OP is last thread's OC btw.
>>96682973>Fast Typist>Ghost Writer>Limitless>MarketingVery nice. Effectively 16 hours of work every day for free, plus everything I do myself being doubled.>>96683039Ghost writer is also more effective compared to fast typist if you don't spend as much time writing.
>>96683085I was talking about the thread question...
>>96682973>Fast Typist>Ghost Writer>Limitless>Planning>It's not loss I am the bone of my book. Paper is my body and ink is my blood. I have created over a thousand books. Unaware of loss, Nor aware of gain. Withstood pain to create novels, waiting for one’s arrival. I have no regrets. This is the only path. My whole life was Unlimited Book Works.
>>96682973>tqEither option works, as long as you avoid the middle where languages are unimportant and annoying to deal with but still impossible to ignore. Generally I think most CYOAs are better off handwaving language barriers, since you're probably not doing anything interesting with languages, but if you are doing something interesting, that's cool and can work.
How long is Italics going be held a POW by the Elves? The skeleton peasantry are starving.
>>96683204>skeletons need calcium-rich foods to subsist for all that hydroxyapatiteI like it.
so, when I exchange two rolls for a choice, can I only do that once, or can I trade four for two choices?
>>96683556>He's still playing oldtropistLmao. Jokes aside Entropist has very bad replay value
>>96682973where the hell is Stoned Celt folder in the allysync archive?>>96683603maybe it is his first time anon, also all cyoas have a bad replay value if you self insert like some of us like to. making multiple build for the same cyoa is cringe
>>96682973>thread questionwho would want to have a language barrier?
>>96683556It doesn't say you can't and its not like its op, in fact, its way wrose potentially. If I were you, I would just let luck decide, there is ton of good options and you have 5 tries plus 1 selected choice if you post build. With that I had the luck to land 3 times on gifts, so I have them all plus they all get buffed 3 times making them potentially the strongest gifts, Hound power for power, even more Dreamlands power and can travel physically there and the super weapon with Dark Smite.Let fate guide you>>96683603>>96683680My problem with Entropist is I would prefer to be a Conqueror of the Hound, so I am kinda waiting for it
>>96683722>jobber houndlet
>>96683906Houndlets's journey is the definition of chad.
>>96683927>dying as a snack to someone else is the definition of chad
>>96683965That's only if you lose. It has the highest potential of any other faction. Being a Son is the most comfy option, but also the coward option.
>>9668401795% of Houndlets are snacks living off "Nah, I'd win" logic.Being a Son is the rational pick.
Question for Tok if he still frequents these parts. In Dungeons and Deviants, if you take Lone Wolf with Demonology, does the negative effect of Lone Wolf screw over the Succubi?
>>96684029Taking risks is part of life. Sons are also not without problems on their own. Being, any Tempered Hero, True Goddesses or True AIs. Unlike them, the conquerors do not have a weakness.
>>96684029That's how losers think.
>>96684037>Tempered Hero, True Goddesses or True AIsAll irrelevants if you're in Dreamland or your pocket dimension. You just need to set up a soul farm.
>>96684044In Dreamlands you are still in danger. Without the power of the gacha or transforming into a sheep, you can't travel to the Dreamlands physically, you leave a body behind that is still your weakpoint.The harpoon can bring down people from the dreamlands, who says there isn't a way for the rest of factions to do the same?In the Dreamlands the guys with the biggest foothold are the being from the Perfect Prince faction, enemies of the Father. The Perfect Prince faction is specially empowered by the Dreamlands too.We have an example with Grim of a Tempered Hero that can travel to the Dreamlands physically.And what pocket dimension? None of the powers give you a pocket dimension, the closest is Pluto's den, and you would be a laughing stock by hiding there. Any soul farm can be broken by outsider forces.Everyone in the setting is subjected to risks, the ones that carry the least are the four strongest gods, and only being a conqueror gives you a way to become one
>>96684044You can't be safe unless you're a top dog. Comfyfags are bound to get steamrolled.
>>96684068By pocket dimension he means entering a phylactery and living in your sanctum. But that is still retarded as a plan to stay safe as phylacteries are magical items that give off a strong magic signal and can be broken. It is like trying to hide in a lighthouse. Elder Sons stay there not because they are hiding, but because they can be protected by their forces, which is still dangerous if someone strong comes and they are jacking off inside a dimension jacking off

Here’s a question.Assuming you actually get thrown into a cyoa after making a build, do you assume you remember making said choices? Or amnesia?
>>96684150Broad strokes, like I'd remember an average workday.
>>96684150>do you assume you remember making said choices?Yes.Those of my builds in which I wouldn't remember the choices I made, are fully non-selfinserts.
>>96684150Yes, otherwise it's not me.
>>96684150This is why cyoas don’t make sense.
>>96684172Say it louder for those in the back!!
Realistically what can NEET Sons even do against a Hound if he decided to fuck their shit up? While you sent your eternity cooming in your goon cave, he was out there playing the most brutal doomslayer session ever. Once he felt confident to hunt and kill Sons its over for you. Especially comfyfags which are bottom of the barrel in the Sons power hierarchy.
>>96684172They make perfect sense if you assume it to be some sort of simulation technology! Don’t care if it’s future technology or alien technology.
>>96684188...stack up Gifts and let them defend you?
>>96684208A NEET Son's Gifts are as much jobbers as their master. Why? because he only uses them for constant sex instead of letting them train or go on campaigns to acquire power and experience.
>>96684240B-But Anon told me harem and hedonistic utopias were the true goal of escapism...
>>96684188Stronger Sons will defend you. Alternatively, don't pick multiplayer.
Life is a gym. If you stop constant training to do other things, you deserve to die. I won't be defending you.
>>96684188I'd cockroachmaxxx my way out by running away.
>>96684274Just sitting down for one hour a day lowers one’s life expectancy drastically
>>96684188>he was out there playing the most brutal doomslayer session everAnd just like most brutal doomslayer sessions, they die except for the top 1% (which means not any of the "Nah, I'd win" jobbers)
>>96684267>"Big bro will protect meee!C'mon anon really? also Hounds exist in solo. You can't just assume you'll never meet a hostile Hound just because they're not players.
>remember my choices to my cyoa>remember that it was made by some anon Ah shit it’s all a schizophrenic loop
>>96684288But what if that 1% decided to come for you? If we're talking multiplayer at least 1 (if we're grim with our estimates) anon will make to the big leagues, you can't just keep coping with that sad excuse forever. You're basically the equivalent of kid shutting their eyes and hiding under a blanket hoping the monsters will go away.
>>96684289>C'mon anon really?I don't see a reason to skip on Soleac. I will enjoy my peace.
What if an author got sucked into their own cyoa? What would this mean?
>>96684326Metaknowledge+.The world is bound to fill the blanks the author left behind - that's his blindspots.How it goes heavily depends on what CYOA we're talking about.
>>96684311Because I don't expect any Hound with the "Nah I'd win" mentality like yours will achieve anything of note. And sure, you can go and keep going with hypotheticals and saying "NOOOO YOU CANT CRY TO BIG BROTHER"! But that's the trade off between sons vs hounds. Sons get a social network while Hounds get more individual power.
>>96684326>>96684336It actually means some alien stole the authors idea and made a game out of it.
>>96684351Oh good, you're here. Now I don't need to bum the thread manually.Err, I mean...Esteemed anonymous poster, could you elaborate on that alien? It seems like a refreshing thought experiment for these hallowed threads.
>>96684351GOD DAMNED ALIEN CHINESE
>>96684358You just have to assume that the alien sent the cyoa author into his own idea as a giant Fuck You, or perhaps even as a big Thank You. I’m not really sure. It all depends on the alien.
Would a Son and Hound merge into a Hon or a Sound? What is their combined form?
>>96684342>Because I don't expect any Hound with the "Nah I'd win" mentality like yours will achieve anything of note. And why is that? You know that a aggression, ambition and intelligence aren't mutually exclusive right? Every conqueror in history had a "Nah I'd win mentality" that's how they managed to change the course of history. Stop projecting your inadequacies on others Jobbe-kun.
>>96684377Shut the fuck up Matterwhore you don't know shit about cyoas. Now give me a tit-job with you giant khazar milkers.
But I don’t want my ideas stolen by aliens
>Honeymoon : Matterwife is so cute! I'm going to love her forever!>Two months into the marriage: >>96684400I know it's all shitposting, but it still makes me laugh.
>>96684407Too bad. Humans evolved conveniently to align with alien technologies. This is why the Earth even exists. It’s all a game. We’ve all been planned from the start. :)
>>96684410It’s more sad how lonely some anons are
>>96684342Sons are very distant to each other tho. Their relationship are described as "they sometimes meet in the wild, exchange some gifts, maybe the older one helps the younger one in something quick and they part ways, to never call each other again" They are a group that tends to go solo and don't ask each other for help. You are describing the Mother's side.Remember when Pluto's den was talked about, one anon asked if Plut would lend a loan and the answer was they would laught at the anon and think it was a joke.So Big Bro wouldn't help unless youi have the luck to meet him while the Houndlet is attacking youThe tradeoff between Sons and Hounds is Sons get ultiple forms to get multiple lives, being the cockroaches of the big 4 factions. Meanwhile Hounds get 1 life.
>>96684384Houndson
Why do men act so gay around each other
>>96684389The 1%. The ones with actual intelligence, not a "Nah I'd win" ghetto tard, but "I prepared and set up many thing in my favor". Even then, they jobbed too. Caesar? Jobbed to old faggots. Napoleon? Jobbed to snow and trapped (twice). Genghis Khan? Jobbed to gravity.
>>96684433They're lonely. People here are indulging in the same CYOAs as them, which is a connection. It's as close to human warmth some of them will get.
>>96684433That's just normal male bonding and friendship. If you aren't acting even a little gay with your bros are you really friends?
>>96684433women also do it. It's honestly the 0 pressure of kknowing you don't like guys. Did you notice how much easier is to talk with ugly women? its because you don't have interest in them, men are even better in that sense because ugly women are still women. As a hteterosexual men, other men are the comfiest to talk with. You can make gay jokes because you know you won't fuck them nor you are fucking up something, its just aj joke.Women are gay around each other because there is a lot of women that are bisexual compared to men that are bisexuals. Women are the fairer sex after all
>>96684433It's a sign of comfort.
https://imgchest.com/p/5xy2dagn7ld
>>96684407Humans also "steal" alien ideas ;)And they might not even be aware of it. It could come to them in dreams for instance.
>>96684410hey, he at least still loves her body
>>96684326Every smart author secretly leaves an isekai escape hatch somewhere in their lore, so that if it happens they can just say the right password to get phenomenal wealth and/or cosmic powers.
>>96684441Men amongst men are way gayer than women amongst women sorry
>>96684150Depends on the narrative framework of the cyoa. I can think of many that specify or at the very least imply. If not, I make that call myself. I’m rather fond of the “buried memories” concept, wherein I’m still operating as myself more or less with my returning memories as a driving plot point
>>96682939Being a tiny humanoid is the BEST partBut yes, I had already conceptualized of a drawback that reduces you to just a glowing orb, Navi style. Can't see how that'd be preferable to being a humanoid, though
>>96684474but women amongst women are way more lesbian
>>96684667I think Navi is intended to be a full humanoid and the glowing orb is a simplification for ease of visibility/depiction in early 3D.
>>96684426I don't see the cyoa being successful. Nobody wants to play as a jobber houndlet and the people who liked entropist won't like that they will never be top tiers because conquerors are the only ones who can reach that level.
>>96684757>Nobody wants to play as a houndletPeople do. I do.>won't like that they will never be top tiers because conquerors are the only ones who can reach that level.Sons never reaching the level of the Father was a given. It only added a sub faction of the Hound, that fights the Hound, that could do it. It didn't nerf the sons
>>96684757Everyone will see himself as "the Houndlet that wins".
anyone remember the name of that cyoa where you choose the type of ship you want and then your crew? i know its vague but all that i remember is that there was an option for a entirely biological ship, and that among the crew/companions offered there was a classic mailman woman, a guy who liked to troll robots and a masseur who would just walk around naked
>>96684188Take their phylacteries and gtfo? Being able to survive a situation like this is the main perks of being a Son.
>>96684843Lore accurate. Conquerors are retired, planning to retire, or delusional. Of course, it's only a delusion until one of them wins. 1/+999,999,999,999,999 Conquerors is actually built different and ontologically cannot lose because he's just that good. The trick is that you can't tell if you're fighting him or one of the vigintillion jobbers, because most of them look identical from the outside.
>>96682988This one is so odd. It really seems like there’s a lot going on at first, but it doesn’t do anything with the choices it gives you nor does it spend enough time contextualizing the choices. It really would be much better if it ditched the trial or at least changed it to a drawback section, then used that extra space actually fleshing out the world.
>>96684874>The trick is that you can't tell if you're fighting him or one of the vigintillion jobbers, because most of them look identical from the outside.No, the actual trick is to be that 1/Infinity exception. The mere fight you could be fighting him implies you're also fodder.
>>96684874In my case depends on how deep in I am until I get all the Consorts. If I am too deep in, it's all in. If I am still in a good point, I retire
>>96684882Its unfinished. Havelthingy (the author) basically gave up half way and vanished. I think the setting is based on the web serial "Pact" (by the same guy who made Worm) but I could be wrong.
>>96684910Oh, really? I enjoyed Worm quite a bit at first, I might have to check out Pact once I wrap up Malazan
>>96684747Yes, I know. Even Miyamoto saw the truth, but was tragically held back by the limitations of technology
>>96684737The CYOA itself, if I ever actually found the time/energy to make it (unlikely), would be completely SFW with, at most, some optional romantic undertonesBut yes, the /potential/ for those aspects is enjoyable for me as well
Terrible news Baf investors>(Tankista)I think it wouldn't be fair to make it so that Baf would get the benefits of both Erginter or Xian from that. It should be only one of the two, depending on her choice. So it'd be either Erginter with all of her gifts besides the ones she got from Xian (but she would still have Daemonhost from the Demon Lord on the Mamet continent she had killed anyway), or Xian. Baf would prefer to choose just Xian, which is the whole point of her ambition.>(Tankista)I know I've said before in response to a question to how it works that since Erginter's body is empty, neither Xian nor Erginter would possess Baf, some people took it to mean that she can take the abilities of both for some reason. This shouldn't be the case. Due to the way their logic error was resolved, this still counts as two people, and Baf can only target one. It's still great but not as broken as before
>>96685041He contradicts himself.
>>96685041I've already resigned my builds to the scrap bin since nothing but nerfs have been announced.
>>96685041Meh. It's only an issue for powerfags, and V3 seems geared towards Siblings anyway.
>>96685001I don't need it to be NSFW or anything, I'm just saying what I'm totally going to imagine myself getting up to. If there's a Princess Zelda to my Link then she better be prepared for unrequited feelings because he's mine.
>>96685075We should torrential tide too, make one big family spread out over 3 continents
>>96685085Stop trying to enforce continental gayness and play as intended.
>>96685075>V3 seems geared towards Siblings anyway.He said he's also going to buff the (narrative) language bonuses too
>>96685085Yes, this time it won't be just three anons making 60% of the builds again.
>>96685095>tfw you don't know if it's sarcasm or notY-Yeah, same...
>>96685093Generic +5 or +10 base points added and languages now just grant Insular effects that diminish as you learn more languages ie learn Everman and your choice of language so you don't get point fucked tutoring other characters.
>>96685101It's sarcasm, 3-4 anons admitted to having made multiple builds so it wasn't just 1
Does anyone but autists really care about multiple builds? The degree of interacting was literally just getting sorted into a group that you can think about interacting with. No one actually did much besides say how fucked 00/the world/anons are.
>>96685084Just from an overall setting standpoint, being the fairy helper and supporting the mute hero as they travel around on their journey has been completely dominating my brain lately. I feel like there's a lot of fun and unique dynamics there (both gameplay-wise and romance-wise)Could make an interesting video game too, if not a CYOA. Kind of vaguely adjacent to the autobattler genre?
>>96685041Baffags are more insufferable than Keterfags so I'm happy with this.
>>96685136Autobattlers have been popular lately, but I haven't seen any define you with an intimate role aside from the character you're guiding. It could definitely work though, especially if you added VN elements/a social system of some kind showing you interacting with your hero.
>>96685127Anon there is nothing BUT autists here.But you're right, caring about build plurality made more sense for the melting pot outer tide than this one.
>>96685127>>96685151I think it's just one guy who is really obsessed with spotting and outing 'bugtranny' because she did something that pissed him off in the past and now he's sworn a blood feud.
I don't care about it but I made multiple builds so I'm biased
>>96685160The funniest part is that it wasn't even the same guy from Worm that twisted his panties. I would know.

>>96685160Bugtranny and Sakura posters are based. I would let them fuck me (no, I am not matterwife)
>>96685160I wonder what kind of thread experience that is. Rereading every post just to see if they match your mental model of someone (then being angry when they do).
>>96685171Sons have weaknesses but unlike Houndlets, they also have strengths. They delete demiurges that hard-counter almost everyone else, and likewise with demon infestations.
what would be the best location for you to live in on the Doria continent as an unnotable civilian?
General Question: At what point would you say a CYOA get's so bogged down in mechanics that it's closer to an actual TTRPG character builder than a CYOA? Post examples that you think straddle the line.
>>96685223That's true, but demiurgues countering everyone else is also a problem houndlets don't have.Sons are giving away weaknesses in exchange of strength, like deciding the types of pokemon. But the best option is to not specialize yourself, if you had to choose, would you choose to be better against 3 types of enemies in exchange of being weaker to another 3 types? I find the neutral nature of houndlets better in the long run. Better than a fire type steamrolling the grass gym but shitting breaks against the water gym

>>96685309>Earth cosplayer (civil war included)
>>96685307You are a civilian.
>>96685160>I think it's just one guy who is really obsessed with spotting and outing 'bugtranny' because she did something that pissed him off in the past and now he's sworn a blood feud.That's me. I hate the bugtranny like you wouldn't believe. I would do untold things to them if given the chance. I'm talking "worse than the Cartel" levels of torture. Anyway back to my daily mantra;>Kill the bugtranny. Behead the bugtranny. Roundhouse kick the bugtranny into the concrete. Slam dunk bugtranny into the trashcan. Crucify filthy bugtranny. Defecate in bugtranny's food. Launch bugtranny into the sun. Stir fry bugtranny in a wok. Toss bugtranny into active volcanoes. Urinate into a bugtranny's gas tank. Judo throw bugtranny into a wood chipper. Twist bugtranny's heads off. Report bugtranny to the FBI. Karate chop bugtranny in half. Curb stomp bugtranny. Trap bugtranny in quicksand. Crush bugtranny in the trash compactor. Liquefy bugtranny in a vat of acid. Eat bugtranny. Dissect bugtranny. Exterminate bugtranny in the gas chamber. Stomp bugtranny's skulls with steel toed boots. Cremate bugtranny in the oven. Lobotomize bugtranny. Mandatory vasectomy for bugtranny. Grind bugtranny in the garbage disposal. Drown bugtranny in fried chicken grease. Vaporize bugtranny with a ray gun. Kick bugtranny down the stairs. Feed bugtranny to alligators. Slice bugtranny with a katana...

>>96685387Gay. Also you can't prevent a homicide with your genitals.
>>96685318That's why True Goddesses employ their services. But in that case Houndlets are better because the rest of factions usually ignore them, they don't want to make a houndlet an enemy because he could get too obsessed, grind some worlds and return too powerful. Sons have enemies and because of their strengths, sometimes they can make temporal alliances, because of how Houndlets work they usually are left alone because its too dangerous to make an enemy of one of them if they end up surviving.

Whatever you do. Don’t use anime art.
>>96685270I agree, it's better to have no weaknesses than to have strengths and weaknesses. The hard part is that a Houndlet has no innate advantages against any enemy. Against extremely powerful foes, like most Demiurges, a Demon Lord, or Exquisite Noble, there's no way of circumventing the challenge, all of that strength is frontloaded and can't be, just by the Houndlet's innate nature, bypassed. The only way out is through. Sons can roll over any soul-oriented enemy and mortals, the most numerous creature by far, are vulnerable to entropic magic. If they run into a hard counter, they have abundant options to survive and get others to help them. A Conqueror has no hard counters but everything is a counter. They've got to be extremely good at their strategy, not only that, they need to be consistently extremely good and lucky enough that they never fall to the 1% odds of death in any given fight against a peer foe. Late-stage Conquerors aren't just extremely strong and extremely skilled, they're also extremely lucky. If they weren't, they would've died eons before reaching a Son's level.

>>96685676Ooh do me, I want to know which CYOA companions I'd be instinctually drawn to>>96685653
>>96685641I agree overall but I disagree in a few things.1. Sons also don't have anything against Exquisite Nobles, they are neutral against each other, like the Conquerors. Sons have 3 weakness and have 3 strengths. Unless you mean that the nature of the challenges would prevent them from fleeing, but we also know they can travel the multiverse, so how all of that works is unknown for now2. The most numerous creatures are vulnerable to entropic magic, but are not weak against it. They are also neutral about it.3. Hard counters can follow. If you mean buying forces that is something the Conquerors can also do. At some point the Conquerors get the ability to travel the multiverse too. 4. The Conqueror has no hard counters and also has no counters at all. Its their whole thing. Saying that being neutral is having a counter is like saying Exquisite nobles are the counters of Sons because they are neutral about each other.The rest I agree

What's stopping anything in Entropist universe from double dipping as a Hardened Hero / X?
>>96685623It annoys me to an unreasonable degree that the tiling of dots in the background is fucked up. I can't play this.
>>96685700Emotional proximity/trust where the partner's inner self truly is for your eyes alone, most likely.
>>96685723Always remember to be glad you're not autistic
>>96685723I refuse to believe someone is that autistic about dots. Background dots. In a one-pager.
>>96685716>Hardened Hero / Xdo you mean Tempered Hero? and the nature of becoming a Tempered hero is what is stopping them. In theory is such a hard task that is made from strife and hardship that if a genociding empire killed all of our planet with their 8B people, probably not even 1 would be born
>>96685745>No examples to fawn over ;_;Probably accurate, though
You actually can achieve effective Caster Intuition even if you start as a full Giftless unnotable one. Wisdom and Martial Instinct too. Then you can try to find someone trustworthy with Spirit Tap or the right cursed item (x2 is preferable, but x1 is enough, and more realistic). The Majin automatically understand Meaning of their spells, so you can record them while being Tapped. Turn yourself into a walking Demonic Bukvar'. Even if the vast majority of the spells are nothing special, if you keep doing this shit to yourself for years, YMRD may smile at your desperate gamble for power.
>>96685770>yet another gamble for powerWhy would I?
>>96685779Why not?
>>96685784Without a clear goal, it's just efforts and planning for "nothing". Why would I?
>>96682973>Writing Ruby Till She SparksThis will give you all the financial freedom you ever need. Not only can you write the perfect wife into existence, but you can also make them the ultimate breadwinner who is a CEO of a major corporation that can also be a great benefit to humanity. Although she can't have superpowers she can still be near superhuman. She could even be written to have skills that would cover the other perks (planning, limitless, strongest link, marketing, and more mediums).>SidekickCan be used in conjunction with WRTSS. Allowing you to obtain the after mentioned skills for yourself just by observing your jack of all trade wife.>Genre QueenSomeone had mention Science Fantasy is technically a genre. Something akin to Chronicles Of Amber.
>>96685770Any plan that relies upon Chance, is a plan fit only for the desperate or the stupid.
>>96676785I'm still alive. I just work different hours, still doing CYOAs.
>>96685797It's up to you to find your own Meaning. I personally very much see it in attempts to raise above your unnotable state.
>>96685716Pressure. To be a Tempered Hero you've got to withstand impossible odds and survive, repeatedly. If you're already powerful you aren't likely to be fighting impossible odds, as you're level with them, and if you have any means of resurrecting, that vastly reduces the pressure. Most powerful people aren't capable of becoming Tempered Heroes because they're already powerful and won't undergo that kind of pressure. One example of this is the martial artist from Entropist, he's not a Tempered Hero, not even close, but his full strength and avenues of progression mean it's a moot point. Becoming a Tempered Hero doesn't make you vastly stronger straightaway, it opens you up to continue improving and new routes to do so. We don't know much about it but EA mentioned that one of the antagonists for Exalted Conquest, pic related, is on the brink of becoming a Tempered Hero and wouldn't become too much more difficult to slay if he did.
>>96685759Isn't that literally what Hounds try to do.
>>96685812It's "Nah, YMRD will definitely smile upon me and my gamble like in my korean webtoons".A variant of "Nah, I'd win".
>>96685041The only real interesting thing in Erginter's skillset is Archdrakodaemon's gimmick she stole. Her random shoplist build (if we very generously assume she managed to pick every single gift which is not limited by slots and had maxed out Multiocular O) is just junk food for Leimeie+Tenyota combination. And you can just do that but better with aranea build.Xian managed to fight all of that bloated gifts list with just his special Daemnonhost with Intelligence, Wisdom, Cognitive Speed and Everlasting anyway.
>>96685821I'm a victim of severe retardation. This dude'll probably in the enemy troop tree for Estelar, if EA still plans on having the whole strong foes thing .
>>96685812You can achieve effective Wis, not effective Int. It is what it is.
>>96685824Yes, thats why of all factions, Houndlets are the most probable to become one
>>96685824Pretty much yeah. The difference is that the souls of heroes go through enough struggle to be reforged, while Houndlets have the Hound of Conquest empowering them for winning. It's possible to do both but requires constant personal struggle against stronger opponents, which most smart Houndlets will avoid where they can.
>>96685821>>96685836Pelayo is spanishTM so its Estelar Empire or Southeast kaise.Pelayo in theory if you wait too much can become a tempered hero and get a power up
>>96685815That's a dull response. Assume for a moment that I am an unnotable who somehow ignores the high fantasy nonsense that people at the Inga level get into, the distorted political environment, the speed at which Fate smothers individuals in their sleep for "muh narrative," the fact that Majin are subjected to severe discrimination, etc.Why would you want to get that strong?Strength has nothing to do with love. You don't need it to earn money. Health is inextricably linked. Cunning is more important in gaining political power.So once more. Why would I?I could see the logic for a true unnotable (dreams/delusions of grandeur) but for one of us? Not really.
>>96685869Smart Houndlets: higher chances of survivingDumb Houndlets: lower chances of surviving, unga bunga, higher chances of becoming Tempered hero out of higher chances of fighting losing battles.Still, I wouldn't want to become one from all that we know. Tempered heroes have weaknesses, like to Demiurgues, I wouldn't trade my no weakness build in exchange of fighting Sons
>>96685249If you have to be an unnotable human, I'd say Kingsmour. Uncontested territory that unlikely to be engulfed in war unless Swarmag is *really* successful or the entire Doria is, and you can maybe get out of being an unnotable civilian by joining the Daemonhunt.If you're allowed to be an unnotable of any race, be from Alef-Sylvania, because then you're an elf. Elves are better than humans, even with the looming threat of genocide by the megabitch.
>>96685770That sounds like a lot of work when you could get your spirit tap x2 friend to tap you into Baf's Fiert and then eat an outsider corpse.
>>96685898It depends on the game you're playing!If it's about raising above your station, then going from Unnotable to Inga is definitely interesting. Or perhaps it's a personal oath to get stronger. Or you just like being the strongest.Or what started as a journey to your aunt in the big city ends up with duelling Paxxia in the roof of New New York while the city burns?It's all about the narrative.
>>96685904>Dumb Houndlets: lower chances of surviving, unga bunga, higher chances of becoming Tempered hero out of higher chances of fighting losing battles.Literally me
>>96685898>Strength has nothing to do with loveYet there are people who find it attractive.>You don't need it to earn money. Yet it's much easier to earn, and, even more important, to keep money with it.>Health is inextricably linked. Yes, without modern healthcare systems you can only rely on magic.It makes sense in the case of Ersatz-like scenario. If you decided to be fully unnotable as a proper Outsider, you are a bigger fool than even Tuzik. We simply can't understand each other.
>>96685995>It makes sense in the case of Ersatz-like scenario. My thoughts exactly.>If you decided to be fully unnotable as a proper Outsider, you are a bigger fool than even Tuzik. We simply can't understand each other.True. I'd like to say there is nothing wrong with being "the Outsider who disappeared", but dodging all plot hooks for that? Besides, trying to forcefully remain weak is unnatural. Don't Zemlya your personal growth.
>>96685041I always thought Baf getting full Erginter AND Xian for 1 point was fucking stupid to be honest.
>>96686068It was a fucking steal and now it's gone because the author is a no-fun faggot.
>>96686118Getting a Xian clone for 1 point still makes her the best valued companion by far
>>96686121Xian had what, five gifts?
>>96686068It costs 1 point because unlike every other companion's special thing, it's neither something she has already or something she's fated to have, you actually have to get her into Chervolin or steal Aatginter's corpse and bring it to her. Of course we all know the Exarchate is full of jobbers so we're guaranteed to succeed before she dies from not using her Fiert, but there's still a reason her price is so low.
>>96686118>Waaaaah muh exploit!Try not to be soulless powerfaggot next time.
>>96686138Xian had two special abilities that weren't giftsHe could spawn more daemonhosts via daemonhostAnd he instantly learns what his children learn
>>96686166>>Xian had two special abilities that weren't giftsThey were both because of his letter of the damned, which is a gift.

>>96686241Demiurge is just a chill lil guy.
>>96686158>>96686177The choice between Erginter and Xian for Baf is a narrative buff since (you) giving her the choice deepens your personal connection with her and boosts her loyalty to (you), especially if you have Dei as a mother or Aat as a father.

>>96686696If the power is in the list, it's pretty much implied it will work exactly as it does within the original work but without the constraints that tie it to its original setting.But I guess the concept can be hard to understand if you're autistic.

>>96686740>but without the constraints that tie it to its original settingThat's not implied anywhere. You're also saying this in CYOAG, a place where anons often post cyoas explicitly designed to be full of trap options that fuck over the player. There is no social contract on this site.

People overlook it because they keep getting stuck on "Transmute matter into other matter", completely forgetting that the late arcs revealed alchemists could transmute abstract concepts with incalculable amounts of work.You could theoretically trade for things like luck, true love, success in life, etc, and power those abilities by cosplaying as the devil and having people willingly hand over most of their souls for a fraction of the power you can use it for.

They also called her Ishtar, but they are extinct unlike the Assyrians who are around to this day.>>96687086Yeah, but they're all Christians now. I heard that's how the Assyrian population managed to remain intact to this day in fact, because they were a group of Christians in a sea of Islam after the 7th century.
>>96686393May as well repost.>Frieren, Meruem, Senku>Frieren's worldIt seems cheap and soulless (or, even moreso) to pick a world outside of those your powers come from.Invent a Hatsu that steals memories by eating the brain (similar to Meruem stealing nen), wait for the demon king to be defeated, begin hunting demons to copy their spells, and then become the next big bad.>>96686779>Or like saying you don't have ManaNta, but humans produce mana though? If I remember tensura correctly, the only being that might be able to create magicules is Veldanava, who created everything in tensura. It's specifically used in the story, too, with high magicule density being fatal to humans and necessary for monsters, making regulating it essential to monster-human relations. It's even specifically a weakness of magicule dependence, as when the magicules are drained out of a Holy Field monsters are weakened or outright die.
>>96687345I'm an idiot. Demons dissipate into mana when they die, meaning I have to eat their brains while they're still alive.
I tried watching Fate the other night and I just could not do it. I hate that orange haired kid too much.
>>96687367He hates himself too.
>>96687367You hate a morally good natured person? Says a lot about you.
>>96687345>It seems cheap and soulless (or, even moreso) to pick a world outside of those your powers come from.It's a multicross of popular mass media franchises, if you wanted soul then you wouldn't be playing it.
I hate fate in general due to the fans(fags)
>>96687437Tru. Gilkeks are the absolute worst.
>>96687340>what the hell is the story behind bugtranny anyways?Imagine seeing this every thread for six months.
>>96687437>I hate fateCrazy toybox noises
>>96687473>for six monthsIt's already been so long...?
>>96687340>because the Akkadians, their ancestors called her IshtarThe Akkadians called her Inanna, Sargon's own daughter wrote devotionals to Inanna specifically.
>>9668747NTA but like, is that it? Just a single post every thread for only 6 months? Maybe its just cause I've seen more autistic individuals who can drag down threads for even years but this seems very tame.
>>96687502>miss one number>sent back 15 years agoNTA but it always makes me laugh.More seriously, the bug poster was (and still is) obnoxious, so spite against him rose with time.>Maybe its just cause I've seen more autistic individuals who can drag down threads for even years I don't think we have TRUE shitposters here. Just annoying and dedicated ones.

I associate cyoa authors with certain anime characters from various franchises Purely based on their personalities
>>96687570You can't just say that and not give me a list.
>>96687574I also have an author dick size chart, again based purely on personality
>>96687574you'll never know which character that anon assigned to Gil...
>>96687570>>96687579So this is what mental illness looks like.
>>96687586I guess that's why we call him the Lord of Mysteries...
>>96687586Gil is Gil you big dummy
>>96687601Idk he’s more of a Denji to me.
>>96687613Denji is too pure and wholesome to be Gil
>>96687596We don't call him that.
>>96687667All the cool kidz do.
>sample text not indicative of final productIs this readable enough?I'm not sure if I should change the point color.
>>96687473Ah. Yeah, fuck that shit.>>96687499That's peculiar, I distinctly remember learning that Inanna was the Sumerian name, and Ishtar was the Akkadian name (and IIRC the Assyrians and Babylonians spoke Akkadian). Welp, I stand corrected in that case.Anyhow, on the topic of Fate, maybe I shall bring forth another Tankista classic (?) and see what everyone's build for that one is.
>>96687757Seems fine, might be better with slightly more contrast, but I don't know if it really needs it.

>>96687008>>96687029Wouldn't it be "Venus" now though? After she got adopted by the phoneticians as "Astarte" she established multiple cults across the coast. One of those grew into the greek pantheon that called her "Aphrodite", another had trade with earlier babylonian/assyrian peoples and adopted her as "Isis", the Norse adopted her as "Freya", and the romans said "Fuck It" and re-syncrotized all the previous under the name "Venus"

>>96685623>Cheetah>Sheep>Owl>Hamster>Dog>Hedgehog>Rabbit>Cat
>>96687403Jumping in: The protagonist of Fate/Stay Night is a Reluctant Hero type who keeps lucking into incredible advantages . . .and doesn't really appreciate them. Very much the type of person who'd be happy with a simple life, raising his 2.4 kids with his wife, and never aspiring to do more.So I can understand why anon didn't like him. Shirou Emiya has magic, but never tried to learn more than enough to fix his toys. His adopted father is the famed battle mage who "won" the previous Grail War (before refusing the prize), but he never asked how or for lessons. A freak accident grants him the strongest Servant, even though Shirou has no interest in participating in the Holy Grail War. A second freak accident allowed her to retain her memories from the previous Grail War . . .but he never asks her what happened. Three girls are interested in him, and he doesn't make a move on ANY them . . .In short, Shirou Emiya is practically drowning in advantages and opportunities that people have literally killed for. Yet they mean nothing to him.(I liked Fate, but even I got a little frustrated with him.)
>>96687883Isis is Egyptian and is older than Inanna. Venus had very little to do with Aphrodite before the Romans conquered Greece and syncreticized her. Freya has no relation to Inanna, she descends from a PIE fertility goddess whereas Inanna is a North Semitic deity, there's no evidence of religious crossover between the PIE and early Mesopotamians, let alone the much later Norse.
>>96687767Tankista might have tried to do too much with Another Pretender's War. A basic Holy Grail War already has a lot going on, with seven Master-Servant pairs to build, and multiple variants of the same mythic characters to choose from. Throwing in alternate locations and eras only adds to the complexity. Then there are the odd cases, like when an Avenger shows up, or a second batch of Masters has to be recruited in a second team. Then there are the optional Big Bads. And the characters from the Tsukihime universe. And the Pseudo-Servants, who only turn up in the time travelling spinoff gacha game. . .I salute the effort, but if you're not familiar with Fate, I can easily see the cyoa being totally overwhelming.
>>96688095>2.4 kids...HOW?
>>96688198https://thephantomtollbooth.fandom.com/wiki/0.58_BoyIt's funny that this character could also fit into Type-Moon.
>>96682973>writing ruby til she sparksI just broke up with my long term girlfriend and feel awful about it. Will this help? Probably not, but I'm going for it anyways.I do wonder, can it make assumptions.If I just write "same upbringing as me", "has interests that I am not into but want to hear about" "has the perfect breast size for me" or must I be specific
>>96688205They made a song for kids into a servant. They would turn 0.58 boy into a shota with a deep voice that accompanies a super hot and lustful nun that plans evil things because she can't buy a vibrator

What if OCs are ready to be dropped and the authors like to watch us squirm?

how do you build hype for your cyoa
>>96688951You post a vague, but important part of your CYOA with little context, stimulating the imaginations of anons with the promise of more text in that vein.
I like Shirou
I like swords
I like Passionlip
>>96687890Ah, it's alright! Sorry I had to dip.>>96688177I'm inclined to agree, because I got into Fate actually quite recently. Couldn't make sense of the CYOA before I did, and trust me, I tried the Fate CYOA before I knew more about the Fate series other than Violet Sabergarden and Astofolo the femboy.
Anime protags are so cringe They’re all the same too
I've watched 4 Fate anime series and 4 movies and I still feel like I don't understand it at all, or even like I've been given an especially compelling reason to want to
I like boobs
>>96689117I played Fate Extra and there they explain you what the Holy Grail is (eye of a lost civilization that records our planet, and the "wish granting" its using its predicting capabilities to make it calculate what to do to get your wish) and why people fight.
boobies
>>96689140which has nothing to do with the rest of fate
>>96689152From what I read, they share the universe of stay night, Nameless is apparently the sword autist. Rin is another girl of the same family also called Rin. The servants there remember things when they are in FGO. And some servants of FGO come directly from Extra, like the beast Kiara, who became a beast by getting the memories of Kiara of Extra and making a plan, and all the Sakura five.
>>96689140Is it not the Einzberns' failed attempt to recreate the Third True Magic, materialization of the soul, and end death forever?
>>96689140The origin of the Holy Grail in FSN is the Einzbern Homunculus Justeaze sacrificing herself and fusing with a ton of other homunculi after designing the ritual with the help of Zouken Matou (who was in love with her) and the Tohsaka ancestor, further assisted by Zelritch, to realize their shared dream of saving the world by uplifting all of humanity by projecting the Third Magic onto all of them using the grail wish and it just all went to shit. This was later revealed to be copying some planetary defense ritual/system with its own grails and servants and shit.
EXTRA FAGS AND GRAND ORDER FAGS GET OUT
>>96689165That (see >>96689166) is its origin in the mainline series.>>96689163Extra is a spinoff that shares the multiverse but not the same timeline. Servants sometimes remember events from FSN because they're all from the Throne of Heroes, which exists outside of the universe in the Akashic Record.
>>96689168why are you crying?
>>96689181They’re non canon garbage fuck off

I like caster cu :)
>>96689184there is no reason to cry
>>96689192what
>>96689192is this fate reference? I am genuinely confused
>>96689192What I get is a daughter with daddy issues and repressed horniness.
I like the concept of FGO but many of the historical and mythological characters are cringe and could have been done better.
>>96689216Yes they should've all been girls.
>>96689216I will never forgive nasu for not making the simple and obvious solution of making jaune of arc the original Saber.
>>96689220But that’s why it’s so awful. Imagine if they did Gandalf? They’d turn him into a grey haired loli with an oversized hat like Ranni from Elden Ring.Awful. Just awful.
>>96689234Anon stop you’re giving me an erection
>>96689234>Good things are bad!
>>96689166You are more or less correct>Einzberns had an ancestor that could use the third magic but she died that's why they created the homunculus they are clones of that person trying to recreate her.>This doesn't work so they try to create the holy grail and manage to gic it form but can't power it up.>They bring in the Tohsaka into their plan to use the grail to not only recover the third magic but to use it to transfom all of humanity into gods.>The dude agrees he has land rich with magic and hidden far away from the mage association and the church he is also an extremely talented necromancer so he also provides the concept behind the servants.>They realize that having only two people in the deal would make them prone to back stab each other so the Tohsaka invites his friend Makiri and expert on familiars he bring the concept of command spells into the plan.>The original idea was to work together summon the servants and then force them all to commit suicide with commands to power the grail and go all transhumanism but they ended up betraying each other and everyone destroyed each other after that they came up with rules for the holly grail war and everything else is history
>>96689216>many of the historical and mythological characters are cringeThis kind of sums up my feelings towards the Fate franchise as a wholeI mean...Pokemon, but with King Arthur, and genderswapped for some reason...? It's all just so weird and absurd and I don't see the appeal of the basic concept at all, even before getting into the inscrutable-to-the-point-of-being-uninteresting mess of all the lore. When I think of ancient historical figures I'm mostly thinking of unwashed and (for the most part) less-educated people who likely have all kinds of weird old diseases, so that's clashing pretty hard with any kind of waifu angle they're going for
>>96689263Anon, the first and most iconic Servant is King Arthur, a person who probably didn't exist and if he did, wasn't the romanticized version we all know and love. A romanticism that goes back over a thousand years of people telling their own modified version lionizing and modifying the main to suit their morals and culture. The very fact that they're using KING ARTHUR should tell you that these are ROMANTICIZED and possibly mythological figures, not dirty smelly realistic shitty humans.
Archer is so cool. I want to be cool like him.
I wonder if Ultimate God will release this year...
>>96689202A bit of the intro of my CYOA>>96689203It isn't>>96689214Correct but I think this is the only moment you see her before being separated.
>>96689263And I’m only in it for the charm of the original characters at this point.
>>96689305>Correct but I think this is the only moment you see her before being separated.That's lame, I can't even get her back in the ending?
Fate has strong homoerotic energy
>>96689287Yes, but the point is that the ASSOCIATION with the dirty smelly ancient people is there. Even if intellectually I know that this anime girl's hygiene is probably fine, there's still a part of my brain associating her with a smelly ancient king. It's enough to seriously hamper the series' attempts at waifu-baiting for me
>>96689315Truth be told. I got a hard on watching Archer vs Lancer.
>>96689331You’re gay I’m afraid
>>96689309It is a possibility but you would have to find a way back without you she will get Marika'd in heaven rotting away while others fight for her throne.

>>96689305What cyoa are you making?
>>96689330are you also the guy who associates brown hair with shit
>>96689330>Yes, but the point is that the ASSOCIATION with the dirty smelly ancient people is thereNot even the people writing King Arthur fiction in the year 900 associated him with dirty smelly real people, this is just autism on your part.
>>96689344See you pretty much wrote it so that it feels mandatory to save her.
>>96689344That's not an optional quest anon, unless you're a sociopath. If you're a sociopath, then authoring a good cyoa will be a challenge as players are Not going to react how you expect to the things you write.
>>96684433It's just zoomers.
>>96689395Depends on your priorities you see if you want to help her yoou will have to snuff the dreams of many many others.>>96689486The goal of the CYOA if for you to be a saviorfag but you can't save them all.
>>96684433Large numbers of men on this website are repressed bisexuals. They're drawn to anonymity because it makes them feel safe, and they play-act homosexuality because they can convince themselves it's "just a joke".They will deny this when confronted, of course. They wouldn't be play-acting if they were willing to admit their feelings to themselves. If they ever do admit it to themselves, they'll look back on this denial-behavior and cringe.
>>96689192Intriguing...>>96689305>>96689344I like it, but I'm a big fan of moral dilemmas and amnesiac cliches, so mileage may vary.

>>96689545We actually ran out of gay repression a while agoIf I were horny for men I'd do it, and no one would be able to stop me
>>96683714In part that's a question like: who would want to have distant lands and continents that are very hard to visit?And it's also something that defines a particular fantasy people, and provides hooks. "These over there are people that speak their own language, and you'd need to find a translator to speak to them."
>>96689263At its heart, Fate/Stay is a battle royale for a magic wish. There are seven participants, and each summons a mythical construct known as a Servant to fight on their behalf. Some were real people, others never were, and more than a few are "what-ifs". Last pair standing gets the wish.At least that's the way it started.There has been so much cheating over the centuries to win the wish, and outright attempts to hack & hijack the ritual that grants it, that the Holy Grail War ritual is now completely out of control. It's the supernatural equivalent of a nuclear meltdown, spilling into alternate realities, and across time. That's what makes the lore so messy. (The fact that the copyright holders seem hellbent on milking the franchise to death doesn't help, either.)
>>96688198The average family in the developed countries has between two and three kids. Saying the protagonist wants 2.4 kids is a way to show how invested he is in being average.
>>96689263>mean...Pokemon, but with King Arthur, and genderswapped for some reason...? Digimon is probably a better analogy.
>>96689344>Writes beautiful daughter with daddy issues that wants anon's dick>Expect anons to not try to save herAt this point, anons would give away a thousand waifus to save her
