>>96882467Apparently you can use Unlikey Alteration to swap out Salacious even with Potent of the Blood, so I did that. Plan remains the same; stay out of dumb vamp politics as much as possible and peacefully accumulate personal power using my many sources of knowledge, Animalism to absorb powers and Mytherceria to steal the knowledge of mages.

Well, we learned the multiplayer mutts are either stupid dumb pinoy scum or indians which explains why they jerk each other off with shonen-slop over and over again and do vapid "writefaggotry" that's just gay fanfiction. They're the reason the general went to shit after the Spirit Conscript CYOA got released.
>>96882291A few. Most of the rest are in the rentry already.

>>96882531what the actual fuck is this guy even talking about
>>96882559Outer reincarnation by tankista, thank me later newfag.
>>96882566The timezones when the shit MCYOA's that nobody actually wants get talked about is coincidentally at the same time when it's morning in Australia, the Phillipines, SEA and India. It's not a coincidence.
>>96882531Don't ever post Marc Anthony again.
>>96882507Yes. If you can't even detect the enemy, you're fucked.
>>96882482>Apparently you can use Unlikely Alteration to swap out Salacious even with Potent of the BloodIgnoring intent (because that very well may have been intended), I don't think that can legally be done. It's fully removed by swapping it, which means that it's reduced. There's no loophole in the wording here like with Talentless Morsel removing [The Sun].The word "reduce" isn't used as "Reduced", which would indicate that it's only referring to that which is specifically phrased with the word "reduce". It's used in the common meaning of the word, which would necessarily include all removal.
>>96882561Goth Tomboy.
>>96882585Right, that. Well I never got around to finishing that so I'll take your word for it, ty. >>96882599Sylen directly said you can do that, I wouldn't have believed it myself otherwise.
>>96882625If words could be used as rope, I'd strangle sylen with his poorly worded text.
>>96882597More than that, you straight up get PtV past a certain point. Not to mention its utility in acquiring magical knowledge.
>>96882625>Sylen directly stated you can do thatReally? That's a surprise. I can't find it in the archives. Is it from a Q&A on reddit?
>>96882597Reverse the layer order and apply the onion to the enemy to know how fucked you are.

>>96882654Nevermind, found it. Now I need to update my build again...
>>96882664Oh wow, nice image. got more?
>>96882667Hello ranjit.
>>96882599In what world are reduce and remove the same thing?
>>96882741And in any case unlikely alterations neither "removes" or "reduces" curses. It swaps them.
>>96882741>>96882756My point was that the effect you are causing (swapping them) removes "The Sun 3" from being one of your curses; you no longer have it. That change from 3 -> 0 is a reduction. If you kill someone, for example, you have reduced his remaining lifespan. Either way, WoG says it can be done, so none of this matters.
>>96882706There's a lot of variations of the same thing. Here's the source of it all: https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/ADA422333.pdf. See figure 6.Most survivability onion images don't have the two outer layers. I presume that is because those layers aren't quickly understandable without elaboration, especially the first one.

OC by CreepyCrawler & Hyenanon, not by me.https://imgchest.com/p/ljyqa6v6k72
Oi everyone, I'm an anon who some time ago said he was making a chainsaw man CYOA. I just wanted to give a tiny update since I'm liking the progress I'm making. I got the jobs down so far, still need the events and such... taking inspo from a life chronicle CYOA. In any case, would it be acceptable for the first imageset to be pure text with some color or even a pdf? I'd rather get it out there and make it look nice later than vice versa
>>96882965>HyenanonDelet this
>>96882965I wasn't huge into the powers, but the companions really did tug my heartstrings. Bit odd they're all sweet, nice people, but I get it. However, the worlds section completely killed all my interest. Couldn't come up with anything fucking original?
>>96882981>n any case, would it be acceptable for the first imageset to be pure textnoEven a shitty ultra-low-effort illustration is better than that.> or even a pdf?pdf uploads are banned now.
>>96882994Damned, really? How shitty ultra low effort are we talking? Is color background and a couple of images fine enough?
>>96882965What's this about?
>>96882965I miss hyenanon.I miss turning him into a girl and breeding him.
>>96882981>would it be acceptable for the first imageset to be pure text with some color or even a pdf?i mean you can try, i do think it will be ignored.at the least i ignore that kind of wip.>>96882994>pdf uploads are banned now.still angry at this bullshit, is it really that hard to fix the website so that the hacking fuckup does not happen again?
>>96882981You do what you want but I probably won't play it if it's just text with no pictures or a pdfAlso, are the companions custom made or manga characters?
>>96883006This was posted 2 threads ago. Nonuniform sizes of images, all the images and textboxes hover sloppily without rhyme or reason, and yet I find myself thinking it still looks quite fine. Very easy on the eyes, very readable.White bg is perfectly fine; I think it's better than the baroque greeble you see in Surinical's cyoas for example that actively hampers reading.
>>96882965Whoops, forgot to post this here.>>96883009Y'know I kinda miss you too, anon.>>96882983I am not writing the silmarillion for you, you will eat your slop and enjoy it, piggy.
>>96882981Some people will hate your cyoa regardless of the amount of images if it's too wordy, but there are some mostly text cyoas. Pdfs are not postable for the forseeable future tho, so you will have to think of something else. Some people made cyoas in google docs.
>>96883013No companions, you're alone with your devil(s)>>96883016Huh, thought it'd be harder. Thanks a bunch, mate!
>>96883025>No companions

>>96883027Sorry mate, if you want I can add an event where you bone but you're just a lone terrorist against the world
https://youtu.be/jDAHNdEB1-0Cyoa for this feel?
>>96883029i really like the image, also holy shit how the fuck are you guys so quick at making builds?!>>96883032
>>96883025>No companionsdon't take this the wrong way but your cyoa is dead on arrival
>>96882965I'm not reading a hyenanon cyoa unless someone tells me the contents first.
I remember back when cyoas didn't need companionsDark times
>>96882463Fun fact: I'm pretty sure that in canon WoD there are simply no 4th generation Kiasyd. Marconius is 5th.
>>96882965It's incredible how quickly my interest is lost when it gets to the isekaislop section. Companions are nice though.
>>96883037>>96882011This would be a good CYOA to come real for everyone.The Earth would balloon in size by billions of square miles.You'd never have to live near browns ever again.
>>96882965Hyenanon, tell me honestly. Was it you or CreepyCrawler's idea to use franchise worlds?
>>96883045rare are the cases where good cyoas do not have companions
>>96883062>You'd never have to live near browns ever againdon't project, i already live in a place with no browns.

>>96882531>>96882734>>96883062wtf is this general obsession with browns and Indians?
>>96883057>confirmed Diabelrie
>>96882965>Naruto>RWBY>Warhammer Fantasy>Dishonored>Zenless Zone ZeroI'm tired of franchiseslop creeping into unrelated, otherwise perfectly fine escapist CYOAs. Is that hard to write fluff for another setting? I do it for my OCs, I don't understand why so many redditors do this. The rest of the CYOA seems really solid though.
>>96883102Speaking of this, where can I get the full length of the comic where yakub creates white people that's often posted as meme images?
>>96883041You really think so? I'll think about it then... idk how I could fit it in, besides a basic idea
>>96883115Sad panda.
>>96883102I too hate the Ecu's gay and retarded older brother.
>>96883006>and a couple of imagesDo try to get an image for every option.
>>96883151Naturally, I just doubt I'd have those beautiful image backgrounds and such
>>96882965i think its a wise strategy to post your oc on weekends
Gimme a cool power cyoasSomething like symbiote or mask maker

>>96883185
>>96883179thanks
>>96882965>Surgeries: Engine of Diligence, Heart of Humility, Kidney of KindnessI think these three go extremely well together. Heart of Humility is pretty much no downside at all, as the quirk isn't necessarily a downside if you game it hard enough. Kidney of Kindness will also temper Engine's ambition from becoming too cruel, and the Kidney's drawback is also pretty manageable.>Sinners: Harrison Higuruma, Lada & Grusha, Evelyn 008Honestly these picks are because I felt bad for them. Was really torn between Evelyn or Delilah but Eve won out in practicality.>Destination: Jujutsu KaisenI gotta agree with the others my enthusiasm and engagement with the CYOA plummeted so fast after going to the world section that I took whiplash. I had already chosen all of my options like 30 minutes ago but got absolutely blindsighted by these and had to readjust. I guess JJK is pretty manageable as it has a flexible power system and most of my party will thrive in a place like this that's close enough to the normal world with just a heavy dash of curses going on. Plus I can say "If I had a nickel for every lawyer named Higuruma who was a prodigy for techniques, I'd have two nickels.">Reward: Surprise MeHonestly don't really care of any of em. Immortality is cool but the eternal march of time as everyone I know dies kind of sucks. Unholy Ascension is also another contender as ultimate power is cool, but it really hammers in how mortal you are to the point that I feel like my life would be more at risk even barring the subtle leaning towards corruption that this type of power invites. Either of these would be cool though as Humility would be able to share em. I think might lean towards Immortality so that when I'm done with life, I'll find someone and hand them the gift. Even if it doesn't carry over and expires on my death, it's still good for making sure I can be able to die when I'm ready. At the very least, I want to live long enough to witness the Sukuna vs Gojo fight.

>>9688340410 year olds dont know what marriage is anon...
>>96882965I'm fine with the franchise worlds, to be honest. Existing settings work fine, it's not a problem.Wish there was a drawback section to pull more people out of hell though, don't like leaving them there.

These aren't too bad, in comparison, as passive benefits. Diligence Engine might have been nice, though.>Sinners:Daphne AtwoodSnapperEvelyn 008All three are tailored for the destination. Evelyn should be used to leading a squad, and that's just what we need, while the rest help in their own ways.>Destination: DishonoredA free-for-all, for my side at least. I'll try to make me and my own interesting enough to get a visit from the Outsider, and override our Patron. I don't particularly mind destroying demons, and self-defence isn't a sin against angels.>Reward: True ImmortalityNot needed if we abandon the mission, but I'd prefer the safer fallback option.
>>96882485>>People Siding with the Free Agents>??? Womens I guess?I'm fond of the Free Agents. I like the weirder/more alien powers that that the Forces of Darkness offer, but don't necessarily want to side with a bunch of sinister interdimensional invaders. The Free Agents also have a nice mix of exotic powers, plus they offer (you) the chance to pick either side.
>>96883276Glad to see you're still around, Hyenanon
>>96883276Your graphic design is bad!
>>96874087>this is unrelated but reading thins make me thing about that cyoa aliens abduct you by mistake and make you choose a waifu. That sounds like Accidental Alien Abduction, one of the /trash scifi cyoas>on of the waifus was an eldrich goddess what created an universe just for you where you could be a god.That sounds like the cyoa often referred to as "Love", or maybe one of the fan DLCs.

>>96883108>I'm tired of franchiseslop creeping into unrelatedsame
>>96883954Nah that would be Indians, mutts would slave for the Dark One, pretending to be righteous and on the good's side but "secretly" collaborating with the forces of darkness.
>>96883962My council would beat (and rape if they're female) Tok's council easily.

>>96884050Congrats you just created 8+ billion Sons. And the Chinese and Indians ones outnumber the others by a wide margin. Enjoy the hell you've created.
>>96884077>And the Chinese and Indians ones outnumber the others by a wide margin.That's the plan.
>>96884077Funniest stuff that the entropist can't even harvest other entropist souls due to ascended spirit and as animals offer no soul value you would need to harvest hounds or some other magical creatures for extra souls or just live on your daily 5 soul trickle, there isn't really any incentive for humans to kill each other so it wouldn't be some day one murder fest
>>96883972Are you sure it's safe to stick your dick in Tok might drain your soul trough your dick like some succubus
>>96884098>there isn't really any incentive for humans to kill each otherIs this a joke? there's ALWAYS an incentive for humans to kill each other especially if everyone became nigh unkillable demigods.

>>96884147>spent countless nightsNah he just made a single prototype, tested it on a live specimen, then got his AI helper to create replicas as needed.
>>96884115Most people aren't psychopathic enough to just start murdering one another and any murderers like that would just be killed by everyone else ganging up on them. Like If you give a person a gun they don't just start shooting people.
>>96882965>A guy in hell believing that he's there because of doing his job as a lawyer (or other commonly despised job) but it was really because of a dark bargain he never knew about.This is a really cool idea wasted by franchise slop. I'd use it if I didn't refuse to write afterlives like that.
>>96884050I have a good shot at making it though
>>96882965I really dislike the premise, so I won't play it, but Envy + Temperance + Naruto is the strongest combo.
>>96882393>DataAn interesting option. Not many authors or even settings mention the value of data in these scenarios
>>96882965Can you sacrifice the temporary skills from Envy with Pride ?Do Envy come with an understanding of how you are now better, I want to know if you can write a guide to help train to that level once the skill boost fade.
>>96884215>Ah, I see. In some sense, yes. You will remember everything you did, intellectually. But you do lose the ability to do it. So you would lose muscle memory, but you would also have a much better understanding of what using the skill actually entails, and so you would probably have a much easier time learning the skill than a total newbie.
>>96882981>In any case, would it be acceptable for the first imageset to be pure text with some color or even a pdf?It is fine, I recently make a build for universal horror who don't have a pic on the first page, but having just one would help attract enough attention to give the cyoa a look.
>>96882965Surgeries>Shape of Lust>Hands of Wrath>Eyes of EnvySocial utility, combat utility and general utility - these three have it all. The side effects aren't too bad either, I already have intrusive thoughts about murdering my gf whenever I have my hands on her beautiful, delicate neck and that hasn't made me care for her any less. Sinners>Snapper>Mimi>Delilah>Harrison>Lada and Grusha>GarganguaAnd all the rest. Sorry, mate, I'm out. These people all deserve to be saved, I can't narrow it down to three. Snapper is the first one out though.
>>96882965>Satanic Surgeries : Shape of Lust, Horns of Pride, Hands of WrathLust to make Pride cheaper and Wrath for the inevitable violence. Seeing everyone as meat in motion isn't really a problem, that's just what body are. If Lust is an actual problem just wear loose or thick clothings with a mask or veil, the horns getting in the way is the annoying one.>Sinners : Mimi Kyu, Harrison Higuruma, SnapperHealing and body modifications, legal expertise and esoteric power uses, a loyal teammate and power boost.>Destination : NarutoChakra is really nice, Harry is great for that mission, and Mimi can have a great time with the various bloodlines.>Reward : True Immortality or Eternal RebirthCan't decide which one. Got no plan to die but some insurance is nice. Can use the god tree to try ascension by myself.Thought of getting Envy to do that >>96884215, but Naruto got magic eyeballs already, the sharingan do a pretty similar thing even.Do someone know what the plain white rectangular veil/mask that cover the whole face are called ?

>>96884757>I read all the lore in outer reincarnationBut did you understand it?
>>96882599>>96882741>>96882756>>96882773I dont even know what the issue is here. So I will go by examples.You can use Unlikely Alterations to swap a curse you have (Not "The Sun") to another curse at the same tier. So say you are Ventrue, you swap Rare Taste at tier 2 to maybe... say Deep Torpor at tier 2. Bing bong. Super easy. There is no other interaction with this choice. Every time you use it, it costs -1 Blood. No interaction can be made with The Sun, ever, using this choice. Simple as.Yes, you can also use this on Curses you get from other choices. Just not the Sun.>>96883588What did you think was not possible(or was possible)? I am truly unaware of how it could be anymore clear. Asking out of curiosity.
>>96884798>But did you understand it?hmmm nyo
>>96884947she looks like she fucks black guys
>>96884947The thing is that potent of blood says you can't reduce Salacious, which most people would assume means you can't swap it either because that just seems weird from a balance and roleplaying perspective.
>>96885173she is not gonna fuck you blackie
>>96885173She does, she's Miles Morales's bitch.

>>96885336Don't be mad the ladies want some chocolate
>>96885338Any comfy cyoa would do.
>>96885338>plot armorcope armor for losers with skill issues
>>96885375Would it? Isn't a comfy world just universal plot armor? Would picking that not just invalidate the comfy?

>>96885443This changes nothing desu, I still choose Outer Reincarnation; the rest of you just need to sit back and watch while I show you what a true struggler looks like>"failing" the cyoa sends you back to this world with a "at least you tried" ribbonWhy the safety net?
>>96885453Was it a safety net? Ok, you die then and your soul is destroyed.I thought going back here was the worst punishment imaginable, but maybe I'm the only one who thinks that.
>>96885456Depends on what you meant by 'failing'. In most cases, failing probably means you're dying, so getting sent back just means you get an extra life.

>>96885849>>Pseudoscience is a set of beliefs, theories, or practices that claim to be scientific but are incompatible with the scientific method.Yeah, I know what pseudoscience is but here are two points:You can breed to select for traits to be likely to be passed down the whole animal/plant breeding we have been doing since agriculture was invented is a science.Second in universe if all the fuckery her family did to produce her worked then are they wrong?Something being scientific means it can be replicated following the same steps, so in that universe maybe taking note of temperaments does pay off.So maybe she is just a random mutant like you, and her family just thinks their hard work paid off?But then if they didn't see any improvements up to this point, why did they keep doing it?Maybe they confused better training and other advantages that money brings and confused it with them just being better breed?
>>96885860Waifus are okay but I believe they don't literally exist. Anons who think waifus are real are delusional, but there are many other anons who like waifus despite understanding they are fictional.

What is the sequel cyoa you fags are talking about?
>>96886123Yeah, a CYOA where I wasn't there.I arrived later, and I'm going to kill elves after their conquest.
>>96886146its in the same setting as the dnd war cyoa (which released first iirc), in that one the elves conquered the whole world ages ago or something
>>96886123Which cyoa?
>>96886123To add to this, the kingdom of Potamis where the cyoa is set in is specifically mentioned to have completely wiped out and erased from history shortly after the event of the cyoa happen.>>96886146Blood and Fire
>>96886123What if Anon just fucked off after becoming immortal, and it's his descendants who jobbed?
I refuse to believe the treehuggers could so easily steamroll all other races like that

Would it be ok to write a waifu groomed as a child?I want to have waifus that suffered from different kinds of abuse and wanted to have a rape victim, but I'm not sure /CYOAG/ is ready for that conversation.
>>96886178One of the units you have access to in the cyoa if you play as the !russians is a bunch of elvish tourists (or something). They have the same combat strength as the pet wyverns you get as the dragon empire dudesTheyre the elves from Witcher 3 Wild Hunt, the ones in the spiky armor.
>>96886175You could take Ananti and fuck off to a different continent or something. Maybe there's dwarves somewhere else you could link up with.
>>96886196>Rape victimYou're going to have the shitposters crying about used goods

>>96886226
>>96886236>>96886234I think he based them off the guys from elric, menibone or whatever (its what the valyrians were also based of of)
>>96885179True and honestly, I would have probably stated(and preferred) you could not. But I care not enough to update such minor splat text, so now its canon. At this point, some anon probably thinks he can make a bane free build somehow because of some wild interpretation(without Golconda). I just cant win. Somehow my style in writing opens up ways to interpret things in unique ways. I should probably write my own religion.>>96885173Why did you choose to focus on this?
I'm newDid this Gil guy have a habit of setting you up to fail in his cyoas? There's this and the people talking about him getting off on it last thread(I think? Might have been the thread before it)
What are the best fantasy cyoas? I want to see what they did right.
>>96882393I do see a lot of potential in this one. I’m a sucker for modern day power cyoas and class systems, honestly. However, the concept is muddled and poorly executed. I do really want it to work. Anons, feel free to disagree with me on these points…If I were to make changes so the concept is more cohesive, I’d dedicate almost the entire build portion to the “other life” that has now merged with yours. Their background, their class, their magic, their abilities, their allies, and their patron. This would serve as the groundwork for what you can expect going forward. Then you could have a page or two dedicated to the differences between you and previous life, drawbacks under the auspices of deviations that let you define who you are and how this other life has impacted you. Then you can fill in quests, missions, or companions merged from the other’s allies and use these areas to flesh out how the merge has impacted the world as a whole. As it stands, you get the initial premise then dive right into way over explained and muddled mechanics which do very little to build any atmosphere or immersion. In particular I feel like just saying “5th level DnD” is incredibly unimaginative. In the final section the author goes on to describe a post-apocalyptic hellhole with zero transition between you walking out your door and everything having gone to shit in a way that implies years have passed.

>>96886266oh god is she a fujo? that actually explains so much, probably schlicked herself silly thinking of big strong elvish hunks carrying her off

>>96886289>>96886175>>96886200If I remember correctly, the lore doc mentions that the !arab kingdom that the desert loli hails from got out unscathed.>>96886142>Didnt the !cu-chulains manage it?You mean the Knights of the red branch? they didn't beat him, just put enough of a fight to earn his respect and spare them.
>>96886319theres a lore doc?
>>96886234The problem with elves is that every last one of the keeblers you see on a battlefield has spent centuries training and fighting, and has decided to risk their nigh-immortal lifespans to see you dead. Even the least skilled elf warrior has more skill and experience than ten elite human veterans rolled into one. The flipside of this is that in the time it takes to train one elf, two humans can multiply into hundreds. An elf has to either outwait their enemies or kill them at an insanely skewed ratio. Elfwank makes sense, but the best settings find some balance by logistics.

>>96886736Arent they all seers? But theyre clearly not fully prescient right so I guess its just one of those blindspots or whatever, its not like seers see literally every event that ever happens. Maybe her ability is quite "short range" or something.

>>96886824I couldn't find it for some reason
Do any of you anons have that old CYOA where you build a spaceship and fight as a mercenary under an outer system republic in its war against earth? I remember it had a beige background, the choice of energy source and weapons was central, and there was a mission section that implies you're on the losing side if you can't turn the tide. It has been living rent-free in my mind but I can't find enough info to evict it. I know it exists though, I know because I remember it reminds me of Big, Big World, or that's what I think it was called, which in turn reminds me of Lone Observer's Roadtrip CYOA but that has nothing to do with the CYOA I'm digging for. Thank you for your help anons.

So, why are the elves helping the nords in Blood and Fire? Seems kinda sus, no? It's said that the nords survived the onslaught but the Knights of the Red Branch section says that Thanatos spared them. Which means that they won against the nords too.

>>96887031Read Darnath's description.
>>96887031Literally just personal whim I think, maybe gil wanted some deeper political intrigue but from what I see its just that some elvish dude has some friends in the north and decided to chip in.Its like if some african warlord turned out to be drinking buddies with someone from blackwater so american mercenaries got involved in his tribal conflicts.
>>96887204Sounds like (((knife ear))) propaganda to me
>>96887238>support border conflict in human kingdoms>provide enough mercenaries to escalate the conflict, not enough to get anyone a decisive victory>foster bad blood between the humans who should be uniting against you >war causes economic ruin for both participants>you are untouched because you live on another continent(?)>provide predatory loans to the nords to help them rebuildI think youre onto something.

Gargantua is the obligatory genius netrunner and possibly helps with implants too. Between those two, honestly, I have most of what I need for taking over Night City. Lust is basically there to make Pride cheaper. Greed is there to add some extra muscle since I’m already planning on getting lots of money for Pride and implants and no one expects the fucking dragon reveal. Harry will help to infiltrate corpos and be the extra muscle when I need it. Chalkydri has great synergy with the other two, since they can get info and opportunity he needs for his guilt nuke. It’s a bit of a weak combat build, but I think Cyberpunk is a setting where it works well, since most of the powerfully through proxies anyways. Since there are plenty of guns for hire, I think the best approach is to find ways to get info, resources, and allies. By the time I need to rescue the angel, I’d hopefully have enough money to use either Pride or Greed to pretty much auto-win

>>96886252>At this point, some anon probably thinks he can make a bane free build somehow because of some wild interpretation(without Golconda).Technically Bane free? Yes. Completely Curse free? No, but close. Though it does require a Caitiff with a T1 Bane Curse, Repentance of the Beast, Talentless Morsel, and Thinnest of Blood.

>>96887610After thinking it through more, it is the number eleven for a specific reason. Malkav is two degrees removed from Caine, and proper vampires end at the thirteenth generation. So from generation to an unknown variable goes as 1->13, 2->12 3->11, 4->13, and so on. The question is what is symbolized by the second number, by the number of Malkav's bodies.
>>96887931Go read their lore
>>96888071Vitreous Path of Necromancy can let you to absorb energies of death and spend them on anything that isn't rise for the night.The Father's Vengeance Path of Thaumathurgy can let you to eat ashes to rise for the night.With this, and Thinnest of Blood combo, you may as well be a human with vampire theme superpowers.
>>96888184>by the number of Malkav's bodiesI phrased this poorly.The question is what is symbolized by the fact that the second number represents Malkav's bodies.
>>96888184Also I made a typo here, it's 4->10. As in, the number fourteen minus the generation of the vampire is the output number. What this number means is what is unknown.
>>96887424The visuals are nicely spruced up. Are those discipline icons from something? I think it's the same as what another guy used. Unless that was also you.Also, wow, that is a lot of future planning. What's the idea about the life-extension technology vis-a-vis Kindred, though? Though I feel like we have to imagine this alternate 1991 isn't going to lead to our present smartphone/social media environment anyway, because if it does, the masquerade is just doomed.And, hm, please forgive/ignore mechanical quibbling, but I was curious about that fire 1 curse, and I think taking chronology at face value you probably would still be at fire 2. If I understand this correctly, you have two reductions, one from unnatural embrace (talentless morsel), and the other from koldunic sorcery (way of fire). The latter specifies that it lowers your fire bane by one tier if it's above tier 2. But since you're acquiring koldunic sorcery by drinking the blood of a contact (Lucian, I guess?), it seems unambiguous that you're already at 2 when you acquire it, and would thus not be reduced to 1.I hate feeling like I'm just trying to poke holes in these. I'm genuinely impressed by all the thought put into opinions of e.g. your sire and even the ghouls of your childe!
>>96888179What a cute cyoa
>>96888304Thanks a lot! It's great to know that someone enjoyed reading it.>Are those discipline icons from something?The discipline icons originate from the paradox vtm wiki (as opposed to the white wolf one). I used the same ones that the Unfortunate Kindred (not the same person) did.For example, here's Celerity: https://vtm.paradoxwikis.com/CelerityI just modified them using Gimp's fuzzy select (feather edges enabled) to cut/hollow out the different sections of each icon. Then I duplicated the layer so it wasn't so transparent.>What's the idea about life-extension technology vis-a-vis Kindred, though?The existence of life extension technology could be useful for vampires because it means the lifespan mortals expect can be longer (probably including younger appearances), meaning both Kindred and ghouls can remain in an identity longer without being suspicious. However, it also means that the main weakness of hunters (death of old age if they don't abuse Vitae) is lessened or gone. It also means that the practical benefits to ghouls (especially the wealthy ones) are worse or gone, increasing the risk of discontent or outright rebellion. That's horrible for Kindred when, going by trends so far, the importance of and dependence on ghouls is only going to increase.>curious about the fire 1 curseYou're right, using it in the way I did doesn't make logical sense. And you shouldn't feel bad about pointing out errors or questionable choices at all.
>>96888440>It also means that the practical benefits to ghouls (especially the wealthy ones) are worse or gone, increasing the risk of discontent or outright rebellion.Ah, yes, I was trying to think about threats to the masquerade from life-extension, but you're right, greatly extended lifespan in exchange for service isn't as fine a deal when you can get it without the service.
>>96888304>>96888440Order of operations can get really weird in Slyen CYOAs. Like you could fix the Koldunic issue by gaining hooks from chronicles and using them to unlock the unnatural embrace but locked initially.
>>96888182I'm sorry to hear that
>>96888179Did the thrid cyoa from the contest release?
>>96887348>Same reason the US lost it's hegemonyWho is the hegemon these days, then?
>>96888485>Like you could fix the Koldunic issue by gaining hooks from chronicles and using them to unlock the unnatural embrace but locked initially.I'm mostly trying to think of it as events that are happening in a world, where the embrace necessarily occurs before acquiring disciplines from contacts. The order in which you acquire and spend hooks while filling out the CYOA ideally should be irrelevant...although I think there at least a few choices where it arguably would make a difference. One that occurred to me was regarding the order of "increase a curse" vs "acquire a bane," if you can run them in that specific order you could pick one curse which becomes a bane at level 2 or 3 and end up with fewer total curse levels than if you have to run them in the opposite order.

>>96888937Based and correct, if you want to coom you can fantasize about it on the normal adventures you may have. There's no need to insert coomfaggotry on cyoas and in fact it's to it's detriment. Spending your creativity on such a pointless endeavor instead of focusing on the actually more interesting points of the cyoa is such a waste. If you absolutely need to coom just create a companions section with attractive characters instead of dedicating the entire cyoa to this shit.
>>96888950Vermillion is objectively the worst method.
>>96888950Jobs to forge
>>96888968You have billions of zombies running around the world that you could use to feed VV. You could use the Hunting Grounds when you're at a higher level.
>>96888972Zombies are too weak to give you any actual power. Hunting grounds is a cope and you can't stay in for long without attracting creatures which will destroy you. It's a trap option. Seems good until you realize everything is too weak on earth to provide upkeep, and you're forced to pay the hunting ground tax and then you have to play it very carefully to grind, and that your home world (earth) is where you will be slaughtering people for the most part... except, Anon, most of earth is post-apocalyptic and already destroyed, so you have even fewer people to feed on.In a normal setting it might be passable but the circumstances in which the cyoa takes place makes it a terrible option, frankly, the worst choice to take.
>>96888968Also trvth>>96888969They functionally are the same beyond aesthetics.>Create and integrate advanced sci-fi tech to do whatever you want>Create and integrate magical artifacts to do whatever you wantAll Machine vs Forge arguments are just Tech vs Magic arguments in disguise. Rake's only statements about the limits of Machine are that it's limited to sci-fi only, but that's still an absurdly broad category. Until he clarifies more, anything from laser guns to big crunch bombs are possible
>>96888983Not every zombie is a total shitter. The existence of the Corpse Lord seems to imply the zombos are capable of evolving. He is the strongest but I sincerely doubt he's the only one. Besides, VV benefits greatly from massive amounts of targets even if they are on the weaker side. In fact, I believe it would be much harder to use VV without the nigh endless amount of easy targets we have access too. You should use the Hunting Grounds intelligently, if you do you don't necessarily need to fear the creatures there. Just kill some things you know you can handle then fuck off before the bigger enemies take notice.
>>96888991The level of tech in the worlds we've seen it's not enough to extrapolate that tech can do literally anything you want, and that seems to be the anons main crutch when discussing MT.Forge is better for multiple reasons. The first one being accessibility, you will stumble upon artifacts literally anywhere you go, including the more tech based worlds. The second is that Forge actively refines and improves the artifacts you use. Third is that it's much easier to create artifacts with esoteric properties than it is with tech. Tech's main strength is that is can be more easily replicated while artifacts seem to be quite unique. For these reasons I think Forge is just a much better option and it's not even close.
>>96889003Anon, it is written so that you have to constantly push yourself against your limits in order to improve. You are literally stealing the power from others through thievery and murder.For sake of example I'll simplify it with levels. Where is it guaranteed that you will have a smooth isekai experience where you start at level 1 and only find opponents from level 1-3 range? Or when you hit level 10, your opponents stay within the level 8-12 range? I don't see that guarantee anywhere. So in practice, let's say that you hit level 20 after eating hoards of level 5 shitter zombies, what is stopping you from finding an area that is now level 70 zombies with every other area having level 5 zombies still? Nothing, because you don't have plot armor. Now you have to run around continuing to steal power from basic bitch zombies while hoping you find the level 20 zone in a totally randomized world where there are FOE tier level 100 enemies roaming around at random that you can suddenly run into. In contrast, pretty much every other option allows you to cultivate at your pace without needing you to throw yourself against a meat grinder and pray to the RNGods for a bone and pray that you can stay in the hunting grounds for 1 hour before a bigger monster catches your scent.This is why I'm saying it's a trap option. It SOUNDS good until you actually think it through. The more you think, the less viable vermillion becomes, and the more SHIT it is in practice. You don't have plot armor or a guarantee to only encounter enemies of your level or only a little bit stronger. In reality, most of earth is going to be flooded with shitty level 5 zombies and there'll be a few raid boss tier level 50s scattered here and there and the entire time you are at risk of death for no real benefit.The other options are better and allow you to comfortably cultivate without dependency or plot armor. Vermillion is the worst option.
>>96889043By the way, this is all considering that every method is roughly equal in practice. See pic related. Let's assume that at its best use-case scenario vermillion is 20% or 30% more efficient than other methods. OK, but in practice, most basic bitch enemies will not be close to your level to feed your method. So, in reality, your 20-30% growth speed is HEAVILY dependent on you finding equivalent enemies to steal power from, which you aren't always going to be rubbing up against (nor do you have the plot armor to survive suicidal odds every time and ensure that you only fight an enemy that is juuust right in your goldilocks zone of "I can take it, but it's juuuust strong enough to give me enough power").It's so shit when you read this line. If every method is roughly equivalent then once you consider the requirements and circumstantial RNG reliance of vermillion that requires you to have luck, RNG, and plot armor every step of the way, the actual efficiency is probably -20-30% compared to other methods. It's so trash I'd argue taking it will lower your overall growth as compared to you just focusing on one method. Seriously. Dedicate your entire time to any other method and you'll have a more efficient growth in power as compared to vermillion. It's so bad I cry because I'm all for slaughtering the masses but I can't even do it in this cyoa. Trap option.
>>96888950You misspelled thousand venoms
>>96889041>The first one being accessibility, you will stumble upon artifacts literally anywhere you go, including the more tech based worlds.why bother with this when you can custom make anything you need? with LL you're like one of the best crafters in existence, fat chance of anything you stumble across being better than what you could just make yourself>The second is that Forge actively refines and improves the artifacts you use.MT does this with tech in a way through stabilizing and energizing it with RE. one of the big IRL problems with handheld lasers or railguns is just powering the thing, but MT lets you sidestep all of that through integration, so an implanted laser for example can exert far more power than normally possible.>Third is that it's much easier to create artifacts with esoteric properties than it is with tech.skill issue and headcanon. MT straight up says it lets you replicate components through RE and aids in tinkering, making the whole crafting process easier and potentially letting you sidestep many troublesome tasks. forge on the other hand doesnt intrinsically make you a better artifact crafteras such, MT is the better option
>>96889070Thousand venoms with verdant, machine, or forge is good. Take with alchemy and item crafting options. Pop one heavenly dao divine transcendent phoenix pill and you'll jump entire tiers in a single leap.

>>96882393I'm making a Yandere CYOA. Does anybody have any cool art of yanderes?Also, what types of unnatural abilities do you consider most fun for yanderes to have?
>>96889234edgy stuff thats good for stalking like blood, and shadow magic
>>96889257Yeah, I thought about it. I actually kind of wanted to split the powers between certain yandere archetypes, like "primal" for heightened senses, "marital" for being inexplicably good a spouse is expected to be, "rage" for rage buffs and such, etc.
>>96889234>Also, what types of unnatural abilities do you consider most fun for yanderes to have?Healing powers, they basically demand that you put up with whatever freaky personality they're stuck to.
>>96889275Good point, do you have any suggestions on how the healing should work? Especially aesthetic wise.
>>96889282Make it her fluids. The most PG one being her saliva healing your wounds, so she has to lick your injuries.
>>96889273what about social powers based around manipulation?
>>96889290Good idea actually. Thanks!
>>96889291They also do fit, though I'd prefer them to not be too overt. It kind of ruins the fun when the mental powers are too strong. Any ideas that seem fun to you?
>>96889301what about a power that obscures her and what she does from other people's perspective like some kind of forced mental block ensuring you couldn't rely on others around you for protection, isolating you in public
>>96889317Oh, this one is great! Thank you for the idea!
