>>97180167
>>97180156>right now, everyone needs to be standing up for abortion rights, trans healthcare, a free palestine, and the right to protest. everyone needs to be recognising that what is happening in gaza is a genocide. nobody should feel comfortable or complicit with any of the right-wing power grabs in europe and north america. resistance to tyrants is loyalty to human life, and whatever you can manage to do will be woven into the tapestry of the future.This is some Gay shit.

random question, how many of you think youd actually be able to make it as a summoner or necromancer or spirit user or what have you, if you actually had to go and talk to and convince these entities to work for/with you, without some kind of cyoa buff to charisma or your ability to talk or anything
>>97180219
>>97180232
>>97180207>trans healthcare, a free palestinelmao
>>97180236
>>97180182Oh yes, I can't wait for Matterheroine to seduce me with Lamentations first edition. It should be registered as torture.>>97180228It'd depends on your ability to convince people in general to work for/with you. You're not a social pariah, right?
>>97180242
>>97180207Are you trying to summon the Jeet to scold us again?
>>97180228I would do extremely well, I think. I've got a knack for convincing people of things and everyone I know likes having me around. I'm not sure why but I've never been the type to look a gift horse in the mouth.
>>97180228In my native language? I can be pretty convincing. In English? I have an incredibly strong accent so I'd just probably make all them demons and devils laugh.
>>97180219remember that micha gave up on an update because there would have been inevitable nerfs, probably for the best if you ask me.
>>97180228This is so context dependent that in there is no real general case to give an answer for.>or anythingDo you mean that (You) must have zero leverage of any sort?A necromancer would normally be expected to have the minimum leverage that he is the one who sustains the unlife, or else he wouldn't be called a necromancer, is even that not available?
>>97180219Thank youBuild: https://rentry.co/w79w93be
>>97180266Good. He proved us with Dark Overlord he's not to be trusted with balance.
>>97180228I generally don't like those kinds of classes, it doesn't feel like your own power if it's something being borrowed to you.
>>97180277Kill yourself whinejeet.
>>97180276Now that's an image build I can get behind
>>97180228I'm not really the most charismatic, but my years in customer service made me at the least decent. i would say my patience and how nice i am are my strong points.
>>97180298Let's start with the fact that Israel as a state shouldn't have existed in the first place. Our ancestors lived in Africa. Does it mean all Europeans should go to Africa and colon- o wait...
>>97180298this is why i said its gay shit now SHUT UP and post cyoas
>>97180248This makes me want to write about a comrade forcing monogamy and hygiene on Matterjeet because she loves him.
>>97180276>assassin pixie>naive valkyrie>assassin anon>villainessYeah... the sleepovers are going to be interesting.
>>97180321this one looks like that cyoa about choosing a waifu but she has a secret. I remember picking one that ended up being a guy in secret.Sarah is the one that needs a person the most.
>>97180276>new god of murderI fucking kneel
>>97180273i mean, it does depend on some things, after all i have seen cases where the dead dont actually want to be undead or alive or anything close and are just fine with being dead for one reason or another, so in such cases youd have to convince them to make them willing to do things for you like animate a corpse or curse some poor sod for you, there are also cases where the strongest of undead are made by the person willingly turning themself or willingly allowing themself to be turned into an undead so theres that, also your last bit there is a misnomer cause necromancer isnt really the manipulation of corpses and the dead, necromancer is supposed to just mean someone who can speak with the dead, it just usually gets used as the term for undead manipulating classes cause tropes and media knowledge and whatnot but if anything a corpse manipulator would be more like, well, a corpse manipulator, or an animator, or a spirit infuser, etc, not a necromancer, its just these days we dont really recognize the profession as anything but necromancerjust like how modern media depicts archers as agile fast moving dealers that fill the enemy with hundreds of arrows before they fall or smth, even though in origin, an archer(not counting mounted archers) would barely move from their spot except to reposition to a new killing field, and they would use warbows that put a hole in you and the armor you wore to get here, and would do these shots from incredibly far away, not right next to the person while somersaulting around them, oh and they didnt use daggers as their melee (unless they were up against a knight or smth cause armor gaps), usually their melee was a full sized sword or mace or some such
>>97180266I am going to consider those classes cannon options that can be unlocked.
Whats the best fantasy war cyoa? Im in a dndish mood.
>>97180266>monster tamerYou just know.
>>97180266Didn;t know those were a thing. Witch Hunter and Best Tamer are cool options, not so sure about Barrier Wizard, way too defensive-looking for the whole bounty hunt thing, wish he included something like power sealing in its description.
>>97180266MOTHER FUCK THESE CLASSES ALL SEEM INTERESTING AND I WANNA PLAY THEM REEEEEEEEE
>>97180397there might be some reflection barrier shenanigans one can get up to, especially as some of these targets are real power houses so hitting them with their own attack would be incredible, also ive seen some crazy stuff get used with nothing but barriers, like a friggin laser cannon made by putting two reflection barriers close together reflecting poured in energy over and over until you let it loose, although i do admit adding sealing to the barrier caster would be amazing, although, it might be intended that its something implied it can already do by virtue of just making a barrier semi/fully permanent
>>97180404eres un chad kalcifer. Te siguen gustando los vaqueros? Solo quiero decirte que eres un chad y mucho más, no lo dudes, eres eso y mucho más. Guapo, musculoso, millonario y talentoso. No deberías quedarte triste. Levántate y demuestra que eres un oso
>>97180232Repost so it is all in the Reentry for tidiness.https://rentry.org/bkozoheb
>>97180465I will do what Carnachias taught me and rape both of them.
>>97180472I dont know who that is.
>>97180397I mean it says that with preparation you can arrange 'long term storage for troublesome foes'. I assume that means sealing them away entirely, and wouldn't be much good if it didn't do their powers.Barrier Wizard is also still a general caster class, so presumably you could get general magic offense options.Personally I love it. Dual classing with the Sorceror Knight might be neat. It's already a defensive powerhouse, but that'd give you full battlefield control. Trickster might be interesting for combining barriers with illusions maybe?
>>97180477The real one true goddess.
>>97180368> corpse manipulator would be more like, well, a corpse manipulator, or an animator, or a spirit infuser, etc, not a necromancerIn different registers a word may be used differently. Perhaps in anthropology the definition would be different, and I'm sure even there different authorities would define it differently, but in popular media context, which is the relevant context for almost all cyoas, calling someone who raises corpses to undeath a necromancer for it is exactly right. >just like how modern media depicts archers as agile fast moving dealers that fill the enemy with hundreds of arrows before they fall or smth, even though in origin, an archer(not counting mounted archers) would barely move from their spot except to reposition to a new killing field, and they would use warbows that put a hole in you and the armor you wore to get here, and would do these shots from incredibly far away, not right next to the person while somersaulting around them, oh and they didnt use daggers as their melee (unless they were up against a knight or smth cause armor gaps), usually their melee was a full sized sword or mace or some suchI don't think the analogy of this to the different definitions of "necromancer" works.Actually conversing with undead spirits and raising the dead to undeath are both equally impossible in real life.Meanwhile archery is something that is possible. An archer is someone who does archery. Since our cyoas more often than not involve superhuman powerlevels, an archer here may indeed shoot magical exploding arrows, and hop around like a superpowered monkey, and do whatever else, but he would be called an archer on the same grounds as an archer in real life (as a sport, or historically, for hunting or war) - everything else aside that he might do (however unrealistic or supernatural), he does archery.
>>97180276I assume that is the Saintess's bed
>>97180499It's the bed of the valkyrie, she is getting cucked.
>>97180477one of the goddesses of Isekai Rape Monster, in this case she is really obsessed with making her champion a rape master
>>97180482shes not even the one true goddess of her own faction shes just a sex addled goddess of darkness who tells you to rape everything with no concern for anything actually practical including things that can help in the areas around the rape like defeating someone in a fight or bringing them back to your lair or anything else, and shes probably alot of the reason the darkness is losing as badly as it usually is the only upside to her policies is how high the growth rate of monster numbers get with them in place
>>97180465Which one has a higher sex drive?
>>97180499Yes, that was my intention lol
>>97180521I do love that part where they can't agree who the best demon lord was
>>97180521shes also like most of the reason for the darks bad public image and relations, like if there wasnt so much rape (and death) so many more people would be willing to join the dark
>>97180535lol
>>97180465I give him the weapon instead
>>97180457You're pretty evil.
>>97180465Did gil make this?
We gotta make an Isekai Bounty Hunter, Isekai Rape Monster crossover CYOA.
>>97180521>shes not even the one true goddess of her own factionHeresy! Carnachias and her sister are the one true goddess of darkness, both of them are the same in my eyes. >shes just a sex addled goddess of darkness who tells you to rape everything with no concern for anything actually practical including things that can help in the areas around the rape like defeating someone in a fight or bringing them back to your lair or anything elsebut she does concer herself with those things. She is the one giving you the mental weakpoints of the heroines and the one that creates your body, even convincing her sister to allow another devil bloodline. Also helps with fertility rates and mind breaking sex to recruit enemies. The Hero's Soul and hybrid are her cheats, as the soul is her property and hybrird comes from her making your body.So she creates your body, 2 cheats are entirely hers, she is the core to any breeding/mind break build and she gives you the information that could let you defeat the heroines without waiting to be above their level.>and shes probably alot of the reason the darkness is losing as badly as it usually is the only upside to her policies is how high the growth rate of monster numbers get with them in placeThe reason the darkness is losing as badly its because the light cheated, which is something Ariel admits when he says he is not allowed to reincarnate humans into another world but Tomoko exists. This cheating was further confirmed by the author who said that after you neither side was allowed to do anything else due to this.And you ignored how she is the reason you can marry 2 goddesses, as she would offer herself and her sister.
>>97180609ignoring how the light cheated i mean, her desire for nothing but rape has caused so many of the darks losses its not even funny, and you didnt say anything about how people would be more willing to join the dark if it wasnt so rapey and just tempted people with power and position like normal
>>97180542Both have a point. Adalbaal was correct in his loyalty to Melanoche and dominating his army, as without making it clear he was on top you can end like Reala.And Gozka was clearly incredibly strong as he defeated a hero, and he allowing rape in his armies increased his numbers which is an easy thing Adalbaal didn't allow. The problem of Adalbaal was being too strict stopping him from ataking advantage of the unironically strong point in the monster side, breeding armies.The bad thing about Gozka is he being so much combat and rape focused made him really dumb to the point of lacking good strategies to keep his terroties and him not being really strict like Adalbaal made his armies not respect him and insurrect.The perfect demon king would be more like a mix of both.
I wish he had kept updating it. As is any option that gives extra classes is worthless due to the ability to unlock classes (which was a huge improvement otherwise).
>>97180573Isekai Rape Hunter sounds like a CYOA from a nearby mirror dimension that was never released in ours.
>>97180638> her desire for nothing but rape has caused so many of the darks losses its not even funnyThat was one demon king, not her really. You could say that demon king and Carnachias shared their interest but the demon king was dumb about it, being defined as a madman. Rape was clearly not his problem but his 0 mental stabilitty, his surname was Murderrape.>and you didnt say anything about how people would be more willing to join the dark if it wasnt so rapey and just tempted people with power and position like normalThat is the side of her sister. If someone is only interested in that they can join anyway. Not every monster is focused on it either. And the ones that are clearly increase their numbers a lot thanks to that.If someone was like "okay, I am going to murder anyone in my way... even innoncents nuns, burn cities, posion the well etc... but people that are not me raping? no, thats where I cross the line" then he has a very weird moral as what he would be doing anyway its incredibly dark.By the way, we know one of the 6 big dark forces is... the pope of Carnachias and another is a creature that is a problem because of her making monsters breed abnormally fast. Meanwhile of the other 4 dark forces none can be attributed to Melanoche.I am not saying she is a secret mastermind or that Melanoche is only failures, both of them have good and bad points in their ways to conquer and like >>97180657 says, they mirror their favourite demon king in the sense the best version would have things from both.
>>97180699the dark would still be so much better if it atleast dialled back the rape, much like how mge would be a perfect setting if it didnt have the rape, instead i get yelled at for trying to talk about even the non-rape bits like the great worldbuilding and interesting items and power sets
>>97180718better in what sense? its not going to recruit people in the good side even if they dial it back, it would only reduce the number of troops. If you are the "bad side" from the get go toning down something that is good for gaining more soldiers will only reduce the number of soldiers and make your enemies hate you less but still want you dead. With how that setting is, the best for the dark is comitting to being bad and taking advantage of everything even if immoral so they can overpower the light who restricts itself but has classes being superior to monster evolution in the long run.
>>97180219People are sleeping on the Eye of Torpor + Mortality Mien + Curse Mage combo. Add a chain too, give yourself some curses like -100% damage to races other than humans and you can really fuck people up
>>97180266>micha gave up on an update because there would have been inevitable nerfs,Why would there be nerfs? No one broke the cyoa, or came up with an insta-win build, did they?
>>97180782I did.
>>97180782Anons were having too much fun
>>97180782The one broken thing in the cyoa is Team Effort, but I don't think that's the thing being referenced.
>>97180228>how many of you think youd actually be able to make it as a summoner or necromancer or spirit user or what have you, if you actually had to go and talk to and convince these entities to work for/with you, without some kind of cyoa buff to charisma or your ability to talk or anythingMost people just want someone to pay attention to them, and care if they're (un)happy. It's not that hard.Cosmic-tier entities? I . . .don't know. What one might consider properly respectful, another might consider boringly subservient. So I don't know.
>>97180782Hard to do a "nah, I'd win" build for it without looking like a total retard. Which is actually one of the highest praises I can give to a CYOA.
>>97180806
>>97180807>Hard to do a "nah, I'd win" build for it without looking like a total retardMaybe for you lil bro
>>97180782this is why i said its better if he didn't update it, he would have needlessly nerfed something he perceived as overpowered when there was no need to.Btw something that authors needs to realize is that not everything needs to be balanced, fun its the most important factor.
>>97180816Post your build, unc
>>97180815
>>97180826
>>97180756Anon thinks rape is ontologically evil and doesn't care about the strategic aspect
I'm not sure if anyone here cares anymore but a bunch of Jumpchain stuff on Google Drive is getting deleted. In the event you do care, my advice is back up any CYOA or JC related stuff you use to your own device.
>>97180879
>>97180879That was always the case with any online data storage ever but thanks for a heads up I guess.
>>97180879Thanks not so rude dismissive guy
>>97180879I don't care about that specifically but take it as a lesson zoomies, cloud always means someone else's hard drive.
>>97180879Jumpchains are all pdf, right? How are you even handling the post-pdf 4chan?
>>97180920Nta but if you go there you will see each thread takes... days to finish. Before pdf crisis it took one day. If I remember correctly they are in some "bunker" and just come out of habit
>>97180820Yea the outrage at the Overlord update is overblown, but Micha definitely NERFs when he shouldn't. A genuine antifun streak.
>>97180963He buffed necromancer in Dark Overlord with the newest update. As long as my build is on top, all others could suffer for all I care
>>97180878I realized it, I guess in fantasy we usually have a lot of monsters killing innocent people and now we don't feel anything seeing it, meanwhile rape in media is used to give the audience strong feelings. But realistically, if you are killing innoncent people, burning cities and your goal is for monsters to dominate then raping is another bad thing in the long list of bad things, not noteworthy compared to the rest.
>>97180920I don't use 4chan for JC stuff, but I noticed a couple popular Google Docs going offline and had I not backed them up they might have been lost to time completely. I do the same thing with literally every CYOA I don't hate, it's not just jumpchain, but that community seems to be on its last legs and I felt the need to tell someone, I guess.
>>97180228I'm Jewish, I'd be fine.
>>97180879>>97181008Why not post that in their general? I'm sure they'd like to know.
>>97180979First they came for the Elitism fags and I did nothing because I was not an Elitism fag....
>>97181023Can only convince YHWH lackeys... lol poor Kabalah anons.
>>97181008If you're just talking about the general, they mostly fucked off to another site after 4chan banned pdfs. Pretty sure the drive has a link to it.
>>97181029I bet he did and is just being thorough.
>>97180573are they more or less in the same ballpark power level wise?
>>97180057hentai heroine
>>97181053Ehh some "adjustments" would be needed but overall they are pretty comparable as far as these things go.
>>97181065Lol, LMAO even
>>97180057Aromage is making a dispatch cyoa isnt she?
>>97180457Fact. Anyone who does not see the disproportionate brutality in that situation is retarded
>>97181091Yea and that isn't the same as being pro-Palistianian. Just because they suck doesn't make genocide okay.
>>97181091>>97181116I love genocide, sorry if you are not based enough to enjoy genocide.
cyoa for that feel besides lamentations?
>>97181251ask the cyoa subreddit, they should know
>>97181251Unironically /trash/ or the cyoa subreddit would have better answers for furshit.
>>97181251
>>97181283
>>97180820Someone posted the original Isekai Bounty hunt thread from the archive last thread and I didn't realize Micha had NERFed Dual Class multiple times.
>>97180820No. Balance your game properly you lazy faggot.
>>97181317Just hand wave like Rake and declare all choices equal.
Already 14... where are the cyoas?
>>97181348no cyoa until you are 18 and beware, some anons will want to touch you so get out before they do
>>97180219>BOONS:>insurance policy (free)>soul relocation (free +1 boon)not that much of a drawback imo>weaponized soula high quality weapon that grows with you and can be summoned at will is pretty good>lesser reapingdamage that can't be resisted or blocked is pretty nice, it might be low now but it will grow stronger especially with my class>blood feasthealing is alright but x2 to all stats for hours sounds insane, especially if I could stack it with the potions the same choice hints about>mana heartI think at high levels every class has at least something to do with mana, so this is bound to be useful>body overridebreaking news: local reaper too angry to die.also the added mobility could let me fight in a more unpredictable way>CLASS: blessed soulgoing all in in for the boons, besides the combat and social skills of the class are perfect for the task of finding and reaping the targets>EQUIPMENT: class equipment (free)>skeleton keyjust too useful to pass up>dark healer's sceptereven if I can heal through blood, having something to heal my other companions would be nice>bracelet of mirroringprepare for trouble, and make it double!>hateful ring"ignores magical defenses and disrupts regeneration" yep, this is an insane item to have>unstable mutagenI'm rolling the gacha>TARGETS: allnot all at once obviously, but I want to end all of them>ALLIES: rookie valkyriegood balance for combat and support>peckish lamiadebuffs and summons, besides she might be onto something by trying to kill the immortal witch by eating her>relentless animated armortank>REWARDS: idk, I will choose them after each job, but if I mess with the mutagen gacha then race change would be my first choiceso I'm focusing on combat with my boons and combo my class with lesser reaping+blood feast stat boost I should be able to punch above my level with guaranteed soul damage
>>97181317>>97180820>>97180782>>97180266Why do authors bother with balance when you can just write at the start of the cyoa>All choices are equally strong
>>97181356>>97181348Run, before the rat arrives.
>>97181362Why does balance bother with authors when you can just write at the start of the cyoa>All strengths are equally choices
>>97181317you really hate fun uh
>>97181362i know what you are tying to do rakesheether, fuck off.vermilion verses is on the same level as the other methods.
>>97181373wise
>>97181362Without perfect immortality (ie not bounded by heat death of the universe etc), all options are balanced because they lead to your death. The differences in the trajectory are temporary and superficial.
>>97181364
>>97180820The point of creating a cyoa is to see all the choices people can make. If you see that one choice is being picked by everyone over all the other choices, then you can easily admit that you fumbled the numbers and adjust it later.The issue is when faggots cannot stop crying about their build needing a slight adjustment because they were abusing something clearly overtuned.
>>97181389
>>97181385>vermilion verses is on the same level as the other methodsOf course it is. It says so right there. They are all equal. I wonder why other authors don't just say that and save all the time needed to balance.
>>97181388would you say its the same to die a virgin, get raped in prison and having a perfect life with the 10/10 sweet woman because you die at the end? I understand being immortal > not being but you are very obsessive for someone that will die.
>>97181400What's the overtuned option in isekai bounty hunter that everyone's choosing?
>>97181400>Abusing something overtunedThe problem is authors thinking they are in charge of the league of legends championship when they are just making powerpoint presentations. Things are allowed to be overtuned
>>97181417Yes.No. I was shitposting and do not actually believe what I say.
>>97181415
>>97180979>I spammed him on discord so that he would buff my buildWe know
>>97181438
>>97181458We play together. We had a minecraft house with only one double bed. He sent me photos of his feet. Make of that what you want but I am more important than you
>>97181415I remember thinking "wow, Knil is pretty cute" thinking he was a tomboy. Nio best girl.
>>97181400the point of reading and making a build for a cyoa is having fun, if your changes make your cyoa less fun then the cyoa is worse than the previous version and you as an author are to blame for it.>>97181416those other authors bend the knee to niggers like you.you are the only one shitting up the threads with your whining for vermilion verses
>>97181466I already said that we know, anon. You don't need to give me you and your boyfriend's life story.
>>97181359>>CLASS: blessed soulBlessed Soul requires at least three targets. Who are you going after?
>>97181491>you are the only one shitting up the threads with your whiningYou are literally whining right now, though.
>>97181377I hate unbalanced shit and slobs going "make it yourself rofl lmao" like the failed novelists they are.
>>97181283There was a cyoa very similar to this one. It had the same multi narrator thing but it was only one page, and the narrators said strange things in the bottom right corner too. Same design too, but it was wider I think.
>>97181400>The issue is when faggots cannot stop crying about their build needing a slight adjustment because they were abusing something clearly overtuned.no the issue you authors not releasing a finished product and then removing something that a lot of people took it in the name of balance detracting from the enjoyment of all those that took the original choice.
>>97181506>>97181362
>>97181278>Unironically /trash/I wish. The furry fad has died and now they're doubling down on feminization and yuri-only cyoa.
>>97181359care to explain why the female picture? good sir
>>97181570Plausibly male.
>>97181581this type of "plausibly male" but with added big chest because that armor has a big chest space for a man
>>97181483Same! i ended up taking both Nio and him...>>97181359>>97181581>>97181593nice

>>97181458Nah, there's just more than one person who picked one out of 4 options in one of 8 archetypes. I know it's surprising considering cyoas are a dead medium but that's true. Also, if I ever see a discord nigger IRL, I'll stomp on their skull.

>>97181649Sadly that's a real problem we have here. Some retards need everything to be stated.

>>97181707Same.When I make self-insert builds (which is most of the time) I will try and aim for a peaceful and passive state of being because that's what I'd really want long-term.If that is trivially achievable, the cyoa is worthless, because the build requires no thought and consideration. The point of build-making is such thought and consideration.
This place is infested with miseryfags.
>>97181521I have never seen an author remove a choice, at most they split one choice into a couple because they were too general.Just pick the old version to make your build if it's such big deal for you, no one is stopping you. The only difference is that you won't get all the new things added.

>>97181893What?
so many people complaining about people playing as girls whether it be luminary or ibh or anything else, well how many of you play the female character in video games, probably all or most of you cause if youre going to look at a character for hours on end they might as well be attractive unless youre playing a fromsoft game in which case youre too busy dodging or parrying instakill attacks to care
>>97181913When I can customize a character, I always make the ugliest fatass I can. I'm already putting them under armor, why wouldn't I make them funny to look at?
>>97181829>Choose your own boogeymanMiseryfags, metafags are bad, don't get me wrong but miseryfags are worse because they ruin what could have been a good cyoa by whispering their corrupting lies to authors, at the least metafags stay on their own lane, techfags are pretty shitty, they are so annoying because they think technology can solve any problem, even when its clear it does not.newfags and samefags are just a nuisance most of the timesall the others are not even that annoying.>>97181852>picaw fuck wrong picture, well lets say I'm the one with the axe and tok is the orc below me
>>97181948So Tok will end with an axe wound? Interesting...
>>97181913>f youre going to look at a character for hours on end they might as well be attractiveA really common and retarded reason to make a female character.
>>97181913When I can customize or choose a character, I almost always pick a woman desu. Been like that since Pokemon Crystal.
>>97181913Why the fuck would you waste time customizing your character?
>>97181913>well how many of you play the female character in video games,I never play female characters. I only care about the female character creator when you can make a companion character that follows you around, otherwise I don't even look at it. Be it in games or cyoas if I'm supposed to be a character I just make myself, and I don't want to be a girl.
>>97181968You can think of it as a sandbox game unto its own.
>>97181971You're fucking welcome by the way.
>>97181913Shit example/comparison, you are not playing a videogame but a cyoa, you will not see things in third person, if in your build you are a woman you look like that, the comment on wanting to be attractive becomes retarded unless you have autosexuality and get off upon seeing your body.
>>97181998>tranny sex optionThis is definitely a reddit cyoa.
>>97181998What the hell is that? Do I have to thank you for putting a "You have to be a girl for stats but you can pretend you are not" option in the cyoa?
>>97181998Why go through the trouble of all that.
>>97182019>>97182027>Why go through the trouble of all that.>>97181971>>97181913Because of these people.
>>97181998yea this guy is right >>97182027 what is the point of doing this?
>>97182036So you put in an overly complicated option in a cyoa, that doesn't even solve the problem because you still need to be a girl for stats? You fixed nothing, you just make it worse.
>>97182019The only other option is to admit you are incapable of separating fantasy from fantasy.
>>97182036>Because of these people>>97181971>I don't want to be a girl
In character customization, I choose the top left horsie. I feel it represents me best.
>>97182052No, I self insert, and I don't want to be penalized for having fun. Not wanting to be a girl doesn't mean I can't separate fantasy from reality, it means I don't want to be a girl even in fantasy. It's that simple.

>>97182061the pink one is so fucking cool
>>97182063That's what the option says, you can be a girl but pretend you are not. That's what a transmog is, it's an illusion over a different object to change how it looks, it's not real.
>>97182068NTA but 95% of CYOA the here is from reddit or imgur which is also reddit
>>97182076Are you upset about the word "transmog"?I'll remove it just for you that way you don't have to pretend not to be a girl anymore.
>>97182082Very low quality bait, but I'll bite. Most of that shit is reposted to reddit from here, dumbass.
>>97182089
>>97182062You are literally admitting that you cannot picture the build unless you are the protagonist.The idea that a build has to be exactly you or that you cannot self insert if that's the case is stupid.
for me personally im just not that attached to my gender, im not trans but if i woek up as a girl id be like, huh, and then move on, maybe getting to see how life would be different with tits instead of a dick, and thats about it
>>97182097>The idea that a build has to be exactly you or that you cannot self insert if that's the case is stupid.No it's not, it's your adventure. If it's not me then it's not my adventure. Cyoas are only for self inserting, or they are not your adventure.
>>97182095

>>97182082Holy newfag redditor, anon reddit steals all the good OC from here. Reddit makes nothing of value ever.
>>97182097It's choose YOUR own adventure, not choose their adventure, retard-kun. If you're not self-inserting you're quite literally playing wrong.
>>97182097Who cares? That's how I have fun, so you don't get to decide that.
>>97182089my biggest problem with the fate series is two fold, i like way too many of the magical fields available and want to put like all of them into my work as a mage and craftsman of magical items, and i do mean way too manyand in the reverse side, none of it actually matters cause magecraft is dying a slow agonizing death no matter the verse eventually being replaced with spirtron hacking which is essentially technomancy if it got ahold of the underlying code of the universe, and so far as i know, contains pretty much NONE of the fields that im interested in from magecraft beyond what are basically replicas to make recognizable characters and powersets and thats only for like two of them iirc homunculi and jewelcraftso yeah, really like type moon magic, too bad i like too much of it and everything i like is dying uncontrollably

>>97182155lol, lmao
>>97182191I started making an image build for this. But it got too complicated and long and I ran out of energy. Thus it perished in my trash bin. I've found myself to be healthier of mind if I don't keep WIPs around.
>>97182233You seem.... Obsessed with Rake
>>97182152>>97182228I am not fooled by your jugaad.
>>97182197>>97182202It's kind of rare, but that's mostly because there is not the stream of OC there once was. In any case, most CYOAs are not new, and most only get posted a couple times. Other people here take care of posting the new ones and I usually stick to stuff I glean from the archive. The list of folks who routinely share less common CYOAs is a small one, so I think it's worth trying to dredge them up. Icescape was my favorite in recent months, but there are some others I can't call to mind right now. I look over every new release>>97182200I don't think the appeal to the original term is really fair, but I still agree with your point. Like people have said in the past, most CYOAs involve such a change in your circumstances that worrying about holding onto your exact previous self is kind of silly, although that's pretty far from becoming an entirely different person. The whole argument is retarded, anyway. What's wrong with self inserting or coming up with a character?>>97182251I pray you will begin again. I crave builds for this, (one of) my favorite CYOA
Should races be "general" (human/elf/dwarf/lizardman) or should they be broken up into "subraces" as appropriate?
>>97182270
>>97182275>>97182274More granular choices are usually better in my opinion. I like subraces, subclasses
>>97182097some anons just have poor imagination
>>97182278
>>97182283
>>97182289
>>97182274Depends what you want out of them. For world building having more division is better, if you want the player to just be creative then being general is better.
>>97182295
>>97182274I like original subraces of classic races.For example, the only race is dwarfs, but there are 10 subraces, and half of them are completely blind cave-adapted dwarfs.
>>97182295Damn this is fucking long
>>97182251It has no immortality.
>>97182274General race. If you want a specific race it should be a trait or something later. Like a human with blood from another race. Alternatively, just list the subraces immediately in the race selection area.
>>97182299>>97182306just past the halfway mark
>>97182314
>>97182270There was an interactive CYOA inspired by this, a few months ago. It was unusually fun (for an icyoa).
>>97182274depends but usually only if theres some tangible benefit to it that makes it work into build crafting, although one could say the opposite cause then they can be any subrace they want and still be optimized for the build they want to do rather than be hardlined, so really it just depends on personal prefference
>>97182279is not about having imagination or not its about being comfortable with being themselves and not wanting to someone else>>97182274general
>>97182311>mortalcuckYeah, not playing. I only play immortal coded CYOA.

>>97182342
>>97182347Done
>>97182327Nta, I think it's this.https://mamick.neocities.org/earat/cyoaIt's the only one that comes to mind. But it's a bit strange, the world is not grounded at all.
>>97182351Yes that's the one I meant.
>>97182351I'm going in. Wish me luck
>>97182351>>97182358I remembered, for anyone playing this:In chargen, DO NOT pick Exile, it blocks you out of most options later.
>>97182378Good luck I guess. I wonder what will annoy you more, because I know there will be several things you don't like. And I wonder if it will be worth it enough for a build.
>>97182378fuck you, i hope you have an awful experience playing an interactive cyoa
>>97182274It depends, choosing wood elf vs dark elf can be meaningful but it can be unnecessary as well. Real issue is racial stats and playstyle. On the one hand I want Racials to be meaningful and on the other I don't want to have to choose a certain race to match my playstyle. For me personally it's been an issue as I like Elves but Generally go for martial play styles. I don't mind Orcs and Minotaurs having the undisputed strength bonuses, but a lot of Elven Racials are just pure mage or bust

>>97182501>>Often in the form of an interactive CYOAI think that this is your main problem.
>>97182395I didn't really enjoy it but it was tolerable. The exposition was poor, the AI art sucked, the rolling got annoyingly repetitive, and the whole concept of a CYOA that is focused on the time BEFORE you take control is kind of lame. The writing was decent and somebody clearly put some effort into making this, but it doesn't hold a candle to A Life Chronicle. Thanks for sharing though
>>97182501>Often in the form of an interactive CYOAyes, i know interactive cyoas are cancer>>97182515you played an interactive cyoa, what did you expect?
>>97182515About what I expected. The same author made a system cyoa too. You know like those anime/manga with game like mechanics. In my opinion that one is better, but that mostly because I hate rolling in cyoas.
>>97182521They almost always suck, but I don't think the medium itself is poison. Even if it was good, it would definitely be something very different from what we share here. Let a hundred flowers bloom>>97182526Why don't you like rolling? I don't typically like full-on RYOAs but I think a little can introduce some "realism", or just shake up your usual formula a little
>>97182311>>97182324Easiest way to get tok to out himself.
>>97182539t. mortalcuck
>>97182537>Why don't you like rolling?Because it's a choose your own adventure, and I expect to be able to choose what I want. I don't care about realism, most of the time it just translates to less fun. I'm also really lucky when it comes to this kind of stuff, so it wouldn't even shake up anything, and I don't want to shake up things either, I know what I want.

>>97182537>Why don't you like rolling? I don't typically like full-on RYOAs but I think a little can introduce some "realism", or just shake up your usual formula a littleJumping in:I'm kind of in the middle of you two. Personally, I'm a bit of a control freak, so I don't like relying on luck when making a build. Having some wild cards can make for a more dynamic build, in a way that not even mystery boxes can. But I like a chance to respond to that randomness, too.The RYOA aspects of something like Summoner's Choice seem like a nice balance. There hasn't been any contact for a thousand years, so it makes sense that some things have changed in the setting. (You) simply should not know what forces the demon lord is mustering, or how the AI goddess is responding, or even how developed the starting area is. So there's a limit to how optimized (your) build should be.(My last build for it got Hero+ and Tech+ vs. Vampires, Haga, Succubi, and Fallen)But too much rolling isn't a good thing, as it denies (you) proper agency. (You) made at least some decisions that influenced how (your) life turned out, right?

>>97182940>2d waifus from cyoas are robbing anon BLINDdamn those gold diggers
>>97182940Don't worry Anon, money is fake toilet paper and there'll be a shakeup here soon.
>>97182882My one complaint about it is the inflexibility of the summoning model. It's all well and good to have a generic summoner who can only summon 4 races, but that doesn't fit the philosophies of the different schools.If I were doing my own version:*The Tree if Life can summon all natural races . . .but hybrids, fantasy races, and all upgrades are extremely expensive.*shirow's School of Tulpamancy - unlimited species, but can't make templates. All summonses must be unique entities - with a sizeable increase in casting time - but has their own pool of upgrade points, reflecting their "artisanal" emphasis on "fleshed out" designs.*McVee's Bunker - get a bunch of species, at the price of being locked out of high level summonsed. The whole horde mentality thing.*Monster Academy - Get a lot of species, at the price of being locked out of the cheap, low level possibilities. A reflection of their emphasis on high power summonses.*Franken House - only get four base species, but can swap in elements from any other species they've studied.
>>97182928Wait, I'm wrong here. McZee's is actually better for Legendary minion spam (cause it gains 8 points compared to Ultra-Elite and not 4), only contested for that in any way by the Hall of Tomes and Tree of Life (to get more than three paths). Shiro's and the Fraken House are fun but not practically useful.
>>97182928If you look at the bonuses, some of the strongest builds you can make involve taking McVee's Bunker or Monster Academy... with an eye towards the other school's philosophy. Monster Academy's bonuses are greater for boosting a horde of low level monsters, while McVee's bonuses make it much cheaper to get high level monsters on the field.
>>97182557>Oldest Weald>-Fallen Caelidus - Fae Estates - Bitter Glaciers - The Titangraves>Path of the Reaver>Old Journal>Sturdy Furs>Last of DragonkindSince my nemesis allows me plenty of time, I will grind out the Weald, taking advantage of the diversity of beasts, at first avoiding contact with anything other than the weaker ones and relying on the Old Journal to study their habits. I'm not sure if it's a realistic option even over a long period, but the goal would be to unlock the Reaver ritual before moving on to the next region. I will assemble a coat-of-many-colors (using the Sturdy Furs as a base) from various hides collected in the Weald, then hunt and skin the Most Dangerous Game in Caelidus, as surreptitiously as possible, hoping to create some kind of schizophrenic half-man half-monster half-fashionista. That seems like the best time to enter the Estates, as I'll be at my most entertaining and most adaptable. From there, the Bitter Glaciers and Titangraves should mostly be simple survival, and the Dragon may have a worthy opponentIf Night Rider is around, I'm curious what the effects of wearing dozens of skins might be. Do they have to be present in their entirety? Can they be sectioned out and maintain full or partial strength? Does it depend what part of the hide, maybe?
>>97182864>My last build for it got Hero+ and Tech+ vs. Vampires, Hags, Succubi, and Fallen)I was happy with that, by the way. A steampunk society with 30+ heroic students should be tough enough that I don't have to worry about the demon lord runnning amuck. Might even be able to poach some of those students for my team.Also got Rough Start and Dungeon, which I'm fine with. Rough Start is a one time inconvenience, and if you can think fast on your feet, easily recoverable from. Still have my army, and don't have to worry about a fourth faction (magical girls or shadow demons) running around. A three sided conflict is more than messy enough - four just starts to get ridiculous.
>>97183071
>>97182864I've found the answer: have a Parasite species possess your other summons to lend their abilities. The only limit mentioned is that you can't put more than one in a creature. If you can do this, then McZee's Bunker Elite (any) + Elite Parasite has a total point worth of 24 points for a one week summon time. The only downsides compared to Legendaries are that you can't take Sacrificial and you can't spend all of the points in the same monster ability to stack 2x multipliers. You could even apply Mental Illness & Moron to the one being possessed for 2 more free points, and apply any other drawbacks you want twice.
