>>94224787Which domain would you pick if they have drawbacks?
>>94224795
>>94224801
>>94224806>>94224795*no drawbacksGoddamn it, why did I have to make a mistake there?

>>94222154How exactly does that image represent unity? It's just some guy walking toward a red glowy mechanical thing that looks half destroyed.
>>94224795>>94224811Even with drawbacks, I'd still go for Imagination. If you doubt your mental resilience, you can even go the extra mile and take Excellence as a secondary, then train your willpower and discipline.
>>94224795Still Imagination.>God Almighty; Creator; Maker; The Omnipotent and Omniscient>the hallmark of God is creationOn the more practical side, Imagination is by far the most versatile (and therefor the closest to omnipotence). Anything you can think of and have enough power for, you can conjure. There is no reason not to choose the path of God.
>>94224854Another case of the Homestuck CYOA being schizophrenic about whether or not it's a Homestuck CYOA. "Unity" is the renamed aspect of Blood, just "Freedom" is renamed Breath, and it's playing on the idea of being the Blood element, while hiding the connection with enough effort that it looks incoherent to people that don't know anything about Homestuck.
>>94224867>>94224921>Imagination is still the most popular...I have to salvage this discussion... It has potential...If Imagination is unavailable, what would you pick?
>>94224476How will we possibly know? Also, can one of you anons post Demon Conquest? I need to glean KNOWLEDGE from its crimson sheets but am currently busy making jerky!
>>94224941Assuming no drawbacks, then Void. Can't go wrong with stealth and overwhelming offense.>...I have to salvage this discussion... It has potential...I think the main reason why Imagination is so popular is that it's the only domain that doesn't directly interfere with your personality. All the other ones give you flaws directly to your character that are always persistent, but Imagination simply has a dangerous side effect with active misuse of its powers.
>>94224941Fate. If I cannot embark on the path of God right away, then at least I can be Fated to. I would pick Nature instead if it didn't have those dumb limitations because then it would set me on the path of God and be only slightly inferior to picking Imagination.>>94224984>the main reason why Imagination is so popular is that it's the only domain that doesn't directly interfere with your personalityIndeed. Of all things, those that warp the mind are the most terrifying and insidious.
>>94225008>Nature instead if it didn't have those dumb limitationsThough I do understand you from the perspective of your God larp, mortal shit is actually not very limiting... because it's shit. You're a demigod, so you NATURally should make divine items. Just make items with divinity instead of shitty mortal ones, it's that easy. Of course, you can't control mortal shit, that can't be bypassed, but when would you ever need to?
>>94225008>>94225091Wait a second, Nature says it can control fauna and flora. Are those not mortal?? Also, humans are included in fauna by definition. And what about other intelligent races? What counts as mortal, fauna, or flora?
>>94224984>I think the main reason why Imagination is so popularimagination is not popular, I take void every time.
>>94225163>II don't think you understand what "popular" means.
>>94225170I don't care what lessers take.
>>94224927I don't know anything about Homestuck but everything I have seen that has been influenced by it turns out to be extremely obnoxious one way or another.Fuck that shit.

>>94224795Excellence is pretty insane without the drawback, you can basically do anything if you're creative.
>>94226053The only problem is the other curses are worse
any upcoming oc to look out for?
>>94226088Hubris is one of the worst curses. There's a reason pride is always listed as the worst of the seven sins, it prevents you from realising you're doing something wrong and need to change.

>>94226122February...
>>94224795>>94224867>>94224941Imagination is my first choice, then body or Excellence if that's not available. I'd say ranked for me it's:Big Three>Imagination>Body>ExcellenceBad Three>Fate>Nature>VoidI've always really liked the whole 'illusions that become real if you believe hard enough' trope. And honestly it's gonna be pretty useful even starting out. Drop in somewhere dangerous? Make an illusion of a rock, hide inside the rock, done. Also the fun thing about Imagination is that if you are worried about it's drawback you can pick up Mia the psychic waifu. She'd be among my first choices anyway just because of the shared cultural background, but with telepathy she'd surely be able to help talk you down from an episode.Body's big concern is the drawback messing your personaliy over, but without that complete control of yourself is pretty great. Becoming a dragon the size of a mountain is on the table for example.Excellence might actually be the best power with flexibility matching or exceeding imagination, its just not my favourite. It basically turns you into a bullshit cultivator type who can do things like practice the blade so hard you can cut dimensions.The other three Fate, Nature and Void dont really appeal. Fate makes you a Path To Victory type which is strong, but you yourself are unchanged and don't actually have powers beyond that. Nature and Voud just feel too generic, vague and spread thin as powersets for me to get interested.
>>94226122has the ever ever been this never ever?
>>94226319>Void and nature bad because too vague>Imagination is ok
>>94224795NatureEmpathy is easy to work around/power through, plus the power is really useful on the Gaea planet, which I always pick because I like colonization/nation building themes
>>94224795Fate. Future sight and plot armor is op but what is even more op is writting fate. That's Allmighty level of opness
>>94226319>Fate makes you a Path To Victory type which is strong, but you yourself are unchanged and don't actually have powers beyond that>he will never imprison some poor fucker in an unending loop of personalized unluck>he will never rape thermodynamics and tell entropy to go fuck itself>he will never steal super advanced tech from a possible future to make a bunch of bullshit swords>he will never control evolution by manipulating random genetic mutationsIs this nigga for real?
>>94226662>Can write the future >This means that things like maxwell's demon are now viable in your hands:o
>>94226662By his logic. Imagination doesn't affect the body either and you don't have powers beyond illussion and creation of matter/energy.By his logic everything but body and excellence has that drawback.I always take Fate as principal, the drawback is every now and then and it's resistable. Future sight, insane luck and in a future literally writting Fate is final boss level of power
Every time I see the word 'fate" capitalized, I get triggered, due to my rampant hatred of all things Nasuverse related.
What would you like to see in a vampire CYOA? Mechanics? Often forgotten aspects of being a vampire? Sitting here and putting in my final touches, but I do feel that its missing something.
>>94226833tone it down to just contempt instead and you'll be fine
>>94226838I want to purge them with sunlight
>>94226833meds
>>94226833This is a consequence of Gil.
>>94226838I want a setting where everyone is either vampire, or humans serving as blood-cattle for the vampires; no free non-vampires exist, vampires have won completely.
>>94224795Excellence+Imagination are an instawin button. Sadly they have the worst drawbacks so you can't have one as the main one without being severely crippled in some way which is why Fate is still the best one.
>>94226916and you play as a non-vampire hero summoned to free the world?
>>94226942sounds retarded
>>94226941I would go Fate (main), Body and Void.Body enhances your body to ridiculous levels, lightspeed regeneration included. So good defense and offense and imitating life forms you can have utility like wings, poisons to a degree etc...Void is the main offense, is the opposite of Imagination. Imagination creates out of nothing, Void makes everything into nothing and is capable of draining enemies.Fate is the sweet rounder and is enhanced by the other two.Body and Void bring a lot of possibilities and Fate is the one that makes those possibilities a reality. You maybe don't have the possibility to win against a god with only fate, so fate can' help you beyond surviving, but with Body and Void suddently you do have the possibility to win because you have the strongest body and the strongest attack power. With that possibility now Fate can make your win guaranteed even if the god is still technically above you
>>94226942No, you're a vampire. Who would even summon a hero to fight vampires? There's only vampires and human cattle. The human cattle are strictly a resource, they don't "do things".In King of Dragon Pass, wealth was measured in cows, and all other kinds of wealth were considered proxy or inferior. It's the same, but with humans: conflict and trades between vampires largely revolve around human cattle. Perhaps some humans bred through specific lines of ancestry and brought up in a certain way have luxuriously tasteful bloods, and you can have a restaurant with different humans to drink from.
>>94226838Are doing something Vampire: The Masquerade, a more traditional vampire setting, or something else entirely? Choice of prey is a good one. Maybe track something like infamy/visibility if you are going for a masquerade like setting and these turn into enemy points (vampire hunters, big rival clans, werewolves, government agencies, etc)
>>94227000Agree to the dealThe village has ten shitloads of cows
>>94227027>just giving away your precious cows to wild animals who will eat themcuck
>>94227027>be Reynard the talking fox>need to get food for a banquet>haven’t done shit other than pranking people>last chance to prove I’m not a fuckup>see some hicks with a bunch of cows>”If you give me 25, you will have good luck!”>tfw they actually do itAnon, you just fell for the oldest trick in the book
>>94227021I was originally going to make an OG setting, but eventually had to come to terms with the fact that the setting I was making was far too similar to the Masquerade. Also, the main reason im making it is because I know the new game is going to disappoint me so bad, so I just gotta scratch that itch somehow. I still want to make it CYOA-like, and not just a glorified character creator for the setting.
>>94225506
>>94226838In-depth noob vampire section, what your first year was like and how it formed you as a child of the night.
>>94226504Imagination is a single power that does one thing which is endlessly flexible; if you can imagine it, it exists. Nice and straightforwardVoid & Nature seems like lots of powers with lots of purposes, and I'm not all too sure on the mechanics of how you'd actually use them.I don't think any of these powers are weak, but it's a personal preference thing.>>94226686Imagination lets me conjure two trees, a hammock between them and a cooler filled with hard cider. Fate is probably objectively speaking the 'stronger' power because you could path to victory the death of even a demigod and if Imagination Demigod and Fate Demigod fought I'd be betting on the latter, but I'm happy to admit that if I get magical superpowers I want to use them to play and fuck around, and I would feel more magical with Imagination. As an aside, I'd probably take Imagination as my primary, then Body as a back-up power, since that would negate a lot of the weaknesses otherwise, and also I want to grow wings whenever i like and lord over the lesser beings bound to the ground.
>>94225356Put your avatar back on, catposter.
>>94227157Thats a pretty good idea. I already have a sire page where you define what your sire is like and how that will impact your unlife. More like that might be good.
>>94227072>I was originally going to make an OG setting, but eventually had to come to terms with the fact that the setting I was making was far too similar to the Masquerade.That's absolutely sad. There are tons of similar masquerade urban fantasies but that is no excuse not to be original and instead making fan content. Look at Shitalics. He basically took Fate / Tsukihime / Nasuverse and still made original content instead of making Call of the Midnight World or Fate / Another Pretender.You are being lower than Shitalics by making franchiseslop and being a pussy about not making something to call your own because "Muh masquerade is similar.". The fact you have this mindset honestly means you shouldn't be making CYOAs at all.Man uo and make your own OC.
>>94226975I mean with the best build you're maxing out on power (all except Nature) by picking a bunch of the brides as scorned enemies since after a certain point you can blitz them easily as long as you take the assassin girl (mostly to get her out of the pool of enemies) so the main issue is picking a main power and dealing with its drawback, which means that under that criteria Fate is the best power to pick since it has the easiest side effect to deal with. I agree Body is crazy good too and probably the best solo power, but on a large scale+logistics+managing an empire Imagination is stupid good.
>>94227241 >I want to use them to play and fuck around, and I would feel more magical with Imagination.Fair enough, but thats why True Potential exists and I would feel pretty magical with luck/fate manipulation. You can fuck around with everything easily. Like imagine the classic mc falling on breasts but on command and to fuck around. Or making an enemy fall on his butt just to also land on a stick that goes through their ass. Thats low level stuff and still would be funny af. High level stuff can be pretty awesome
>>94226941>Excellence+Imagination are an instawin button.Sorry jobber, you lost to void + anything. HAKAI!

>>94227355There are lots of good anons whose opinions I enjoy. Its just an image board. So nah, make me.

>>94226838>>94227072You have no OC or even WIP. Not even a concept of a CYOA.
>>94227380Well, I like reddit. Its a pretty neat place. They post more OC and they dont talk so much about authors and instead post builds and give feedback. Maybe what the thread needs is a little reddit magic to heal? Come on anon, dont be so afraid of the reddit boogeyman.
>>94227376Imagination creates, it doesn't change other things. You can create water, not make a rock into water. Yoou can't affect directly other guy with it, you can create things to attack him, but not change him>>94227366Stronger hakai in an area
>>94227386Heh. What a loser. I have dozens, perhaps hundreds of concepts of a CYOA.
magi case... the best urban fantasy (mage) cyoa.. kino
>>94227386I guarantee I have more OC than you. Probably double the amount. Four times the amount if we word/content count. Most posters here make some shitty one-pager where you choose between a duck that cleans your asshole and a muppet that can fly and then call themselves "authors" for +3 years and never contribute ever again.
>>94227393But what is not the barrier between the dreamERR and the dreamED as we all are dreamERED into unreality.
>>94227393>AOE attackOh no, you got me, anon!! Got me… to reveal that I’ve been practicing breathing so long that a single breath of mine can sweep an area clear of enemy magic. Farewell, void boy
>>94227422Duck that cleans your asshole, obviously! Easy pick, muppet jobbers get out reeeeeeee
Is Magi Case just Italics version of Dragonfall? You know constantly reposted and talked about because he never had any other successful CYOA besides it before on the general.
explain to me in plain english why franchiseslop is bad, rarely do I see OG settings take off here
>>94227366I have also practiced slapping things 6 gorillion times. And I can see the future. My hakai has already hit you in at least 190572398728430756275 different timelines.Imagination jobbers had better start imaging themselves a better powerset.
>>94227451>rarely do I see OG settings take off hereYou are a newfag. The vast majority of CYOAs are OG settings and content and worlds. For fucks sake the top CYOA that chanhed the game Stardust is OG setting/world then you have old stuff like Power Armor and Magical Girl. Even dog shit like Pokemon Personified is more OG than the franchiae Lurk more.
>>94227460>Fell for such baitnewfag

>>94227453Unfortunately you fell into my illusory trap and slapped yourself into oblivion anon. Sayonara, fate jobber
>>94227422>muppet that can flyA careful reading of the CYOA will reveal the duck is not necessarily capable of cleaning anyone else's asshole, and so its special value may not be apparent to anyone else. In short, I can't easily sell it.
>>94227470>Stole [IRRELEVANT]'s SchriftSasuga Aizen-sama
>>94227474Alright, dirty asshole boy.
>>94227480Most people don't have ducks cleaning their assholes. I stand with the masses. You stand alone.
>>94227467The best urban fantasy (mage) cyoa. There are other genres of urban fantasy like horror, modern, etc.
You neglect the fact that you can study why and how the muppet can fly and advance science. Retards.
>>94227490I alone stand above you
>>94224787> WorldNoirFor the perk.> DomainFate (Primary)ExcellenceVoid'Do anything possible' is already really good, but gets even better when magic is real. Plus the curse is easily the most manageable of them all, since it only happens occasionally and can be pushed through if need be. After that, Excellence and Void seem the most vague and conceptual of the domains, so I can stretch them the furthest.> WifeAelia I feel really bad about leaving the others, so I’ll ask the goddess to tell them I chose randomly.

I honestly thought a VTM cyoa would be popular here... I guess not. I could easily just go back to my old setting. Wouldn't make a difference really. But you people always say mean things and bully me when I post OG shit.
>>94227521Who are you?
>>94227521I honestly would like a VTM CYOA.
>>94227507>Bitching out against sunkek>While having 3 domains to his 1Imaginationchads would never
>>94227451>why franchiseslop is badbecause there's a good chance that it would be animeI hate anime
>>94227539Same.>>94227541I'm not planning on fighting those guys in general, the gods clearly need to go.
>>94227467The Magi Case is the best by virtue of:1. No real conpetition in its genre of selection.2. Most urban fantasy CYOAs go along the lines of franchiseslop. Meaning if you don't ingest the material before hand you are at an disadvantage of enjoying it or knowing how it operates.3. Most urban fantasy CYOAs are often horror or extremely short. A natural turn off for some that don't want to exprience supernatural urban events and others outside of it are extremely short being like the witch one. Enough content to do, but not enough to invoke an imagination outside of the CYOA prompt.4. Magi Case has its own set of characters, lore, magic system that is separate from most published materials. So it gets an originality bonus to gives people a reason to try and engage with it and find something they like. Bonus mention to engagement of the author talking about the work and building investment ans the CYOA pandering to the player by having loads of options/backgrounds and stuff you can take ip narratively.5. Once more. The CYOA has no real competition in its genre so it can roughshot in it because urban fantasy that is not horror is very niche and attracts certain people to it and can turn off a lot of others who don't like masquerades or just want to poke holes in it.6. It's fun.
>>94227556>I'm not planning on fighting those guys in general, the gods clearly need to go.Fair enough
>>94227565None of what you said is true though
>>94227521I would do your own setting even it was strongly influenced by vtm.
>>94227507>I feel really bad about leaving the others>no love spurned for easy perks>Privacy>Godly Servant>I’d rather just stay neutralEmotional, unable to seize the opportunity, cowardly, stupid, and indecisive. You will never ascend to godhood.
>>94227595I can see the rest but where does stupid come from?
>>94227611Godly Servant. 500 years of slavery to a mercurial goddess. Anon took Privacy to avoid The Games of Divinity. Kek.
>>94227627It's just minor odd jobs, it can't possibly be that bad. Also I value privacy in general, it's nice to be able to fly under the radar.

>>94227672>I won't be made to do anything dangerous>emissary>negotiations break down>train her children>who are in the world to fight in the games
>>94227689Well sure, if you want to assume the worst case scenario everything is terrible. But there's nothing saying that she will call in her favour right then, that her favour actually will put me in harms way or that I actually will end up being harmed as a result of it.
>>94227589Everything I said is objectively true. Stop being contrarian for the sake of it.

>>94227902Refute with evidence/have a counter-arguement the op or get your salad tossed and told to shut up.
>>94227919Man, there is not objective anything in artistic things. I wouldn't say my favourite cyoa is the objetively best cyoa nor in it's genre, is the best subjetive one because it's my opinion. You could make a 5 pages pdf full of arguments why Magi case is better than any other urban fantasy and it would be useless because it's still subjective
>>94227950>Man, there is not objective anything in artistic thingsThe Mona Lisa is objectively the world's most renown painting snd best painting of a woman.
>>94227950>Man, there is not objective anything in artistic things.Edgar Allen Poe's works are objectively thr best horror stories written. Sir Conan Doyle works are objectively the best detective fiction written.
>>94227467I've got you.
>>94227565Yeah, magi case made good use of the fate universe along with urban fantasy. There’s enough intrigue to pursue that it feels open world rather than forcing you to be pursued by a monster or getting roped into fighting for the holy grail or something.Also, I think the power level is key for the setting. Some people whine about being underpowered, but I think it puts you at a point where you can theoretically get stronger, but doing your job has real dangers. Also, the fact that you remain human (at least at the start) is a fun aspect — guns and martial arts still remain relevant in most situations and it ups the danger level.
>>94227978
>>94227989
>>94227965>The Mona Lisa is objectively the world's most renown paintingYes, because that's not part of the art itself but fame, which is something objetive. If the Mona Lisa never saw the light of the day and never got famous, would it change anything, artistically speaking?>and best painting of a woman.False.That's subjective. Something objective is not based on opinions. I can say the rock is a liquid but objectively is not, there a lot of forms to demonstrate it is a solid. That's objective. Don't act like the opinion of people, it doesn't matter how many, makes something objective about art, you can say is objectively the most famous one or the one that most people think about when you ask about the best painting of a woman. That's one thing, another thing is The Mona Lisa being objectively the best. There is no objective best, is art

>>94228336Pasille did nothing wrong though. She got rizzed by the former Hero (Who was going around banging all women except Pasille) and her Husband got asshurt because they were rizzless, then murdered three people and divorced her when Pasille was on a honeymoon with them.
>>94228416>Who was going around banging all women except PasilleDid he rizz her (female)husband too?
>>94228410>>94228347cuckbait
>>94228429No. Arios is a total autist and somewhat a bitch. After divorcing Pasille she tried to murder the Hero who didn't know anything that was going on. Then she stafted aggressively stalking Pasille to the point everyone is concerned and wants her not to be around her with a restraining order because Arios still thinks Pasille belongs to her.A mentally ill yurishipper is what she is.
>>94228442Any fate thot is cuckbait though.
>>94228442She is extremely loyal it is one of her defining characteristics.
>>94228258Entropist ofc.
>>94228258I'd need to think long to decide who did companions best, but one of the best should be Limbo Roommate, SDA's finest work.
>>94228258>>94228258This one also.

>>94228658it's okay tok, Dragonfall has... hmm. It has a cool background I guess?
>>94228281>>94228548>>94228698>>94228699Wtf these are all trash
>>94228708And some of the best companions. There is no companion in another cyoa who compared to the ones in those is clearly superior.If you think they are, bring an example
>>94228258Outer reincarnation, Magi case, Entropist, godly husbandry
>>94228567The shittiest version of all. At least he got the theme right, gloomy and boring.
>>94228258Witch Awakening is the worst CYOA ever written and nobody hates it more than I do, BUT I liked the feature of companions where they had a small budget for you to slightly expand on their builds.
>>94228766>t. masochist
Stfu and post / talk about actual cyoas, not trying to fuck some pidgeon bitch or acknowledge tok exists, thats the worst

Question: How does this >>94228808 cyoa compare to anything italics have made today?
>>94228778>Blessings:Magic, Mind, Sages (alchemy, medicine, mathematics)I will create the elixir of immortality.>Point of Emergence:Craggy MountainsI will become a grand adviser to the dwarves.>Meeting:The MentorI will study under the (soon to be surpassed) greatest mage, alchemist, and doctor.>Greatest Challenge:The Powers of OldI look forward to the loot.
>>94228778Can I use magic to extend my life? If yes then this guy >>94228921 made my build except I'm starting in a small town.
>>94228921Thats some interesting ideas and good luck to your careerBut you didnt answer the real question did you?
>>94228999Hood. Can't be blown away and you can hide your face with it to look mysterious (sure, you can also do that with a pointy hat, but it would look dumb).
>>94229025
>>94229010Why are you just me except for liking dwarves?
I can't wait to finish my OC so that I can enter a disassociative fugue and make a build for it.
>>94229058I don't like dwarves, per se. It's just that I need their skills and resources for my purposes.
>>94228999Good wizards are low IQ that need to hide their ugly mugs and weak magic by looking like a hobo.While pointy hat wizards are high IQ and peackocking, showing off their mastery of magic.
>>94228600A long time ago, a good decade ago in fact, ItalicsAnon released a large JRPG CYOA by the name of Pokemon Personified. It was hos second ever CYOA after Picking a Goddess.It was one of the largest CYOAs of its day next to Stardust CYOA in terms of page count. It was also one of the first CYOAs to prove that lore alone can carry a CYOA to stardom without the need of mechanics (The CYOA mechanics were terrible and focused on stat autism) and introduced companions that were actual companions instead of being 3-4 sentences no different from other options. A real gamechanger for the hobby like Stardust, but moving.Pasille is a character from the CYOA, one of the first big waifus that made her fame because not only was she a powerful goddess based on Ho-Oh but an empress in the setting. She as the goddess of love was formerly married to the God(dess) of the Sea but fell in love with (You) the Hero and decided she wants to follow you around and becole your official lover/wife.The problem is that she had a controversial divorce for some Anons because her ex-husband (Wife) is a yandere that assumed Pasille was cheating on her with your predecessor (previous Hero) and alsp stalked/followed him around. This opened up a big war where people called Pasille a whore and cheater that wanted to fuck your predecessor and her using you as a surrogate replacement for him. Then you have anons on the other side refuting it because Pasille truly wants to move on from Arios and your predecessor (Who she never slept with as confirmed in the CYOA) to be with you.Due to how outdated the CYOA is and the fact it hasn't been reposted in a decade means its usually forgotten and barely talked about at all.
>>94228884Italics CYOAs got better overtime. New World was part of a series if CYOAs he was making but never finished like Order.
>>94228999>If picking pictures by others:Leaning slightly towards Hood.Hoods are the safer option. Pointy hats can be cool, but they might come across as comedic, which can go against the intended vibe.>If doing art yourself:Leaning strongly towards Hood.Hoods are a very flexible aesthetic, they mix and match with anything. Pointy hats make for a very specific kind of wizard, so they leave less room for experimentation with the rest of the visuals and characterization.

He did nothing wrong.He will eat me and live out the rest of eternity with his other victims.Cope me.
>>94229892The CYOA is called The Magi Case. You are a member of the Magi doing cases involving Magi across different fragmented bloodlines.Cinema.
HeySo basically I'm just gonna not respond to it (your bait)I know..... UGH I know...I'm sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It's just that I'm not gonna respond to it is allHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>94229912>Posts cringe Tok OC role play level writingWho broke you?
>>94229933>newfags displaying their ignorancenever gets old
>CYOA is about you being a magic cop>everyone (including the author) forgets about that part and only looks at the powers as if this was some shonen battle manga with an assortment of waifus and husbandos to choose from
>>94230164That's because there were only a handful of cases to solve and they, for the most part, were vague and uninspired. They're also placed after the truckload of people you're supposedly investigating to solve them for, which is bizarre. Magi Case makes little sense.
>>94230164Not even that. Italics himself said it was 1 shot city. So basically, nothing like shonen battle manga.
Are we forgetting that retardation italics said? Where anything can be counterspelled by anyone simply by putting more mana than your opponent? Basically making all battles about who was more mana?
>>94230179>only a handfulThere are multiple cases just a good chunk are hidden in companion profiles.Ostane Clan mentions an island ran as a separatist state, the founder of said island son hates it for a reason but wants to make a breakthrough in his father research, an investigator in another clan tells you to investigate it because a homunculis corpse washed up from it showing signs of more experiments.The entire Ager plotline of a Chronomancer Civil War.
>>94230265>throw expensive fuck off spell>opponent has to shove a bunch of mana into it to counter-spell>while they do this I cast sawed-off shotgun and blow their head clean offgive me 1 reason this wouldn't work against even the auctors, much like Harry Potter the first person to grab a gun will completely change the "meta" of magical society
>>94230179>They're also placed after the truckload of people you're supposedly investigating to solve them for,Didn't read the CYOA. You solve the cases for the Bureau not the companions.
>>94230265>Basically making all battles about who was more mana?But how do you know you have more mana for the counterspell? You have three different spellcasting methods and have to guess which one your opponent uses. You can cancel your opponent spellcasting by figuring out how to ruin their method like hijacking or destroying their layline or catalyst. What is stopping your opponent from have two spells ready and using a trap? You will never have infinite mana on you immediately unless you are a Relic so you can't dump everything into one spell otherwise your opponent can just dodge or have a trap prepared to avoid it.What's stopping your opponent from killing you before you realize you are in battle with them. How do you know what spell your opponent is going to use?Magi Case is a literal tactical battle and trying to outwit/manuver your opponent.
>>94230296Auctors have different cheats though. Including true infinite mana.
>>94230356>But how do you know you have more mana for the counterspell?This question is irrelevant to the argument of mana being the biggest factor in battles>You have three different spellcasting methodsWhy do you have to guess? You only need to put more mana. How they cast it makes no difference for the end result of having to put more mana. You do not need to ruin their method when you can just counterspell.>You will never have infinite mana on you immediately unless you are a Relic so you can't dump everything into one spell otherwise your opponent can just dodge or have a trap prepared to avoid it.No one has infinite mana. People can't dodge bullets from a gun if they have no spells on them. Any direct confrontation just ends with whoever has more mana counterspelling everything and then shooting them with a gun.
>>94230323Try read that again. He was saying the companions were suspects, not clients.
How were Entropist's companions good? They seem boring to me, just powerscaled waifuslop
As a dndfag, I can confirm counterspell is boring.
only Fabers should be allowed to counter-spell seeing as their whole magic is about mana itself
Mom, I posted the bait again!
>>94230492I agree with you. Them or the shieldfags. Probably the shieldfags since they are less popular.
Mooom, come look! I'm simping on the internet again!
>>94230505Oh noonnoononno arosisters, our response?
>>94230513Surely you mean Entropisisters?
I fucking love replying to people without replying to people
Likewise, comrade.
Back to the hugbox you go. Then you have your updoots and replies.
Oh noonnoononno, Entropisisters, our response?
>>94230296The fact that they can just kill you while you're casting the spell?
>>94230547Unless they are using the instant method or using a previous spell to buff their speed. The gun is probably faster than their human reflexes to cast a spell.
>>94230521No (You)'s... whatever will I do
Guns are just too overpowered. Maybe this is why magicfags stay on low tech settings.
/gsg/ vibes from not replying leaves me wondering when we go full brainrot
Killing your enemies from the safety of your basement using a black magic ritual is overpowered. Maybe this is why gunfags stay on low magic settings.
>>94230638The problem is that you need to penetrate their defenses to get their hair or blood before you can do the really gnarly shit.
>>94230422>How they cast it makes no difference for the end result of having to put more mana.If I steal your leyline retard you can't use any spells or put mana in them. Actually know what you are talKIng about before talking about a CYOA.If you use up all your mana from your leyline you can't use your spells. If you try to use a large load of mana for your spell using the projection method I auto-win because you kill yourself before the spell is used.Retard.
>>94230563So that applies to you to obviously, because you're also casting a spell.
>>94230673Anon they used the Walmart toilet last week.
>>94230422>No one has infinite mana.T. Shitposter*deletes you*
Next Husanon WIP when?What's he doing now?
>>94230444The only suspects are Ford and that's only because the fucking founder and his dog are sociopaths. The fucker manufactored chemical weapons and tried to sell them to nations at war just fir the money, lost the shipment and then go "Oh fuck, Oh shit, the feds found our shit." Then send a bunch of glowies to retrieve it and murder you (something they just got in trouble for) for doing your job and stopping retards from getting chemical WMDs.
>>94230738True, you've just got to get ingenuitive.
>>94230742Waiting for beris next cyoa/uodate of course
Bros, if all else is equal, is it better to have agility and speed or strength and toughness?
>>94230563The bullet from a handgun is faster than a thought. A single thought to cast a spell would take about half a second. A 9mm for example got 1500ft a second. In a direct open confrontation, a mage will lose the battle against the gun.But this isn't taking in other factors like cover, dodging bullets not to be hit fatally, environment and distance, along with the general aim of the shooter.If anon can get at least 1 second in to cast a spell after gun fire starts, the gun user might be dead.
>>94230864agility and speed will help you reposition and maneuver on an opponent as well hit weak points
>>94230456Aro, you wouldn't understand.
>>94228149unbelievably well made
>>94230917okay tok, whatever you say.
>>94230710>seething this hard at the truthlmao, stay mad
>>94230866Except the gun user is also a mage. Also, dodging bullets is kinda hard. Specially since magi glowies must be trained in firearms considering they are all given one.>>94230728>So that applies to you to obviouslyTo me? What are you talking about. You self inserted yourself because you felt called out. I am never referred to me. In this situation, they must use their item or chant, both of which take time. It takes less time to pull the trigger on a gun.
Instead of talking about magi case baits. How about we talk about oc. What is something new that is coming that you want to see, anon?
>>94231142I want to see the world section of Luminary.I have no idea how it will work
>>94230864Speed is king.
>>94230864speed because you can run away if things start looking bad.
>>94230864Depends on skill.
>>94230908>he thinks my turtle build has weak points.
>>94230864Speeed!
>>94230864Depends on the setting. Are we superheores with superhuman powers or are we martial artists fighting unarmed? If that is the case it is more even but I would say speed got a slight advantage. If the setting is something like a generic fantasy with weapons and armor than I would say 100% speed and agility. Because the weapons and armor makes strength and toughness much weaker since every strike will be deadly and that makes evasion and speed much more important.
>>94231107> What are you talking about.You start off the situation by casting an 'expensive fuck off' spell. There is seemingly nothing stopping them from just killing you before you finish casting the spell, as opposed to waiting until afterwards to counter it.
>>94231293>flips you over on a hot day
>>94231315You've reached your allotted post for the day, back to the soul mines, slave.

>>94231142My OC should be ready by the end of the month. I don't want to spoil it by posting a WIP before it releases, but it has a decent amount of depth.
>>94231444>nothing of worth was said
>>94231444Do you wanna tell us what it is about?
>>94231444>t. shitposter
>>94231460Kek. No, not yet.>>94231461It's a generic fantasy army builder where you choose a set number of troops, then invade a kingdom with them. It's more like African Warlord than it is Dawn of a Demon Lord, but isn't a direct copy. The kingdom's separate regions have their own troops and you need to choose what order to attack them in, with the regions getting stronger the later you do.
>>94231487Nope, I've finished two pages and am working on the third. It might go up to four pages but I'm trying to fit as much per page as I can, since the original inspiration and none of its derivatives went over five pages or so.
>>94231488Is there any immortality and personal power in the CYOA? Also can I have dragons?
>>94231492I will believe it when I see it
>>94231496The first page is almost entirely oriented around your personal skills, though most of it is related to your abilities as a leader, there are a few choices to be strong yourself. Dragons are a troop choice and are the strongest, per unit, but it's expensive to get more than a handful. Immortality isn't given upfront but forms of it can be looted after conquering a couple of the regions.
>>94231520Good, I wouldn't either if I didn't have access to the docs I do now. You should never trust random posters. I hope you'll enjoy it when I think it's ready to release.
>>94231522This sounds really promising!
>>94228999Hood is da bestbonus points for faceless Nazgul-like hoods
>>94230864strength and toughness powerset if you're almost immune to portable weaponryotherwise agility and speed is better
>>94230864Let's say theoretically that one artifact could give you all of those.Is that overpowered?
>>94231605>no indication of amountgreeeeeeeeat question
>>94231605Not if you have to pay for them and other options on offer are also powerful, no.
>>94230864I've always been one to like strength and toughness because being an immovable bulwark in a game can be fun, but realistically the battle of Carrhae shows how 40,000 heavily armored and shielded infantry pretty much automatically lose to 9,000 horse archers when there's no chokepoints.
would you a tok (female) ?
>>94231416Ok.
>>94231413Nah, you're gonna have to wait. Here's the line-up of Vampires (True) that will appear in the CYOA as companions (or enemies), choice dependent.
>>94232114what the FUCK is that germain I thought he was a grandpa!?!
>>94232133It's not what you think. That is Germain 's great-x-grandmother.
>>94231529I will always enjoy new OC. If it is real.
>>94232114>ripping off nasu even harder
>>94230864Strength & Toughness usually imo. But it depends on what we are talking about.
>>94231605No, just balance it correctly. Or don't make fighting the focus.
>>94232195The vampires have been in since 1.0, though.
>>94232217>i-it always had DAA's!
>>94232200The whole argument is stupid because when people say the stupid power scaler word 'speed blitz' they are usually talking about a character that is like 100 times faster at a minimum and already has the power to kill their opponent. Of course, super nigga could slash my throat if he was moving faster than a bullet.
>>94232291Why is italics even talking about a cyoa that is not even coming out in the next year? He himself already said he was done with it and put it at the end of his long list of WIP.
>>94232346>>94232291shitposting.
>>94232401You are right. Italics shitting up the thread with talk about something that is not coming out is shitposting.

>>94232422Correct, italics is coping.
>>94232426>y-you're not laughing at me! You're laughing at s-shitalics! Laugh at him!!!No. You are a funny little man.
>>94232433Yes, italics is kind of funny with his cope, right? Kind of strange of him.
>>94232438Shut up italics, we're not talking about you right now, i'm making fun of someone else.
Who do you guys like the most from the main Witcher girls.Triss, Yennefer or Ciri?
>>94232514Yennefer, but I have a different question. Out of all franchises, why does the Witcher specifically get so many rapefics? It can't just be that the women are bitchy/correctable, plenty of franchises out there but for whatever reason this old game gets more noncon content than several of them combined. Not complaining, just curious.
>>94232558Well that came out of nowhere.I had no idea lmao.I guess that people just want to cuck Geralt?
>>94232514Ciri is the most delicious... in terms of bloodline.
>>94232585It's just odd to me because of how relatively high quality it is compared to so much other smut out there, it's like the game is tapping into some kind of primal instinct
>>94232558For the same reason fate grand order gets so much cuck porn.
>>94231961There is a Tok for everyone
>>94232114More jobbers to the slaughter.
>>94232809Even the old Granpa Germain couldn't beat them. Do you think you wouldn't lose?
