CYOA title for the pact challenge :>Oh no! I was minding my own business in my room doing “important work” when suddenly a beautiful woman transported me to another world! Now as her champion, I have to fight for my life against her evil and/or ugly suitors! At least I get cool powers thanks to pacts out of this; hopefully it will be enough!
Regen Crocs vs Laser-Eye Corps, who would win?
>>96716232Some questionable design choices by the author. IIRC, it's supposed to be something like generic level-appropriate buffs to the previous options.
>>96716277Suitably long enough for an isekai
>>967162781V1 Laser-eyes comes out on top since they could defeat the croc before it got close. If it's any sort of team battle though the famously sociable Regen Crocs would win: half of the crocs would just volunteer to be picked up and used as a human shield by the other half and they'd run at the laser eyes to close the distance.

>>96716467The web novel? I never read it because of the author's grimderp tendencies...
>>96716062god i FUCKING LOVE planeswalking cyoas.
Post some Vampire Cyoa In preparation for Sylen's upcoming OC.
>>96716592A totally vampire cyoa.https://imgchest.com/p/qb4zxaz37jm
>>96716577>The web novel? I never read it because of the author's grimderp tendencies...And you would be right, if you think Taylor from Worm got it bad, you should see what Blake (Pact's protag) goes through. I personally couldn't finish it because I got bored from the repetitive "it always gets worse" plot.
>>96716307That's what I'm going for I'll make it light hearted.>>96716577Way I'm confused here too the theme is pact as the web novel?I don't know anything about it.
>>96716603>Past:Inheritor of the Arcane, Dark Relic, Artifice, Spellseeking>Curse:Bloody TearsGreatly mitigated by Abjuration, Resistance, and Regeneration, so I have more than enough time to find the enemy.>Abilities:Magics: AllPowers: Resistance, RegenerationItems: Spell Scrolls, TabletI'm most interested in the Tablet as it holds valuable secrets of the aether, not to mention that it seems to focus on creation, my specialty. A journey to explore ancient ruins, visit libraries, and consult language experts to decipher it is inevitable.
>>96716650So much magic but you have no face... poor thing
There better be some good OC in the near future, or else...
>>96716707Mhm, that happened when I tried to contain Bloody Tears in one spot. I succeeded, but I will have no face until the curse is cured.

>>96716747I'm working on it.I'm even taking the time to build an OST.For example this is the song of a very important NPC expressing her feelings for her dad.https://youtu.be/2EjPTrNZ2Ts?si=1Vws_-TBE37V6i_O
>>96716637Nah it's just making pact with stuffDidn't even know there was a pact web novel
>>96716277Awesome. Mine is going to be Trashsword Compact, and the core premise is that you found a sword spirit in a dumpster that wants to empower you in exchange for killing certain targets.>>96716577No, I don't think so, unless I seriously misunderstood. The theme was pacts with supernatural entities.
>>96716277>>96716848Mine's called "Devil down the line"
>>96716842>>96716848Then why did he capitalize "Pact"?
>>96716277As long as the "woman" is a twink I'm in
>>96716848>Mine is going to be Trashsword Compact, and the core premise is that you found a sword spirit in a dumpster that wants to empower you in exchange for killing certain targets.That sounds interesting, looking forward to it. It also reminds me of the Saint Slayer wip.>>96716894What drives a woman to treat her body like a dirty public toilet?
>>96716909>As long as the "woman" is a man I'm inPorn brainrot moment.
>>96716232this >>96716286apparently the author thought to leave some levels empty since they didn't give any new ability apart from an overall powerboost to what you already hadhe said it would be fixed in the update which is... coming soon... trust the plan...
>>96716986>he said it would be fixed in the update which is... coming soon... trust the plan...Wasn't that like a year ago?
>>96716441I like this CYOA, but I've always thought it feels like a beta and could really do with being more specific and balanced in places. Like, I think most people would pick wizard by default, but does wizard start with all their spells or do they need to slowly learn them over time is something I always wondered because it seems to imply the former but the latter would make more sense. I've never seen the previous version >>96715758 but having done so makes me more confused, as that is not only better presented than this newer version, but it seems more balanced. It states explicitly that wizards need to slowly learn chosen spells; this new one is changed for 'new spells' only.So just gain all this magic and don't need to study at all? That seems to make the wizard option weirdly imbalanced, since 'you don't get these instantly, you have to learn slowly' seems to be the wizard drawback that makes other options worth considering.Like, if you gain 18 runes of power from wizard instantly, who would bother with the Ritual option that gives you less power and needs multiple items to make it better?Even the challenges: in the old version it seemed like Sorceror and Ritual were the only ones granting you instant power, and their drawbacks made up for that. This one is handing you worlds and quests to use your power on, but with this shit instantly available from the start you're a goddamn demigod and shouldn't be challenged at all.Also the All-Potion option for 1 point? Any potion you can think of for one point? Potion of youth? Healing? That's enough to replace entire schools, that could be a class choice by itself at the beginning, it's crazy.
>>96716894what a way to make a beatiful body into...
>Male lovers are all Northerners.>Her artificial afterlife is a Northerner.>The rogue mathemagician is a Northerner.Is Charlie bisexual?
>>96716998it's most likely a very big update
>>96717078If you live for long enough surely you'll be able to loosen the rules a little
>>96717078>OR discussion baiting.Sorry bro we don't do that here anymore.
>>96717078Only the first point is relevant for her sexuality.
>>96717115If you were picking empyreans would you be entirely unbiased in your selection?
>>96717078All characters are bisexual thus is the will of JNPL even your character will become bisexual after reincarnating
>>96717182Nice, bring the femboys to me
>>9671661524 points? Seems pretty generous, actually, though the having to spend at least a point in everything not to be affected detrimentally is a drag.Let's go first with eliminating weaknesses:>Sunlight Weakness 4.Grey skies are gonna clear up, put on a happy face...>Feeding Amount 3One nonlethal feeding every 20 days seems relatively doable...at least if I get other benefits which would make it easier for me.>Feeding Style 2Significantly reduces the obviousness of what happened; benefits above this level are pretty minimal and don't really seem worth the investment.That's 9 points used, 15 remaining; 9 categories remain (ouch) of which you can potentially skip siring strength without being crippled, or shapechanging if you're comfortable with the current state of your body. Let's call it 8 mandatory, leaving 7 "extra" points to play with, plus any from optional weaknesses.>Shapechanging 1Reasonably fit is fine, I don't feel any pressing desire to turn into wolves or bats.>Appearance & Charm 4Pretty privilege is real. At this point the difficulty of getting blood is quite trivialized, I could just ask people if they mind my nibbling their neck for a moment.>Minions 1Just to eliminate the uncomfortable aura. Minions actually seem pretty worthless unless you get up to level 4.>Toughness 3Not getting hurt in the first place seems preferable to recovering from it quickly; going all the way up to 4 is tempting, but practically speaking probably unnecessary.>Recovery 1As above. It'd be nice to get up to 3 for limb regeneration, just in case, but...>Strength 3Moderately superhuman, suitable for a CW show.>Speed 2Peak human speed is good enough most of the time.>Stakes 2Since it bypasses toughness, I feel I need to put a bit more than normal defenses here, I don't want a random blow holding a stick to pierce my chest.This puts me two above, so...Weaknesses:>Threshold>CrossBoth potentially addressed with Charm.
>>96717182Only until their sexuality is confirmed, which is why you can't pick and true love Thaumiel unless you're femaleKeter's confirmed bi tho
Does anyone have a high quality res Slayer Vampire cyoa? allsync and imagechest versions are cancerously bad to look at.
>All outsiders are bisexual until proven otherwiseSarmatbros???
>>96717368This is the best I've found from scouring the archive. Most pages are of high quality, but a number have low (but readable) quality.https://imgchest.com/p/qe4gmr3nj4j
>>96717418Thanks.
>>96717340Even Thaumiel can't escape the bisexual agenda as her requirement is mostly her mentorship limitation as the ability can only be used by females properly,.which still allows her to be bisexual
>>96717415What about him? Any character could theoretically be bi off-screen, but on-screen, his only noteworthy relationship was with a woman.One, on the other hand...
>>96717524For better or worse, Thaumiel is immune to men
would you do bad deeds for power?
>>96717565He had a more heterosexual aura then most of the other outsidersHe is the one you would least expect to be gayBob on the other hand feels asexual. I really cannot imagine him having any meaningful sex driveIf he fucked mithra it would be setting ending knowledge
>>96717617NoUnless they were things I wanted to do anyway
>>96716894It's the subject noun, why wouldn't he capitalize it?
>>96717621Jinn feels husbando-coded to me. Description being about an appealing personality rather than goals or abilities is a ship flag imo. Same reason we all think Stithia was Tuzik's waifu.
>>96717617depends on what kind of bad deeds, theft/scamming? yeslarge scale destruction? yesmurder/torture of shitty people? yesmurder/torture of innocents? nope
>>96717640Jinn canonically died of a broken heartHe was too pureActually now that I look at it he really does make sense as a husbandoVery handholdable
>>96717617Question is too vague. Most everyone would be slightly rude to a customer service worker one time in order to get everything they ever wanted. The question only becomes meaningful when you fill in the blanks with specific bad deeds and specific powers.
>>96717617What these guys >>96717627 >>96717657 said
CYOAs for this feel?
>>96717740mayhaps, would you be interested in hot sweaty sex with your own stand?
>>96717617too vague of a question, but on average yes
>>96717757
>>96717668Theoretically he could still be around. His letter was Tsy; maybe his disappearance was just him getting sealed in something.Maybe it was an artifact sword once wielded by his man.Maybe the same artifact sword currently being wielded by a drow pirate captain.
>>96717768
would you do good deeds for power?
>>96717757a stand is the reflection of your soul. Which means I would have a super powerful time controlling stand, yes, but that stand would be a very manly stand with a very big cock. Not exactly a waifu>>96717740I want to buy that digimon but too costly
>>96717770Anon.....The historic maps
>>96717777https://imgchest.com/p/agyvdgkpzy8Yes.
>>96717777YesUnless they were something I really don't want to do
>>96717770>>96717668>>96717640Jinn the Asura? Read the timeline maps, the last thing he did was, after finally coming around to liking humans, was destroy his own empire and ensure that Mithraic humans ended up in charge of its successor state because he was sick of Asuras abusing humans even after he specifically changed the laws and ordered them to stop. Last we hear of him is that he was alive, and retired to a monastery to meditate in peace for the rest of existence. This was before Charlotte conquered the Mithraic humans though, if he's still alive that means she left him alone or he escaped into hiding, and if he's dead that means she killed him. We don't know, thought Charlotte is the type to kill anyone who might be strong/wise/old enough to resist her.
>>96717782>but that stand would be a very manly stand with a very big cock.wrong, a stand could have any shape or form, one guy has a fucking gun as a stand so you could easily have a feminine stand to reflect your sexual desires or something.
>>96717617Depends on what and how it's framed. If it's reaping the souls of everyone in India as entropist, sure!
>>96717803I thought he died in 375?
>>96717790Like what be a faithful husband to your harem?
>>96717803>>96717826Nvm, I rereadNow I want to find jinn
>>96717777Duh.
>>96717810that guy identified as a gun. I identify as the manlies man
>>96717839Yea, my thought on him being sealed in Burelom was that it's an old weapon from One's side of the WoH&E, which came from the Ecumene with (I think?) Opoia.There's no real evidence for it, I just kinda like the idea that Saevel is carrying a sealed Asura and I kinda like the idea that it's One's old husband.
>>96717786do you guys think you could beat the archdemon with only level 2 combat powers (and no magic)?
>>96717740The fact there's no Digimon CYOA is unforgivable.
>>96717884Yes. Just Pearl and Prophesy are enough if you're clever and dedicated.
>>96717901Make it.
>>96717901make one yourself and stop complaining, you already know that everyone will prioritize taking the female digimons
Where the fuck is Italics and his OC?
>>96717837That is something I was already planning on doingNo one here is a manslut who fucks women that have not been officially conducted into his harem right?
>>96717786Angelanon, please add a "Biblepunk" setting.
>>96717810Imagine a tranny's stand being their idealized self that they can never physically become. Every time they summon it, it's a painful remainder of themselves.
>>96717901There's a reddit interactive.It's about as shit as every other SFW reddit interactive.
>>96717864This implies that he was a chainsaw, which does make sense given his "eccentric nature", but also feels weird with the bit where a child stumbles upon him
>>96717916i was referring more about the powers like vigour or durability, but i guess you still answered my question so thanks anyway>>96717967>interactivethose are not real cyoas
>>96717941>>96717944I don't have the time nor the skill to make a fucking pill picker let alone a whole CYOA. Also why the fuck does someone wishing for a nonexistent CYOA always causes a bunch of retards to screech "M-make it Yourself!" at them?
>>96717965Bro doesn't know about Jojolands.
>>96717972You don't necessarily get sealed in the same object each time. I'm thinking sealed in a necklace or smth -> unsealed -> sealed in chainsword by Ecumene -> picked up by Opoia -> traded to saevel for passageThough I admit that I kinda forgot about the child saga initially.
>>96718006Don't remind me of that man. Thinking about Araki taking the troon-pill causes anguish.
Exalted Conquest will be an interactive cyoa. Tok told me so
>>96717967That's a shame, Digikino is way cooler and has better worldbuilding than Pokeslop.
>>96718030This is true, I said thisIt's as true as my love of bimbos
>>96716441I have read Sorcery 10 times, and I still have no clue how it works to buy schools.
>>96717617Ultimately, yes. In fact, I have already done so.
>>96718004You should engage with your hobbies on more then a surface levelThey were encouraging you because you are a little bitch who does not believe in yourself, and as of such you need patient reassuranceAdding a s-s-stutter to someone elses speech is normalfag behavior. even if they were awkward or unsure they would still have a voice to be heard, and even if your cyoa is trash I will still play itAnon, you shouldn't lash out like that. It makes the world a more bitter and cynical place
>>96718004>why the fuck does someone whining always causes anons to shut him up?mhhhh i wonder
>>96718041I hate you Tok
>>96717988Oh. Yea if you /only/ have t2 funsaments and no relics or miracles it gets tough. Vitara can probably do it since it has other angels and heaven-alignwled kingdoms to mobilize, and I think the NSB has a real shot on Nocturna, assuming Director Parker doesn't waste too much time on distrust. Machina and Astarta feel impossible though, you can't solo the archdemon and there's no existing anti-Demonic force to join up with.
>>96718014It can't be Opoia since she was on Dennitsa's ship. It has to be the daughter of the Heterodoxy's chief priest. She crashed her airship and had to rely on a pirate for passage home, paying with a relic she obtained during her adventure in Tsoshu - and then years later a Tumen guy finds her wreckage and rebuilds it as Skyscratcher.
>>96717901There is a nsfw one.
>>96717786so, did the author of this just peace out and made no other cyoas?
>>96718064The only one whining here is you faggot, anon thinking its shame his favourite media doesn't have a cyoa is no more whining than making a normal comment on a topic. People are allowed to voiced there opinions here, this isn't Reddit (You should go back btw).
>>96718116Coombros...
>>96718121Make*
>>96718122Touch a nerve, did I?
>>96718054In every hobby there are creators and consumers, the latter will always outnumber the former because not everyone is cut out to make a satisfactory product. I know my limits and what I suck at and so I shan't waste my time. Also your passive-aggressive attitude is very woman-like.
>>96718113Oh you right. I think I still had the Opoia theory in my head from V1, when Dennitsa didn't exist yet
>>96718025He already did way back in Part 6, anon, hate to tell you. Jolyne meets one.
>>96718156>Self-defeating nonsense>Calls other anon a girlLoser.
>>96718147>no responseI graciously accept your concession.
Choose
>>96718156I don't think soThere are many hobbies, especially on this board, where creativity is commonplace and doing a few things yourself is considered standardIt wouldn't hurt to try, and you wouldn't need to publish everything you makeI am writing my never-ever literally inbetween posts and it has been fun (Mainly, because I can focus on the fun parts of the process)I don't think I am being passive agressive. This is a fight and I am opposing you, I just don't actually dislike you.You can be mad if you want. You don't need a justification. But I want you to act better (And I also don't need a justification)
>>96718199Anon your way of talking is very reminiscent of toxic female gaslighting tactics. You type like a sassy cunt who's baiting her boyfriend to punch her so she can use it as evidence of domestic abuse in court.
>>96716277>>96716848>>96716868How many of those will actually release THOUGH

>>96718255KEKAROOO
>>96718228I don't get the woman thingAll that really matters is being a good person, traits like that are irrelavent asthetic fluffWhen you say I am acting like a woman you are saying I have a trait which looks like another trait which is associated with something bad. Anything that requires that many links of logic is a longshotI am not dating you And I don't intend toYou seem to be trying to prove things about me as though there were some external arbitrator you need to justify your actions to. there isn't, if you don't have anything to say you should leaveOnce again if you have any complaints make them directly instead of using "like like almost similar" nonsense
>>96718171>>96718228I cannot fathom how someone could be so retarded as to never make a CYOA. Is it phoneposters? Turbo-newfags?You can do it, you're just choosing not to. There are plenty of resources available if you search for five minutes, and you can make a cyoa without even using any of them. Just open MS Paint. It's that easy.
>>96718254Stop masturbating to your fantasies about other anons being women who want to talk to you, loser.
>>96718048Yeah, it takes a moment. When you look at the spell schools you'll see they all have a number 1 - 6 bottom right, and there's four different colours as red, blue, green & pink. You roll two dice. One roll is for the colour, so if you roll 1 you're on the schools with the colour red. Your second roll is then deciding which of the six schools in the colour red you're getting.
>>96718268>I am not dating you And I don't intend toGood.
>>96718156>not even attempting because "he knows his limits">calling those that attempt to encourage him females, faggots and redditorsholy... the other 2 guys where right, this is actual peak loser mentality

>>96718395I'm not going to de-anonymize myself by attaching my content to my anonymous insults, loser. I choose to post anonymously because I don't want to be drawn into the drama.Suffice it to say that I've made a few one-pagers that usually get a few re-posts before being lost to time, and a couple fan DLCs to popular CYOAs. I've got a couple of more ambitious WIPs that I might finish someday if I choose to. I'm not an Author(tm), I'm just an anon who remembers when "/tg/ gets shit done" meant something.

>>96718491>I wish you didn't make cyoas.You like my shitposts that much ehh? Cause if I didn't make CYOAs I would shitpost a lot more
>>96718510League players aren't full humans, why bother?
>>96718510
>>96718526
>>96718487>entropistsHow many of them?>>96718472All that tall-talk just for a weak cope-out, disappointing.
>>96718383>>96718395WOW. A readlet, a newfag, a faggot, and a nigger. Kill yourself.
>>96718552I just called you a loser 5 times. Hardly an "all that talk", and choosing to stay anonymous on an anonymous image board is hardly cope. Loser.
>>96716868That gives me some devil at the crossroads vibes. Very cool. Six-shooters and bluegrass, hahaha. I can tell the three of us are cooking.>>96718229Mine will release no matter what. How else could I give anons a good challenge? I've got the intro section done, now all I need to do is handle the powers and targets for them. They're both going to be 90% of my focus for the CYOA.>>96718336I hope so to. It's exciting to have some pressure competing with you anons.
>>96718395>>96718552And what have you made?
>>96718576He's given upHis point is that he would be embarrassed if he ever tried to make anything, so everyone without "natural talent" (For cyoa's) should give up
>>96718576kino
>>96718576I made this, an actual cyoa
>>96718562>no-cyoafag having a meltylol>>96718564Again, very female-coded. I'm just going to assume you're a woman from now on.>>96718576>shitty shitpost "cyoa" that was posted once.Kek, you really thought this was a "gotcha" moment huh?.
>>96718589The sad thing is that it would be trivial to make a "pick 1 partner digimon, 3 companions, and 1 quest" 1-pager out of the franchise he wanted a CYOA for. It's a perfectly fine beginner project.
>>96718609Don't you think anon might have had fun making that cyoa?Don't you think anon might be proud of it?Is external validation really all you think about?
>>96718609We already know that you get off on imagining women insulting you, loser.
>>96718600Nice. What are demons other than El like?>>96718609I do have more, you know.
>>96718648
>>96718626He was bragging about cyoas being easy to make and how you don't need skill to make good OC while all he is a single dogshit shitpost to show for it. If that isn't the definition of shooting oneself in the foot, I don't know what is.
>>96718652
>>96717964>Angelanon, please add a "Biblepunk" setting.It's funny, I remember somebody asking me about that earlier, and at the time I had what I felt to be a fairly good reason why I didn't...which I cannot entirely now place or recall. Maybe it was just something about the lack of meaningful threats to face down, that it was asking about a more grounded, historical bronze-age era. Obviously adding the -punk suffix and mythic elements would greatly ameliorate that. Downside NOW is that five is a terrible number for graphic design, would really screw with the nice 2x2 grid of settings>>96718121I made one before that, Lost Causes. It's not really very good, though.Since then, I have not felt any particular inspiration. In a way I think I do feel that anything else I tried to make would indeed be inferior..>>96717884>do you guys think you could beat the archdemon with only level 2 combat powers (and no magic)?I wouldn't think so, but then I'm naturally a pessimist.
>>96718656You are truly lost
>>96718656Point to where anyone was bragging. Directly quote the other person.
If we get 3 cyoas on the 17thGolden age, I'm calling it
>>96718656>all he isIt's a one-pager. I posted it to show I had made anything and take up less space. If you want more I can give you more.>braggingBy stating objective fact? Cyoas are by far the easiest form of creative expression out there. I also never said anything about good OC, you don't even have OC at all. You're bitching about how hard it is before you've even tried. Of course you're pathetic.I don't actually wish any harm upon you. I want you to make something you can be happy with, even if it takes a while and even if there are parts you regret.
>>96718703And if we get 4?
>>96718703I'll start to trust people on the internet again.
>>96718705Continued:https://v3.imgchest.com/p/qb4znrrn54j>>96718703I'm looking forward to it.
>>96717884>>96718673>>do you guys think you could beat the archdemon with only level 2 combat powers (and no magic)?>I wouldn't think so, but then I'm naturally a pessimist.Wait, you know, I was glib there and I take that back. Much of the idea of the Archdemon is that no matter WHAT personal combat power you have, the odds are greatly stacked against you if you try to defeat him by yourself - that marshaling the other forces of the world in the face of this apocalyptic threat is the most likely course to victory. Leading that charge yourself as a powerful figure can of course be very beneficial, but it's not obligatory, and you probably WOULD have a better shot as a personally 'weak' leader and guide of the forces of mankind than as a T3 Combat Monster who tries to solo Satan.
All of this started because I made a post lamenting the non-existence of a Digimon cyoa. You faggots are truly a hateful bunch.
>>96718648>>96718705Now we're talking, unfortunately I can't confirm you're if you're actually the same guy I was talking to because your "cyoas" conveniently lack the author's name. Can you confirm that shitpost cyoas was also made by you? Final Spell is a great cyoa btw.
>>96718723And you embarrassed yourself publiclyBetter give up next time, that way no one will be able to make fun of you (Or perceive you at all)
Any recs for a horror or dark fantasy cyoa? Preferably a really atmospheric one?
>>96718705Per a previous discussion, I should probably adjust this to say that it's scavenging resources rather than trying to mine them anew, but regardless.
>>96718731Calm down anon, I'm not part of your shit-flinging fest. You really are awfully touchy today huh?
>>96718740where did the angels go
>>96718740Night Ride is always a good option.
>>96718740>horror Urban Phantom. Nxtub made a lot of great ones. Night Ride and its sequels.>dark fantasyThe Witcher. Panthon of Pleasure if you can stomach lewdness.
>>96718730Lmao of course the leech wants even more after you give him what he asked for.
>>96718753>Urban Phantom.this is a fucking meme
>>96718730Thank you. I really appreciate just how much of a positive response it's received.I have posted a message on SDA's Discord.>>96718743Hello! I really appreciate that you made an imagebuild. The Angel CYOA was also a major inspiration, and using reverse image search on it helped a lot to find images (Angelarium especially).
>>96718395its in the works, i need to learn photoshop, the name will likely change. happy now?
>>96718740The Forest by BTG, Most of nxtb's stuff, Dark Age of Woedheim, and Judas by Surinical.
>>96718776You don't like it?
>>96718707Platinium age.
>>96718797
>>96718761>leech! leech! loser! loser!I don't know why, but you remind me of an old cartoon villain's comic relief sidekick that parrots his Boss's words to impress him and sprouts childish insults at the main character then runs cowardly to hide behind his master. Keep it up its very amusing lol.
>>96718794It's one of cyoas that is big and has a lot of ideas but makes it hard to make a coherent adventure. Stuff like difficulty levels is weirdly implemented Also it telling you straight up "you fail" depending on your goal feels dickish
>>96718797i want the updated version
>>96718808
>>96718787>The Forest by BTGThat sounds familiar, but I can't picture it. What was it about?
>>96718819You really don't need to keep airing your fetishes like this sir.
>>96718707you won't even get 1
>>96718826are you ALWAYS here?
>>96718851You're really like your fetish projection cope huh? So goofy lol.
>>96718848NTA but it's better if you can see for yourself.
>>96718863Only when I am needed
>>96718848Its about being lost in a forest duh!
>>96718779>Hello! I really appreciate that you made an imagebuild. The Angel CYOA was also a major inspiration, and using reverse image search on it helped a lot to find images (Angelarium especially).Hah, hardly a chance that I would have left it without one! Though I didn't really use Angelarium much myself (not sure if -anything- I used ultimately came from there), as his drawings, while nice and moody, are generally a bit inhuman for my taste.Also: Experimenting with wan lately, and I have no real use for this, but Sol Alatheios in motion! If I can indeed attach it, let's see.
>>96718825>i want the updated version
>>96718897
>>96718901
>>96718867Gotcha - thanks
>>96718867Personally I'd survive this CYOA and all other similar CYOAs in its vein. I'm just that good.
>>96718906
>>96718912Unless you pick 'Retire' your survival is inevitable.
>>96718867If BTG kept making stuff in this vein he would've reached nxtb level of CYOA-godliness. Unfortunately he went the dark fetish path, which I might add he is very bad at. I've never been aroused by any of his nsfw cyoas.
>>96718897I need the updated version myself, as that's what my build was made on, after being only roughly sketched out for 1.0 - the Manipulator archetype is even more specifically on point than the Deceiver form broadly.
>>96718926It's funny how his SFW CYOAs are systematically his strongest ones.
>>96718740within a dark forest
>>96718912Wow anon you chose the ending were you survived! you're such a struggler chad!
>>96718926It would take something seriously wrong with you to be aroused by most of what he does
>>96718929And let's see him in motion, too. Used as a foundation this time one of the results that I liked but didn't ultimately use for the image build itself.
>>96718897what is the general consensus for the best race/hybrid combination to transform into if i want to remain humanoid?i was thinking fallen angel but they have a vulnerability for unholy powers, still it might be worth it.
>>96718926I always found nxtub's content boring.
>>96718969Fallen Angel/Demon cancel each other's weaknesses.
>>96718969I say fallen angel, though of course I'd say that anyway. Your biggest opponents are the more-or-less 'good' goddesses, I don't think a vulnerability to unholy powers is too likely to be relevant.Otherwise, Vampire could also be good if you also take Adaptability, which explicitly calls out its ability to address vampires' weakness to the sun. Although there are two oddities/interpretation issues with that. One is is that it doesn't explicitly say it can modify YOUR OWN race, only that you can summon racial variants suited to different environments. The other is...what exactly DOES that mean for vampires? Do day-pires need to have a different weakness, as a mere 'variant specialized for a different environment?' Or are they strictly superior?
>>96718992You're loss.
>>96718969why would I not choose god hunter
>>96719010Just like it's your loss that you can't enjoy A Horrible Curse desu.
>>96716027>Darkest Night 2nd EditionGo take that shower before we start, so that you don't get distracted. I'll read the rulebook in the meantime.
>>96719011Because you don't like illing gods
>>96719032>exposing his shit taste
>>96719032Horrible curse was fun but I don't really find myself coming back to it like I do Animus.
>>96719039Making god's ill would be a rather hazardous career path
>>96719078be the god of illness
>>96719083>Asshole god who goes around making everyone in the pantheon sick for no reasonkino
>>96716027
>>96719040I'm an anon, why would I be ashamed about any of my opinions? Nut up, buttercup.>>96719077Animus has worldbuilding and lore, that's probably why.
Anons are sluts for lore.
>>96719164yes
>>96718482Magi Case was supposed to be enough?
>>96719164I'm just a regular slut. Who happens to enjoy lore.
>>96717639it's not part of a proper name you retarded ESL. Warsaw Pact. pact with the devil. one has a proper name. One doesn't.
>>96718194>russian invasionwe need a Red Dawn/Twilight 2000 inspired CYOA.
>The horse represents betrayal>Greatest of yus includes an undead horse in the backround>A character with suspicious knowledge of the ecumene and 0^0's history seems to come back from the dead>Mentions a disguiseThis is the easiest way to cheese shadow of godJust take greatest of yus and kill the elf on sight, free empyrean status
>>96719100I want the lamp but he's being gay about it so I'll take the Pathfinder 1e core rulebook, I like it.
>>96719215That doesn't sound satisfying.
>>96718194Nega-Ohio solos.
>>96719228Isn't it fun to stab a traitor before their time?
>>96719215>implyingNilmatrix IS the horse.Also it says she’ll be someone unmarked by the outsider system, meaning it can’t be a companion.
>>96719235We skipped the whole chase, the reveal, the fight to the death with repressed feeling of kinship...just for something I'm getting anyway. What's the point?
>>96719237It says that in shadow of godI am implying you don't need to take Shadow of god in the first place, you can kill nilmatrix outside of it
>>96719011because you are not a better man.
>>96719243The fun of searching for a rat is that once you find it you fucking get themWhat would the fun be if I stalled?Extending the story for the sake of it is meaningless behavior that jnpl would have hated. People are supposed to die, soon
>>96719255>The fun of searching for a rat is that once you find it you fucking get themNuh huh.If I don't get a fight atop of a burning church of the Heterodoxy, with both of us trying to ignore the real friendship underneath the betrayal, then it's simply not interesting. Might as well pick an "I-win" button. Her death is meaningless.
>>96719245Atreus having spartan rage is a genetic proof he came from Kratos's balls
>>96719255>>96719235>speedrunningMeaningless behavior.
>>96719277That means... my swedish rage comes from... oh god... I feel the urge to find a... horse
>>96719245It is because I am a better man that I must choose the path of TGD
>>96719228It also doesn't work. Shadow of God specifies that it's someone you don't expect, and someone unmarked by the Outsider System.The real cheese (assuming you want the reward) is to take the Goblin encounter and delay entering a dungeon until you're prepped for the fight. Nilmatrix has to wait until your other encounters are resolved, so she's stuck waiting for her cutscene trigger for as long as you want (within reason, you do need to actually fight her eventually, don't be like Savmak).
>>96719284You get 80 years, then you fucking die and start overYou are supposed to be in a rush
>>96719295>managed to dodge all longevity optionslmao
>>96717822Youre not me
>>96719292I am certain if tankista were here he would confirm that killing nilmatrix without taking shadow of god counts and gives you empyreanHe's busy, so I won't bother him with that, but he definitely would>>96719301Don't you want to live?
>>96719295>OR>You are supposed to-That's not the message of the CYOA
>>96719255>JNPL: Find meaning in your existence in how it would unfold naturally, by following its flow.You: If I don't use every bit of meta-knowledge that I have to powerfag, the goddess of the ordinary will hate me.
I would kill 0^0 in 25 years tops. I’m not a goddamn jobber.
>>96719277>>96719288keep believing that.
>>96719312NTA but I'd like to return to my own world and follow the fate of my closed ones. That implies dying somewhere along the way.
>>96719314(I am shitposting)
>>96719334Got me good.
>you only get average int if you don’t take the intelligence gift>even taking all mental gifts won’t turn you into a geniusHaving a less intelligent body must feel horrible. Intelligence is mandatory for non-retards.
>>96719342It would seriously suck to get an intelligence debuff in my new body
>>96719337<3
As a 160iq+ gigabrained mental titan, even taking all mental gifts would leave me dreadfully impaired… I fear OR is simply unplayable for an intelligence of my magnitude
Just because you have high intelligence doesn't stop you from being a dumb ass.

>>96719372You need to take me as a companionIf you don't, you will surely lose and your isekai will be ruinedPreferabley you should also be a woman with thoroughbreeding, but that's less important
>>96719388Nothingburger. Even Uruk Necromancer would be in Az if not for the arbitrary world size limit.Just make a unique/memorable build.
>>96719372>you NEED to take Intelligence + Wisdom>you NEED to take Icons of Icons / Daemonhost>you NEED to take All-GlimpseYou don't need any of those though. OR isnt so hardcore that you need to minmax meta builds to win.
>jobber-glimpseTrap option. Starsight mogs.
>>96719396You're missing the point. Anon was complaining about overlaps, I'm saying who cares you can still make a character. Of course there's nothing, I'm talking about what's possible not trying to write anon's character for him.
>>96719433I’m saying that even in a picked over world like Az you can make a decent build
>>96719406I think Katya's failure really oversold 0^0 to some anons. Katya played on hardmode by choosing Ameneo and she still survived her Buki. If you're E Nomine, you actually have the support of your patron, which is a massive difference-maker. And that's /before/ you consider shit like [YMRD] companion or the toybox.OR really isn't a CYOA where you win or lose at character creation. It's about the story that comes afted you enter the world.
>>96719461It's about the puzzle in the meta-world.
>>96719461Wrong. 0.0001 seconds after your last encounter 0^0 will teleport behind you and kill you instantly with her ki blast.
>>96719466Are anons even aware of the meta-world though? The umineko aspects end up overlooked in both tides because most anons haven't played umineko and thus don't discuss them. It's probably for the best though, solipsistically looking at the toybox as nothing but pieces and gameboards is not a very fun way to play a cyoa.
>>96719489Some of them do, as the term was thrown a few times. But as you said yourself, seeing the whole thing as an elaborate 5D chess match isn't very interesting for some.
>>96719489How you approach the CYOA in the real world is the meta-world.
>>96719489We're already doing that by playing.
>>96719489The gods are named after Sartre, anon. Taking the existential leap of faith is not an unwisd decision
Outsider solipsism makes a million times more sense than dragon solipsism. As an argument in the meta world, it should be proportionally stronger.Also, in the meta meta world, it’s literally true. The characters in the CYOA are words on a screen. Just fiction created for (you) to enjoy.
>>96719523I'm here for the waifus. Don't bother me with your philosophy.
>>96719277God, you’ve forcibly reminded me of all the idiots insisting Kratos was a cuck prior to GoW and absolutely would not be convinced otherwise. This site really is the stupidest place on the internet.
>>96719523The eleventh outsider didn't exist though. *I* do. It's not going to be useful to them because they're just as imaginary as everyone else in the story. They're not Me, they're somebody that was made to agree with Me in some respects. I could even play with Outer Reincarnation's world as any of the predefined characters if I wanted to.
>>96719523Outsiders are equally fictive from the perspective of us, the readers of the CYOA. They're just characters we made for our entertainment, except for the ones that Tank made. None of this is relevant inside the fiction.Inside the fiction, Outsiders are just a soul, a body, and a spirit between the two, same as everyone else. We're not even special for havingn glimpsed the meta-world -- everyone does that in their dreams. The only things that makes us different from the world's natives are our memories of another world, and the opportunity to write our own fate that was granted to us by the elder gods. Neither erase the reality of other people, or even make us more real in comparison.
>still talking about ORI loved the update but maybe it's time to let go for now?
>>96719568>>96719597Even in the world of OR, every single person is canonically a character created by the Elder Gods. Whether hand crafted, made in bulk, or simply developed by chance, the people are characters in a story. The only difference between a person and a SRTR sockpuppet is the impartial observer that is a soul.The exceptions are, of course, outsiders. The Elder Gods didn’t make them. This fact is not trivial. As a consequence of being what they are, outsiders have some measure of control over the setting. To be a guest author is an inherently higher position than just a character.With that in mind, it’s not wrong to call outsiders the only real people. The rest are just NPCs created to make the story more interesting.>>96719677What the fuck else are you gonna talk about? Another thread of Danmachi/Mushoku Tensei sperging?
>>96719677But what about the meta meta meta meta narrative?!?!?
>>96719715Also, yes, obviously the 11th is a character created by (you). It’s just that (you) as the reader are the one with ultimate control over the setting and both your character and tankista’s. Your character IS inherently more important because it’s your headcannon and you can make up whatever retarded bullshit you want to make up.
maybe you should post good cyoajust a suggestion is all
Reminder that this has been solved for a while
>>96719769How about you solve your life next
>>96719715The Outsider System, the very tool of your guest-authorship, was made by the Elder Gods. The choices you are presented were curated by the Elder Gods. Fate is in full effect while you're making those choices, too -- Vedi proves this. The guest-authorship that you're elevating as justification for solipsism is as much a part of the Outer Gods' story as every other choice made by every other ensouled being in the world. "The whole story is already written, you're just in the middle of it."As far as earth-souls being more real than ORworld-souls by virtue of being from, that's simply not true. Tank isn't getting into the metaphysics of our world, but every indication in the text is that the souls on Earth made by God or some pantheon or random chance or the interactions of matter that created life are the same kind of thing as the souls made on ORworld by the ORworld Elder Gods. OR souls could just as easily be moved to Earth by application of Xi as the other way around, and Dei can resurrect Aat as a remembrance with a different soul same as anyone else.The Elder Gods run their world on narrative logic, and Earth does not, but in both cases the ensouled being is bound by the rules of the world they inhabit. Your soul simply happens to be from a world with different rules. This does not in any way imply greater reality or diminish the reality of the souls made by the Elder Gods in ORworld. You're imagining a hierarchy between Earth and ORworld that does not exist in the text.
>>96719844>VediSo does it offer you up as a free and mandatory mentor, or are you forcing the 12th to spend destiny points on you?What are they even going to learn from most Vedi builds?
Did that faggot ever update Luminary waifu item cyoa
True Outsider Solipsism doesn't necessarily have to be true to work, as proven by True Dragon Solipsism. You're just going to be vulnerable to getting Vtorusha'd. >>96719965No, he's working on another wip instead
>>96719950It works by fate, so it's the same as everything else which is fated to happen. Whatever needs to occur to make the destined event occur will occur. Maybe the Outsider System will happen to select an outsider from cold storage who would to want to pick you. Maybe 12 will misread your description, and you'll seem cooler than you actually are. Maybe 12 will hate you so much after reading your description that they pick you specifically to give you Kako. Maybe you will just be free, or cheap enough that you feel like a steal. Fate doesn't really tell you how it will happen, only that it will happen.As far as what you teach, it's probably an improved or changed version of what one of your mentors taught (you). One is trying to pass on Mithra's philosophy to (you) if you're his kid. 0^0 is giving you an improved version of what Shaytan taught her. Keter is giving you application of Oilea's teachings, using the interpretation of death slots that she learned from her mentor to dodge them.
>>96720033If you put it that way I suppose mentors end up being the most important part of your build since their teachings are ultimately what you pass down to future generations.
>>96720070I mean yeah? All the Outsider's biggest feats were born from improving on or combining whatever they learnt from their mentors. Everything else is still important, but what you get from your mentors tends to define your build more.
>>96720082Well, aside from Sarmat(his biggest feats were done in character creation), and Savmak(he's a complete gift merchant)
>>96719844>but the elder gods chose to choose youThe Elder Gods choosing to let (you) help them write their story is not the same as the Elder Gods writing (you). It’s a fundamentally more powerful position. Just because you don’t have free reign over a collaborative project (you do, really, you just choose to play with blessing of jnpl) doesn’t put you on the same level as characters that can’t write anything. Even the Elder Gods have agreed not to create contradictions.Fate is the hand of the author. It has nothing to do with your choices, except as the instrument through which they play out. It obviously doesn’t affect you when making your choices. You wouldn’t be able to make choices otherwise.If this weren’t true, the body of an outsider would hold no power. Not just the one given to them by the outsider system, but every body they inhabit. Do you think One’s body was randomly able to create a replacement for the god script? Outsiders are closer to Elder Gods than they are to natives.
>>96719965>faggot:'(
>>96720070Only if you’re a jobber that can’t come up with your own unique teaching. If you can’t manage that, then you might as well train the REAL main character in your Reks jobber arts.
>>96720138faggot (affectionately)
>>96716010Would you play it even if it was interactive?The CYOA rattling around in my brain right now involves a lot of features that basically require it to be interactive. Not sure how people feel about interactives here, though. I promise it would be cool

>>96720237Personally? I have no problem with interactives if they're interesting. I have yet to see a SFW interactive that's good, but I think that's probably more a complete lack of authors putting in any effort in that space than it is a fundamental problem with the medium.So yea, I'd give it a shot.
I'm amazed at how few images of blood dripping swords there are.
>>96720318trashsword compact?
>>96720318Something like this?
>>96720338Yep. I decided to expand the intro page with a little section of the type of pact you're sealing with the trashsword, but images are tricky. I might have to go for symbolic images to keep up the pace.
>>96720356Something like that, yeah, but I'm trying to find a pic of a sword on its own to fit the others. The pact type where you assert your dominance over the sword has a hammer beating a molten blade into shape, though, so hands could work.
>>96720370Any restrictions on dimensions? I like image hunting and have nothing better to do
>>96720360Damn you're already at the image searching part?I'm still writing the script
>trashswordwho wants a sword in this economy. we need GUNS not sticks
>>96720436Guns are gay.
>>96720379None whatsoever. I've been resizing them to fit 400x400 pixels, but not before editing them to keep the quality from dropping too much. I would seriously appreciate any help with this, that, and I'm trying to find a pic of one of those swords giving off steam for the eternal pact type.>>96720391I haven't been planning out much longer than one section ahead of time. I do have an outline, though. There'll be a few abilities and powers that have varying costs and an extremely small point total, but every enemy you kill gets a few more points. I've got a vague idea that you're hunting a demon worshipping cult to stop them from causing the apocalypse, largely because I've saved a good chunk of grotesque demon images I've been meaning to use for something like this. Image searching and then editing for me is definitely the hardest part of the process, the actual writing is fast. That doesn't mean it's good though, kek. I'll have to go over it with a comb later.>>96720436The trashsword is free and has powers, including a cheap choice to make it not look like trash that it advises you against. The price of ammo is insane these days.
>>96720461this'll need cropping but it's large enough to crop, and he's holding the sword out from his body so it'll just be a disembodied arm once you crop
>>96720526has a nice splatter. Some of the blood looks dry tho, if that's a no-go
>>96720539
>>96720436Guns literally started off as sticks that can shoot miniature arrow tips if you want to be truthful.
>>96720436*Parries Your Magic**Parries Your Bullets*SWORDGODS.
Bags of Holding and Inventories ruin settings. Handling logistics is an essential part of the daydream.
>>96720976I disagree.
>>96720976Having to handle logistics kills daydreams for some.

>>96716441Okay, this one is nifty.>Sorcery (30)Let's roll it.>3,4 - 2,5 - 1,4 - 2,5 - 2,6 - 6,4 - 6,1 - 1,4 - 6,4 - 1,5 - 4,5 - 4,6 - 2,1 - 3,3With a total of 5 re-rolls (hot dang!), I am now the master of Shapeshifting, Fleshcrafting, Necromancy, Chronomancy, Creation, Healing, Nature, and Arcane Items. Plus I can Warp and am Zoolingual.And with my 1 remaining point, I'm getting an Astral Bestiary.So, I am effectively kitted out to be an absolute monstrous bastard, which kind of sucks, since I'm not into that whole scene. I don't have any real offensive magic, but I can make a lot of shit.I think I'll go for "A God Among Men" and completely break the setting.Combing Creation with Necromancy and Fleshcrafting would give me the means to make an army of Death Knights with AK-47s riding motorcycles, supported by flying monsters of cataclysmic sizes.Nature gives me a natural fortress where I can make a literal fortress where I can expand from and conquer the world in the name a peace through superior firepower.The other 'god' is going to be a pain, but Chronomancy magic will allow me to try and try again until I can finish him off. Eventually one of the times I transform into a dragon with as many RPG-7s as I have scales will be enough to kill the bastard.Then I heal the land, heal the people, assimilate the monsters that I don't see fit to eradicate, and continually heal and/or shapeshift myself young and healthy for forever, living as a philosopher-sorcerer emperor. And then I'll make sure my forces look classy while they keep the peace with their pieces.

>>96721179>posting in the middle of night for burgersbold strategy
>>96721179I would suggest that your pages are too wide; you want them to fit cleanly on people's screens without having to be zoomed out, which normally means something in the range of 1600-1900.
>>96721235thank you for the notice, if i do a 2.0 i will try to size them more appropriately
>>96721179>not a single notable contract for information manipulationINTbros...
>>96721179Haven't made a build yet but I like it enough, though I don't approve of the stats being so arbitrary aside from being a failure check. I feel like you should implement them into a few more basic mechanics, like requirements to unlock missions or special modifiers (tech, units, etc.) if you pump them high enough. Otherwise, they're mostly just there as flavor numbers.
>>96721464I wanted to add more metrics, but I also wanted to see builds if any get posted so I can see 1. what kind of builds people end up going for so I can see how people spread out their 'points' and specialize their company. I haven't done much testing on my own beyond just finishing the CYOA so i'm not sure what strength a company that specializes in a single stat would look like, or if most people would try and spread out in a few areas.

How good even are we?Why would a team of 4 need to be competent in fleet warfare to survive?The setting feels less general then it's trying to be but you can just chose around options that don't fitThe options for group presentation particularly imply a very specific military equilibriumThere isn't really much wrong with that, but things like psychics are pretty setting dependantYou probably should have posted all of the pagesOverall It was pretty average but I liked itIt think it was a bit too general to be much more then good

>>96721179Its a good attempt for your first long cyoa. The aesthetic is uninspiring and the stats are not defined and only useful for comparison with other builds but overall I had a lot of fun with the cyoa.>BuildThe Shelley CompanyIts basically a mercenary company/harem of clone waifus.>StatsSkirmish 4 - Mulches regular soldiers but would lose to elite mercenaries.Warfare 9 - Bread and Butter.Dogfighting 2 - AI piloted fighters, basically fodder.Fleet 9 - Bread and Butter.Intelligence 5 - Reasonable amount due to kuudere personality template.Espionage 0 - Shelleys have the same face making espionage questionable.Internal 3 - Functional but strained due to Wasteful Warfare.Support 8 - No Shelley gets left behind.Morale 4 - A close knit family of sisters, though the casualties of the mercenary life put a damper on morale.Trust 3 - Trusted due to Total Loyalty to clients, though infamy from Scorched Earth warfare limits Trust.>SettingUbiquitous Sci-Fi>Galaxy PopulationshipHealthy Competition>Company OriginsUnnecessary ClonesThe Hado Empire already had a royal family consisting of clones of its founder, so it was no surprise it turned to cloning legions of soldiers. The Shelley series of clone soldiers were cheap, reasonably skilled and loyal. Alas, the war was over by the time Batch 40 was ready to be deployed. The shoddy indoctrination meant Batch 40 promptly left the Hado military to start a mercenary company in the hopes of founding a nation of Shelleys so they can one day restart the war the Hado Empire lost and win it.(1/3)
>>96722090>Company SizeLegion5000+ Shelleys, with more coming soon the moment the Shelley Company sets up cloning labs on Planet Shelley. There are a few non-clones, mostly in support roles.The Batch 40 Shelleys were the last clones to be developed for the Clone War. Their training and combat capability were refined thanks to data from previous batches though their indoctrination was rushed. Total loyalty to the Hado Emperor took time, especially considering the cutthroat nature of interdynastic politics, so they simply programmed a commitment to winning the war and following orders. This also resulted in Batch 40 Shelleys having minor personality variations - all Shelleys are cool, taciturn soldiers but most would have extra personality traits that do not contradict the main template personality.>Leader ArchetypeThe ShieldShelley 40-1 was the first Shelly of Batch 40 to be born. The first Shelleys of a batch were born earlier than the rest so they could receive indepth officer training so they could lead the Shelleys as an assistant to the Batch's commanding officer. 40-1 is a reliable older sister to the Shelleys and wants nothing more than to protect them. She often feels tired from her responsibilities and wistful about living a civilian life but is quick to push these irresponsible thoughts away.>PresentationStrict RegulationProfessionalAny TakersBrigadeNo BiodiversityLinked ConfederacyStrict Code of EthicsOpen ContractingScorched EarthTotal Loyalty>The CompoundForge Nexus - Planet Shelley.

>>96722096>Training RegimeTandem Barrage - What makes the Shelley Company notorious with its Scorched Earth warfare. Shelleys always fight with orbital fire support, casualties be damned. Better 100 dead civillians than a dead sister.Analysis Operations - Cool, logical warfare.

The fleet put up a valiant defense until reinforcements arrived and the cargo was delivered safely.Bubble Pop - The fleet made quick work of the pirate ships and proceded to provide firing support by firing on the bubble. The fighting was brutal and a lot of VIPs didnt make it but just enough did for the mission to be a success.(3/3)
>>96720976I agree, but only if the cyoa gives me survival skills to live off the land.
