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?

>>
>>93132259
It'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.

>Italics please remake Magi Case
The 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 changes
Nah. 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.

so, 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.

>>93137908
Apparently 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.

The 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.

According to the lore document you can specify not just words, but entire (single) concepts with Societal Traits. 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'.

Zana and Eve will probably get along great. Bringing out and reinforcing each others inner child. Also access to a skyship is pretty cool. Just like in my JRPG's!

Rollan for overlord.

Overlord: Tagus, The Beast of Slid

Again, 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.

The author is a known hack who didn't even try to separate canon companions from fanon companions or expanding on them.
>>
>>93130939
I 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 mechanic
agree
>>
>>93130939
generally 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.

According 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.

So 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.

Our hero was born a merchant in a harsh land, and when an unorthodox sect attacked his family, he awakened as the reincarnation of the Heavenly Demon and slaughtered them. Cue the Heroine, who comes to investigate and takes on our hero as her disciple. Gradually, even though our hero knows that he cannot possibly be with her, they fall in love with each other anyway. With an upcoming war on the horizon, it is time for the Demon King of Yan to make his reappearance, and for the Heroine to become his queen... or a kingslayer.

i 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.

HOLY FUCK IT'S MASSIVE. There's no way it's not insanely bloated.
>>
>>93140199
>>93142205
here 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.

>Battle Shadows M1 I1 (3)
>Legions M1 (3)
>Soul Capture M1 (4)
In total, I have one copy of myself with all my powers and both I and the shadow have 100 lesser shadows who are all at least human plus when it comes to fighting. And I can summon them all up at once. And they can use weapons. This doesn't include slain paranormal power users who have been soul captured by me.

>Absorption M1 (Fire) (1)
>Heat Generation M1 (1)
>Ignite M1 M2 (6)
>Pyromancy M1 I1 (6)
The full pyromancy suite including immunity to heat. Here's the fun thing, pyromancy does not have the "drains stamina completely" clause that lightning and cryomancy do, and it allows you to fly, create firewalls, fire golems, the like. And my shadow clone has it too.

>*Quantic Double M1 I1 (6)
The * means powers obtained through Potential. 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.

Puppeteering is not worth attracting the attention. Defense is needed in order not to fall prey to other Espers. The combination of Suggestion + Inducement + Impulse is very powerful, especially since Impulse doesn't seem to require line of sight . 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.

Absorption [3]

>Enhancement
Peak Body [2]

As far as the facility knows, my powers are superhuman strength and martial arts.
My supposed special reflexes are really just reading minds before sparring and gaining foreknowledge through that.
Miss Swayze can't know how much of her mind is my doing.

>Role
Field Agent
I'm not too ambitious, a higher position just means more scrutiny. 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
>>93145882
Remarkably 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.
>>
>>93145882
Also 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.
>>
>>93146066
The 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.
>>
>>93146091
Restructuring 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
>>93146132
I 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.

I 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.

>>93146196
Fair 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.

Only CYOA I can think of that really is focused on synergies is interactive; minor powers CYOA.

https://worm-cluster.neocities.org/Minor%20Powers%20CYOA/viewer

Pretty 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.

Anon, 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.
>>
>>93147498
That'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.

And this is the Mr. Incredible (meets Nightcrawler) build.

Codename: Fedora

>Awakening: Early
>Facility: The Center
Needed for Memories. Combat Training gives so many points that you'd be silly not to take them.
>Memories: Combat Training, Games
>Stats: Potential T2, Versatility T1
Needed to fully realize the build's power.
>Companions: Anton, Alice, Michael
All three of them ate the combative types, but Anton is the bro who'll help plan an escape, Alice is the one who'll try and change my mind, and Michael is the asshole who'll try to kill me no matter what.

Powera: MUTANT (leaving humanity behind)

>Insight M1 (1)
>Prescient Reflexes M1 (3)
>Battle Precognition M1 I1 I2 (6)
Reflexively dodge bullets with my augmented body, and Battle Precognition is basically Auto Combat from Dame Skill Auto Mode. It's especially nasty because I have Flash Step and Superstrength, which means I am Nightcrawler with Juggernaut's physical prowess.

>Organic Response M1 (1)
So I can both pleasure myself at will and supercharge my physical strength even more.

>Peak Body M1 (1)
>Metabolism M1 (1)
For toxin and disease immunity
>Muscle Density M1 I1 (2)
>Super Strength M1 (3)
Anon SMASH!
>Hyper Durability (3)
The required secondary power to make full use of Super Strength, and especially Organic Response-Boosted Super Strength.

>Jump M1 I2 (7)
>Flash Step M1 I1 (4)
The full Flash Step combo, allowing me to move rapidly between targets after unleashing superstrength slashes with a titanium katana ot something.
>Teleportation M1 (3)
Nobody will ever contain me.

>*Quantic Double M1 I1 (6)
Now there's two of me, the super strong, super tough, precognitive and teleporting me. This is a Potential power btw.

>Getting Out: Mass Breakout
Time for multiplayer!

>Complications: Police Activity, MIBs, Mobsters, Nemesis, Breach of Secrecy, The Inquisitors
Police, MIBs and Mobsters are obvious, Alice is obviously my Nemesis, and I'll have to beat her into submission. Hopefully defeat equals friendship. Michael will probably be part of the Inquisitors, and killing him will be one of the things my chap has thought long and hard about.

>What's The Plan Now?: Join Others

It's wuxia. Too low level for anything like that.
>>
>>93149152
THat'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
>>
>>93149252
He 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.
>>
>>93149319
He 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 Sect

Anyway, 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.

Verse of the Runemarked allows me to complement it with magical runes, allowing me to fill in the gaps that science can't currently fill. Having a computerized mind will also help me to research and innovate new and more powerful combinations of runes.

I wonder if it's possible to slink in even if the gates aren't open for non-Prodigals. Pie in the sky thoughts.

>Academic Freebies
Scrimping and saving in this section. Getting an Actual Demiplane(tm) was really tempting, but I can squeeze a LOT of synergy out of thirty points' worth of options.

>5 Respawns

>Self-Improvement 95
>Memory (Life?) 85
>Ontological Inertia 110r
>NMP Field (Dark) 120r
Useful effects that are hard to replicate but give significant benefit.

>Summon Food 80
>Heal (Nature) 75
>Detect Lies (Life) 70
>Soulbind Item (Blood) 60
>Planar Runes 50
Not getting mandatory spells for free is irritating, but they're pretty useful spells.

The main fudge I'd request: Tweak/refactor purchased options to work as the first spell for varying elements. Exclusively because I want to chew on more elements than I'll need.
>Life (Detect Lies; potentially look-don't-touch on Memory or Inertia) 45
Sensing how healthy minds/souls function is bar none the healthiest way to start learning this. Even if Parallel Thought would be more direct, and Craft Soul is glittery.
>Light (Clarity) 35
>Dark (NMP Field) 30
A thaumaturgical framing of light/dark as insight/concealment suggests that the University, a locus of insight into everything that's known, has a deep fundamental skew against the thaumaturgy of "not knowing." Worst case, dark adds oodles of style.
>Nature (Heal) 25
Another "look, then learn to touch" entry point. The other spells are nice, but heal is way more useful for the situations I'm weak in.
>Dimension (Extra Space) 15
Wildly useful, in every respect. Hooking this up to Pocket Space would get me even closer to building a ghetto Demiplane, but I'm stretched thin enough 5 points would need to strip my Light spell or something.
>>
>>93154343

>Blood (Soulbind Item) 10
Knowing how bind-item-to-person works lets me annex bigger items (or spaces) faster, and there's some absolute cheats buried here too. Layering this with runes, Nature, and Darkness can create some wild effects with a few basic skills. Hell, use this and Life to pervert your own soul """safely""".

>Advanced Runes 0
I'm mostly being lax because this is a guaranteed set of fundamentals. Proper runework can solve most problems Nature bulking can't, thaumaturgical advancement and magic synergy is ease and style points. Shame I can't take Read Book too.

>Burnout Prevention 130r
>Higher Learning 125r
>Making Progress 105r
Net positive, desu.

Fetrain, Sharpe, and Yiv were my picks back when, and they still seem fine. Internet buddies, blood magic ally.

>Alec
>Etrip
Nice balanced combination of books and worldly advice, and she can probably lend philosophy or interplanar-history-of-X-subject texts much more easily than "actual" magic.
>Advisors: Enalin, ??? 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)?

Well, 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?

Why 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.

Because 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.
