>>97219871

>>97219880
>>97219855Magic that’s material and time consuming is more worthwhile and satisfying. But why not both? Do rituals for lasting or inherent benefits.
>>97219855I don't like magic that takes many steps because I have ADHD.
>>97219887This. Do it like Taoist cultivation/sorcery. You do ceremonial labours to upkeep your inherent powers/wavelength. Even simple pleasures like masturbation could deplete your power!>>97219899>I don’t like working for something because I am lazy and a no good scatter brain Fixed that for you.Even Einstein was a fucking mess, anon.
>>97219855oc was posted last thread, you know?
>>97219904I'm not Einstein.
>>97219855>>97219887thisFor example it's great to be able to fly around with magic. Even big fans of slow ritualistic magic will probably agree on that one.
>>97219906Who cares about OC.
>>97219909“But I don’t WANT to recharge my flying stick! It takes too looooong!” *starts having a hissy fit as he puts on his boots to go collect more baby fat to rub on his magic flying stick - a gift from the fucking devil*
Wizards don’t actually want you to know how labor intensive their magic is. — “the more effortless the sorcery appears, the more men fear the sorcerer” - a game of thrones
>>9721985520-page OC tomorrow.
>>97219931Thank GOD for pdfs… oh wait…
Mirrorseeker makes the kind of CYOAs I would like to make. Unfortunately I am too stupid. I will concede that they're a little much, but I can put up with that for some creative ideas. It's a lot better than typical isekai slop, at least>>97219906My mistake; I forgot. The author should have waited until Christmas Eve however, so I will repost it then>>97219931SurinicAI?
>>97219936
>>97219936>Unfortunately I am too stupidAw you’re cute
>>97219931I'll be trusting you, Anonymous-sama...
>>97219931Slop tomorrow
>>97219936>SurinicAI?I don't think so - our pocket bot said that all his 'big ideas' were realized. We likely won't get anything the size of BONC or Judas for a while.A man can dream, though.
>>97219925you fucking idiot, the quote its from A Dance with Dragons, not from A Game of Thrones
>>97219931I dislike the art style. The background stands out too much. And the quest section is superfluous.
>>97219946>his big ideas>Chatgpt, please generate another cyoa!
>>97219935>>97219936>>97219941>>97219942>>97219951I wasn't announcing, I was hoping for it.
>>97219952Our Lord and Savior GPT is tolerable enough if you're looking for padding, but its creative ability is lacking, especially without a solid basis, and->>97219958pic rel if true
>>97219931SuriniGOD returns to grant us unholy kino...
>>97219958Kill yourself to pay for your crimes.
>>97219949Don’t care. The series is associated with the first book. “Omg you read all of game of thrones omg”. Blame the show. I bet YOU didn’t even READ the books. Kiddo.
>>97219966That makes no sense. What do you even do with the corpse? You now have one more corpse, what's the next step in your master plan?
>>97219936>Mirrorseeker makes the kind of CYOAs I would like to makejust take inspiration from his Necromancer cyoa and the Ocean of Salasjaíde, Perfumer Emperor had an interesting setting but the execution was boring, all the other are meh.>It's a lot better than typical isekai slopgo fuck yourself
>>97219949No one bothers to remember the names of the other books retarded fat man finish your fucking books
>>97219977Sex. It's always the final step of a good plan.
>>97219974NTA but the Game of Thrones show is based on a series of books. A Dance with Dragons is the last published book in the series.
>>97219974i did, just not all of them>>97219978
>>97219946That's too bad. I had some gripes with all his recent big projects, less so Judas than Metastatic, BONC, or the stage one. Too much AI involvement in the writing, too stats based without much punch, and too heavy on the mission end. He generates some of the best AI art styles; Metastatic especially avoided many of the pitfalls of using those programs, although it still had plenty of slop too. He's definitely unique among authors. Looking forward to the next release>>97219978Perfumer Emperor was my favorite, I think, but that is mostly because I was working on a perfume CYOA and it was delightful to see one already made>go fuck yourselfNO U
>>97219987> “um ackchually” You go and pretend people haven’t said shit like “i like read all of the game of thrones books haha”. The first book has practically defined the entire series.
>>97219949No one would recognize ADWD idiot
>>97219997That's only because of the show.Before it everyone just called it asoiaf.
Someone post Skeleton Gangrape. Also, does anybody remember who did Battlemage? I would like to save it but it annoys me to go through imgchest instead of our beautiful well-maintained archive (WHICH SHOULD BE SEARCHABLE, NOT THAT I BLAME ALLSYNCANON)
>>97219958I choose to ignore this. Prepare for my meltdown tomorrow.
>>97220011Yes most readers know this retard; most show watchers don’t
>>97220015Now say it again but without looking like the biggest redditor ever.
>>97220015SDA.
>>97220015>who did Battlemage?SDA
>>97220003nh uh, we are in the traditional games/fantasy board and you are telling me that that people would not know that A Dance with Dragons is one of the books of a song of ice and fire? come on
>>97220044We're playing TTRPGs, not reading books. Go back to /lit/.
>>97220022>>97220034Thank you kindly!>>97220021OK, here goes: Kill yourself faggot
>>97220048Now say it again but without looking like the biggest /v/ poster ever.
>>97220047we are also in a fantasy board, lurk more.>>97220048today you are a lot more mean than usual, not a good look

>>97220266How does Luminary compare
>>97220306
>>97220311>>97220308>How does Luminary compareI think luminary is a bit more powerfantasy like, still both are pretty great magical girl cyoas
>>97220202Gil.
>>97220314
>>97220308Luminary has few companionsThis has noneA good magical girl cyoa would be all about companions, like LO's.

>>97220344
>>97220336>>97220335nuh uh. She took the black coin so she owes the ebony mint a favor, you are still getting in the skirt

>>97220350The End.
>>97220358
>>97220325good cyoa>>97220266shit cyoa
What if the black coin is chocolate?
>>97220381
>>97220382>Black>Clearly gold in its spriteIt's definitely gelt. Oy vey.
>>97220382>pages upon pages of spergs going over every detail of DEEPEST LORE>the coin man is just a happy chocolate merchant
>>97220382Would you doom your future for a chocolate coin? I would.
>>97220392Everytime I see Tok make an image build I feel a sense of dread
Honestly, image builds are pretty cool.
>>97220419Not the ones tok makes, they are just softcore porn compilations.
>>97220202to kill EVERY SINGLE AUTHORCATTLE
Aro, i cant wait no more, post the WIPs you have and let me work on my build.
>>97220444That discordthot has yet to do anything, so there is nothing to post. I guess xhe could post their job applications.
>>97220431nta but at the least i liked his magocracy image build
>>97220470I have to admit, he hid the fetish shit better than usual in this one. You can still tell it's his at a glance, but it doesn't assault your eyes like the rest.
>>97220419eh
>>97220202immortality, otherwise I'm NOT playing
