>Your predecessor passed on his title to you because he didn't want his schizo insane powerful daughter that he locked up in a basement to get it.>She is your enemy in one of the quests and wants to run your pockets because she believes it's all supposed to belong to her.Thoughts on this concept.
>>93130478
>>93130483>run your pockets¿?
>>93130485
>>93130499
>>93130492Pocket dimension, I think. It's a common premise and makes perfect sense in the context of anon's post.
>>93130408The jpgs of Planeswalker Rising are slightly higher quality. They were compressed by am anon to make the pdf . . .which is also slightly out of order.
>>93130508
>>93130504
>>93130492run your pockets - A term used to announce when someone wants to rob you. The full expression is "run or give me whatever is in your pockets" then it just became, "run your pockets".
>>93130483if she is waifu material fine otherwise shit
>>93130522
>>93130524Not everything about waifus. She wants to decapitate you because that is the only way for her to take the title and everything under it.

>>93130566
>>93130483I like it
Fixing God's Fuckups has the best magic system out of all NSFW cyoas I know. Even if things like Pantheon of Pleasure, Divine Trials and Isekai Form Toxic Eclipse are better in general.
>>93130483Why did he do this to me? What did i ever do to him to deserve his kid, an all powerful mage with more knowledge and power than me, a random muggle, to want me dead?
>>93130688You are strong. Allies gather around the strong. That is the only requirement for succession.
>>93130725>You are strongStand proud.
>>93130408>>93130508>>93130520I'm very sad that the supposed update to it never came out.
>>93130746I swear, someone really ought to just make a JJK cyoa at this point.
>>93130853JJK CYOA already exists and was posted on Reddit.
>>93130877I mean other than the interactive one that's literally just the jumpchain.
>>93130853There is some text-only one in mcyoag.
Dragonfall's companion system sucks because it requires you to sacrifice the points you'd otherwise use for personal power on allies (which can add to your power but lacks the appeal of it being *your* power); that places social leaning dragons below NEET dragons in term of power.You could have dedicated points for companions, but then you suffer from the opposite problem of social dragons having both the NEET dragons' power and also allies that can boost their strength and provide other services (connections, misc abilities, seggs).You could get rid of the wishes mechanic and have them be requests that you fulfill yourself, having you earn the companion after completion. but the wishes are actually a surprisingly interesting mechanic for someone like Tok to come up with.Any ideas?
>>93130939Don't care, stop talking about it, you are either Tok or trying to summon that faggot when we are having a relatively peaceful thread.
>>93130483can i segg the schizo cunny?

>>93131184>February when?you have to wait next year for that
>>93131240Newfren...
>>93131067>>93131090She's a grown woman.
>>93131356Worthless schizo then. I will just slaughter her.
>>93131184Twelve thousand years.
>>93131249something tells me you missed the joke
Ford Gods won.
>>93130483Sounds interesting, but I'd be interested if there was another resolution than just murdering her
>>93131447
>>93130853Someone said they would make one, but that was a year ago, and they only updated us once. Hope they come back like the avatar.
>>93131447There's no Fords in that image you retard.
>>93130418Didn't anyone even like the class (Fighting Style) of JRPG Traitor?
>>93130939I liked the Dragonfall companion system. Channeling some of (your) power through the wishes was an interesting mechanic to shape the setting. Made more sense in context, too, than just being asked what kind of world (you) found (yourself) in.
>>93132259It's always been the weak point of the cyoa. I enjoy how it describes the powers and how the different elements work, but they don't really add much to the story you are building. The game gives you so many points that you are likely to take half the powers available, meaning most of them will feel redundant and only there to fill slots, and some of them are simple and straight powers while others go on a poetic rant that both makes them look unbeatable by any heroic party while also not really explaining what they do.I can't fault people who simply decide to skip the power section.
>>93132356Would have been better if we'd been given a little more to spend on them. As it was I barely cared.
>>93132357Too bad we will never get a remake of JRPG Traitor because the author went and hero'd himself and we will never see him again,.
>>93132533is there... proof of this?
>>93132541He didn't actually kill himself, he just disappeared and left the CYOA in the state it is.
post yfw a cyoa is more than one page long
>Try to find the Naruto CYOA >Archive is just spammed with MCYOAG Naruto spamHoly fuck I hate them so much.
>>93132834I'm starved for choice but this is still a really interesting universe.
>>93130375I am reaching the companions part, I write about who they are and how can they be of use to the player, but I am missing something.
Would it benefit my CYOA if I included a page talking about the person you will be fighting in a quest? Nothing super detailed just relevant information and some people under them.
>>93133294Yes? How else am I supposed to know what I am getting into.
>>93133025This one?
>>93133184>meta
>>93133432Yes. This one had the companions. Thank you, fren.
We got any good wuxia cyoas?
>>93133812I wish.
Italics please remake Magi Case where nothing changes except names aren't as retarded
Does anyone remember a name of the cyoa where you embark on a transhuman self-ascension journey?You had to manage risk and finance with an element of randomness involved, lading to potential fail states should you be too greedy or unlucky.
>>93134919Sounds really shit. Was it the reddit one with green background and AI images? If not there is another one, I also don't remember the name but at least it means you did not dream it.

>>93135024Thank you very much, anon!
>weekend comes>threads are still dead
>>93135181>no OC>all discussions devolves into shitpostingThere is no reason to post.
>>93130375Posting my Shitpost Wizard OC again. I'm writing the another shitpost CYOA after I finish my shift at work. This time - I compiled some stuff based on typical shitposting on /a/ and /fit/.
>>93135461Thank you for OC!I choose Monster Fitness. Hopefully she has a house and some way to get food. I can't be dedicated to martial arts if I also have to keep working full-time
>>93135461I read this and made a build but I did not realize it was OC.
>>93135461>Monster FitnessBecause I want to be like a superhero.>Big Bouncy Beach BabeBecause her aura helps me better the world, and she sounds sweet.>Normalcy AuraBecause I don't want to avoid being harassed for being like a superhero.
>>93135461I like Convicted Sex Offender Preworkout, Monster Fitness and Gyaru Pussy. The first two will turn me into an immortal RAPE MUTANT (you bet I'm going to fuck monstergirl once I can beat her) and the third will make a me a sexual tyrannosaurus.
>>93135570Thanks!>>93135621It was also posted last time.>>93135654Honestly, I'd probably pick the same.>>93135798Yeah, I should have predicted these will be popular together.
>>93134230>Italics please remake Magi CaseThe Magi Case is receiving a redux version that will enhance the base CYOA with additional options, companions (reduced profile lengths too), and choices in terms of cases/quests for you to go on. I also learned that putting hidden cases (/things to investigate) in companion profiles was a wrong move and will make a secondary case (quest) list where you investigate things that are more individual / clan focused: Ager Civil War, Aozdou Murder Conspiracy, Blood Moon Incident under the Bathory Clan, etc.>where nothing changesNah. It's better for you guys if I do the above because I want to enhance your experience going through the CYOA, the way you make your builds, and ultimately decide what is your destiny after becoming involved in countless magical affairs as a special agent. Will you stay on the job to ascend to the top ranks to continue to help keep order in the world? Will you make a discovery of a lifetime and craft a new form of Magic? Will you retire and have a family? etc.Though the redux won't be out for awhile due to it not being on my release order. I really want to put out new content for you guys to enjoy. Hopefully I can even put out a nice short one or two pager today or tomorrow based around an idea I've been sitting on for awhile.
>>93136779Are you not playing elden ring italics?
>>93136779>I really want to put out new content for you guys to enjoy. Thank you!>Hopefully I can even put out a nice short one or two pager today or tomorrowA surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one
>>93136806>Are you not playing elden ring italics?Nah, I already beat the base game. I personally am not enthralled with Elden Ring, it was okay. I didn't pick up the DLC because I ended up getting spoiler'd, but the whole final boss relationship is sus. >>93136824>A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome oneIt's not going to be extremely deep, very classic here of your options go adventure like you would find in the early days of the general.
>>93136897>I didn't pick up the DLC because I ended up getting spoiler'd, but the whole final boss relationship is sus.>videogame that is about gameplay and not story>does not play it because of the barely existing storyHoly, so this is the power of autism.
>>93136897He keeps proving how retarded he is, how can people not see it.
>>93136958Elden Ring's gameplay was okay. So yeah, I needed something a little bit more to get me over the finish line.
Anyone got that Harbringer superhero cyoa?
>>93136958>videogame that is about gameplayDemon Souls 6 is so tiring though.When I made it to Irithyll DS3 without dying until I finally got punked by Sullyvan and his SUTANDO POWA the gameplay was stale.
>>93137378
>>93137389
>>93130375I'm still stuck at work, but I collected images for my new Shitpost Power CYOA, inspired partially by the actual shitposts from this site. I'd like to thank the anon from the previous thread for providing the sicko mode image. When I'm back from work, I'll add text and fix placements. Before that, what do you think about the idea of powers having clear drawbacks?
>>93137410>Before that, what do you think about the idea of powers having clear drawbacks?has been done before and it worked just try to not go overboard with the drawbacks
>>93137410>powers having clear drawbacksVery important reminder: the drawback is taken into consideration before the power. What you get doesn't matter if you have to be mindraped, for example.
>>93137410Drawbacks add a layer of depth to the choices, but like the other anons said you can't go crazy with drawbacks.
>>93137522define mindraped
>>93137522What's wrong with being mindraped? Like just walk it off, pussy.
>>93137378My preferred strategy is to just go Inventing, then get a companion with Power Amp so they can buff my power and I can create permanently stronger inventions.
>>93137542>>93137522>>93137497Thanks for suggestions. I kind of want to make the flaws to be the inherent part of each shitpost power. Sort of build in consequence and limit for each power and an inherent risk for those trying to abuse them.
>>93132560Actually, JRPGanon shifted over to the /trash thread, and started a lewd biomech cyoa called Otrera Bestia . . .then disappeared. He did say that his offline life was becoming very busy, and wasn't sure when he'd be able to write again.
>>93130408>>93130508so, am i the only one who is really worried about planeswalking in verses completely controlled by the golden god once i become a scholar? i mean, from my understanding even if a mentor where to planeswalk in those verses they will be completely fucked, with no way of getting out.possibly the only solution to that is doing what err did and become an outer god by killing one yourself, but im not sure if that would change anything.
>>93130375the only tankisa cyoa worth playing.
>>93137908Apparently there's an alliance between the Scholars and the Golden God, and the higher-ups trust it enough to offer the Golden God's thaumaturgy to rookies. So in the near term, I'm not worried about it.In the long term? That I worry about, as the Scholars and the Golden God have very different, and very strong, views on magic. I see the current arrangement as more enemy-of-my-enemy, than friendship.And even in the friendliest alliances, "accidents" happen.
>>93137908>The outer gods bad!>Then they sided with the biggest and strongest motherfucker outer god of them all that also is the biggest control freak in the multiverseit kinda grinds my gears a bit
>>93130408What's stopping me from taking a powerful power system like cultivation that can easily consume others for power and massacre worlds that are weaker than me?
>>93138050a million years of closed cultivation
>>93138050Bugman settings are incapable of existing
>>93138049The Golden God isn't the strongest overall, he's just the strongest in the region of reality that the Scholars claim as their turf. The cultists and the Yith probably have Outer Gods of equivalent strength anchoring their sections, too. Kind of like how everything in the solar system orbits the sun, while planets beyond just see our sun as just another star.(Not the author, but I picked his brain when he was still frequenting the thread.)
>>93138157ah
>>93137880>He did say that his offline life was becoming very busy, and wasn't sure when he'd be able to write again.Should have never got involved in crime.
>>93138201
>Finish writing all the options for CYOA>Hardest part is putting it all into PS with images to make a CYOA.Bruh.
>>93137880>Otrera BestiaSo he became just another be the troon shitposter. What a shame.
>>93138537I mean JRPG Traitor has a lot of bisexual companions.
>>93138537Join us and you'll never suffer from the oc drought again.
>>93138537>Be the troon shitposterThe cyoa is be the monster that fucks all the girls into a drooling mess with your dick how the fuck is that troon

So, my plan is to first go for a world which contain magic capable of instantly giving the caster entire degrees worth of knowledge, bypassing the need for studying. Then I'll learn that magic, form a bond with the world and just use that to complete the requirements. If it doesn't my build is geared towards living in the most comfortable world possible while I study. I'll also take my two immediate family members with me, and see if I can't get Alec to induct them into the organisation proper. Also also, I'll try to convince Riley to instead of gunning for immortality, focus on magic that'll make her life easier in the 'shithole'.
>>93138157>quite probably the strongest thing, period. >it dominates everything it touches>it keeps the center of the OMNIVERSE plain and nonmagicaleven it the lore page its reiterated he resides at the center of the omniverse.anon wtf are you talking about?
>>93138050every kind of magic scales down or up depending on the setting, also good luck cultivating for thousands of years to become more powerful in your verse while being a nobody in all the others, meanwhile bramor who learned planar magic not only is gonna be at the least at your same level on the verse you choose, but he is gonna beat your ass in every other verse
>>93133432Even has the companions, holy kino. I hate the author so much, when asked if they plan on porting the companion pages, they just said "use the old one", so now every time I do it, I take the drawbacks and bonuses twice, one from the current, one from the old. If they didn't want me to just "use the old one", they wouldn't be so damn lazy, and I dunno about you guys, but I'm ok with getting ninja aids twice if it means I become basically a god, even if I drop dead at 22.
>>93130950 just don't understand why Tok is incapable of moving past that shitshow. So nobody liked it, big deal. Goddamn, stop samefagging, it's pathetic.
Rolled 13, 3, 8, 7, 1 = 32 (5d15)>>93132357This has always put me off making a build. But I'm going to go ahead and finally throw together a 'narrative' only build. Because like you said, it's an excellent fantasy life generator.>>93130418Sex: MaleAge: AdultRace: HumanFighting Style: Spirit TalkerPerk: PopularRollan for team.
>>93130408I think this is the cyoa that got me to actually look into MtG lore and start reading the books.
>>93139357Why the fuck do you even need ninja aids twice? Just go for Perfect Integration (super cheap with perks) and/or Mad Science.

Just like in my JRPG's!Overlord: Tagus, The Beast of SlidAgain, not what I would have picked but thinking about it it goes well with my Spirit Talker class, the fact the party has an airship and that the loyalty mission is the destruction of Sidith, where at least one party member is from.The next few sections are broken down in to a choice of 6 or twelve so I'm going to just roll a bunch of d12's. Will probably finish the build and a bit of a story later.
>>93139357The author is a known hack who didn't even try to separate canon companions from fanon companions or expanding on them.
>>93130939I like the coompanion system. I don't mind sacrificing points for allies. My main complaint is that their powers are not properly explained. Making it difficult to make satisfying choices instead of relying on head canon.>but the wishes are actually a surprisingly interesting mechanicagree
>>93130939generally speaking separating companion points with power point tends to be a better mechanic, at the least for me, the main problem in dragonfall(and in many other tok cyoas) is the cost, for example, meili costs 3 urembers, i could have used those 3 urembers to buy the tier 1 crawls update.
>>93139180According to the author, that was just what the Scholars tell the rookies. In reality, the Scholars are one of the three great planeswalking factions, with the Yith and the Lovecraftian cultists (partially sponsored by Yog-sothoth) existing in a cold war dynamic. The Scholars have most - maybe all - of the human universes (and lesser human planeswalking factions) in their sphere of influence. But that's hardly the whole of the multiverse, with the other two controlling vast stretches, too.It wasn't really relevant to the cyoa, as only the Prodigal trainees have a chance to go beyond the universes that the Scholars control. However the author and his friends are (or maybe were) running a GURPS tabletop rpg in the same setting, and so they've fleshed it out quite thoroughly.
>>93140199
>>93140206
>>93140199I'd serve Yogsothoth if he gave me a Gazer waifu. Anyway I was planning on doing a build for this but I keep losing my motivation, especially when I keep running out of points. I had to ditch all the Planar Magic because I already picked runes but I'm still 20 BP over budget.

(1/2)
>>93140789So the Computer Brain combo is Memory, Processing Power, Focus and Parallel Thought, allowing me to both learn and solve problems at ridiculous speeds while making sure I remember everything I pick up. My plan is to find a way to augment my processing power to the point of a AI takeoff (probably through magitechnological means) and then reach singularity with access to planeswalking, planar runes and a pocket dimension. Thereafter I'll keep my computational substrate in my pocket dimension as a Matrioshka Brain while forking off about a hundred instances of myself to learn 100 subjects at once. I'll send a fork to the University to learn everything I can (breaking all the failsafes the University has on me will be part of this), another fork to bargain with Yog Sothoth for a Gazer waifu, and the rest of me will build a stellar civilization to safeguard my intelligence, enshrine my knowledge, and research stuff to annihilate everyone who tries to take me down. I'll get to the point where I can have forks just passively adding to my knowledge base.(2/2)

>>93137378>>93137598Any superhero/psionic themed CYOA specifically about finding synergies?
>>93140199i feel like you are confusing planeswalker rising with the wanderer of broken worlds cyoa, all i remember ahs saying is that they exist and also that the scholar are at war with the elder things who control a small cluster of verses, but that's it, he mentioned humans being a sort of constant in the omniverse since there is a platonic form of humans.
>>93130683It's pretty good. I kind of feel like some of those fuckhuge NSFW CYOAs are better than worksafe CYOAs, and for reasons unrelated to the NSFW aspects. Like, Divine Trials or Pantheon of Pleasure are pretty great in terms of tone and narration.
>>93141278The writing on this is pretty difficult to parse through, please proofread it next time. The design is alright but the writing really needs some heavy work.
>>93130683post it
>>93130683HOLY FUCK IT'S MASSIVE. There's no way it's not insanely bloated.
>>93140199>>93142205here are the exact quotes by ahs:>There are true Elder Things and false Elder things. The true Elder Things are an ancient race of outer god-bound planeswalkers but other outer gods create universal-level imitations of them and their enduring presence itself can create similar, but lesser, entities in universes with a strong outer god influence. You will never meet the former before going to the Citadel and you will likely never meet them afterwards either. They will attempt to kill Scholars on sight and are very often successful. You will not meet the latter unless you choose Tal as a mentor or otherwise choose to fight them.and>It's not so much of a disservice as a sad reality of planeswalker groups. The vast majority of them are cultist groups attached to one outer god or another, as the easiest way by far to get out of a universe is to be helped out by something already outside of it. Just like the Yith, the Elder Things are servants of an outer god. Fortunately for them, they have far more independence than the Yith or the vast array of cultist groups, but they are severely limited in their planeswalking by the nature of their planeswalking method.https://desuarchive.org/tg/thread/76324262/#q76328553so the anon here >>93140716 can give up on his gazer waifu, also taking all the mentors feels like a very bad plan for a prodigial, you will run around doing errand all the time
>>93142301No choice, need to pay off all the crap I took. Unless I can sell off Demiplane and Soulbind Item, but those seem really useful.Anyway this multiverse without Gazer waifus sucks, I'm going to make one.

>>93143568I think he's one of the few people that actually handed Duck a defeat.Looking forward to how DUck screws Locust over, personally.
>>93143579Since Locust already monologued his motives to Duck, he's probably already planning something. I look forwards to it, also excited to see 10mei get involved in the plot

What Quantic Double does is that it lets me deploy extra pyromancers; my shadow clone now becomes two shadow clones and I can send one my Quantic Double to support them. Since I share a mind with the double, it also lets me personally keep an eye on things.In general, our hero has a personal army with multiple commanders, along with defensive and direct attack powers. The Sentient Double in particular allows him to operate from complete safety and wreak havoc, while Soul Capture lets him yoink useful powers and add them to his collection.

I already announced I was going to put out some short OC.>>93142437Well, I'm glad you liked it. I sort-of wanted to do some more wuxia stuff since inventing the Meirin Clan in the Magi Case.

>>93144383>I haven't seen much of the muppets, but I see how you can think that at a first glance.When I first saw it I got reminded of Dark Crystal and Labyrinth more than Muppets for some reason.

Get ambushed? Order the ambushers to kill each other. Restructuring is straight up overpowered and can be used to turn even the staunchest enemy into a steadfast ally if I can look at them for a minute. Contact is there to keep in touch with allies, especially since it is implied the link never breaks unless dismissed. Senses Hacking and Scrying allows me to permanently see through their eyes if needed, which allows me to be forewarned of any danger. If Impulse or Restructuring can be used while looking through someone else's eyes, they're even more broken, and I don't see why they couldn't.>The RevelationDepends on the Facility, who cares.>Your DecisionEscape>Gettting OutTeamwork>ComplicationsCommunication is Compromised, Men in Black, Black Ops Soldiers>The PlanFight!

Let me run around and get into scrapes. That's where I'm comfortable, and I won't feel pressured to reveal my full power.
>>93144858>>93145882Remarkably similar builds that seem to mostly neutralize each other. The second has the obvious advantage of superhuman strength, but I feel the first would still get the upper hand thanks to much stronger Mind Reading (unrestricted by eye contact) and being able to largely operate at a distance by scrying through proxies.
>>93145882Also the lack of discretion tier 2 means this build would not have been able to influence Foundation staff in any significant way without having been noticed, so the backstory about the Esper powers remaining a secret just doesn't work.
>>93146066The nosebleed shows up only when I use my powers in 'longer than usual or in a more power form'.So only when I'm surfing or restructuring basically. And I only have to make sure I'm not doing it in fully view of everyone.
>>93146091Restructuring would still be noticed, though. Sure, Miss Swayze probably loves you at this point and would think little of her favorite student having mind control powers, but without Memory Crafting, you can't alter her memory of the nosebleed. She might feel disinclined to talk about it, of course, but it's pretty naive to think that in a place where Espers exist, Faculty staff would not regularly get mind-read by their colleagues.
>>93146091>>93146132I have to say though, now that I think about it, just add Memory Crafting and that's a really sneaky build against anyone who doesn't have Defence tier 3.
>>93146132I think committing to not really using restructuring outside a few specific instances throughout my life is enough justification to come up with that advantage for myself.A nosebleed is a purely visible tell after all, somebody has to look at you before you've got the chance to wipe your nose. If I'm alone with someone and looking at the back of their head, if they're sleeping, if I've got another excuse to be using my powers, I've got some wriggle room.
>>93145882>I'll join the multiplayer if there is one.Kek, I'm making a multiplayer just because of this.
>>93145882>>>/mcyoag/
Why don't you fucking multiplayerfags go back to your containment general.
>>93146196Fair enough, the sleeping clause included in Restructuring does make its secret use plausible after all. Still, discretion tier 2 would probably be a good idea, especially since you took responsibility tier 1 despite not really needing it.
If your around, could the anon with the goddess OC and yt channel with christ-rock & latin hymns post their channel link?I've got an earworm from one of the videos I can't quite remember from the old 'beautiful palestine' poem-song
>>93142003Only CYOA I can think of that really is focused on synergies is interactive; minor powers CYOA.https://worm-cluster.neocities.org/Minor%20Powers%20CYOA/viewerPretty basic in execution but more thought than most power pickers have. Only glaring problem other than being the most uninteresting thing in the universe to look at besides Planeswalker is that the isekai world options it gives are just outright weird. A bunch of them just don't make any sense at all as options for an 'isekai with powers' situation.

>>93147423Anon, overcoming the obviously rigged tournament and killing the hidden sect assassin they send after you who invariably underestimate you because they fail to see mount Tai is a mandatory part of the genre.
>>93147498That's the part meant to make you think you're safe because you "solved" their trap. The real trap is all the orthodox sect masters attacking you at the same time the moment you win and are exhausted from the final fight. There's no way they would just let you challenge them and be on top. The entire point of the tournament is to bait out strong outsiders to eliminate the threat they pose.

>>93149124It's wuxia. Too low level for anything like that.
>>93149152THat's exactly how wuxia works though. In Wandering Sword, the MC grows up in a shitty sandy town much like the Western region, but meets a girl from an orthodox sect and they spend the night together, then he grows up, joins Wudang, runs into her again, masters the Wind and Cloud Sutra and defeats his former classmate who turned evil. It is also possible for him to romance the head of the Nanjiang Poison Sect, the Fire Sect at the same time as his childhood friend.https://store.steampowered.com/app/1876890/_/?l=schinese
>>93149252He didn't grow up in the western region, he was a literal escort who had to travel through it on a job. His master's daughter also gets kidnapped starting his journey.
>>93149319He did though, he just came back because it was part of the job. There's an entire sequence where he comes home and sees that all his relatives are dead and his home is in ruins. Also, it's not even his master's daughter, it's his savior's daughter and she's the head of the Nanjiang Poison SectAnyway, the idea is that wherever you start, fate will push you to where you need to be, and what's important is striving to go as high as possible.

Alyiele? If anything, this decision's harder. Alyiele being a mentor helps get practical lessons that aren't "worldly advice" without being beholden to her approval, and Enalin has a ton of specialty knowledge about interconnected life and how cool dragons are. Half the rest are options for the third.A conservative year+ in our world (pinkie promise not a shadow don't get me philosophical) should help me get a handle on things, and then I'll make progress learning normal studies while I try and get a practical view on horseshit like Agnostic Thaumaturgy As A Concept and Processes Behind Interplanar Mirroring (Seriously Why Are There So Many Humans)?

Besides T*k and EntropistAnon (pbuh), are there any CYOA authors who peaked with their first creation?

Italics here. I have some short general questions. In an update to the Magi Case what kind of items would you like to see more to have in your inventory? How do you feel about self-made companions with their own unique feats?
>>93155439Shit.
>>93155439>what kind of items would you like to see more to have in your inventory?Relics.>>93155439>How do you feel about self-made companions with their own unique feats?Bad idea. Companions with premade lore is so much better.
>>93155439Auctor-killing superweapons.
>>93155439The Liber Juratis.
>>93155439Pets!
>>93155439>>93155712Like that anon said, maybe an artificial relic made by magi experimenting on those known.
>>93155712Shut up, Italics.
>>93155712>Relics.Acquiring a Holy Relic is already an option. I meant something interesting, magical, etc.>>93155815Familiars are already a sub-section.

>>93155238Tol's first cyoa was Nemesis, which lets the user make any cyoa into a PvP situation.
>>93155188Well, Sockminster never finished his second cyoa (Fairy King), nor did DTA/Shirley (Tome-fu)We've got a lot of one-hit wonders, though, who never got that far. The author of Fulcrum is a good example. Supposedly he said that since his first cyoa broke out so big, he didn't want to try and top it.
>>93156488>try and top itWhat a egoistical fag. CYOAs aren't something meant to be made to top. You're supposed to make it for fun.
>>93155439Well, think of what would be useful to a a.magical cop. How about something like the slightly psychic paper from Dr Who, that proclaims its holder a cop with the appropriate jurisdiction? Or a neutralizer, to wipe muggle memories? Or a magic analyzer that can compare a spell to a person's personal magic, sort of like fingerprinting?And you write pretty interesting companions, Italics. I'm not sure rules for custom built ones are the way to go.
>>93154378>MentorsWhy not take both Enalin and Alyiele? Learn how to handle nature AND society like a pro? It would knock some more Requirement Points off, too, helping you finish faster, or provide a cushion to pick up another Connection or an Advisor.Also, since you're going so heavy into magic theory, why aren't you taking Notola, the magic theory teacher? Or Err, the brilliant ne'er-do-well who keeps rewriting magic theory with his stunts?
>>93156460Fun fact: He spams all his image builds as a stealth promotion for Nemesis.
>>93156460tok is a metafag?

>>93156659Because the Prodigal notes suggest that two mentors is a good balance for pragmatic personal development as well, even if I don't thaumaturge my way into the academy with my way even further barred.Plus I'm enough of an attention seeker to REALLY not wanna commit to needing Alyiele's approval... and I did mention half the other mentors being worthwhile teachers, so mentioning two of the ffukn ten valid options (math at the core of human experience? That's combining runes and thaumaturgy!) is mostly just pointing out the things I assumed was obvious.
