In complaints, I remember people crying about the wishes you can get for finishing a Silver Goal, and their typical shitposting tactics like "ego death".
>>93114353Which one, Viz Volaire?
>>93114367That one. I thought it was pretty cool.
>>93114238>but love potions are banned because they're immoralWhere does it say that?
>>93114353>that got like a single build and was ignored by this general entirelyWhat the fuck is this historical revisionism?
>>93114754True, there was more than one build. But it had no staying power and only generated retarded arguments.
>>93115085Hyper Metabolism, Perfect Memory, Energetic, UnderstandingHyper Metabolism is op as fuck.
>>93113175Ironically this version would really benefit from its own redux. All the arbitrary rules and qualifiers on every option make it a huge hassle to play and turns any optimized builds into samey gigantic shopping-lists with no personality.Cut out or simplify all the rules and mechanics, rebalance point costs so high ranking stuff is costly rather than something you need to qualify for, remove messy options (like hybridize and stuff linking to other cyoas) that reward taking a bunch of thematically incoherent options. There's a really good cyoa is under there, somewhere.
What idea do you have for a short cyoa you'd like to see made?
>>93115632Something like this https://imgchest.com/p/6eyrw86x7pz would be cool.
>>93115153>pick 3>picks 4
>>93115969Read the whole cyoa. Understanding is the goal.
>>93115969I cleaned my room so Mom said I can have an extra power
>>93115085>>93115993>>93115997I choose all of the perks. I'm gonna benefit from every last one. I choose drowning resistant, inspiring, hidden mind, hale, virile, curious aura, hypergonadism, hyper metabolism, perfect memory, energetic, hoarder & fearless.Then I choose a normal life.
>>93114389I don't think it does, love potions are included under the alchemy section
>>93115302>stuff linking to other cyoasso true I fucking hate when people do that

>>93115066Who are 6 and 8? I don't recognize them.
>>931178968 is FEAR
CYOAs in which I get a loving wife and kids?
>>93117716What if I make you a one-pager? It won't be better, but I'll have 24 hours to make and post whatever I get done?
Which cyoa would you rather see:You are a disillusioned space colonist realizing the ultra capitalist company planet treats workers at a bare minimum. You choose how the hardship strengthens you and what tech you scavenge to beat them.Heavy metal cartoon inspired. You choose companions, weapons, and dinosaur mounts.Cozy bonsai tree where you choose what simple perks the tree gives you like time dilation while home, auto cleaning etc.Similar to above but a pocket knife with various unique tools, key that fits any lock, substance identifing probe, etc.
>>93118029last one a meta?
>>93117716You won't get an actual honest reply at least not from the complainer. The point of complaining is to feel superiority, they know any one pager they posted would get critiqued and then would lose they're higher than the rest status. The only way to retain alpha state is to like nothing and hate everything.
>>93118051>like nothing and hate everythingI'm pretty sure that's what we call "cringe" though.
>>93118029>Heavy metal cartoon inspiredThis.
>>93118029been a while since we had some metal
>>93118036Yes. You need to hide under the covers or else Sartre will eat you.>>931180291 > 3 = 4 > 2, in my opinion.
>>93118057So this adds another level to the current meta. One must never openly like anything or be considered a beta slop eating redditor, yet one must post or you build up no prestige, the one must Post in a obfuscated way that doesn't reveal that your actual inherent strategy is to never like anything I just vaguely alluding to things that are better without actually picking a specific one
>>93118029>You are a disillusioned space colonist realizing the ultra capitalist company planet treats workers at a bare minimum. You choose how the hardship strengthens you and what tech you scavenge to beat them.Sounds like commie/socialist dick sucking. No.>Heavy metal cartoon inspired. You choose companions, weapons, and dinosaur mounts.Sounds like ass.>Cozy bonsai tree where you choose what simple perks the tree gives you like time dilation while home, auto cleaning etc.Best option presented out of the group, but more for Reddit.

People are treating discussion as pointless face-saving meta-game on even an anonymous website where there is no face to save.
I am completely honest when I say that a cyoa is bad. If you disaggree with me then I am just sorry you have shit taste.
>>93119169>Being shat on for something you worked hard on even less so. Skill issue.
>>93118163When has Witch Awakening or Dragonfall been shit on? Those two CYOAs get wanked to high heaven (especially Dragonfall since 60% of the people posting about it is himself.).
>>93117716I like this one better as the magic is less restricted.>>93119583There are a bunch of people shitting on WA in this very thread. And I remember how bad the reaction was
>>93119573Indeed. What skillful people do is not make cyoas and that's what I do now.

Why does CYOA development take so long?
>>93119950Are you retarded
>>93119989Do you know where you are?
>>93120191A place of intellectuals like physicsfag?
>>93119950CYOAs in puretext can be anywhere from 90 to 150 pages long, and that's for a cyoa of modest size. A long, in-depth CYOA can take over a year of consistent daily writing and planning to complete. The only reason people take OC for granted is because they've never made one.
I'm thinking of making a one-pager inspired by The Village CYOA but it includes a wife option.

>>93109877Feels like the best play under most circumstances is always to become the best Felix potion brewer you can, and also learn how to make new spells with as many supporting modifiers as you can. With the luck buff to cushion the odds of failure, you're going to become your own school of magic, unrestricted by what's already known and largely unpredictable to opponents.
>>93119113would take as a companion tier build
Hello there, thread. It's been a while since I had anything to show. Unfortunately, I dunno when Cosmic Lily's gonna really strike the right mood again, but I decided to take a portion of its concept and flesh it out into its own thing as a smaller, simpler, way fucking hornier TSF/TG-centric CYOA.I have not felt this way in years. I'm cooking, and I'm cooking fast as hell, honestly. I made this in two days (which is fast for me pls do not bulli).Anyway, this is just a WIP of the first page, which is obviously subject to change and doesn't actually include most of the titillating stuff. I'd just like feedback on the concept and suggestions for magical girls you might like to see put into the list. General concepts. Not "pls put in Madoka" (even though I might do that). Non-standard stuff highly welcome, too, because "masturbating makes your tits bigger" is an obvious choice.General format of the cyoa is planned to be:>Choose a country>Choose a girl('s panties)>Choose modifiers>Choose bonuses/drawbacksand if you want a TLDR of the CYOA it'd be something like "You buy used panties from a magical girl, put them on, and do challenges to become more of a hot anime babe over the course of a month in a near-future world where magical girls are ubiquitous."So, I am finally heeding the age-old advice of "Keep It Simple, Stupid." Anywho, let me know what you think, thread, while I go off and make myself some salmon for dinner.

>>93121876Easily Elf, most of the others are either dogshit filler with nonsensical mana regen or so broken that it breaks the immersion.However as an elf supremacist I must admit that I'm slightly biased.Sylph, Empusa, Jotun, Undine, and Neutral are decent.Some of the others are cool, but taking Charge Swap is basically necessary to make them playable / not totally stupid. Some variety is good, but trying to give each race it's own quirky charge method just didn't work.

>>93121876Spider is easy infinite mana regen and has nigh infinite instant resurrections, but beast is a shit affinity. Empusa's mana dependent hp makes her nigh unkillable, has almost infinite 1 minute resurrections, and her affinities are good.

>>93121876The wulong, with all of their art powers, have always caught my eye. Haven't made a build to test them out, though.
>>93124066And speaking of art, I was always impressed by how much Outrageous Bears was able to find that I hadn't seen before.
>>93124066Wulong's revival is really good, Spider tier, but its mana regen is shit unless you consider pocket dimensions to be "in proximity", in which case it's Wulong is even better than Spider because mind is a good affinity.
>>93123935We could've had another active author but now all we have left is dead threads. Add all the other authors that left like that and the state of the general shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.
>>93124066I've never tried pdf CYOAs as they were too long for my taste, but this looks really interesting. Do you need to multipost to get your build fully posted?
Can I pick people's brains? I want to finish up a build for New Fairy Queen, but the fact that (you) generate fairies is throwing me. I'm just having a hard time picturing what fairies of some of the "darker" or more abstract elements would be like. What would blood, necromancy, gravity, and time fairies be like?(Bonus points if you can point me at an actual fairy from myth/legend that embodies them.)

Highlander came up with a TON of neat stuff to buy, but most of it's background stuff. Cool to know you have, but not necessary to tell others about.

Other generals have more interesting cryptids and trolls, you're just a generic consoomer nerd.
>>93124721Mom would. Checkmate!
>>93124731Dragonfall was so irrelevant, even she didn't make a build.
no oc is going to be made because the elden ring dlc is out and shitters like gil are probably masturbating to new fap material like erotically flowing swords Ranni lost btw (both her and her mom’s moons got stolen by some letter swapped meme character, devaluing their special mother-daughter dynamic, bravo)
>>93124889>shitters like gil are probably masturbating to new fap material like erotically flowing swordsBone of my sword
This is just what shitposters wanted and the reason why they shitposted entorpistanon out. They love when the thread is slow and dead so all the attention is on them shitposting.
Does anyone have the slave sale cyoa where a girl invites you to a hidden sale and is suddenly out on sale because she started talking too much shit/revealed that one of the slaves poisoned their previous master.
>>93124499Hatchling is a better dragon CYOA all round for something immersive, well-written and enjoyable.For coomerbait powerwank there's that interactive dragon CYOA. Dragon dance I think? Generic shitty dragon power fantasy which is still far better than dragonfall. I legit do not understand why dragonfall ever got any attention.

>>93126041Nobody should believe you. He does not want people to have fun and it's clear from the way he answers questions and the role he gives to the player as opposed to his special pet NPCs. The only shitposters here are the ones defending him and himself.

>>93126787Now list the actually most important people in the setting. Because the player is not that.
>>93126851NTA, but aren't you the most important by default in any world since your existence is a crossroads for timelines based on your choices?
>>93126892No. Especially not in italics cyoas.
>>93126935Why?
>>93126851Pokemon Personified: You, the Hero.Picking-A-Goddesss: You, Husband of GoddessesEchoes: You, End the Rebellion (Post-Story Yandere)Witches n' Inquisitions: You, the War Hero because you lead all the military's national events.Eternal Blue: You, You save the world from the Eternal Blue and establish relations with the Sea People.Order: You, because you overthrow Despot and reconnect the world.Regent: You, because all the Princesses are after you and the Demons only win if they get their Princess to marry you.The Magi Case: You, without you none of the mentioned events in the CYOA happen.

>>93127082There is more auctors that you could theoretically beat than not.
>>93127082Most of the auctors are sad retired people that won't impact anything unless you literally provoke an incident.
>>93124264Gigantic (pic related)>>93124439go to /cyoar/ and discuss eta-class
>>93127197You could beat all of the Auctors except Drac and Ostane. Even then, you can just take out your penis and Drac and Ostane would insta-lose to the cock, unironically. Ostane is GAY only for Drac, but will become heterosexual just for our penis.
>>93127278I can take Drac easy.
>>93127477In a fight, right?
>>93126787You are expecting a good faith argument from someone with crippling autism and NPD who takes successful CYOAs as narcisstic injuries. There are 2 (two) IPs criticizing Magi Case. One is too damaged to figure out a VPN, the other doesn't care enough because he'll probably get bored.>>93127278Drac is easier when you realize what Devil was too narrow-minded and obsessed to understand: there are ways to defeat someone without killing them.

>>93127497( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

>>93127935Nope.

>>93127923KINO
>>93127917You're allowed to do "anything you wish" by others. That's not infinite wishes.
>>93128050Any unwanted consequences of actions taken while the card is up are undone when the card goes, so you just make a wish while it's active and when it disappears you get the wish back.
>>93128082Is there another option that gives wishes?
>>93128111You can take Wandering Warrior and win the lamp with the other choice/s you get, or go down the Guardian Vessel rabbit hole.
God, I hate JRPG Traitor going full "It's all a dream, lmao." Ruins what is otherwise a good JRPG CYOA.
'Self insert' just means identifying with your character.
I have 7 antagonist options, is this enough?
>>93128326I'd win.
>>93128162You fucking idiot.
>>93128373He's right.
>>93128383Reality IS the dream it isn't a fucking dream that you or someone else is fucking dreaming. Do you whine on lovecraft mythos because azatoth is a thing?
>>93122055I'm bored, talk about this cyoa's lore.The fortress is the tower of BabelThe runaway comes from the villageWe are probably in hell?The serpent might be the one from the garden of Eden?
>>93128410OP. Yes. Azatoth is shit too.
>>93128596
>>93127874Huh, Live Free got nerfed. I remember it was one of my favorites in a much older version, but each change since has made it less appealing.I think I would currently be inclined to go with:Live Life, for maximal usage of time - the "no life extension" is almost an irrelevancy when virtually every other choice gives it, and you get three+ of them.Death Ward - a very strong choice, granting intrinsic near-perfect life protection and extension - I suppose a nuclear strike would probably be able to destroy the house and, thus, you, but outside of that, the entire thing being "as durable as the most durable material currently used," plus self-repair, means even a dedicated attempt to dismantle it would probably fail. Could grow the place into a true oasis.Third choice is mostly flavor...I suppose I miiight choose Divine Hope? It's actually one of the few options that allows self-improvement while still being pretty much human. The great downside of course is that it's restricted to real, adhered-to religions, none of which I quite accept even philosophically. If I could pick and choose there as I normally do, adopting the ideals of virtue and earnestness and what have you without the "absolute subjugation of will to a divine king" bit it would be much more palatable.It's odd that Shed Life allows you to pick fictional afterlives, while Divine Hope requires a real faith.
even trash general outlived us
>>93123963>SpiderWhich one is this?
>>93128715>even trash general outlived usWhat do you expect with niggers who spam off topic images.
>>93127573>One is too damaged to figure out a VPNI'm no Italics hater but I don't understand how others are able to VPN this site. 4chin always seems to know I'm using one. So I stopped trying.And this is not about being malicious. I am unduly affected by a rangeban that seems to be placed on my geographic area, and it all started when my dumbass phone service switched entirely to 5G and prevented me using LTE. As far as I can tell, I can't phonepost anymore, which is gonna suck when I release a CYOA and I can't answer questions when I'm at work
>>93129210fucking catniggers
>>93129110It’s in the loose assets in the last page.
>>93129290get a cheap vpn like mullvad, or become a mobile data chad and consistently change your IP within a tap of a buttonjannies are also not unreasonable, so simply try to appeal your ban if it was done for a retarded reason
>>93129321>mobile data tapYea that used to work for me. But since the 5G switch it won't work no matter how many times I reset it. Thank you for suggestion, though
>>93129356then ur really rangebanned lolvpn will seriously help with this, there are free alternatives, you can additionally try to set up a proxy for like $0.02do you know why you'd get banned, rangeban is pretty serious measure
>CYOA has characters talking and referencing things you never took as an option.Our response?
>>93128672Live Free is way stronger now since you get to ignore 'unwanted consequences.'
>>93129310I see
>>93129432We troll the author until he stops posting.
>>93129456>Live Free is way stronger now since you get to ignore 'unwanted consequences.'Pretty sure that phrasing, or something extremely similar, was always there.
>>93128596I can't help but wonder,If I chose the physical and mental attributes of my GF, How would she react to knowing it was because of me that she has ___ illness, etc?I presume the CYOA is about being with a real human being, and I wouldn't choose to be with a stupid person. She would find out something like that even if I tried to hide it, which I wouldn't
>>93129367I'm quite certain I'm not the one personally being banned. I think it's IPs in my region or something. I haven't done anything to merit a ban, myself.Usually when I got a ban notification when phoneposting, the following page would tell me "you did x or y" that I never did, and it was recorded to have happened at times I knew I wasn't on, or boards I've never been, post#s that weren't mine. That's when I would hit "Mobile data" and try again, and eventually I'd be able to post again.I believe the same problem as before is happening to me again, except because my phone service is retarded, I have no easy recourse anymore
>>93129493Nah, the original is only about social/legal consequences, harming other people. The closest you get is 'stunts you do generally work out as intended' which isn't really the same.
What CYOAs have a decent magic system? Or at least a decent power system. I'm asking for variety either in the amount of options, it being highly detailed for what it describes and what you can do, or just being in general unique and not what you see often in other CYOAs.
>>93129290This is the anon you replied to. I can't phonepost at work without a VPN because one of the engineers gets banned for posting his dick on /pol/ or just shitposting and trolling. I'll log on to post something about tabletop or cyoas and get a message saying I was banned and see something brazenly offensive about Americans failing math, not going to space anymore, or telling someone to suck his dick.I can't be mad at him though, he's hilarious and a great friend irl. Try the advice other anons gave.
>>93130056Seinaru Magecraft Girl's magic system felt complete, if a bit overdesigned.
>>93130056Entropist is very nice in that regard.
>>93130117I'm pretty sure portions of that CYOA ripped from Jujutsu Kaisen.
>>93130056Anything by 3_Tankista
>>93130056I like this one. Revelation specifically opens the door for so many funny shenanigans.
>>93130056Magi Case, but unironically. Open magic system where you are to be creative with what you can do with the topics.
>>93130262
>>93130056Blood Magic, JRPG Traitor, Entropist was good but a bit linearEvoker's Oath was an interesting concept but it needed more workI'm trying to remember some CYOA that had 6 or 8 elemental magics but actually had explanations about what happens when you combine them, not just some lazy "pay ten points extra and you can make water and earth into mud idk lmao" it was fun but the magic system wasn't the main point of it. I'm trying to find it, I'll post it when I do.
