I'm not interested in taking over the world. I'm just interested in my own land... and being a pervert, but I keep that within my castle. Anyway, because of my political moving, the other nations of the world, heaven, and the world itself have little to no interest in harming me. But, a few lone bands of fools try their best to "stop" me. They usually run out of steam before they get to the end.

I posted about that in the last thread and plan on shadowdropping them, hopefully before the month ends.

Ecclesiastes has more quests than the Magi Case and is more wordy than it for them.

Cogency (Prototype) needs to be thrown together in Photoshop, mostly. Though with superhero fatigue in media, I'm not sure if the short CYOA even in its own original setting will be received here in CYOA sense its short and there are only six powersets and the thing is already far too developed to go back implement a power evolution tree idea I ended up brainstorming. If it's well-received, that will be a green-light to make a better full-fledged version.

I love warhammer fantasys magic system and magic should be evil, which is why it is evil in my Tokverse.

>>94810906

>Magic III
>but only Mind I
This is not an RPG were magic scales of intelligence. The only reason I picked mind 1 was because I don't want to forget anything and that is good for a spellcaster since then I can memorize an infinite amount of spells.

Learning speed is not important since I have eternal youth and thus my learning is not limited to the span of a mortal life. It is foolish to waste points to make you stronger early on when there is no reason to be strong early. I will learn all spells of the world eventually, why waste points to speed it up?

The being calm in a frantic struggle is something that I already am. This is a skill you can learn from studying martial arts and doing a lot of hard sparring.

Solving mathematical equations fast is something I care not for. I guess this is great if you care about techshittery and turning a beutiful fantasy world into a ugly modern gunfaggotry world.

I am confident in my mind as it is, all I would want is a perfect memory then I couldn't want to change a thing.
>>
>>94810952
Some of them are fine. I usually don't read them, but Kron-OS and theotherangel's builds were fine.
It's just that Tok has a certain style which pervade all of his builds.

That explains a lot of why your settings are so bad, no wonder mtg failed so hard.

The risk in white magic is negligible.
And for neutral magic, the amount of risk is unknown, but I doubt it's that high otherwise demons would've overrun the magic world.

No I like magic, I just think that power shoulden't come free of charge and come with a cost.

Nothing implies that aside from andea going on a schitzo rampage which can be safetly ignored. Also yea nobody actually praises dragonfall tok what are you on about, dragonfall is passable at best if you ignore how much you fucked up on points and abilities and how the companions aren't even worth taking unless you twist their wish to some ridiculous end.

Dragonfall is dogshit, nobody praises it.
>>
>>94811241
It's true tho. The koreans loves dragonfall so much they translated it and turned it into a interactive CYOA and while reddit is just as tsundere for me as you guys it is on of their most beloved and popular CYOAs. You can act like it is not true, but the fact is that Dragonfall is one of the all time greats of CYOAs and it is the best dragon CYOA.
>>
>>94811257
Translating something doesn't mean its popular, likewise reddit will upvote anything, you're not even top on reddit either. Dragonfall is one of the most mid cyoas of all time, and is not the best dragon cyoa, that goes to hatchling.

Based
Had magic (like that anyway) actually existed, it would be the product of some sinister intelligence entertaining hocus pocus game logic, or religion
Unintelligent nature does not entertain our art, it only gives us the the tools to make art
Magic as a concept is more negative than positive if it’s not treated honestly (yes religion and hocus pocus is all dishonest) like a stage

>I don’t care how much this will impact human development.

And this is why the aliens (faction B) glassed “Atlantis” (playthings of faction A) after beating the other aliens (faction A) and took away all the cool stuff from the humans (whatever made those drill holes around the world, one way telekinesis, spontaneous kinetic bullcrap, psychology rape, laser cutting for those bizarrely precisely cut blocks, etc) from us, letting us develop shit for ourselves on our own terms.

That period consisted of us sacrificing each other to appease faction A by the way.

You have the potential to become more sensitive to the fundamental ground of reality where all things, living and non-living, are interconnected. This manifests in some of your species as high psychic ratings.

The ability to see the future. Or view past events previously unseen. In others it is the ability to decipher the mysteries of the universe through intellectual or intuitive flashes.

Not many races uplift themselves into space by themselves. Most races are uplifted--given technology and space travel by other races.

This close proximity to the tenuous barriers between dimensions appears to be the reason why humans are observed and avoided.

They’re like the Nordic aliens. From a parallel/overlapping land/Earth, which is essentially Valinor, although they do not originate in Valinor. Essentially superior humans. The true alien visitors would be the Maia, such as the wizards. They were born before the creation of the planet. They are like alien AI.

Alien means alien. Not native to the terrestrial sphere. Elves are tied to the world but for some reason they also go off to a place that’s separate from it. The West isn’t the west. If you sail west to find the ‘afterlife’ (not really) of the Elves you won’t find it. You will find not!America.

According to the Silmarillion, the elves are native to Middle Earth. Orome the Hunter (one of the Valar) found them while hunting Melkor's monsters, and invited them to Valinor. That's also why there are different types of elves. The high elves (Noldor) were the first grouo he found, the second were the wood elves, the third became the sea elves, and the ones he missed became "dark" elves. Not dark are in evil or underground, but due to the lack of the Valinor boost that the transplanted groups got.

(Everything that went to Valinor came back permanently "better". Shadowfax - Gandalf's preferred mount - is the descendant of horses who came back from Valinor.)

By the time of Bilbo Baggins, Feanor's faction of murderous wood elves had interbred with the dark elves to the point they'd merged into a single type of elf, also dubbed "wood elf".

The Valar-as-aliens idea isn't necessarily wrong, but the elves-are-aliens is.

Depends on the situation. Bruce Lee (the martial artist) used to have a gimmick where he'd punch a target from only an inch or two away, demonstrating that almost all the force in the blow came from a single, massive explosion at the end of the move.

But the longer a fight will take, the more stamina starts to matter. There's an old episode of MTV's "the Challenge" where one guy was just absolutely crushing his opponent in an elimination challenge. And then he hit his limit, and the other guy made this huge comeback, ultimately winning the challenge.

Did you just ignore the “although they do not originate in Valinor” part? Not that Valinor *isn’t* a part of Earth, it’s just not at all dimensionally positioned the way the planet is. Sailing west to Valinor won’t take you there if you aren’t meant to go there, it would just take you to the not!Americas. Valinor is NOT America, despite being in the “west”.

The elves are alien (a lack of familiarity is precisely magic as it is) because they’re the equivalent of a 21st century human conversing with a medieval person from the past. Lembas bread is like a mars bar. “You’re not you when you’re hungry”. A person from the future is an effective alien, especially if we’re to consider the very plausible notion that “aliens” are just alternative “humans” from different hairs of time / positions in spacetime. See pic.

Galadriel was genuinely confused when Sam called her future seeing mirror magic. It’s alien to the hobbits, sufficiently advanced (taken for granted) to the elves. Is your cellphone magic? Imagine if a caveman called it magic, only to be met with “but it’s not”.

“But we understand it” is irrelevant. It’s still alien/magic. To them.

Tough shit then. Everything—every damn thing—is more alien than not. We’re alien to aliens. God is more alien than not. He just is.

The building of the colony itself wouldn't be the focus but the preparation for the invasion so what kind of resourcess you will bring to help you survive.

An idea I have is that to create sacred land that is relatively safe from the most powerful demons you need to sacrify the heart of a demon lord do that's the ultimate objective to kill(At least) one of them.

The problem with you people is that you cannot put yourselves in another’s shoes. You don’t like acknowledging that magic is one sided.

Why would the wizard necessarily treat his works as wizardry, or see himself as a wizard, when it’s not guaranteed?

You can have two wizards, one of which sees themselves as a wizard, while the other does not.

They want there to be actual substance to the magic, rather than it being simple psychology, not realizing that it’s not actually a matter of substance, but rather how the substance is perceived. Hence psychological.

Anon you lack understanding.
Tolkien as a catholic understood that science is the knowledge of God.
This is something monks also thought that understanding the work of God can lead to a better understanding of God.
God is the source of everything and he is a rational being therefore everything has a rational explication.

Nay, I am completely serious. The actual mechanical interactions of how magic works are irrelevant. What matters is the feeling it gets across to the one experiencing it. This is where Living God differs from Ultimate God, the audacious, phantasmagorical grandeur against the rationalistic materialism sans the material. Magic without the mystic is just shiny technology.

I'm not Dark Sovereign, mine was a completely different Walk Blessed. He edited his own and while he was in the right to for himself, I feel it disrespected the spirit of the CYOA, so I don't like him much. If you can guess which one I was I'll congratulate you but I won't tell it.

Kek. The recent shitposting has been kind of funny. I wonder how much of it Exalted Conquest will inspire, and if it will endure as much. I doubt it because without Walk Blessed it's inherently less OC character-focused, but I bet it will match Outer Reincarnation in terms of scale. It might even get its own general for a few weeks.
>>
>>94814068
That's because Tok has a terminal porn addiction and has begun self-inserting as the woman. While him trooning out would be a net gain for human civilization, I doubt he'll ever go that far when he has CYOAs as an outlet for his delusional escapism.

Correct. How much of a ritual is truly necessary? It’s irrelevant.

Also correct. The mind’s eye. Wonder and mystery. “I wonder…”. It’s the birth of all religion.
>Magic without the mystic is just shiny technology.
To upkeep magic in a technological frontier you have to keep it mystical/mysterious, which -can- be done, it’s just hard. The physicists that poke at the very edge of understanding, coming to questionable, even ruinous, conclusions, is mysticism at its heart—the internal experience. Some physicists simply *knew* the truth, within themselves, and these individuals include the likes of Isaac Newton. The problem is mysticism is internal while science is external, but many mistake the internal as not being just another facet of the external. Psychology is the most esoteric science of all—you can’t exactly get into another person’s head to verify consciousness.

>>94814142
I liked Entropist not necessarily for the setting, but for the interactions implicit to the setting, which were most overt with the multiplayers' build variety. From what we've heard, it sounds like Exalted Conquest is going to be doubling-down on build variety and interactions in particular. Most CYOAs are vague about the opposition the player faces and how likely they are to succeed, but Exalted Conquest is going to be defined by its opposition and the amount of possible combinations to confront them.

That's fascinating to me. My favourite part about CYOAs is the deconstruction of them- the careful analysation of every facet and how they're all likely to interact together. An objective, measurable opposition increases the amount of variables to look at by an order of magnitude, and has me excited. Most of what I'm looking forward to seeing is the antagonists and what tools there are to dispatch them or, if falling short, be dispatched by. The interplay of engagement, the back-and-forth inherent to solving a problem when that problem is intelligent and trying to kill you with everything it has, that brings a visceral thrill to me I can't fully articulate. It's the same feeling I get when I'm stalking something in the woods, just subdued and confined to a stricter context.

This is one of the reasons I'm a big fan of Scottishanon, his CYOAs tended to have dangerous, detailed opposition. Peil as well. His are always a romp. I still remember when he made the Sith CYOA and confessed that he knew almost nothing about the expanded lore, and a couple of Star Wars fans in the thread seethed about it for a couple of days.

I think the Sith CYOA is better than the Jedi CYOA that gets reposted every now and then, because it puts the thematic feel and implied synergies over mechanics and intricacy relating to them. Generally, I dislike canon CYOAs but Peil is a genius. I've not seen a work of his yet that I didn't like.

>>94814467
Thank you, I hadn't laughed in days before I saw this post and now I can't stop. Somebody should repost that CYOA he was obsessed with for a few months. The PDF with the yellow background, and we can see if he's lurking from the reflexive coomer imagebuild post. I don't remember what it was called or much else but it was set in a desert and there was some emphasis on dreaming, or wandering. I feel sorry for the author when I see it.

>>94814494
I agree, Life Chronicle was a puzzle. I played it a few times as a RYOA. It reminded me of the classic book CYOAs, and don't think anyone else could've done it quite like Peil. Besides that, I think Anomaly 777 is his peak.

Out of curiosity, who's your favourite author, anon? For me, it's a loose tie between Scottishanon, Peil, and Thrallherd, in no particular order. I have a lot of respect for authors. My own OC is coming soon. I had a lot of stuff come up during the holidays that distracted me, but I think it's better it be late than never.

A Jumpchain adjacent was never going to be popular. At least acheld finished it before disappearing.
>Besides that, I think Anomaly 777 is his peak.
I still prefer Republic of Blades solely because of the characters. Usually they're cliché enough that skipping that you can sum up the character with a glance, but he actually wrote them very well - with two personas per character. It's good for interaction and building narratives.
>Out of curiosity, who's your favourite author, anon?
Nxtub I think. Good background that weren't overdesigned, a solid prose, powers that were didn't the setting they appeared in, stories that were large enough to allow multiple paths while not feeling aimless.
Hm, or it might be Stellinearized. He's interesting to read because I like to see some CYOAs as connected and characters as recurring actors, so his loose metafictional themes really resonate with me.
And the characters in Cityscape Skirmish + Hearts Adrift were excellent, probably the best written in my opinion, but that's cheating since they have a lot of "screen time" and aren't stuck as narrator voices.

>>
>>94814703
Thanks for posting it! I'll have to give it another read here in a bit.

I like Nxtub a lot, too. His CYOAs have more verisimilitude than most and they're always well-executed. My favourite of his is probably the Hospital, that one stuck in my head for a while. There's a lot to dissect with his work and the vague explanations for things deepens that further. I remember there was a really interesting discussion breaking down the artificial layering of his CYOAs and trying to chart a chronology.

Not many authors can manage to get enough substance for something like that. Nxtub is special, and I would say he's in my top 10 of all time. Aside from that, survival CYOAs are my favourite genre, and the weirder the situation is, the better. I'm inspired by a lot of those old island CYOAs. After my kingdom invasion OC is done (probably in a few more weeks, I've had family issues and writer's block holding me back for some time) I plan to do a sort of nightmare dimension CYOA where it's set up like a survival situation, but all of the danger is in directly, physically hostile opponents rather than curses or terrain, and the player needs to fight and defeat them to escape. The player will get stronger over time but so will their enemies, and they'll need to plan and strategize to survive. The emphasis will be 90% violent, physical or "martial" abilities. It's ultra-niche but I've always wanted to see a CYOA like that.
>>

Ah, I remember an old CYOA that was never posted here with a similar premise. You should give it a read for inspiration - most of the opponents felt cunning given their resources. Especially one of them.

Do you mean the huge colony builder CYOA? Either way, that's interesting to hear. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

>>94815165
I cannot agree more. For CYOAs where violence is a factor, the enemies are even more important than the companions. It's unfortunate they get neglected so much. The biggest reason we don't see more of it, I suspect, is that enemies aren't as easy to make choices from.

Coming up with the choice of a waifu or power is easy, but generating the same amount of choice from enemies is tricky outside of drawbacks, which can be good but sometimes miss. One CYOA that handles opposition really well is A Witch's Game, where you're in a mansion dimension and need to fight off a supernatural witch for a year to win. Instead of choosing a specific witch, it has you choose what powers she has access to, which is an interesting take on it. That one got a lot of engagement.

I think an interesting way to handle enemies would be to have them be selected and give a certain amount of points to spend on skills, abilities, or whatever else. That way, there's a reward proportionate to the risk.
