Do we even have asoiaf cyoas or asoiaf esque cyoas other than the one by Peil? I’m not complaining I just find it weird how it’s such an untouched cyoa medium.
>>94906240
>>94906256
>>94906245Peil did an asoiaf cyoa?
>>94906271Asoiaf esque
>>94906245Just this one

Enchanting & Psionics are the most versatile magic, and it’s better to stay up in the air and feast on fungus rather than try and do a suicide run.
the WEAKEST has arrived. Stay in place anon, and deal with that cyoa for me, please.
>>94906369>Region: Kingdom Of The North [+3 Blessings]>House: Ruling House [-1 Blessing]>Profession: The Blade [-1 Blessing] [Higher]>Gifts:Tools Of The Trade [Valyrian Steel]Giant’s Blood [-1 Blessing]Grace & Beauty [-1 Blessing]>Companion: Ashara Hewett>Curses:Wanted [+1 Blessing]Win a tourney secretly, get pardoned, or however their backward legal system works. Then just live in luxury because this setting sucks ass.
>>94906531Cannot fathom anyone not taking Ruling House
>>94899684Reading the new version for the first time, there doesn't seem to be any indication on which companions are from which cyoa on page 9. Some I recognize but not all of them. Also is there is really a need to lock them behind an origin?Starting bonuses for Mortal are lackluster and i didn't really care for an extra bonus item as I was already struggling to find three that I liked. I don't see why anyone would pick this when you could import a build from another cyoa, it needs more sizzle.
>>94906561Because you want a doragon, which is mutually incompatible with Ruling House. For example:"Snowflake" Madae TargaryenOrigins:Free Cities (1B)The Smile + Higher Education (1B)Targ Blood + Touched By Magic + Animal Companion + Grace and Beauty (3B)MuwariChains + Without A House (+2B)Born a futa, sold to a brothel and educated as the ultimate whore. Adopted by the roving miscellaneously Eastern gentleman and growing up with a pet doragon. What she can't accomplish by wiles she will accomplish by force.
>>94901647>>94906120And to that end, Biokinetics are the most capable of living a decent life by sculpting their own limitless world within themselves if shit ever hits the fan. Sorcerers and Inventors get shittier pocket dimensions that they either need to go on fetch quests to change up or personally micromanage every aspect to a limit if the scale expands too much, Telekinetics, Bodies and Telepaths get jack shit. If there's going to be another version of the CYOA, I'm going to assume it gets clarified that you can't just live in your own internal pocket dimension as a Biokinetic, but I wish it wouldn't. Otherwise, I'd have to just deal with a shittier pocket dimension that Sorcerers or Inventors might get to have.
>>94906668You probably can't live in your pocket dimension but I'd really just launch off onto Venus and terraform it into a planet of space babes.
>>94906668Quoted the wrong post last thread, fuck me. >>94906627
>Italics new slop gets posted to Reddit>Reddit calls it US propaganda>CYOA advocates beating up glowies.
>>94906665I actually kind of like this build, but I'd modify it to The Hammer instead of The Smile and take Corton as the companion instead. My life goal is then to establish myself as a legendary smith, using dragon fire and Targ fire resistance to make the best weaponry.
>>94906721US propaganda in what way
>>94906668Why do you need a pocket dimension? Just make an ever-growing ball of flesh around a sun and make your own planet.
>>94906668>Be Body>Every other Superpower except Biokinetic has died due to the earth being destroyed.>Buddy up with BiokineticProblem solved.
>>94906721reddit is a democrat eco chamber and right now, they hate america because the lost the election. So they are a little on edge with everything american, including cyoas.
>>94906949obsessed
>>94906721I went there to confirm, and it's just one guy.
>>94906245>Do we even have asoiaf cyoas or asoiaf esque cyoas other than the one by Peil? I’m not complaining I just find it weird how it’s such an untouched cyoa medium.There's a lot going on, and I'm not sure people have found a good entry point to base a cyoa on. A couple of the isekia/planeswalking cyoas have incorporated Westeros as a place (you) can go, like Trial of Terror or Rule 34 Economy.Beyond that? The closest is probably Tankista's Time of Troubles.
>>94907022
>>94836239>>94841057https://rentry.org/qyxaaawqLate to the party but I enjoyed reading the whole the thing. I really enjoyed the (my) Red Ravager write up.
>>94907022I like Tankista's CYOAs in concept, but they're always so complex and I'm worried about fucking myself by missing out on some detail or other.

>>94907057>What is Constellation?I think its what the abandoned Gotterdamerung WIP evolved into. I could be wrong, though.
>>94906913Your internal pocket dimension being definitively "infinite" piqued my interest, I suppose. Given that you're also explicitly allowed to break the bounds of what's possible with pure biology in a way that Sorcerers and Inventors cannot with their powers, you can effectively "cheat" and create self-replicating biomass generators within your pocket dimension, powered by whatever "impossible" process or ability you're explicitly capable of designing.Doing any of this outside your own pocket dimension risks external intrusions, especially from certain other Supremes like Body. I have no desire for conquest, and if you fuck off to your own pocket dimension to spend the rest of your time dilated existence in your own utopia, there would be little incentive for even the most ambitious Supreme to bother you, since the easiest path for everyone involved in that could would be to just leave each other alone. So long as you picked the right Traits for Body to ensure they aren't the type to try and fuck with you, you'll be comfy.
>>94906647>I don't see why anyone would pick this when you could import a build from another cyoa, it needs more sizzle.Its the obly origin that actually gives you tangible benefits so its actually yhr besr bsckground, but that means you have to not care about the other characters.

>>94907057>>94907132Nah, Gotterdamerung (Castitas) is still her own independent CYOA. Constellation is a JRPG science-fantasy CYOA that takes some inspiration from old sci-fi JRPGs I played back in the day, (Phantasy Star and Star Ocean). The CYOA takes place on a colonized planet that produces its own bio-energy (Think of Thermal Energy from Lost Planet, but with more magical bullshit) where groups fight for control of its vents. The premise focuses on you recovering from an incident that led to you being overexposed to bio-energy and ending up in the hands of the influential groups of the world and their ambitions as you gain the ability to use Manifestations of the bio-energy. Though, I noticed a vocal community of players don't like that hand-holding rails premise, so I might end up changing it to be more sandbox in nature or something to promote more freedom? TL:DR:It's a science-fantasy CYOA taking place on a foreign planet where you live a JRPG adventure.

She has the least need for resources, so she won't take too big of a share and is hard to sway with material gain. She also isn't very versatile, so she will need to rely on the others, which lowers her influence, forces her to a maintain good relationship with the others, and prevents her from consolidating power. Essentially, the circumstances ensure that she will be impartial and not restrictive - perfect.Telepath keeps the peace. She cannot be the leader because being Uncompromising is untenable in certain situations, so there has to be someone above her to use authority and loyalty to nonviolently stop her from overstepping her bounds.Recruiting Telekinetic, Biokinetic, and Inventor into the League will be easy. Convincing Telekinetic to contribute is another issue, but her not causing trouble is a win already.Peace and cooperation achieved.
>>94907292Mind & Heart, obviously.
>>94907556Main do-gooders will likely be me, Biokinetic, and Inventor. The others don't have the will or a way to benefit humanity greatly quickly, so they can only play a relatively small role in doing good. Telepath is a big maybe on whether she can help a lot as she may or may not consider mind controlling people to do good to be ethical.Biokinetic and Inventor will create autonomous systems to stop crime, solve poverty, develop medicine, unify Earth, etc. Telekinetic can help with materials and assembly. Telepath will creating sensible laws.I will create a mandatory academy for the powered (and a select few worthy to be empowered) on Earth in my territory. The curriculum includes normal (but perfected) education, laws for the powered, power training, and magic. The staff will at first be golems and the like, but they will be replaced eventually by students who take the jobs (aside from education, the academy also serves as a pipeline to jobs in the League). All students will have a small personalized tutor. The best students will be taught by me for a certain time once a month (if I'm available) and have a chance to become my disciples.The academy is not a charity, so the students will have to go on (mostly safe) missions to gather magical materials and such once in a while. Missions reward contribution points, which can buy many valuable things in the academy, including being taught by me for a certain time regardless of the student's grades.Of course, the other Supremes will want a hand in my academy. I'll let them help with the construction, bring new powered to the academy, have some decision power over the curriculum, and even be students. I'm not doing anything evil, so this is just less work for me.
Lot of shit OC lately. I'm surprised the superpower cyoa did as good as it did. Where's the good OC?

>>94907930Heir of michael is specifically combat skills meanwhile divine commander gives him supernatural control over angels in general and good overall leadership skills. Heir of Michael is what you take if you want him to lead like warparties of angels, divine commander is what you take when you want him to be like a majordomo or steward, and taking both makes him competent in both.

>>94908274Making all the others women is a brilliant strategic move. It reduces their possibility of attraction to each other to a minimum and increases their possibility of attraction to you to the maximum. Even if you cannot woo any of them, they will likely not get together with each other.
>>94907508I don't see how any of those are the best for getting more aspects
>>94908415Women compete HARD with each other and any man tends to simp for them. If you're the biokinetic especially, you can just dangle a complete makeover in front of them.
>>94907292Mind primary, Light secondary.

>>94908450Yeah, most likely.
>>94908453Who are you taking for family members?
>>94908461Saki, Desnadanth and Daisy, my Demigod Life Partners.
>>94906120Anyone else think magic never fits quite right with these settings? All the other powers make "sense", so to speak. But it feels weird when a power is just "you know everything about magic". That doesn't really feel like a power. You have to come up with reasons why people don't already know about magic then too. It would be weird for a mutant from x-men to have their power be "you're good magic now" no? If it was just drawing power from those otherworldly planes it would be fine, but the cult stuff feels off.>>94908438>you can just dangle a complete makeover in front of them.Inventor and Sorcerer can do that too, technically easier too probably.
>>94908477>daisySurprised someone actually picked her.
>>94908483Well there's a mutant who's power is being good at tech so it's not that weird.>>94908495She's cuuute.

>>94909295Because Near and Nia are cuter names for twin daughters (especially with a mom called Dalia). I should probably have picked Rose, yes.
>>94908274>>94908415Not only that. The average woman is smarter than the average man and not as filled with testosterone, so less aggresive and prone to violence.You don't need a genius to your side, you need a normal person and men are more probable to be retards. Also, just imagine you pick a man for the Body and it was someone with rapist and violent fantasies, you reduce the probability of it with women.Also, yeah, like the other anon said, if you go mix of men and women and they get in love randomly it speaks problem, it would speak even more problem if it's one sided.
>>94908483I think it's a power for:1. The Sight power2. Store spells3. Unlimited magic supply and capacityThose would be mutations and can fit as a power you are suddenly given.You can then say the Sight power not only let's you know about magic you see in front of you but magic you see in your imagination, so it tells you how to do it.Is basically wizard Inventor, both have supernatural knowledge

I already know exactly how I'll die, so I'm not afraid of anything else, therefore I'll spend my life going on adventures and exploring all manner of strange and ancient ruins. Using my combination of maester knowledge and master-level blacksmithing, I'll forge an iron carriage to travel the land in, while Fylla uses our adventures as fodder for her songs. I'll craft automatic crossbows for us to defend ourselves with, and Char (my red dragon, three times faster than normal dragons) is our secret and last resort for self-defense. Char (and the forge-magics I learned from my master Emya of Lys) are the secret behind working Valyrian steel and producing the best armor and weapons in the East, stamped with the steel sun emblem.The idea is to get her heavily pregnant and leave her at home right before my final adventure and die having lived a full life protecting everything I cared for. I assume Char will carry my body off into the Fourteen Flames once I do.

>>94909508ew
>>94907203You can't enter in your own pocket dimension as a Biokinetic, and everything in it is frozen in time. It is just a storage space for you to put your creations and minions, and extract them at will.
>>94908483Because being able to wield magic is to be able to wield, shape and channel various kind of arcane and esoteric energies from other mystical dimensions with your body as a conduit, and the "power" of a magician is basically to have a body that is a natural conduit for these energies and to have the innate ability to put a metaphorical finger in these extradimensional realms at will.The rest is about learning and memorizing all the necessary actions to cast the spell you want and to have a body that is strong enough as a conduit to channel the necessary amount of mystical energy. The Supreme Sorcerer basically got 100 000 years worth of encyclopedic knowledge about every possible spell in existence and more + granted a body that can theoretically conduct any amount of mystical energy he needs for his spells, no matter how vast and powerful.Among the weaker powered humans, there are also "magicians", but unlike the Supreme Sorcerer, not only is their body a waaaaaay weaker conduit, but they may also have access to only a limited number of mystical realms to tap into (so only a small number of magic schools, basically).
>>94909514Just removed the pages from the gallery because there's almost no info or writing on them yet.
>>94909677>Among the weaker powered humans, there are also "magicians"Yet another tool for STelepath to exploit.
>>94909715Aromage I MUST know what the personalities for lumina and kthibhe are. Or I guess just lumina since kthibhe was in the previous version and barring updates I can just go look.
>>94909722Well, yes, the Telepath can do a lot of things by exploiting the other weak powered humans around the world. He can go full Kephri with them if he wants to. But that's kinda villainous.
>>94906369What can I actually do with magic in this world? Is it worth taking at all?
>>94906561How do you even pick a house? There’s too many. You could screw yourself over. “Oh I should have picked that one…”. TOO LATE.
>>94907583The good OC is waiting for me to die, sorry fren.Give it another week or so.
>>94908860It's a project the author abandoned I guess
>>94909765Depends on the magic/“magic”.
>>94909474Aromage unironically thinks all anons are like this.It's a bit sexist imo.
>>94909810Is it? She wasn't proven wrong, after all.
>>94909800I honestly considered making sort of quick image build for this cyoa. I don't know its abandoned, it looks mostly finished. The only thing I don't like about this cyoa is it keeps the whole "if your worshippers die, you do" thing even though you aren't a god.
>>94907292Who are the best Court members?
>>94909677If you're the author, what are the relative strengths and weaknesses of Inventor compared to Sorcerer?
>>94906120Can traits be used on several superpowers? Like childish to two of them?
>>94909978Axel and daoris arguably, but all the primordial ones are somewhat useful due to having ultimate abilities. Nothing beloe primordial have ultimate abilities and their power is debatable, someone like jormungandr who seems to be weaker due to his heritage is still capable of giving someone like daoris pause for some reason, so maybe even offensively geared ascended can be proper threats to ultima tier enemies. Some stuff does weird me out about some companions, like how legion has dark commandment for some reason. I also can't really see someone taking Casimira "The multiversal whore".
>>94909978There's not enough court members desu. Aside from certain aspects its hard to have a thematic court. If you are a deathcel and wanted to have thematic goons in your court your limited to the wrong kind of goon with the twink vampire only lmao
>>94909816We must be better men.
>>94910121Resurrection letting you make pinnacle or primordial with the relevant costs would solve this mostly. A question for aromage, if I chose solo, could I use Resurrection to make someone like say daisy into a companion since she isn't actually an ultimate god?
>>94910007Let's say that the Sorcerer wants to teleport to the moon. It's probably a minute long chanting + gesures + maybe draw somes runes on the ground. Any time he wants to teleport to the moon he has to do that, or do the one minute long stuff several times and store these future uses within him.Inventor will take much longer to build his moon-teleporter, will need much more resources and stuff. But once the teleporter is done, he can teleport to the moon at will with a push of a button (as long as he takes some time on a regular basis to do some quick and easy maintainance, which is basically like having a limited number of tech slots and using one of these slots for this specific device).The Sorcerer can store within him a much, much larger number of magical effects than the Inventor has "available" slots in total.
>>94910274Nta but what about biokinetic
>>94910183Yes.
>>94910012no
>>94910274So like Harbinger then? Alright, then I'm back to Inventor.
>>94910321That makes solo competitive honestly. As much as I like Lumina and Kthibhe, even if they're just Ascended being able to have them divides me. All the points I need + 3 secondary aspects? That's based. I know part of having a family is to cover the aspects and have backup for problems/others on your level who can help you and everything so its not like family is useless, but damn that's making it a really hard choice.

Because he's pretty much unbeatable in a 1v1 fight without insane prep time, I can leisurely spend my time developing hundreds of powerful artefacts and spells in the alternate dimensions. The first rule is kinda lame, but I think I can work around it by simply making it easier for me to seek out necessary items for rituals 'n' shit, rather than creating straight shortcuts. Soon, I'll create a chantry with incredible magical defences and amass a wealth of crazy shit to help me defend humanity from itself. Speaking of which, I have two main goals after I establish myself:1. Keep the Telepath on a short leash, because this retard is potentially the most dangerous of us all. You can mostly reason with other guys and deal with potential damages they cause, but this motherfucker can just rewire all of humanity's minds in a short span.2. Keep Biokinetic under control. She's a total cutie but a schizo, and that's a turn-off for me. I'll just pretend to like her and send her to a parallel dimension where she can experiment with her powers freely.After a decade, I'll have a massive magical academy developed for everyone who doesn't want to be a fucking pleb. Me and the Inventor will probably be sipping our tea while the New Gens are planning to dethrone us for being almighty, deranged old men.

At present it is only possible to repurpose existing Valyrian steel. Go visit Qohor.
>>94910493I feel like people vastly overestimate how willing 5 random people are to destroy the world.
Is a points system that creates any sort of feedback loop within the CYOA that would require you to scroll back up too burdensome?Like the difference between>Points system - Redeem points, choose shit.vs>Points system - Redeem points that might refund or discount shit from earlier in the CYOA
>>94910507Inventor and Biokinetic fighting = Earth destruction (at least the surface).Supreme Telepath, Superior = all non powered are made into mind slaves.
>>94909765Magic is iffy. Merely having access to lore is not enough to perform magic, although it will help, especially in defense, like how dragonglass can kill a white walker. That is not insignificant information.
>>94910522>like how dragonglass can kill a white walkerOr how offering them babies will garner their favour. They will leave you alone.
>>94910521Yeah that's what I mean. People probably aren't going to get into fights if it means everyone dies.
>>94910493If the Diplomat can't tardwrangle these two into a friendly competition of sorts, then I'll just convince them to come down a magic portal (which sends them to the rape dimension). They'll have more than enough time to sort out their differences.I think the Telepath can just be talked into becoming a glownigger that subtly manipulates normies instead of enslaving everyone. I don't think he'll immediately try to enslave everyone, because there needs to be an escalation in the first place. What if he'll be too busy fucking with the superpowereds instead?
>>94907592>Life treating you okay these days? Been alright.Any big news?Ecclesiastes most likely this week(end), I do hope you guys enjoy it. After its release and builds getting made, I'll most likely ask for the usual feedback.What did you like about it? What do you think the weak points are to the CYOA? What sections can be expanded on with additional content? Would you guys like an enhanced version?Then present a list of new OCs/returning CYOAs from Wave 1 (I have 2 separate Waves) of content I have for 2025 to see which one you guys would like to have take its place on the to be released CYOA order. I could post the list later today along with descriptions if anyone wants.Echoes PSY or Star Runners will be the next major CYOAs to drop down since I've been reworking Luminary to have more rails/narrative.The Magi Case: Fragmented Bloodlines Redux development has gone really well. I have put in a lot of work to change up its presentation and adding in a LOT of roleplay and backstory options to make you guys feel a part of the world from standing in the family (You can now be the Patriarch) to things you have done in the past to having things happen to you lioe having a mechanical body from the Ford Clan, etc.Lamentation R~ is still in development, but it too has undergone changes to give it more of a rail and story focus. I'm still keeping the different starting points, but each starting point has their own main quests which ties back to the Directorate and the world's history. Starting in Caelum for example hss your starting campaign about exiles and the truth behind the sky islands existence. Or starting in Nine Tails (The Kitsune Sanctuarary) has you dealing with fragments of the Great White One power. All of these also lead to the Catastrophe Challenege (Super Boss Fights) against the Enigmas who are connected to the Directorate.You also have Directorate remnants playing a part in Lamentation R~ and a Second Directorate. A lot of changes.
>>94910630These sound fine but until I see a WIP or actual release I cannot comment on anything with accuracy.
>>94910451>>94910468Well, for the first part I'll reality warp myself to have the strongest fucking will ever so I don't ever accidentally discharge it. Second thing is to ensure I blend in with everyone else on earth. Third thing is to randomly endow some other people with this power to serve as distractions for me. Fourth is to slowly boost the nascent powerlevel of earth so they can slow down any invaders for the next 8 years.
>>94910515Spending the retarded 15 min timer just for you.No, it is not too burdensome. In fact going back and forth is the ideal way to play a cyoa anyway, and people play like that when invested. Guiding the process a little is good design.Just make sure you offer enough meat before you get to it, don't just go dumping choices over choices on people.Generally though, revisiting a section you just spent ages agonizing over which n out of n to take with one more point/choice is rewarding and the reason drawbacks are basically in every cyoa (with the additional benefit of a 'minimizing punishment' choice instead of the usual 'maximizing reward'.)Obviously flows better when the connections seem logical, like "Staff with *Spell* (choose 1 from spell section)".An alternative way to achieve similar benefit is weaving puzzle pieces as densely as MiCha but that's not quite what you are asking. JRPG Traitor is a good example of what to avoid- every choice offers reward points for power but the pool is so deep and the points so common it takes a lot of tism to actually choose them rather than glancing over them and going "yup, got some cool ones I'm happy". Tankista comes to mind as a positive example of interweaving sections, though he uses multiple currencies too and that might obfuscate it a little and it's often front-facing, not backwards.Bottom line, it makes a good cyoa excellent. I'd subjectively go as far as saying that any cyoa I just read and don't scroll back up for failed as a cyoa.

>>94910442>Giving Superior Trait to the guy who can instantly mindslave every being on the planet I hope you don'thave any friends or relatives, because they're about to become Telepath's psychic cocksleeves
https://accuratevariety.github.io/The-Deal-Final/New short cyoa from the guy that made Ruined Reality and Marked Ones
>>94911044He has Sorcerer. He can make things to protect them or detect the mind control attempt, which means war.The problem is the rest of the poblation.Superior is still one of the best "bad" traits, as it gives them genuine affection to the rest of powered people. At worst you have a Getou that killed all monkeys
>>94911063>got way worseI knew this would happen sooner or later. Reddit interactive authors always become shit eventually.
>>94911044Superior doesn't necessarily cause them to become full-blown homeland types. It would take time and escalation for them to get there, and you should have a diplomat on standby for that. Or just don't give superior to the Telepath.
>>94909765going for a magic focused build in any low fantasy setting is asking to be blue balled
>>94910442>Supreme Sorcerer (Easily the most versatile power)Inventor's got the same amount of versatility.
>>94911044>because they're about to become Telepath's psychic cocksleevesI don't like this line of thinking. The author has explicitly stated none of the others can easily or quickly take out the others. They can all counter each other to varying degrees.
>>94911194>I hope you don'thave any friends or relatives, because they're about to become Telepath's psychic cocksleevesRead the whole phrase
>>94911044>because they're about to become Telepath's psychic cocksleevesWhy? I've made the Body guy a diplomat for that exact reason. Not only he can talk people out of doing shit like this on a grand scale, but he also has the power that's perfectly suited for taking out other Superpowers, no matter how much time it takes for his aura to adapt. Telepath is especially squishy, he can just speedblitz him at the speed of light.Telepath has no reason to explicitly target people close to me unless he'll try to gain my trust and use my magic to his end. And I never took Cunning for this form of scenario to happen, it's single-handedly the worst trait.>>94911135Inventing is cool, but Magic can give you shit a lot more easily and has access to esoteric effects that'll give me the edge. Also, I prefer being a wizard over a supergenius.
Gooning ascends beyond mere cooming. You can coom by merely fapping with a dry hand for 3 minutes. To goon, means to immerse yourself fully in it. To cycle through countless tabs, lock the door and barricade it, and get your fleshlight, tenga, or onahole out. Gooning brings you closer to an abundance mentality towards women, towards outcome independence, towards enlightenment.
CYOAs?
>>94911283Scroll up.
>>94911262>he can just speedblitz him at the speed of light.See >>94911194
>>94911262Words without threat are useless. Body can never hope to find Telepath in his wildest dreams.
>>94911085>He has Sorcererso? I hope he's ready to cast mind wards and detection spells EVERY single time he interacts with an unpowered person. He'll live in paranoia for the rest of his life, thinking that every human he meets is just a flesh puppet spy for Telepath. And if he somehow pisses Telepath off, his life would become a nightmarish version of the Truman Show.>>94911107>Superior doesn't necessarily cause them to become full-blown homeland typesyes, it quite literally does. you should read the description again carefully >you should have a diplomat on standby for thatyou're putting way too much stock on that, Diplomat just means the person WITH THE TRAIT won't abuse his powers it doesn't mean others will do the same. Which is why he should've gave that Trait to Telepath instead of making him Charles Xavier with Magneto's Personality.
>>94911304Well, I am fucking off to another dimension, like any wizard who fucks up does. Have fun dealing with my mistakes, Earth!
Biokinetic, Sorcerer, and Inventor can just fuck off to another planet/dimension, especially the latter two. One teleportation spell/device and you will never have to deal with whatever is on Earth.
>>94911262>I've made the Body guy a diplomat for that exact reason. again, you're putting the lives of your loved ones and humanity as whole into the hands of a stranger. By making Telepath a super-supremacist you've inevitably made him an adversary to all who don't agree with his views >Telepath is especially squishy, he can just speedblitz him at the speed of light.Telepath can meld with collective consciousness of mankind unless Body is ready to exterminate the entire human race, he'll never kill Telepath.>Telepath has no reason to explicitly target people close to me yes, but he can make turn them into sleeper agents to spy on you or used them as hostage for when you decided to turn on him.
>>94911262Can't speak to personal taste, but Inventing does also do esoteric stuff, and while it is harder you can reuse the stuff you've made instead of having to repeat the spell/ritual all over again.
Why do people assume the Telepath is a degenerate who will use his powers for evil purposes rather than... a normal person?If I was a Telepath, I certainly wouldn't mind control everyone one around me, that'd be a depressing life with zero pleasures or surprises since you're basically surounded by and talking to... yourself.As long as you don't give the very specific Distant trait to the Telepath, there is absolutely no reason to assume he doesn't have a normal people mind who needs actual, genuine interactions with other human people and has the very basic and natural sense of empathy not to do sadistic shit to other people with his powers.At worst, the guy is a regular prick who subtly influences a girl from time to time to make her attracted to him and get her in his bed, not a cartoonishly dumb vilain from a anime for kids with the objective of destroying the world / taking control of all human beings for... uh... weird, unknown purposes?
>>94911341But why would I want to do that? Everything I like is here.
>>94911347You always assume the worst things about others. That's only rational.
>>94911343Same logic as Sorcerer making items with magic. Valid. They're both basically the same.>>94911353You can bring the things you like away with you.
>>94911342>yes, but he can make turn them into sleeper agents to spy on you or used them as hostage for when you decided to turn on him.Buddy, you need to understand that EVERY Superpower at ANY time holds the entire mankind hostage. Telekinetic can blow up the planet with a thought, you don't make more hostage situation than that. And every Superpower will obviously be watching on each others, that basically part of the game, this scenario is US vs USSR cold war but the power to destroy the world with a push of a button is given to individuals instead of nations.Yes, the Telepath will keep a watch on me at all time. Just like the Inventor will, the Sorcerer will, the Body will (super senses), the Biokinetic, etc. And I will keep watching them to, that's "living with Superpowers" 101.Even if I had a good friendship with them, I would still accept the fact that they're keeping me in check and I would make clear that I'm also keeping them in check.
>>94911304See >>94911194>>94911342>he'll never kill Telepath.Adaptational aura would presumably let him punch his mind self or something>>94911347>Why do people assume the Telepath is a degenerate who will use his powers for evil purposes rather than... a normal person?You have to anticipate the worst case scenarios here. Have you seen what the average anon here would do with telepath powers?
>>94911347because they think that superior trait immediately makes someone a gigachud who wants to kill every normie. the description explicitly states that he starts out as an arrogant racist and needs to grow into a supremacist, so unless you gave him other shitty traits, you can theoretically be chill with himthe real issue is how telepath is going to inevitably become the most alien of all superpowers, faster than the biokinetic, due to his crazy bullshit. dude is just gonna lose his sanity
>>94911347>Why do people assume the Telepath is a degenerate who will use his powers for evil purposes rather than... a normal person?because some anons are retarded enough to give him traits that make so>As long as you don't give the very specific Distant trait to the Telepath, there is absolutely no reason to assume he doesn't have a normal people mind who needs actual, genuine interactions with other human people>Superior: This individual exudes arrogance and holds a consistent disdain for unpowered individuals, seeing them as inherently inferior. Their extraordinary abilities have clearly inflated their ego. While this arrogance might manifest as a quirk or a mild annoyance, it has the potential to escalate into a supremacist ideology if left unchecked or compounded by other traits. Despite their attitude, they genuinely care about the well-being of powered humans at large, including the other Superpowers (provided there are no personal conflicts).READ. NIGGA. READ
>>94911396>inevitably become the most alien of all superpowersYes>dude is just gonna lose his sanityNo
>>94911370With the amount of stuff I like I'd basically have to take the entire planet. And I am morally opposed to everyone dying even if I could survive.
>>94911401Nigga, read your own stuff. It explicitely states that growing into a full supremacist is just the last step of a long escalation that only happens if you encourage it or give the guy specific combinations of Traits. In 99% of scenarios, the guy with Superior will just remain a disdainful prick that you'll have heated debates with from time to time which will be a source of frictions, and that's it.Give Superior and Ambitions and Distant to the guy and now you have an legit long-term threat. Superior + Ambitions would most likely result in the guy taking over a country and making this nation a powered-humans only territory and force unpowered to either move somewhere else or accept to be sub-citizens.

>>94912546>false love, bought and ordered to occur
>>94912405To my understanding, all of the Superpowers work on their own internal, consistent logic that draws from our world. The Telekinetic and Biokinetic are scientific powers taken to an extreme. The Inventor simply grasps the secrets of the universe to such a fine extent that he can build advanced technology out of it. The Telepath is the master of cognition, and the Body spins physics on his fat cock.The Sorcerer is the one that's explicitly stated to have more esoteric, and wonderous effects that defy the logic of other superpowers (though they can take advantage of said magic by harnessing mana in some shape or form). He can create a powerful ritual that can revive a dead race of presumably fantastical beings, he can teleport to various fantasy realms, and he can literally generate a fireball out of his ass just by thinking about it. The only Superpower that can match him in the sheer bullshit output is the Inventor, who subsequently has the potential to harness the technological singularity on par with the Sorcerer's divine understanding of the arcane.

Please god don't respond to the guy
>>94913187You know what I mean. Talk no jutsu is powerful because it's the best one available to us. >>94906120Btw, what's the wog on Sorcerer being able to kill the other powers with a ritual?
>>94913133The strongest author in history came in and bodied the thread.
>>94913209> That would require a very high level spell for some of them, with a long ritual and preparation (especially the tank powerhouse of the group, aka Supreme Body), which would undoubtedly be noticed by the others. I mean, if I was in that situation, keeping a watch on the actions of the other Superpowers, especially those whose powers rely on mid and long-term preparations and craft like the Inventor and the Sorcerer, would be one of my top priorities. The Telepath is especially suited to keep an eye on the actions of the other Supreme at all times, with the Inventor being a close second if given enough time to build swarms of nano surveillance drones, as well as the supreme Body with his ultra-developed senses, and even the Biokinetic with minions designed for long-distance monitoring.
>>94906120How do you threaten Body? Just overwhelm it with a variety of esoteric attacks? How is Telekinetic supposed to do that? Telepath could Khepri the New Gen maybe.
>>94913228Relevant WOG:> If the biokinetic truly wanted to take down the supreme body in combat, I guess their best strategy would likely involve overwhelming it with an army of minions with an immense variety of eldritch biological abilities as a way to try to overwhelm the adaptation factor and find something that sticks and give him a scratch (and then hopefully open the way for more damage right in the wound), but the supreme body is kinda designed to be THE one of the six superpowers that is the most suited to win against the others in pure 1v1 scenarios. If I was the biokinetic and I wanted to prevent the supreme body from killing me, I'd just design a dead man switch in the form of a mega cocktail of alien viruses to be released if my body gets destroyed, or something like that. You kill me, the world falls with me.
>>94913246>body just winsGay and ruined
>>94913253>Kills biokinetic>Now has to live on a world ravaged by alien virusesThe only winning move is not to play

>>94913253Well if it didn't, why would anyone take it? It doesn't have anywhere near the utility of the other powers.
>>94913266>whose only stick is being strongUnironically my dram power fantasy. I would take it over Telefagging any day
>>94913264Jannies are stepping up their game
>>94913264If you were the ravager guy, I pity you.
>>94913260That's all the Superpowers. Any fight of two superpowers means humanity dies. The cyoa is about trying to befriend the rest or at least manage tensions to not reach fighting terms. Which is a good counter to any anon that obsessed about killing, like that one that thought he could kill telepath without compromising humanity. Any plan about that is going to fail, it's like if you some nation leader thinks he could nuke the rest of the world without recieving backslash because he tried to be sneaky
>>94913281For me it's Biokinetic > Inventor > Telekinetic > Sorcerer > Telepath > BodyThe last two are boring, the middle two are meh and the first two are the ones I like. Biokinetic has the second strongest body and can do more things than punch good, so he is a better body in my book
>>94913295>Which is a good counter to any anon that obsessed about killingHasn't worked. They are still going to autistically powerscale instead of coming with ways to play the political game. I hope to god none of them gain any real power.

>>94909365>The average woman is smarter than the average manCitation needed.
>>94914100>BecameAlways has been. *gunshot*
>>94914188Just look at any graphic about Iq distribution.The curve bell of both of them is different. Men are overreprensented in both extremes, which means if you take 100 retards and 100 geniuses, the majority of both groups are formed by men. That also means there is more women with an acceptable Iq to wield godly powers. Perhaps the phrasing would be better with "the average woman is much less likely to be a retard"
>>94913462I'm trying to make them as hostile as possible while technically not world ending instantlyHad an idea for a netherlands biokinetic jew with a "time for You to be afraid of Us" attitude that infected the world with inactive gray-goo and "selectively" wipes/conqueres countries based on hostility.Inventor is from an uncontacted tribe and is openly hostile to everyone but the idea of anything more than fire and bows hasn't occured to her yet.Giving the sorcerer psychosis or the telepath chris-chan is fun but kind of a cop out. I have no idea what to do with the others yet.

>>94914309Women are more consistently average in intelligence, in-fact."There are no female "Isaac Newtons" for the same reason there are no female "Jack the Ripper." Women don't operate at the "extremes" of IQ and are extremely risk averse, so even if they're capable of doing something challenging, they won't even bother. The also don't care about "Great" issues, having a "Life's Work", or anything much beyond the edge of their yard and the end of the week. Trial and error combined with effort is how you actually achieve something of note. Not by taking a test, or playing safe.There's no point in having a 20mph brain, if you only drive 10mph. At that rate, even an NPC that can drive 11mph will literally and figuratively get further and farther in life, especially as time goes by. Combine that with a much more rigorous work ethic and you'll have far more to show for your work than someone who is "really smart", but does nothing.There's also the fact that women have never actually accomplished ANYTHING on their own without the help of men. Not once. Not ever. Not a single building. Not a single statue. No monuments. No tombs. Literally "no things" to show that 50% of the population ever existed. Not too smart, or interesting, if you ask me.
>>94914761Thanks for the blog, but it doesn't help me.
>>94914901You wanna bet?Modern day people:— ‘College students once stood out from the pack on IQ tests. Today, they're about average. A recent meta-analysis found that undergraduates' IQs have steadily fallen from roughly 119 in 1939 to a mean of 102 in 2022, just slightly above the population average of 100.’Victorians as they were:— ‘The Victorian era was marked by an explosion of innovation and genius, per capita rates of which appear to have declined subsequently. The presence of dysgenic fertility for IQ amongst Western nations, starting in the 19th century, suggests that these trends might be related to declining IQ. This is because high-IQ people are more productive and more creative. We tested the hypothesis that the Victorians were cleverer than modern populations, using high-quality instruments, namely measures of simple visual reaction time in a meta-analytic study. Simple reaction time measures correlate substantially with measures of general intelligence (g) and are considered elementary measures of cognition. In this study we used the data on the secular slowing of simple reaction time described in a meta-analysis of 14 age-matched studies from Western countries conducted between 1889 and 2004 to estimate the decline in g that may have resulted from the presence of dysgenic fertility. Using psychometric meta-analysis we computed the true correlation between simple reaction time and g, yielding a decline of − 1.16 IQ points per decade or − 13.35 IQ points since Victorian times. These findings strongly indicate that with respect to g the Victorians were substantially cleverer than modern Western populations.’The Flynn effect is horse shit.

>>94914947>Says the same thing I said in other wordsOkay...?Go read >>94914309 again, you said the same thing, except including the last part of your comment that is not because of women's iq, but because of women's role in the past and life choices in the present. You even included things like making statues when those were made by the wage cucks of their age, forced to work from morning to night either as slaves or as money slaves, while women had the asy role of raising children, cooking and cleaning. Why did the smarter part of society choose the worse jobs? Oh, wait, I think we both know the answer. And it's not because women were smarter, but because those jobs were either physicals jobs or simply women were nor permitted to do it by their husbands.I am glad we both agree, even if you still don't get it
>>94914961Based Bob Unruh
>>94915013That’s a lot of words for a woman. You’re going to get yourself hurt.
>>94915013Are women smarter on average—or just more average? This may sound the same to you, but I can assure you it’s not the same.
>>94914961>Study from 2024So after Tiktok's nation attacked. Btw, it should study the global population IQ, or the nation's. That people in the past doing grads were smarter is a no shit sherlock thing, as it was a more competitive place with few people studying, so the ones that did it were top of the top. Nowadays everyone knows a lot of people that did one or two, because the people that started doing them increased inmensively, so that includes the average folks that 80 years ago wouldn't even try one, but the average folk nowadays does it anyway
>>94914850That's too bad, brother. Have a random CYOA.
>>94915054>Perhaps the phrasing would be better with "the average woman is much less likely to be a retard"I think I got it on my own
>>94915092
>>94915104The average woman is much less likely to be smart.
Jews are smarter than everyone else.
>>94915122And much less likely to be a retard, yes, I think we got that right. I would trust 5 random women with godlike power more than men, with men you have more probabilities of retards or geniuses thinking they can and will make plans to take you out. An average person is more safe than any extreme
>>94913341remind me again why biokinetic is more interesting than inventor or sorcerer

>>94915490>more than any engineering projectfuck you
>>94915505Sorry anon, life is so beautiful desu
>>94915490Inventor and sorcerer are not limited to engineering and can do life.
>>94915603not as fun
>>94915603Yes, they can do life but biokinetic CAN do life.Engineer has a limited amount of tech at once, as he needs maintenance. Also needs times and resources only to make something the biokinetic can do instantly and without effort. And just to never reach the godly heights of the biokinetic and his eldritch creations.The sorcerer is the same but instead of making a limited amount of machines to do anything semi useful he needs materials and time each time, being less reproducible than Inventor.Just think about how even the biokinetic needs time and effort to make the best possible creations of his domain. The Inventor and Sorcerer are hopeless if they try to replicate even one of those.Still, it's personal taste. I also like more the biokinetic but I understand the appeal of the other two and in other points of my life I see myself taking them, but not now
>>94915668I think you're just impatient.
>>94915726They lack the speed and the height of life that interests me. Those two are jack of all trades that need time to replicate lower-mid feats,
>>94915751>jack of all tradesInventor isn't. Sorcerer kind of is. It has its own strengths too, it has no upper ceiling I think, compared to the others. It would benefit the most from everyone working together.
>>94915726inventor and sorcerer have potential and are powerful with time but that's the problem, no enemy you meet is going to give you a heads up of what they are capable and give you time to prepare and counter their abilities, if you get caught with your pants down or are just unlucky to be in the wrong place at the wrong time there is not much you can do with your human durability and reflexes/speed
>>94915822The sorcerer has his internal spell slots + WOG is that most abilities presented in magic journey cyoa are low & very low level spells that the sorcerer can cast in an instant with no requirements or almost no requirements, so it gives you an idea of how fast and responsive he can be with the very bottom layer of his repertoire. It's not like he needs time for everything all the time.The inventer needs time at first but when your tech is done, you have your time-bending combat suit, your defense nanobots swarm, your teleporting belt, your semi-intelligent forcefields generators and god knows how many more weapons on you at all time and you can activate them as freely as you want or even automate them.
>The whole array of abilities offered by the Magic Journey CYOA (besides a few of the most powerful ones) in their initial state is pretty much comparable to what the Sorcerer can do with either just a thought or with a few gestures and words at most. So yeah, these Superpowers are much more powerful. They're in a league that is either similar, or very close, to that of entities like the Numerogon and Senris.What the hell was strong enough to need all 6 of them to work together to defeat it with 1.5 billion casualties?
>>94915822>no enemy you meet is going to give you a heads up of what they are capable and give you time to prepare and counter their abilitiesUnless you know the future, but who can do that?... wait.Inventor and sorcerer are, given time, the absolute strongest of the 6.
>>94915813Both are jack of all trades, as in they can produce basically almost any effect possible. Sorcerer is the most versatile of the two but also suffers from being harder to do and his spells being a one time thing instead of just machines that can be used several times.
>>94915860An Entity from Worm or something on the same powerlevel, most likely.
>>94915860In setting lore: IDKMeta lore: A Son that fucked around
>>94915866The absolute strongest is the Body, unless you think "given time" means "let me do my rituals for weeks to damage you pretty please" which is like saying I am stronger than a professional boxer if he lets me hit him 10 times with a metal bat to the head
>>94915869The limitations of sorcerer and inventor are both mostly "false". Inventor can make "normal" devices that won't break for no reason and do magic by making himself a mage. Sorcerer can make "normal" devices, magical items or, hell, give himself permanent abilities.Both are just different flavors of "do everything".>>94915902>The absolute strongest is the BodyBody can't even find any of the others if they don't want him to.>telekinetic can become invisible, inaudible, etc. using fine telekinesis>biokinetic can shapeshift, not show any abnormal signs, or become super small>telepath can be anyone, anywhere>sorcerer casts an anti-detection spell>inventor creates a device to make himself invisible, inaudible, etc.Body is so fucking bad lmao.
>>94915866Body's whole stick is "The Strongest". The point of the cyoa is that that doesn't matter. The only reason you should take it is if you like it, otherwise it's not as useful as the fun powers. Getting into a fight at all is a bad idea.
>>94915860The fact that 6 world ending powered people plus him only caused 1.5 billion casualties means he got beated to a pulp relatively quickly without having to go all out.Also, how the heck is the terrain too damaged to be restored in decades or even centuries? Is this time frame with normal human standards? Because Biokinetic + Inventor + Telekinetic + Sorcerer, all of them on their own should be capable of helping it inmensively and working together they are terraforming whole planets.Is it because of some power of the enemy or because of some kind of long lasting effect of the battle?
>>94915968>Body can't even find any of the others>Adaptational aurathose count as defences
>>94915968>Body can't even find any of the others if they don't want him to.>Can see especific events planets away>Can hear whispers on the other side of the planet>Presumibly also almost limitless smell rangeWith that kind of power, you don't need much to detect anyone. Biokinetic has no chance to escape, he has to make some type of sign in the world. Even moving a little or touching something is noise enough, even having a little smell is enough and he can't be small enough to compare to being capable of seeing events planets away.Telepaths has known methods to be detected he is possessing someone, he is hard but not impossible.Sorcerer and Inventor can do those things, but you are failing to see the making of those things is a give away before and after.While they are making it the Body knows, and after they made it the Body knows everything but those locations, which is another give away.Is telekinetic capable of affecting light and energy waves? he can affect inanimate matter, not energy. Let's not summon matterfagBody is THE fighter, in exchange he is a one trick ponny
Is the skeletal lich the quintessential villain as far as becoming a monster goes? I've given a lot of thought to narrowing down the excess of suitable creatures I'd want to transform into to begin an adventure for committing Saturday morning cartoon supervillainy and I think that's the one I've arrived at in the end. That one CYOA with the lich that basically chooses you to succeed him and leaves his secrets with you is also a classic for me. On the other hand, I'm considering something more alien, more eldritch. It's also a distinctly eerie vibe, but of a different sort. The lich still might win out in terms of aethetics, though.
>>94916043I think becoming a dragon is more iconic if you count thgat as a monster
>>94916028>Can see especific events planets awayIf there is nothing blocking him. No xray vision.>almost limitless smell rangeThat's not how smell works. Traces enter nose -> smell. Your nose isn't in a quantum radius around you picking up all the chemicals.
>>94916052Dragon was my third place option. I ruled it out for personal use in the end because I just don't want to be that incompatible with interacting with worlds largely for and by humanoids. The enormous size and bestial posture would restrict daily life a little too much. They are definitely awesome final boss transformations, though, and I don't think there exists a better template for such a combat form.
>>94916061>That's not how smell works. Traces enter nose -> smell. Your nose isn't in a quantum radius around you picking up all the chemicals.It's a superpower.Sound shouldn't be capable of be detected in the other point of the planet and even more if it's a whisper. The body still does it. How? sound waves don't travel that long. It does. Is a superpower. Smell follows the same principle, how? it's a superpower, that's it.
>>94916088>Sound shouldn't be capable of be detected in the other point of the planet and even more if it's a whisper. The body still does it. How?The most likely is by sensing and automatically understanding by instinct the extremely subtle gravitational field of the sound.
>>94916114*While this can also be applied to smell, the range is certainly not "almost limitless".
>>94915968my brother in christ, body description states that "whatever it takes", his aura will amplify all his attributes until he "outclasses his opponent".If he's fighting the Telepath, that means esoteric senses to literally see the telepathic network that covers the planet and the ability to punch through and reach the Telepath's true mind directly with his fists. the moment the body thinks he's in a situation of combat and starts ramping up, yout best bet is to throw everything at him, if possible a high variety of attacks, and to hope that the body aura can't follow and something sticks. And the second something sticks, you stack damage on it as much as you can and as fast as possible before his aura makes him immune to it.
>>94911435Italics here. If Cogency was to ever receive an updated version (Ignoring power area) what do you guys think should be added or greatly expanded upon to make it more immersive as a superpower CYOA for you to enjoy?
>>94916159catto sexo.
>>94916061Body is thematically the one-trick fighting pony. It's conceivable it has some way to sense you if there's something blocking or whatever. If not, their aura will probably let them. The author stated there's no easy way to counter each other, same should go for Body. "Just" going invisible isn't going to cut it.
>>94916159Panties.
>>94916159I would like an item page with things to help doing missions or even something like the rings of Pokemon personified to have a canon lover
>>94916153>yout best bet is to throw everything at him, if possible a high variety of attacks, and to hope that the body aura can't follow and something sticks. And the second something sticks, you stack damage on it as much as you can and as fast as possible before his aura makes him immune to it.^This. Sorcerer and Biokinetic are best bets for actually killing them off. Body isn't unkillable, but he's like Maharoga. Telekinetic can only do telekinetic attacks, Inventor will be great if he's prepared, but even then he can't really build on the fly. Telepath could theoretically mind control maybe the Sub-Superpowers, but outside of that they just got mental attacks. Sorc can and should be storing a huge variety of esoteric spells, while Biokinetic probably has the best chance, being able to make mutations on the fly, and can store up a variety of minions with esoteric powers. Again though, if they aren't stupid they'll notice you doing all that.
>>94916159It's fine as is
>>94916159>Desperately trying not to be discussionmogged by a one-pager
>>94916159Does the Telekinetic Explosion slash work like Sukuna's?
Body's upside is it has the best odds for actually killing the other 5 day one. Inventor & Sorcerer haven't had time to scale much, Telekinetic can't harm you because you're immune to all physical attacks and you can harm it because you can genuinely attack it with multi-atomic bomb level payloads. Biokinetic hasn't had time to experiment with magical capabilities. You can speed blitz basically everyone except maybe Biokinetic & Telepath, and those you just need to get your hands dirty.
>>94916312>Anon is going to destroy the world for no reason
STOP powergaming. START cooperating with your fellow man.
>>94916217>Sorcerer and Biokinetic are best bets for actually killing them off.Sorcerer more so. It doesn't have to test Body's weaknesses during battle, unlike Biokinetic. A spell to know the enemy's weaknesses and a spell to know which actions to take that will lead to victory would win basically any battle (and if a battle cannot be won, there are spells that would let Sorcerer know long before the battle would ever happen). Sorcerer (a smart one) would never fight a battle that wouldn't somehow benefit it.
So shitalics really went full slop. Giving sloppingical a run for his money now.
