Only moralGODS can post in this thread. LoliKEKS exit left

>>97297325yesterday
Why do people whine about lolis when one of the more popular/oldest authors, Italics, puts them into his CYOAs? And nobody says or whines about them then?
>>97297325>Catcuck>Playing cyoasLol no, he only whines and hate-watches others enjoying cyoas.
>>97297357It's okay when Italics does it
>>97297357Italics is based, you are cringe. Simple as.
>>97297329Typical entroon.
>>97297357Are you attempting normalfag diaalectics?In my general?Away with you
I just want a new Italics CYOA as he had some of the most comfiest CYOA worlds.
I just want a new italicsThen I'll have two
>>97297410But would they get twice the work done?
>>97297357It's just the popular thing to do now that normies invaded anime hood weebs are cancer.
>>97297415If they could share ideas and whatnot, likely 3 times the workWe should have more collaborations
>I want GOOD CYOAs!>I want EVIL CYOAs!>I want GOOD CYOAs!>I want EVIL CYOAS!Wash, rinse, repeat! This could go on forever, but I want something better, something substantial. What is the best NEUTRAL CYOA?
>>97297410I want two dozen. I'd have them fight each other to the death until only the strongest italics is left.
>>972974245 Terabytes AT LEAST.
CYOAs for this feel?
>>97297329>>97297378>starts crying about entropist out of nowheremindbroken
>>97297325CatNigger just shits here and does nothing else of any use.
>>97297434People sure love to play as a hermit who does nothing
>>97297448>starts crying about others crying about entropist out of nowheremindbroken^2
>>97297360>>97297451Harvesting seethe is a tough job, but someone's got to do it.
>>97297448>>97297458Damn, you are both such cool and macho menYou should serve in a war somewhere
>>97297446So, a miseryfag cyoa?By the time 2b was created, machines had long since won the real war, they kept androids alive only as a sort of training exercise to expand their bounds past their rules. Yorha winning was never an option.
>>97297426>>97297426Italics just needs to pump out OC already. Better yet, he should give us that supposed Psychic CYOA he is working on. It's not Echoes, but something new.
>>97297304AlexI could make out the first wordDon't need to read the rest
>>97297484The message of the game is about the inheritance of humanity and breaking the cycle of tragedy. The idea is that the Androids, the Machines, even the Pods, are all continuing the legacy of humanity and the ending is about the hope of the narrow road that doesn't lead to tragedy and our protagonists' deaths.Also the other reason the Machines keep the Androids around is because the Terminals are yandere for 9S and they want him to either kill them for good, or love them and fuck off from Earth with them. If they ever succeed at the later they'd leave the remaining Androids alone because they no longer have any reason to care. That said, this is a bad end for 9S and 2B.Also though if you play FFXIV the canon crossover apparently reveals the Terminals traveled back in time and dimension to become God/The Watchers from Drakengard, which is a much darker situation for everyone.
Would you guys be pissed if magic has no resistance?If someone casts [Spontaneous Combustion] you can't just resist it. If someone casts [Dominate Mind] you cannot resist it. It's just that effective. Why not? It's not like you can just flex off a bullet.
>>97297561I don't feel like it todayI think I will only be thinking and talking about cyoa'sSorry
>>97297484>Yorha winning was never an optionNot technically true. Night side Yorha was actually giving the machines a proper fight thanks to having access to dragons and magic.The main issue is night-side didn't have the numbers for counter-conquest because the machines and android/drgon pairs were killing each other as fast as they could be produced. The entire night-side battlefield may as well have been two recycling plants sat next to each other, the stagnant lack of progress on both sides was a different kind of grimdark where both the machines and the android were left wondering if they'd be locked in a perpetually unwinnable war forever.Theoretically, if the day-yorha's could get their heads out of their asses and started putting up a decent enough fight to start getting the night-machine's attention, the night yorha's would be strong enough to start pushing the weakened machine lines back.
>>97297570Nah I’m not him I’m just copy pasting
>>97297584You are dabbling in powers you do not understand.
>Italics CYOAs
>>97297575>>97297530>>97297484nier lore sounds like incomprehensible sloppeople actually like this stuff?
>>97297575NGL I have no idea what you're talking about? I know the Nier magic comes from the dragon who popped up in Tokyo, I don't recall other references to dragons. Although it's been a while so maybe I've forgotten.
>>97297625It's less about the themes, and more how the themes intersect with the women in thongs.
>>97297627>I know the Nier magic comes from the dragon who popped up in Tokyo,Yes, but it goes deeper. Drakenguard's magic and dragons actually come from a night-yorha city getting transported into Niers early timeline, which was exactly the same as normal earth's history up until the dragon filled city popped up out of nowhere.The entire near timeline is two timelines stuck in a loop and incestuously births even more offshoot timelines from their weird interactions with each other and other universes.
>>97297643So it's perfect for us gentlemen.
Any upcoming CYOAs you guys are excited about?
>>97297736Witch Awakening v4
>>97297736there is one guy who is making a scifi empirebuilder/waifupicker
>>97297736Heavenly Catgirl Paradise Cultivation.
>>97297736Echoes PSY.
>>97297806Hood.And just like that, I can say I posted a build today. Thanks, hood-or-pointy-hat-poster.
>>97297712Indeed. The lore accentuates the visuals.
>>97297736I'm anticipating Exalted Conquest. I've got full confidence it will release sooner or later, when we least expect it.
>>97297827>Shopping listEver the faggot you are
>>97297806imma say hood cause those are easier to find as regular clothing items and also i dont have to worry about the wind just making me lose it and need to buy another, i think the only time ive preffered the hat was when there were special uses for it like in witch awakening where you could use it as a portal gate and also make copies of it mid fight so you can do some wild things in the fight
>>97297736Lord of the Mysteries.Sometimes web novels are too convoluted, but experiencing the setting through a CYOA first sweetens it.
>>97297503I read all the text and yes, Alex the femboy is the best option. The yaandere is the worst.
>>97297806Hat. Anyone can wear a hood, but hats are solely the province of wizards and witches.
>>97297877I wear hats all the time. But rarely a hood
I remember reading a fantasy book about a local magocracy run by stereotypically old wizards. “No, females can’t be wizards. It’s just not possible—and it’s not allowed! No girls allowed!”. But since every wizard was essentially a kindly old grandfather with a favorite granddaughter or two, they had a habit of teaching them magic in their own spare time, regardless. “Women can’t be wizards, but my granddaughter is smarter and different!”. This led to arguments, or comparing their granddaughters, and this eventually let women become wizards.Witches are just filthy hedge mages, or hedge wizards. Bums and mad men who live in the woods. Too “stupid” to learn.
>>97297939I love the wizard vs witch dichotomyEspecially when they turn out to be the same
>>97297939>>97297570
>>97297956>he doesn’t like gender driven mage politicsYou’re no fun. No fun at all.
>>97297736conquest, an unspecified fantasy cyoa by rake and psychosoma>>97297827here have another one, I'm full of shitty ""cyoas""
>>97297971I already did a build today though. I don't need to make another. I'm already a good contributing poster.
>>97297795I'm glad you are looking forward to Echoes PSY. But it's going to be a tad delayed as I want to put out the ESP Project CYOA I've been working on for a bit. I think you'll enjoy it as well since it and Echoes share similar themes of urban science-fiction, but ESP is more about adventures in a open society of Psychics v. Echoes thwarting an alien invasion with Psychics. ESP will also have a higher power-scaling and sub-system than Echoes PSY.
Remember when the wizard cyoa was made by that bloodborne guy and everyone lost their shit? I remember
>>97297624giw italics was a gay furry instead
>>97298012Strange Rains???
>>97298027Alright I'll ask. Why do you wish this?
>>97297939i kinda liked how it was done in jrpg traitor, where witchcraft allowed the creation of rather wild magical effects that normal alchemy simply could not replicate or even reach the strength of often cause the witchcraft contained the haertfelt wishes of the witch in question, but in the end witchcraft fell by the wayside in favor of more replicable and mass produceable alchemical products, just like how spirit worship and whatnot also fell by the wayside leading to a sharp drop in summoners and people capable of world walking and whatnot, sure this progress did lead to interesting creations like universally learnable magic or ammunition casting when firearms became a thing, but eh, still sad to see the old ways die out for a new regime that did eventually grow stagnant as it started banning lines of research that were inconvenient to those in power like golemancy (the art of infusing life into inanimate materials) and envoys (magic spells infused with life and sentience that eventually can reach true sapience with a good enough caster but calls to question the nature of the soul)
>>97298012Planeswalker Rising? yeah I remember, it effectively multiverseslop for a while until entropist revived it back.
>>97298000>But it's going to be a tad delayedMeh. I've been waiting for half a decade, so yet another delay doesn't matter.
>>97298042it insists upon itself

>>97298110it reads like metashit
>>97298060>I've been waiting for half a decadeYou mean almost a decade. IIRC Echoes PSY was announced sometime after original Echoes back in 2018-ish. So 8 years between first announcement and other CYOAs being released. A lot of Echoes PSY is rewriting material because grammar or its outdated/mechanics for the CYOA been updated or consolidating choices. >>97298062What?>>97298069Magi Case writing is me dragging my feet. Last portions of writing are Companions (redoing existing profiles/adding new characters and familiars), magic system, impact events, and quests. Because they are so long. On the bright side there are over 30 magical items in one sub-section of the equipment section and Holy Relics have their own/finished.
>>97298115>they are all male angelswhat now?>>97298118what are you even talking about?
>>97298129>You mean almost a decade.It's a good thing I lost count, to be honest. I'm pretty sure that actively waiting for some Italics' OC is a sure way to end up bitter, depressed, manic, or a combo of all three. It will comes out when it does. Things like "It's almost ready" or "Just a few sections left" are irrelevant. It's either released or not.

>>972979711 dragon, 4 angels, 5 storm titansone of the angels picks me up and puts me far above the battlefield while another buffs me with the usual stuff (protection from evil, death ward, protection from arrows, greater heroism, etc.) making the attacks of a lot of these guys ineffective.the other 3 angels, dragon, and storm titan just go to town on those that remain. storm titans and dragon can just nuke everyone below with impunity while either never touching the ground or just ganking with ranged attacks
>>97298193>Recommend me something good to read instead.engineering, magic, and kitsuneits kinoge
>>97298148>t. I'm pretty sure that actively waiting for some Italics' OCShouldn't that be "your OC Italics"?>Just a few sections left" are irrelevant. In my defense these are some long-ass sections. Especially the companion sections because that is where the juice of your interactions and getting a story about what is going on is going to come from. Interacting with other major and minor characters to choose your adventure
>>97297971i have four questionsdo the peeps come with equipment and possibly stuff that would make sense for them to owncan i get an amount of time to setup fortifications and defences before everyone shows up, maybe a few years time to prepare and whatnot dependscan i take more than one instance of the same optionwhat level is the adventuring party at would you say, i dont know if that image is supposed to be a specific one or not so idk what to expect from them
>>97298173some people like having lots of kids with each pregnancy, heck knowing some of the gooners here theyd probably see it as just getting more waifu's for the harem faster but eh

>>97298221Realistically it would be a nightmare. Parents of multiple births have to get help from family just to survive. Economically, emotionally and time wise.>>97298231Hope you are right.
>>97298209>Shouldn't that be "your OC Italics"?M'yes.>In my defense-It will change nothing to my indifference or your work schedule, so these are meaningless. Nothing needs to change either.
What were some of the other italics pieces we had lined up after Magi 2.0?
>>97298254>Dawn (Aspect of the Hotwife)
>>97298260>Dawn (Aspect of the Cuckqueen)Btw, I was out of the paladin discussion and just saw the author calling moth to someone that wanted to fuck the goddess. Is it possible?
>>97298046Golemancy and Envoys were banned because the church was afraid people would realize that their gods were the product of the highest advancements of these fields.
>>97298275Dawn herself is Light Indomitable (simplified for mortal perception) so technically you could. Otherwise, Big Lämp is too abstract for that action I think.
>>97298279exactly, they felt threatened by what could be done with this knowledge and research and so banned it, leading as well to a rather stagnant world that started using the overlord and hero systems, originally intended to deal with world/civilization ending threats, to instead deal with anyone that went against them or their ideals or what have you, even if that happens to be one of the very people who built the damn thing to begin with
>>97298320So Dawn would be Down to it? It's very different it being technically possible if Dawn has a physical body and she wanting it
>>97298327Someone said it better than me in an earlier thread, but Dawn's chosen aspects seems to be centered around archetypal feminine love, so a romance wouldn't be out of the question.Prepare for courtship though.
>>97298248unless they have money and can hire caretakers and whatnot, iirc most royal or noble children werent raised by their parents but by maids and midwives and whatnot, especially if they werent a firstborn son, im not saying thats right im just saying it can and has happened in the past, and these are the sorts of people who really dont give a damn about anything but being the strongest being in existence and having a mega harem, despite these people probably struggling to handle 1 woman let alone 3 or even 11 or however many would constitute a regular harem let alone a mega harem
>>97298340Good enough. Every moth wants to be inside the light, courship is not stopping me.

>>97298415Unironically even the blurry thumbnails on page 12 look better than other companion pages, maybe with golden dragon being exception. Maybe finish it after all?My problem with the companions here is that they all seem OP/cooler than the protagonist, cool, you can hit stuff with sword real hard, have literal ancient dragon, miracle throwing high priestess, avatar of god or archmage next to you. Why would these people not just instantly overshadow you, never mind actually listening to/follow you? Maybe if you pick jobbers like inventor or spy they would have reason to, but hell, even the swordgirl knows all the stances and magic when you start with 1 stance and no magic unless you buy specific artifact. Wooo.I'd also like a section about PC. Why were we picked? Is it 'us' or some sort of reincarnation with different body? We're part of church but what exactly does it do besides vague goodness? Can we count on some support from said church? Do people we meet even know what paladins are/what do they expect from us/or hell, do followers of this light religion feel they should help us as literal divine agent or do they think we should be helping them?Etc, etc, kind of hard to make plan when you have no idea what to expect in life outside of 'go kill a planet full of murderous powerful evildoers, good luck' quests, or hell, how strong we are in relation to one of the boss liches, mafia bosses, or dragons we need to face...
>>97298503Probably should've asked this earlier, but how strong would my >>97293463 'reality warping' miracle actually make me?
>>97298503Also, I have a question about Dawn. How much do the aspects overlap? Say, Sister gives you advice how to get stronger. Does that also include advice how to stay motivated or is it forbidden because Daughter does it?Aspect of the Wife also seems kind of lame compared to the other 3, quest board vs powerful support forces. And what happens if we ask the other 3 aspects about nearby injustices? Do we get no or bad info? You'd think good being would care to right them regardless of aspect, or can she only 'sense' problems in that one aspect? And how her super skimpy clothing interacts with the religious rules? Oaths suggest monotheist prude nonsense is still in even if weaker?
>>97298210>i have four questionsNo answer for those questions. You just get to chose based on what is in the picture, and hope the uncertainties don't screw you over too badly.
>>97298443never ever
>>97298659Wife is very good for Watchers.
>>97298719The same thing was said about the Magi Case, but it released. One project at a time, slow and steady is how you win the race.
>>97298740How long did it take again?
>>97298571>My problem with the companions here is that they all seem OP/cooler than the protagonistSome of them do things you simply have no equivalent to (and vice versa), so I dont really think thats true (but I might be biased). Theres a lot of powers in there to pick from, and a lot of them are pretty damn strong. Likewise with the equipment. You can make some absolute nonsense in the cyoa. >even the swordgirl knows all the stances and magic when you start with 1 stance and no magic unless you buy specific artifact. Wooo.But you can buy more stances anon, you arent limited to 1. She also has no holy powers, while you do. >never mind actually listening to/follow you?They're your companions, not your subordinates. If they're following you its going to be for your character, not because theyre afraid you can beat them up if they don't listen to you. >I'd also like a section about PC. Why were we picked?Surely that is something players should decide for themselves. The cyoa cant say "for your incredible moral character and strong convictions, you were made a Paladin" because some anons might not be like that. Maybe you were picked for the reason some anons joked about a couple of threads ago, this is in essence an attempt to "fix you" as much as anything else, trying to rehabilitate someone who might not otherwise be very good by giving them a chance to be a hero. But once again, I dont think I should be telling the player that thats what they are. >Is it 'us' or some sort of reincarnation with different body?Once again, surely thats better left to anons interpretation? Someone might want to imagine that they died, someone might want to imagine they were simply picked while alive. Someone might want to imagine theyre "themselves(irl)" while others might imagine theyre "themselves(fictional)". These things arent very mechanically meaningful, very personal, and have a lot of variance and possibilities.
>>97298751>If they're following you its going to be for your characterI was about to jokingly whine about how annoying this is (because I can't be an asshole and still have powers, Luminary style) or argue that you JUST ASSUME MY [morality] but then I realize it wasn't the right CYOA for that kind of bad faith argument.
>>97298744>How long did it take again?If we are not including rewrites/restarts, delays from releasing other content, then a few months (2 months or so) from text to CYOA image.If we include the project being something else originally, restarting it/morphing into the Magi Case, Magi Case being restarted due to not liking the original direction, being restarted again because the CYOA was too conclusive, and slotting in other CYOAs then the CYOA took around 8 years to see release.
>>97298751do you lose stances if you fall?
>>97298571>We're part of churchAre you? >Can we count on some support from said church?I mean if you're part of one, then presumably. Thats how organisations work. >Do people we meet even know what paladins areSeveral of your companions are from various in-universe paladin orders and organisations (or tied to paladins of that sort), so I would assume so, yes. Paladins, or the general concept of them, are a known quantity.>what do they expect from usThat would probably change from person to person, but "to be a hero" I guess. >do followers of this light religion feel they should help us as literal divine agent or do they think we should be helping them?I assume that would depend on the actual religion (since, as stated, it's known by many different names and aspects to many different cultures, it's not "one religion" as much as many different religions all based on the same greater truth) and the individual practitioner. I don't imagine any two Christians would respond exactly the same to an angel (for example).>kind of hard to make plan when you have no idea what to expect in life outside of 'go kill a planet full of murderous, powerful evildoers, good luck' questsI can totally understand that and why it might be annoying/take someone out. But I also didn't want to be too specific (both for brevity's sake, it's already a rather long cyoa, imagine if I had to write out a detailed world for every quest and setting) and because I wanted the quests to be "imagination jumping off points" rather than more specific "mechanical challenges". It's why I avoided going into too specific a powerlevel with the villains, if you know "exactly" how strong The Last is, all of his spells, abilities, and stats, then it's basically just a case of comparing your build to a checklist or doing the numbers to see who wins. And I figured you want some ambiguity and leeway one way or the other.
>>97297971okay since im not gonna get answers to my questions, ill have to go with the kobolds, the worms, and the storm giants, the storm giants can kill the dragon with some help hopefully and the rest i can maybe handle by using the worms to make a maze and start playing tuckers kobolds, and worse comes to worse i can just sex the kobolds for a while and just accept my eventual end, 500 kobolds theres probably going to be some females in there especially as they dont discriminate genders for jobs givenoriginally i was hoping to just get lots of kobolds and make a mega fortress using the setup time and maybe get to breed even more kobolds for the army cause kobolds can mature incredibly quickly, i was also thinking of maybe using the adventurers to deal with the dragon angels and giants cause theyd hopefully be elites and we can aid them using kobold tunnels but i wasnt sure about banking on that, although thankfully if they get understandable equipment the adventuring party and the kobolds would have alot of magical items theyd be more than willing to use to make the fortress even more impenetrable, only issue being the worms but there are ways to deal with them especially if i can maybe catch a wild one and spread its juices in places so theyd never go anywhere near the fortress cause thats a thing they do is avoid places covered in worm juices, kinda, it has to be a specific one but stillthinking about it i guess i could get the dragon and i could sex them up, whether human shaped or not, but eh, i prefer kobolds usually and the dragon might not be up for it
>>97298796>the CYOA took around 8 years to see releaseit's over
>>97297624Holy Kekaroo, I laughed so hard I saw the DMT realm for a few seconds
Lol, lmao even.
>>97298734And for wifely duties.
>>97298605Probably on a comparable level to some high-tier angelic being, some kind of "reverse Archon" (if Archons are the fun police charged with keeping the universe stable and preventing reality manipulation). The sorts of celestial sculptors you might imagine to have shaped the universe once it was created back in the day, so less "I snap my fingers and 2+2=5" and more "I can manipulate reality as normal people can clay">>97298659>How much do the aspects overlap?Moderately. Its primarily about focus. >Does that also include advice how to stay motivated or is it forbidden because Daughter does it?Its not forbidden, Aspect of the Sister Dawn is just going to focus more on helping you develop skills "rationally", while Aspect of the Daughter Dawn is more about motivating you on the emotional level. Sister Dawn can still appeal to your emotions, and Daughter Dawn can still try to give you advice on how to swing your blade, but the focus is on other stuff. >Oaths suggest monotheist prude nonsense is still inYou, as a Paladin, are not necessarily tied to any in-universe religion, its a big multiverse and there's a lot of them anyway. You happened to luck into(?) making a connection with the Light itself, as opposed to some lesser facet of it (like the Silver Queen for Ashton). So it's probably not accurate to say that the oaths you swear are tied to any specific religion/necessarily reflect any particular religion's beliefs or attitudes. The temperance oath is less there because food or drink or sex is bad, outside of going too far with your indulgences its clearly not something that the Light is very concerned with, but as a sort of sign of ascetic dedication. You are swearing to forego any distractions from your duty, not necessarily because those distractions are evil or immoral, but because theyre less important to you than your dedication to doing good/being a Paladin.
>>97298858It took 2 months.

>>972989302 months from the last revision. But from its first draft and pitching in the thread, 8 years.It's probably why anons are so dismissive.
>>97298899>why do you have a spine >how can you co mingle with assholes>omg they’re racist and sexist >it’s weird how you can interact with weird people lol
>>97298415
>>97298415>he's still posting paladincuckoldryworst cyoa of the year
>>97298899>rake plays dumb because he knows we're watchinglame
>>97298945But there was a lot of new CYOA content that was released and took up time. So it's not like first draft to release was nothing in-between.
>>97298962i wish i could vomit sparkly stuff>worst cyoa of the yeartoo soon to tell, tok or some other shitty author might release oc this year
>>97298987>rakeschizo seethingStay mad about Vermillion
>>97298659>Aspect of the Wife also seems kind of lame compared to the other 3Really? It seemed like the strongest one to me. >Do we get no or bad info?They would help you as best as they can, but they would be less capable of helping you than Dawn in her proper aspect for the task. Similarly, Dawn, in the Aspect of the Wife can still tell you she thinks what you're about to do is morally questionable, or "ganbatte ne!" or whatever, but she would simply not be as good at those things as the proper aspects for them. >or can she only 'sense' problems in that one aspect?Thats probably more accurate. Dawn becomes what you felt she needed to be to help you, and that thing was "a person who can assist you in your actual duties", so she (Dawn, not the Light) now possesses that ability, its not that dawn is literally the same being and just chooses a job she does at the expense of others, her nature/capabilities is in part defined by her "job".>>97298805Well, you don't get mind wiped when you fall (except maybe some esoteric secret of the universe you were privy to thanks to divine connection), so you would still possess a "rational understanding" of the techniques, but the muscle memory? the actual physical "skill" aspect of it? That would probably be gone. You would still understand the styles on an intellectual level as much as you did before, but it would be like going from someone with actual experience to someone who read a lot of books on how to do a thing.
>>97298933>Rake is based? Always has been, honestly. He is just a guy that likes cyoas and did some of them that are high quality. Doesn't have any drama and has a schizo he ignores. More of us should be like him
>>97298899i found a comment of a guy who got filtered by the first page of CC
>>97297736Whatever Hus is working on.
Do casuals and redditors actually get intimidated by us? Do they observe our discussions with looks of horror on their faces? Isn’t that kind of pathetic?
>>97299042>Gigachud_IncelordFrom time to time you can find comments of that guy in imgchest. He is destilled 99.1% pure hate. He also is the one that comments the most.He gives catfag vibes, but if catfag had an evil incel cousin
>>97298995It's like your mom promising you a candy bar tonight then giving you one mint-flavored candy each night for two weeks. You don't care for the candies and the stopgag quickly stop working. You might even come to resent the perfectly fine candy, because you were promised the chocolate bar and its existence delay the moment where you eat your freaking chocolate bar.
>>97299054to be fair the quality of our discussions is fluctuates a LOT>>97299056my beloved
>>97299054Yes. They (and general public) for some reason think all of 4chan is /pol/ and /r9k/, the retard boards. So they ignore there are boards where people talk about cartoons (even if its all coom most of the time), toys, anime/manga, video games, traditional games, etc and people are mostly mundane but with the ability to say stuff uncuffed because of anonymity/no one to delete it (unless it crosses a line).
>>97297357Zoomers hate pedos.The crusade of mankind against darkness gains strength with each passing day, and will completely transform the galaxy when we ascend to the stars.Young lost men are desperate for a palpable just cause they can be proud to fight for, their transformation into strong-willed humans will be swift when the reclamation begins in full force.
>>97299056cyoa for rape, slaughter and pure raw hatred?
>>97299070But everyone ate good for over a month when the chocolate bar was given, though.
>>97299082
>>97299084Rakeschizo's CYOA? I have it, but I don't even want to post it...
>>97299089
>>97299077To be fair, I think it’s just one or two posters here who are responsible for this reputation. You know of who I speak.
>>97299096
>>97298923> Probably on a comparable level to some high-tier angelic being, some kind of "reverse Archon" (if Archons are the fun police charged with keeping the universe stable and preventing reality manipulation). The sorts of celestial sculptors you might imagine to have shaped the universe once it was created back in the day, so less "I snap my fingers and 2+2=5" and more "I can manipulate reality as normal people can clay"Basically what I expected, ty.
>>97297304Nice thumbnail.
>>97299104
>>97299060>He gives catfag vibes, but if catfag had an evil incel cousinironic that you say that
>>97299087Of course, but the fact remains that Mom (a known figure who you put your trust into) promised you the ever elusive chocolate bar. It's not about starvation or gluttony - it's about the trust. The betrayal. You probably voiced your concerns at some point - yet she keep giving you the candy you don't want. This is a very fun metaphor, I realize.
>>97299074>>97299098To be fair you’re both faggots
>>97299111
>>97299117>she's still going
>>97299054To be fair, if they ever get curious enough to visit, chances are they will stumble across the usual schizo discussions among shitposters and will lose all motivation in coming back again.
>>97299121
People who think 4chan is intimidating ARE pathetic. Imagine thinking 4chan is anything but a bunch of retards.
>>97299113Lmao, didn't see that. He is truly his evil cousin trying to kill him
>>97299133I think it's like people who are queasy about things like rape, blood, or gore on-screen. They don't see the point in seeing movies with those; like they don't want to enter a site that normalize those things.
>>97299124Hopefully they ever stumbled on our political tantrums.
>>97299144Matterjeeta would be a good gatekeeper of redditors. The heroine we need.
>>972991334chan is intimidating to normalfags until they gather up enough courage to at least lurk for a few hours.
>>97299158>heroinesay that again...
>>97299158I'm convinced that Rakeschizo is Matterjeeta. I wasn't convinced before, but seeing it now, I'm starting to believe.
>>97299165The heroine we need.
>>97299168Matter... Matterheroine...
>>97299165The wife I deserve.
>>97299165The heroin we need.
>>97299114Echoes and Apocrypha came out after Magi Case was announced, but people wanted those. Are you saying people didn't want Echoes.
>>97299117nh uh>>97299164maybe a few years ago i doubt 4chan is still that "intimidating" to a normal person, then again a lot of redittors are not really normalbtw is it just me or the captcha expires a lot more quickly since they changed how it works?
>>97299167They are… if I had to guess…- rake obsessed poster - cat obsessed poster - elden ring obsessed poster - gil/tok/aro/etc obsessed poster - physics/history/magic obsessed poster- danmachi obsessed poster- israel/palestine obsessed poster
>>97299220A fucking hydra. God I want to slay it.
You are obsessed.
>>97299265It's funny how every once in a while when we call out Matterjeeta/Rakeschizo, you show up with >poopdickschizo posting. I'm 100% convinced it's you. You're the jeet. You're the schizo. You're the obsessed retard.
>>97299265 Hi Jeeta :D
>>97297806Pointy hood, of course.
>>97299167>>97299220>>97299275Rake schizo is probably a completely different schizo. .
>>97299291I’d bet fifty dollars on it.
>>97299208>btw is it just me or the captcha expires a lot more quickly since they changed how it works?I just tested it and it gave me 2 minutes before it expired.If it expires faster for you then the website probably thinks you are new user due to a lack of cookie data.
Damn, I thought paladin cyoa would be popular on reddit, but it is largely ignored.
I will never forgive the retarded KKK for ruining the cone hat aesthetic and using ‘wizard’ as a legitimate title. Fuck them. They’re too stupid to be wizards.
>>97299318even reddit hates itkill all paladincucks
>>97299318It’s the atheist website you fucking retard They worship the science just like the jeet
>>97299318>people don't like the overly strict drawbacks you need to take in order to have a decent build with a respectable amount of pointswho would've thunk it?
What is the general feeling around a power system that is an established set?To further elaborate. You get offered a bunch of powers, but you only ultimately take one and stick with it for the rest of the CYOA. The power of course comes with its own unique rulesets and abilities/theme/focus that none of the other powers infringe on.In this system is it best to additionally include example techniques you can use/start out with? To get a general idea of how the power works and what you can do with it if its something like electricity manipulation and being able to ride the electrical arcs.
>>97299318Great mistake, don't ever say from /tg/. Entropist was also largely ignored.
>>97299321They also used dragon, cyclops, ghoul, titan... Basically, anything a D&D nerd might think of.
>>97299347>I am a hydra and I have great cool nipples!!
>>97299347Jesus Christ they are literally retarded neckbeards. No wonder no one can take them seriously. No wonder they’re frequently portrayed as cartoon villains in the live action movies.
>>97299362Right wingers are all neckbeards. Why do you think they see/envision Trump as their glorious god-emperor. It’s so awful.
>>97299379When trump got covid and someone drew an edit of him in the hospital throne I had a hearty kek
>>97299331Angel CYOA is more religious, yet it got way more attention...
>>97299387I love how Covid got memory holed so fast. It was so cringe, so stupid, that no one wants to remember it. No one wants to admit they broke friendships and connections over the dumbest shit.
>>97299321>>97299347>and using ‘wizard’ as a legitimate title>they also used dragon, cyclops, ghoul, titanthey WHAT?!?
>>97299403They are legit retarded anon. They are the silliest racists. They have pie cook offs and fancy underwear contests. Can’t take them seriously.!
>>97299394will paladincucks ever recover?
>>97299394>>97299432It came up here a lot of times too, it was called a better paladin cyoa many times as well.

The world will feel so empty when he’s gone
>>97299467tok? i don't know if a agree with you anon...
>>97299499
paladin anon tried so hard and got so farbut in the end it doesn't even matter...he made oc drenched in cat pee...in the end.. it doesn't even matter......
>>97299462Where are you getting this art cohesion index from?
>>97299462This just encourages the worst future, where every image in a CYOA has the same style due to being made with AI.Some difference in art styles is expected and okay. What's more important is that the art is GOOD and matches well with the content.
>>97299512catfag! catfag! we found your evil cousin >>97299113
>>97299531CYOA art should be good and cohesive, desu. If you have something about adventuring around town as kid but one of the portraits has a character look like a bimbo chosen by Tok, you need to be smacked.
>>97299512>he made oc drenched in cat peewouldn't that imply that you helped him?or did he secretly steal your pee?
>>97299520My hard drive.
>>97299560I mean, "good" and "looking like a bimbo chosen by Tok" are already mutually exclusive on their own...I definitely handicapped my ability to have style cohesion a little bit with my WIP. I put a restriction on myself where almost every single image (except for a few select sections, like companions) must contain a fairy and/or a mini person somewhere. So I can't just have any old image of someone with a sack of gold, it has to be an image of specifically a fairy with a sack of gold, severely limiting my options. At least all the images are some kind of anime style...?I want bonus points for thematic cohesion separate from style cohesion :(
>>97298415What oaths can I take while still feeling like a Diablo protagonist that kills entire groups of enemies before they can even react?
>>97299665Chivalrous:>I will not strike the unarmedYou're swearing to kill enemies, not just everyone on the wrong side. Executing logisticians and janitors is hardly a power fantasy.>I will not be indolentIt's just a commandment to stay a powerful warrior. If you don't do that, you're going to die.>I will not show weaknessYou're promising to not use people as meat shields. If you're a one man army, you're too strong to need that decision.Noble:>I will be a beaconBasically; be virtuous, and make it look cool. You're doing that by being Fantasy Superman.None of the others in this category are a problem for combat efficacy, aside from "I will keep my word" in some situations (easily solved by being the mysterious silent warrior), but they're easy to find unfun.Just>I will show mercyThis is pretty subjective depending on what you want, but terrifying evildoers into submission is plenty fun.>I will not meddleDon't commit treason except against objectively evil fantasy villains.>I will act in proportionDo not kill petty criminals, only credible threats to innocent lives, and kill them efficiently.
>>97299379Extremely delusional post.
you keep repeating the same boring thing
>>97298415You don't need to post this CRAP every thread.
>>97299858I'd rape Lisa.
>>97299871Rape is wrong.That's what the vows in the paladin cyoa should've been about instead of limiting the player's ability to efficiently fight evil.
>>97299888>t. Anton LaVeyLiterally the first thing you Vow.
>>97299858the girls in this cyoa are all boring
>>97299904>t. Anton LaVeyuh yeah I don't speak spanish broI have no idea what that means
>>97299858Claire is a woman that understands the WONDER of the modern world, unlike you losers.
>>97299920checked his name apparently he was a writer musician and the founder of the church of satan, all his books seem to be about satan.he is basically calling you a satanist, anon.to me he looks like a goofball
What is a decent number of powers? It should be noted that the powers are quite lengthy and descriptive with a few paragraphs for them to include as much details as possible for them.
>>97299920>>97299988He made up his own modernized set of commandments with a really wacky rule about consent in the list. Most of the others are basically "don't be annoying and fuck over anybody you find annoying", and supposedly this makes him an individualist for encouraging the worldwide punishment of individuality.>Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.>Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.>When in another's home, show them respect or else do not go there.>If a guest in your home annoys you, treat them cruelly and without mercy.>Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.>Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and they cry out to be relieved.>Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.>Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.>Do not harm little children.>Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.>When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.If "love thy neighbor as thyself" is the summary of conventional religious morality, I think this one can be distilled into "total autist death". It's toxic femininity galore.
>>97299988he'd look like a classic dork wizard if he didn't grow those tiny little horns
>>97300006we don't even now the context of the cyoa... assuming that as you said the description would be longer than 'average' i would say around 14 at the least... i suppose>>97300006>Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal>the mating signalwhat the hell is the mating signal?!?
>>97300037>what the hell is the mating signal?!?Woman talking to you.
Looking to create a fresh CYOA or rehash an old one. What would you prefer?>Sci-Fi Explorer>Cyberpunk>Sky Pirates>Magic / Mage...something else let me know.I'll take votes until the end of the thread and work on whatever wins.
>>97300112Sci-Fi Explorer or Cyberpunk. It's been a while since we had something modern or futuristic.
>>97300114For sci-fi explorer do people want something with sapient aliens or nah. I could see it be split either way.
>>97300126Sure why not. What's the point of space without xenos?
>>97300112Sci-fi Explorer!!!I love me some ancient ruins of unknown space civilizations.
>>97300112Sci-Fi! I'm in it for the planetoids.
>>97300037>we don't even now the context of the cyoa...You go around getting into trouble with antagonist and allies with similar powerlevel to you.Why do you need specific info about the CYOA context?>assuming that as you said the description would be longer than 'average' i would say around 14 at the least... i supposeThat's quite a lot, but I currently got 8. So another 6 more to add-on.
>>97300126>Do you want a world that's closer to Mass Effect (has aliens) or a world closer to Starfield (doesn't have aliens)Mass Effect. Starfield made it clear that a galaxy devoid of intelligent life is painfully boring.
>>97300175I've been looking for this fucking gif forever thanks bro.>>97300112I'll stop the voting now. I have a clear answer already. (plus I don't want to wait till the end of the thread)
>>97300175Starfield was a painfully boring game and had nothing to do with no aliens being involved. Gundam has ALL humans and its not painfully boring.
>>97300229well too be fair Gundam has crazy over the top mechs to compensate for a lack of ayys
In a setting where beastmen serve humans does it make sense for there to be a caste system based on how human a beastmen looks?From basically humans with animal ears or a tail at the top then pic related in the middle and others that look like werewolf equivalents at the bottom.
>>97300272Yeah sure
>>97300272>t. failed novelist
>>97300272YesAlthough you really don't need to justify settings like thatUnless you somehow rely on it being natural, it won't be too important
>>97300341>it won't be too importantjust like anon without his cyoa powers
>>97300341>Unless you somehow rely on it being natural, it won't be too importantI dunno my autism requires me to detail how these kinds of things work even if they are not that important.>>97300315Thank you anon, I wouldn't call myself even a wannabe novelist I only write CYOAs.
>>97300272the werewolf equivalents would just rip and tear their oppressors to shreds lol
>>97300357lmao they get domesticated by vamps
>>97300358I don't see howjust simply eat the vampiresI doubt they could regenerate after getting turned into poop
>>97300358Never ask a proud werewolf the race of his wife.
>>97300357No doubt that there is discontent but this caste system is enforced mostly by the beastmen themselves it's a kind of sociological tool to keep them at odds with each other, beastmen are roughly equally strong regardless of caste.And while indeed beastmen are physically superior to the vast majority of humans the ones they actually serve are basically ubermensch with magical powers beastmen are kind of like middle managers between the human masses and the human godkings.
>>97300272Reminds me of this CYOA.If there was kemonomimi in this setting, then they'd definitely get treated better than the disposable furry trash humans spit on.
>>97300393
>>97300397
>>97300272Just make Kemonomimi the race for ears/tails, and then make Juujin the race for actual furries including your pic related. Juujin is the japanese word for what you're looking for. Go full weeb and embrace the cringe.
>>97298204>furrybait weebslop lol
>>97300370Vamps have magic powers, Werewolves are just furry raging retards.
>>97300377Huh... weird system, where you have the humans at the bottom, then the inhuman looking beasties above them and the human like ones above them and then god kings/queens at the top.Having a god king pretty much means an absolutist system you don't really need a set cast system. The god king may just rank their servants according to their whims. Even if they are arbitrary. Sure the more human ones are probably better at interacting with the human masses. But that doesn't directly translate to court ranks. Maybe some local god king has a particular interest in werewolf women.I guess you could make it work if you made the inhuman beastmen the wild free beastmen not subservient to the god kings rendering them even bellow humans in the caste system, while the more human ones are the domesticated beastmen subservient to the god kings.
>>97299318Every good cyoa is popular here and ignored on reddit.
>>97300607It's unpopular here and ignored on reddit, so who's your audience?
>>97300272It depends on whether it's a male or female dominated society. Men would have anime tomboy wolfgirls at the top. Women would have giga rape wolves instead.
>>97300375is it like how you dont ask a proud nord the race of their wife cause it turns out to be an argonian despite that same nords racist rantings and support of an independant skyrim
>>97300370pretty sure ive seen that happen before, where an immortal was eaten and then regenerated, it was weird, but ehalso yes in like most series the werewolves are below the vampires in the caste systems of monsters, usually kept as pets or guard dogs or smth, this harkens back to how the original dracula himself could control wildlife like wolves and whatnot, i think its only stuff like underworld and twilight that has the werewolves fighting on equal footing against the vamps, in underworld they used to be enslaved to the vampires or just outright unintelligent and unusable, and in twilight the original werewolves get hunted to extinction and what we get left with are native american shapeshifters that have nowhere near the man power necessary to be a threat to the vamps
>>97300757I don't see how having an Argonion wife means you can't want an independent Skyrim
>>97300357the vamps can do the same to the werewolves and often enough actually have intelligence to work with unlike the werewolves, only exception being vampire the masquerade cause werewolves are like nature demi-gods or smth and their claws actively prevent regeneration but thats like unique to vtm
the Stormcloaks are going to capture the president of the Redguards and deport him back to Oblivion
>>97300775correction just remembered vampire the masquerade, although in that one the werewolves are kinda nature demi-gods, and as such absolutely body vampires that they meet cause claws that prevent regeneration
>>97300782its less cause of the independant skyrim and more cause of the racist rantings about stuff like kicking all the races out of skyrim except the nords and all that and yet they still have an argonian wife so it makes them a hypocrite or just really abusive to their own family
>>97300789>deport him back to OblivionAlso a nice way to say "KILL HIM DEAD".
>>97300664>Men would have anime tomboy wolfgirls at the top. Women would have giga rape wolves instead.I think it should be the more bestial the romance option the more waifus/husbandos you can get due to them being far less valuable so both genders can get access to options they want
>>97300789They dont have the balls to fuck with the strongest race with mastery over swordsinging on top.
>>97300829they apparently have the balls to fuck with the race that just won a war for dominance over the continent so theres that
>>97300829oh and i should add pretty sure the redguard were on the empire side for that war, and the elves still won, although granted, idk if any sword masters actually participated, those guys tend to not give a shit about wars or anything, or of their people being kicked out of whatever area, they just do whatever being essentially background noise to the setting alot of the time unless theres like a world ending threat or smth
>>97300829quiet hyena piggy, your fanfiction doesn't count
>>97300868>Redguards are stronger than nordslol, lmao even
CYOA for this feel?
>>97300880Danmachi
>>97300880Lord of The Rings CYOA
>>97300873apparently the nords are the strongest man race besides the redguard, so strong but technically not the strongest, their main factors is the cold resist and smithing and whatnot and also the thuum that some of them get to learn, granted an avid user of thuum can be scary as fuck, but if we want to find the real strongest race youre just going to make the scalies really happy, cause theres only one race that not only managed to counter invade the dark elves that were enslaving them, but even counter invade oblivion itself, and it wasnt a race of man or mer that did that one
>>97300901An argonian will never out-lift a nord.
>>97300880Animus
>>97300901Argonians are just the pets of the hist. They shouldn't be considered people.
>>97300880Technically OR, its statistically likely that you won't be able to save all of your companions, mentors or parents from their death slots, that you yourself have subjected them to.
>>97300904they do it every day with their tungsten fucking balls that they beat the daedra over the head withoh i should also mention that a nord also lost handily to a breton, same breton knight took on three fighters, a nordic warrior, a rogueish type, and an elven spellsword at once and in the end they still couldnt beat him after teaming up and had to drop a building on himsometimes i wish i could just eugenically breed together the argonians and the bretons and make some kind of super race kek
>>97298443dude, don't you think that's a bit too many wips? you seem rather disorganized if you have that many open projects
>>97300908does the daedra being the slaves and pets of the daedric princes make them mog on the men and mer races any less hard, no, then neither does the argonians being the children of the hist make them mog on the daedra and everyone else any less hard either kek
>>97300921Italics is perfect and beautiful and I love himEach and every one of those is presumabley worth readingFuck you
>>97298443Which of those can we expect in the next 4 years and which one do the girls in the pic show up in?
>>97300926can we even look at any of those since theyre still in development or can we not if all we have to go on is old posts in 4chan showcasing ideas and bits and pieces scattered around then theres not much worth to them now is there, not until they get finished and actually become readable for usif theres somewhere where we can actually look at all these wip's then ill shut up and admit my wrongs but if there isnt then, well yeah, not much worth to them without that

>>97297304Dear anon who runs the rentryOften people have made gripes with the name of this general, in that many cyoa's often do not have adventures in themI would like to submit a gripe with said gripesWere this general to be renamed, "Choice games" or "Would your rather" would both make awful names for such a thing, as they are childish, lacking in aura, and do not actually describe the phenomena present in most cyoaEvery single strategy game is a choice game. Life is a choice gameAnd would you rather is the lowest, most redditish form of cyoaThe highest form of cyoa gameplay is contemplationWe contemplate waifus, contemplate weapons and strategiesAnd unlike other names, the emphasis on contemplation is really a thing we do differently from literally every other type of gameSo, I would like to ask that "Contemplation Game" is added to the list of names this general might haveThanks, love you <3-Anon
>>97300829>swordsinginghmmm I'm sure Bethesda will do this cool concept justice and won't completely fuck it up...

>>97300968Elder Scrolls VI doesn't exist you stupid slut, it's almost been 8 years since the teaser trailer.Todd Howard is stringing Microsoft along while he drains away all the money he can from them.But this is a good thing, since Elder Scrolls won't be ruined by a terrible woke sequel like every other beloved media franchise.

>>97300990Good one jimbo, now go change your diapies, they stink.
>>97300991*es6 gets shadow released this year and it is precisely a terrible woke sequel* kek
>>97300965Anon who runs the rentry here.The rentry doesn't have a "list of names this general might have", what would even be the purpose of such a list?
>>97300991ES6 is definitely coming out eventually. There's just too much money to be made for it not too.
>>97301004>A more accurate name would be "Choice Games".I just don't like how choice games sounds. Or would you rather
>>97298443>Italics is a zoomer who cannot direct his attention to a single thing. He craves constant stimulation and needs to work on not 2, not 3, not even 10, but 20 fucking WIPs at the same time to keep his dopamine at a level where his overstimulated brain he think. Italics can make 20 CYOAs, yet fail at making a single CYOA. This is Magi Case all over again, except there are 20 of them. Except 20 undercooked, disorganized messes that will be "finished in the future," just like what happened to Magi Case. When other authors have to power through writer's block, Italics make a new WIP. Because, unlike other authors, he lives in the moment, not the future. The future is something distant that things he doesn't want to deal with can be pushed into. Just like everything else in is life that he doesn't want to deal with. If he gets bored with a WIP, push it into the future along with Magi Case and his other unfinished CYOAs, and then he can work on something new and exciting again and when that starts to get boring, all he needs to do is start a new project. Because the future is not now, tomorrow, or the next year. The future is this magical dump where everything unconftrable and hard can be pushed into. Remind me again, it took Italics how many years to release the unfinished WIP of Magi Case? Now how many years do you think it will take before the finished version of Magi Case is released? My bet is never ever, because that is what the "future" is to Italics.
I hope Dark Sovereign makes more cyoas.
>>97301027
>>97301027At least he makes CYOA and now WIPorware that will never see the light of day, like Italics
>>97301031
>>97301035
>>97301039
>>97301045
>>97300914Even Charlotte managed it (even if her companions died anyway), and Vtorusha too.
>>97301050
>>97301027dark sovereign didnt make that, you can see him in the shout outs just like a bunch of other people
>>97301062Dark Sovereign created everything, so that means he indirectly made the cyoa.
>>97301014Oh you mean the FAQ section. I copied it from the old pastebin (I changed some parts but not that part), I don't know who originally wrote it.>I just don't like [...] would you ratherI think you're missing the point here:>Q: What is a CYOA?>A: It's like a cross between an RPG character creation system, and a game of "would you rather".I didn't write that but I think "cross between an RPG character creation system, and a game of "would you rather"" is a good description of what the /cyoag/ kind of cyoas are. Complex cyoas often imitate RPG character creation systems, while simple cyoas often imitate would-you-rather prompts (normally a verbal format). The inspiration on both sides there is quite direct. It's not a proposal to rename the general, it's a description of what cyoas are.>I just don't like how choice games soundsI agree (because it suggests interactivity, like HTML games where you make choices with hyperlinks). But I think the author's intent was that most of our cyoas are not really similar to the CYOA gamebooks that coined the term CYOA. I changed it right now to say that directly.
>>97301027Why are newfag authors so shit at compiling their CYOAs?
>>97301099>tok didn't leave big ass white lines between pageshe's learning :)
When I see western fantasy dwarves in a CYOA, or anything D&D inspired (like the distinctive flavor of D&D paladins with oaths and shit), I immediately lose all interest.Fuck neckbeards.
>>97301099image size limits, also you dont have the heroes section or the sections on magic, martial arts, and the various possible drop locations and factions
>>97301109Not Tok but I've done that intentionally, because delimiters between pages can be useful information. Sometimes CYOAs even explicitly refer to a specific page by its number.
>>97301099>Why are inexperienced newbies absolutely perfect from the beginning.Retard
>>97301118>image size limits, also you dont have the heroes section or the sections on magic, martial arts, and the various possible drop locations and factionsBecause I did not bother making page 2. I just wanted to show everyone that 4 "pages" of this shit could be compiled into a single page, and the entire CYOA could be turned into 2 pages. I'n not gonna do it, I just wanted people to see how what could have been. Instead of posting oversized 8 pages you could post the same CYOA in 2 pages. But no, the author did not thave thge brain capacity to do that so now their CYOA will get posted way less and it's going to be a pain in the ass for every anon that wants to post it.
>>97301115to be fair theres also people who lose interest if one doesnt include such obvious additions to a cyoa like this, like the dwarves, elves, humans etc, although the author did try and make them unique with the racial boons you can get, as well as adding other races like the reptilids and goblinoids and whatnot, plus they have micha and anduin in the shout outs section so they probably used isekai dark overlord and dawn of a demon lord as inspiration when making this
>>97301121>Why are inexperienced newbies absolutely perfect from the beginning?This was my first CYOA, perfectly compiled
>>97301151
>>97301085It's alrightI just remember some one like a week ago saying that we should rename the general wyrg and I hated it alot
>>97301158
>>97297304Anyone who's smart would choose AlexNot because of some gay-ass "haha femboy" faggotry, but because he's a doctor. Do you have any idea how easy it is to get fucked by disease in an apocalypse?>get scratched by rusty piece of metal while going around>fucking die>get bitten by the wrong mosquito>fucking die>get some sort of intestinal problem from eating food that wasn't completely safe or drinking rainwater (which has now become unsafe basically worlwide due to pollution)>fucking dieHaving a doctor is stupidly valuable, even if you're not a femboyfag who wants to fuck men.
>>97301166
>>97301172
>>97301178
>>97301140i didnt specify size limits for 4chan you dolt, iirc the creator had alot of trouble trying to chop up the cyoa into usable images because of what they were using to do so which was all that they had access to, thats why the pages are the size they arealso note this is the same board that regularly posts cyoa's with 5, 10, 15 plus images in them at times, i dont think people give a shit
>>97301183
>>97301085Personally I think that The name cyoa should be kept. Book cyoas have lost their relevance we have co-opted the term cyoa for many years now, that it's widely accepted as the term for this type of media. It's so prevalent that it's essentially the first thing that pops up on Google when you type in cyoa. Your not going to easily replace a term that has cemented itself in the community.
>>97301188a
>>97301169>get scratched by rusty piece of metal while going around>fucking die>get some sort of intestinal problem from eating food that wasn't completely safe or drinking rainwater (which has now become unsafe basically worlwide due to pollution)>fucking dieNone of those problems need a doctor to solve, anon...Are people really this helpless these days?>get bitten by the wrong mosquito>fucking dieYou mean malaria? That's a problem yes, but the CYOA talks about waffle house, we should assume it takes place in USA.
>>97301198I agree, that's what I wrote in the rentry also.>Q: What is a CYOA?>A: It's like a cross between an RPG character creation system, and a game of "would you rather". Our CYOAs are rarely similar to the paperback CYOA gamebooks that coined the term, but the name stuck, there's no use in changing it now.
>>97301151>Basic bitch white text on black background.>Each image is a different size.>Low effort list template for the description >Perfectly compiledlmao
>>97301212>None of those problems need a doctor to solve, anon...Have you ever had an intestinal infection anon? I did. I wanted to literally die for like two weeks. It was so stupidly fucking painful to so much as move even an inch that I had to take basically constant pain meds. And that was from a teeny tiny scratch that slightly inflammated my intestines. Everyone around me kept going "Oooh it's the appendyx" until a doctor went and really checked it.So yeah, I think i'll stick with the doctor.>You mean malaria? There are other diseases, too. Like the Aedes. Also, without pest control, america is going to get flooded with foreign shit coming from central america. It's literally true. Check it. I guess you could be north where they can't live, but then you gotta worry about the cold which has a fuckton of other issues.Either way, Alex is objectively 100% the best choice regardless of what he is.
>>97301185>also note this is the same board that regularly posts cyoa's with 5, 10, 15 plus images in them at times, i dont think people give a shitHow often does someone post a CYOA that is 15+ pages long, and how often is a 5 page CYOA posted? The lower the number of pages a CYOA has, the likelier it is to be reposted. Thus, all CYOAs should be compiled competently to maximize repostability and make it easier for anons to repost them. It is also easier to navigate and save competently compiled CYOAs. So it is also a question of taking the time and effort to make the CYOA user-friendly. It is because of people like you that modern games are so poorly optimized. "This optimization is fine, it is okay that a new game is 150gb big, modern hard drives are so big anyway that we can afford poor optimization". Fuck you and fuck your incompetent agolegist attitude and low as shit standards. People like you are a fucking cancer and the reason why good things turn to shit.
>>97300935>Which of those can we expect in the next 4 years A good chunk of them since they are relatively mid-size CYOAs.>which one do the girls in the pic show up in?The three girls appear in Eternal Blue NAVE update. Going to left to right:Makena - Her ancestors made some of the first energy busters and sabers used to fight Anciebt technologt and is a weaponsmith/miko who is your childhood friend.Faye - She is the President of the largest Exploration Guild on the Blue Planet. She is your childhood friend who wanted to be an Explorer with you and has been waiting on you to join her Guild and instead you ran off and became independent AND had Rouleau as your first partner instead of her. She is also the daughter of the President of the world government and main heroine of the NAVE Update Story Quest because her family is related to the first explorers/founders of the Association Government.Gardenia - A rich ojou from your home town who is continuing her grandfather's life work on uncocer ancient sites and harvesting Aether as an energy source.>>97300921I'm not working on all of them at the same time. So how is it too many WIPs? I don't know how many I have repeated it but I have three-four main projects at one time for release projects (actively worked on)Currently:Forefront: ESP Project1. Echoes PSY2. Luminary: Servitor of the Goddess3. Star Runners: Adventures in the CosmosBonus (When I get to it): Magi Case
>>97297304image too low rez cant readgive the sauce
>>97301272Magi bros... I don't think anyone would complain if you moved redux ahead of star runners and luminary
>>97301265well fuck you and your inability to think about what people are actually capable of with what they have available, just cause games made by a handful or less people doesnt mean any old ass hole can sit down and make a game of the year, not everyone is that talented, has all those skills, and can spend years on end making a single thing, is the current game industry full of slop, yes it is, mostly from companies refusing to let cash cows die and also not giving devs enough time to make anything good, but despite that, you cant just expect a rando off the street to make a masterpiece on the first try with no training, no tools, and no time or motivation

Acting damage control for bad CYOAs helps no one and will only make the standards for CYOAs as a medium to drop, making CYOAs worse overall.

>>97298443>Ars Goetia>Constellation (Pokemon Personified, Spiritual Successor)>Dilemma n' Trigger: OccultpunkWhat's the premise for these ones?
>>97301339i am well aware of this, problem however, the number of pages of a cyoa doesnt count for the cyoa's actual quality, and personally i feel like other problems with a cyoa like needing more exposition or rebalancing of options and whatnot should be given more priority than making it be fewer pages to post on 4chan which is like the only fucking place where page count is a problem
>>97301304>I don't think anyone would complain if you moved redux ahead of star runners and luminaryHigh chance you are right in that regard, but it's not like Magi Case Redux won't come out before them.Majority of the Magi Case writing left is getting through the slog that are companions, rewriting the magic system to be more receptive for players, and finishing the impact events for players and tons more quests.But, Companions are the biggest bulkest part. There are over 20 new characters being added in ranging from alliee investigstor to leaders of different factions in clans. Like you actually meet several of the mentioned Lich Council members in the Devil Clan and meet the Archmages adopted daughter, more Vampires in Bathory appear, etc.

When is the Rise of the Dark Lord CYOA redux going to release? I remember some anon working on it.
>>97300564There is no singular godking it is a group of magical humans that rule.Beastmen are outsiders of society they have their own social structure, because they are strong but can't beat the godkings they are useful as enforcers even if technically they are below humans in value as humans can become godkings, they are useful fall guys for the rulers they are the bad cop of the government so that the godkings are seen as the good guys.So to summarize they are seen as something similar to jews crossed with cops, mercenaries or middle managers in the social structure.
>>97300983>>97300995Lmao
>>97301439Do you have a moment for a few lore questions? 1. How does the Edo clan's Hybridization Magic interact with Enigmas, assuming the magi has Sterilized Eyes? (And what happens if they don't?)2. How can one breed for Sterilized Eyes, or have a process (not neccesarily always reliable) of making one acquire them? Was thinking of an Edo Upper Family who secretly have a captured Enigma and use careful exposure to acquire Sterilized Eyes.3. Can you modify your body with magic/alchemy/genetic engineering so on to withstand Projection spellcasting better?4. If you somehow made a King of Monsters into a Familiar, how would people react if they knew? Any way to have them accompany you while hiding they're a KoM?5. Let's say like in her greeting (you) visit Empedocles at some frequency to tell her stories. Assumimg (you) were the Contractor from Liqiu and others' backstory that did a lot of underground mercenaru work, how would she react to you regaling her of times being magical John Wick, killing a lot of people (and aiding illegal activity before BISA forcefully recruited you?6. How versatile is True Polymorph if you've acheived expertise or mastery? Could I go John Carpenter/Alex Mercer on people and eat/rip apart people with my arms or suddenly grown appendages/mutations, then revert back to normal appearance?
>>97301911nta but I don't know, you'd have to ask the author.
>>97301911Hybridization Magic at its most basic function in bodypart swapping/transformation. If you swap your eyes out for aomwthing like a dragons you won't go insane looking at an Enigma, but you will start bleeding Mana to maintain the swapped/transformed eyes longer. The swapped parts are basically sunglasses.2. Bow do you breed for sterilized eyes? Capture some anti-mages and breed them. Or just have humans with high reasoning in their brain and breeding them. Incest like in Dunwich is good way too.3. Yes. You can be tanky against projection by mosifying your body, but mental impacts will still stand since that is coming to the mind.4. As long as KoM is under control they would be cool as a cucumber, but more powerful mages will be ready to jump at first sign of trouble.5. She would feel sorry you got forcefully recruited and be willing to write a letter to the Bureau to let you go if you are Drac. She wpuld also listen to your story because she likes action flicks like that.6. Yes. Polymorph is basically free shapeshifting but you can make it permanent using mana unlike regular Hybridization. You just need mana to pay for the shapeshifting forms.
>>97301955You are one strange retard, y'know that?Unwilling to check what is true or untrue, but endlessly wanting to babbleDo you loathe others? to find them so undeserving of basic courtesy? Or is it a simple lethargy?
>>97301987You can suck my tiny little dick you asshole

>>97302017what?
>>97301987Don't pay the discordbaby any mind, he likes to yap alot.
>>97301985Thanks!What I meant with the first one though was, does Ability Claimation/Hybridization work on Enigmas?
Man, what a bunch of losers you all are. Bet you like litrpg slop too
litrpgslop is peak, fuck you matterjeeta
Speaking of never-evers, anyone know who made this one?
>>97302315nope, sorry.
>>97301666Ohh.. so its just a Magical human aristocracy and the beastmen are the martial caste, I guess they would be pretty satisfied with this arrangement as they are above in class to all the commoner humans, pretty privileged really. Is this middle caste soly made up of beastmen or does it have humans too? Seems pretty risky to solve rely on beastmen
>>97302326Dude...
>>97302355yeah?
I tried watching mushoku tensei and its really badA lot worse than danmachi
>>97302365Literally how? I will admit the characters may suck but the setting is better in every way otherwise.
>>97302384Probably has something to do with the literal pedophile as the MC
>>97298956>>97298962I don’t live here, what’s wrong with the cyoa? I’m not really interested in being a paladin, so I’ve only looked at it with mild interest
>>97302439anons are immoral and hate being told to act morally
>>97302331>Is this middle caste soly made up of beastmen or does it have humans too? Seems pretty risky to solve rely on beastmenThere are humans too it really depends on their lords wishes for example they would want their family to be better off than most people.Beastmen are seen as safe because of their known limitations and the subservient role of their goddess towards the human god so they are religiously and socially compelled to follow them.Not all of them are warriors some also fulfill other roles like being personal servants, clerks or farming in their own lands, of course the more prestigious the position (closer to their master) the more likely it is to be filled by higher caste beastmen the more animal looking ones normally stay in lower positions in the military or manual work for their clans.
>>97302439It has a similar drawback mechanic to Angel, but it's the first thing that You see, on a page of its own, which creates a strongly negative first impression for many anons before They're able to read the options gated behind them. Normally somebody puts those after many other options and a cursory summary of the setting, Witch Awakening filtered Me for a long while (for everyone's benefit) because the first page was essentially a long wall of "do this to get mana points" drawbacks that didn't matter.
>>97302439Most of the complaints are that paladins need to restrict their morals with drawbacks/oaths for power, which doesn't make much sense to me, as that's what paladins are defined by. A more solid complaint is about the balance of some of the powers- soulflame's infinite scaling and several absolute, conceptual-tier counter hax are extremely strong and take some of the fun out of imagining fights, as there barely are fights with them if used competently. It is an above-average CYOA, I like it personally.
>>97302511I might be wrong but I smell fear in this post, fear of soulflame.Honestly I think it's alright, it's powerful but narrow in its utility most evil guys don't consume souls only a few specific types of beings (like sons...) do so I think it's alright.
>>97302480>>97302487>>97302511So anons are fucking stupid, what’s new. I didn’t realize it was Rake, I enjoyed their last few things quite a bit so I guess I gotta give it a shot
>>97302511Paladins always had anti-evil hax, they're good specialists against evil hax (like fear or curses or whatnot) that would decimate a mundane army.
>>97302564>I didn’t realize it was Rake,It's not rake, only a retarded shitposter said it's by rake. Why do you think it's by him?
>>97302573The imgchest says Rake, so I guess that’s my bad
>>97302564It's by PCA.
>>97302571I somewhat agree that saying, "you will always be as strong as whatever you are fighting, no drawbacks or difficulties" is way too strong for what's essentially an entry tier power. Some of the powers are regular things expected of a paladin and some scale into infinity in such a way that you are left wondering what could even stand against them in an interesting way.I know some people constantly cry about nerfs but some of the powers could have a lower ceiling if only to make the challenges more interesting.
>>97302586Another one fell for that. Rake uploaded cyoas to imagechest from way before becoming an author. When it's one of his own cyoas he puts "by Rake" in the title, otherwise he puts "from /tg" on it. Most of the cyoas he uploaded aren't his and he doesn't even try to pretend otherwise, he just likes archiving them probably.
>>97302597I choose to believe our gigapaladin is the main character so it's okay for him to be OP because only like 3 companions have OP powers compared to path ones, and those three are a god aspect, a demon lord, and a dragon.
>>97302597>some of the powers could have a lower ceiling if only to make the challenges more interestingI agree with this. The Divine Judgement power lets me one-shot any of the big bads, even a whole city or army if taken with Apotheosis. Yes it's 50/85 points but it's instant victory that I either ignore or make my other choices seem redundant.

>>97298415>>97302511Honestly, the oaths really aren’t that bad at all. Hell, many of them are things I strive for anyway. The problem, as I see it, is that I’m a stupid asshole and could accidentally break them. I’m not all the way through yet nor am I usually a big paladin type, so I have to ask if paladins generally have a divine sense of “I can’t be doing that”
>>97302591Why do you keep saying this? do you have proof?
>>97302241Yeah. They should work on Enigmas as they products of Creation. However you have to have knowledge of them to perform it and not be driven insane doing it. The vast majority of Magi Clans and mages have no idea that Lovecraftian horrors are actively running around and the ones who encounter them without protection get actively messed up before they can bring back any intel.Galileo Clan keeps their activties very hush-hush and their enigma cults freak out regular mages who don't want to touch it or just don't care.This was also going to be addressed in Redux as the Ford Clan secret police special projects division has been investigating the existence Ayylmaos (to beat and rob them of their technology). Bathory Clan is also involved because of a Vampire there drinking old blood and spreading it through his court.

But who gave the greenlight? Who hired the voice actors? who thought "yeah, lets put this in our anime list"It's simply bizarre. I love it.
>>97302813Yes but there you have time off and get paidHere you literally need to work at all times or you fallIt was stated by the author that visiting the wedding of a friend was too much of a time waste and causes you to fallAslo you literally aren't allowed use your powers for personal gain
>>97302857>Aslo you literally aren't allowed use your powers for personal gainMagi Case does it too.>Getting time off and paid doesn't mean you aren't waging still
>>97302615It's less about being OP and more on the fights just not being fun. You can't really struggle against any threat as long as you don't purposely cripple yourself in your choices. Nothing stops you from showing up, blasting whatever evil you have in front of you with a blast of light that will kill it regardless of whatever protection it has and move on. It also makes some of the cool powers, like Condemnation and Smite, redundant since you can just do the same super kill evil move that does the same with less restrictions.It's also a problem with the nature of your oaths, you should be encouraged in ending whatever engagement in the fastest way possible to stop casualties, having a flashy sword fight with a demon lord would simply put more lives at risk than simply chaining it with a thought and forcing it to surrender.

>>97302857>was stated by the author that visiting the wedding of a friend was too much of a time waste and causes you to fallHe never said that. He stressed quite heavily that as long as you are not going against the spirit of the oath, having a breather from time to time was obviously allowed.
>>97302906No, he said that exact thing to meHe might have said the opposite at a later date (Because none of this shit is raw and none of it really makes sense) but I have long since stopped reading his posts
>>97302906>>97302921Both of you search for the message you mean in the archives and I will decide who is right. Me, the CEO of TG.
>>97302938https://desuarchive.org/tg/thread/97238477/#97240885It was actually daughters weddingI was wrong, the problem was worse then I remembered
>>97302891Feel free to not believe me one of the companions was suggested by me.
>>97302949I see. I wasn't in the discussion but from that message... how can you get that?The example he says"sorry that the lich Abzarax killed everyone, but I had a family occasion" implies a big bad is alive and killing people, in that case going to a wedding and ignore the people is kinda... douchy.
>>97302984The context was me talking about never being able to take breaksHim giving an arbitrary example of why taking breaks is silly implies that he thinks taking breaks is silly, not that that particular situation is something to avoidIf the situation was: "You need work where and when there is sufficient need" then the whole thing would be alot more reasonable, but he was pretty clear about it being never. No "Mental health days" no "Family occasions" etcThere is always a big bad, this is multiverse slop, just hire more paladins
>>97302776Enigmas only exist to be studied and weaponized by FordCHADS
>>97302981Which one?
>>97303145Can't tell you otherwise I'll blow my cover and PCA will know I'm snitching.
>>97303157how many of you helped him for it to be something that can be discovered only if you give those details?
>>97302661Undead Unluck.
>>97302661The anime are mid but fate/stay night, read the novel for peak.Also there are many good ones you just have to let go of shonen of the week.>Now and Then, Here and There>Bokurano>Princess TutuFor a few examples
>>97303218breedable.
>>97303185It was coolest right as the laws were being introduced, but looking back I don't know is it could have landed any betterAlso, I would have rathered if the sunglasses guy was actually blind
>>97302981>PCA the guy who made Spirit Conscript with none the wiser asked a random anon to help him make a juvenile-quality cyoa.Yeah sure.
>>97303246Billy is blind, until he steals undead and regenerate his eyes.
>>97303182I don't know, but I would rather not risk it I already said too much by telling you who made it.>>97303250>What's discord
>>97300932The derpy face ruins it
>>97303283>Still going >Reveals he's a discordtroon on top of being a blithering retard.You still haven't explained the drop in quality. Did PCA catch a brain-degenerative disease or something?
>>97302834Actually, i helped the author make it and i can tell you it's not PCA.
where is gil
>>97303313>derpy faceWe call that the "Tok Bimbomination Face" newfag.
>>97303327He just released an OC bro.
>>97303329>newfagLog off the internet, son
>>97303333Yes, but its only in reddit.
>>97303356I didn't know this was reddit. Explains a lot.
>>97303347That's a crazy statement coming from someone who shares the same porn tastes as tok.
>>97297736Acheld's fourth book, the Isles Beside the Sea.
>>97303313The face is the best part of it
>>97303399Ew.>>97303378They are not newfags tho, Tok's taste is old, its from before civilization existed and anything remotely ""femenine"" was attractive.
>>97302661Kaiji is a true man's anime
>>97303425Agree. Kaiji is peak. I will return to read the rest of the manga when it finishes tho
>>97303425>literally zero (0) female characterskinda impressive honestlyi mean, i guess one appears in the credit song, but that doesn't count, she's not actually in the story.
>>97303425Based I was about to suggest that too alongside rainbow.https://youtu.be/ibkhGFKhyW8?=QoqPhp3hEEu0n9XO
>>97303456She is in the manga. The ending where she appears is literally the first chapter of the manga after the pachinko events of the second season.She is the daughter of his partner in crime, I remember we saw her too in the second season, he showing Kaiji "look this is my beautiful daughter!" and Kaiji thinking she is ugly because she has the same face of her father.She falls in love with Kaiji, who is grossed out and tries to escape her advances. Apart from her in the manga I remember 4 more female characters, 2 being background basically, other being semi important and the other just being the mother of a side character.But yeah, 0 fanservice, 0 attractive characters, 100% gambling
>>97303028Are Fords basically the rats/iggers of Magi Case? All they do is ruin things for others for little to no reason at all.
>No rape>Easy drawbacks only>Perfectly loyal brainwashed waifus>Nothing too sadAre we safe edgy?
>>97303530Yes the Ford Auctor/Clan are literally an allegory for jews. Rampant capitalism, backstabbing behaviour, profiteering off war and drugs, pedophilia, etc...
>>97303456You simply haven't gotten to the grandma arc yet>>97303425TrueI fucking love gambling (fictional)
>>97303556Demon Eyes had rape, heavily implied and powers meant to do so
>>97302661Sonny BoyNow there's an unsolved anime
>>97303556Urm sweaty thats actually still qualifies as rape. No free will = no consent = rape.
>>973035771. Don't call me sweaty, I am not your sweaty.2. You are wrong.
>>97303570>>97303577That's what makes it safe edgy, you are the one that can freely abuse others only, the moment you have a boss or something anon gets mad.
>>97303608>That's what makes it safe edgy, you are the one that can freely abuse others only,As I said, there is heavily implied rape in Demon Eyes, and that comes from the ugly bastards raping people in the enemy section.
>>97303608Ah, so Witch Awakening is proper edgy because anon has a boss to approve of all the rapes and rape-analogy crimes?
>>97303666>Witch awakening>rapeWhat? The cloest thing I remember is Penelope wanting to get seriously bred.
>>97303333That’s not him retard
>>97303666>Witch AwakeningOh fuck, V4's supposed to be coming out soon, right? WE HAVE OC!
>>97303707Proof?
>>97303674https://desuarchive.org/tg/thread/94224787/#94228766
>>97303717Mental illness ahead, proceed with caution.
>>97303378>so hysterical he cant read
>>97303636>>97303666It's still safe edgy you are given all the free leeway to rape.What about raped waifus?What about being denied the opportunity to not only rape but do other evils?That would be properly edgy by putting anon outside his comfort zone.
>>97303732It would have been good to know before.
>>97303674>What? The cloest thing I remember is Penelope wanting to get seriously bred.There's a quest to help Jeffrey Epstein kidnap high levelled witches and another quest where Hespatia is staging a raid to "bad end" a whole train of Watcher trainees.
>>97303745>Jeffrey Epstein kidnap high levelled witchesNTA but I 'member that one. Felt like a weird tonal shift tbhdesu
>>97303712The proof is in the fact that he is DEAD
>>97303745>Hespatia is staging a raid to "bad end" a whole train of Watcher traineeswtf hespatian are based
>>97303717No rape. And TMI
>>97303742You don't know what Safe Edgy is, Safe Edgy is trying to find moral jusitification to being "evil and dark" so you can be edgy without feeling guilt.Having a way to rape is not "safe edgy".Raped waifus is also not "not safe edgy". Thats just your fetish of misery porn.>What about being denied the opportunity to not only rape but do other evils?Any cyoa that gives power lets you do that, unless there is a power over you banning it, like Paladin. That would not be "not safe edgy" it would just be the opposite.>That would be properly edgy by putting anon outside his comfort zone.Yeah, you don't know what edgy is. With your logic, Paladin is an edgy cyoa
https://imgchest.com/p/lqyelgq334d
>>97303557Italics here. Ford Clan doesn't do pedophilia and they aren't really that backstabbing. Now they do have rampant capitalism and loose ethic system and profit off war. However, they do not promote any form of drug culture and actually clamp down on it. If you want a dopamine rush the Ford Auctor recommends getting augmentation and getting your hit the right way.
>>97303827Fords are trveblooded Americans, dominion over Magi society was promised to them 3000 years ago
>>97303745>Help EpsteinFair enough. I had to search the cyoa and read that. It was also not Penelope but her sister who wanted to be bred, btw.Witch awakening is a febril dream for me, I never got to read it fully, only reaching until the companions, and from time to time I read someone say "hey, remenber when in Witch awakening..." and its always something weird.
>>97303819>You don't know what Safe Edgy is, Safe Edgy is trying to find moral jusitification to being "evil and dark" so you can be edgy without feeling guilt. That's a perfect summary of why entropist is safe edgy.>Having a way to rape is not "safe edgy". >Raped waifus is also not "not safe edgy". Thats just your fetish of misery porn. Safe edgy is you can be evil but it's good but don't look or examine the repercussions of evil like with a raped waifu.That's true edge.Also paladin is edgy in that it doesn't bend to make anon comfortable and gift him all the power for free.
>>97303864>That's a perfect summary of why entropist is safe edgy.I agree. Entropist leans into safe edgy. Which is why I like it, I want to be edgy but I don't want to be really evil.>Safe edgy is you can be evil but it's good but don't look or examine the repercussions of evil like with a raped waifu.eing?>Also paladin is edgy in that it doesn't bend to make anon comfortable and gift him all the power for free.Thats not being edgy. Thats being a hard cyoa in difficulty.
>>97303864>>97303884Give me a hard cyoa that's not edgy, six pages or less.
>>97303951First define hard.
>>97303845Ford Clan aren't even originally from America. Ford himself has Persian and English blood in him.
>>97303884I don’t think it’s really that hard once you get down to it. A ton of choices are duplicative and most of the oaths are super basic “be a good person” shit. Not to mention how many fuck you I win buttons there are and you really only need one of those. It does strike me, upon reflection, how many cyoas are custom built for you to be a total piece of shit and this one is simply telling you not be. That said, I still find myself rather strapped for points, especially in comparison to some of the companions.
>>97303884>I agree. Entropist leans into safe edgy. Which is why I like it, I want to be edgy but I don't want to be really evil.So you agree with my original premise that this place is safe edgy.
>>97303968No...? I am one anon. My personal opinion does not represent the rest.
>>9730395720% chance of survival if you assume the average anon is involved.
>>97303987Then Paladin is not hard. Virtually no cyoa is hard.
>>97303978>This place is not safe edgy I enjoy this incredibly popular CYOA that most here enjoy that is indeed safe edgy but that doesn't mean we are safe edgy.
>>97303992Exactly. There are almost no hard cyoas. I challenge any anon to prove me wrong.
>>97303951here you go.
>>97304003Try the hero's reward.At least a few anons died trying to play it.
>>97303997>Hey, I like this cyoa, one of the reasons is because I like safe edgy>so you are saying this place is safe edgy?>No, I said I liked one cyoa that si safe edgy and that it being that helped me like it>but it was very popular so everyone else also must have the same reason than you to like it right?It doesn't work like that, anon. Entropist lets you be safe edgy, be a farmer (or escape into space like that other anon and just have a ship), or be a genocidial conqueror. Me liking one playstyle does not represent the rest of the thread.
>>97303997>every single person that likes one thing likes it because of the same reason
>>97303987bad criteria, anons are too obsessed with immortality so they will never play a cyoa that has a high chance of them dying, instead you got to use a 20% bad end chance, where they become some depressed drunk failed hero like Keter.
>>97304010Red can give all the rest in the same cyoa (Laboratorium)
>>97304010I'll take the purple for pic realted
>>97304033A lot of cyoas can give you all the other ones, and easier than Laboratorium. In that one you have to work for them instead.
>>97304024>>97304025>Please don't notice why entropist is popular.I'm noticing.
>>97304054In laboratorium the only thing you would need to work is saiyan, but their biology seems fairly simple overall and you could just go and grab one and reverse engineer it. The other 4 are are practically instantanous
Gil is dead. His spirit was allowed to come back for one night during Christmas, but that’s it.
>>97304010Red, I choose whatever cyoa is posted first after this comment
>>97304128Have fun anon!
>>97304073I guess the money and skills are not difficult to get, still easier in cyoas where you can just buy them with points but not by much. Becoming a catgirl is also possibly instant if you choose the right template or the protoplasm, and finding a cat to splice into yourself is also easy. The girl of your dreams may be a little different tho, depending on tastes it could require a lot of legwork if you want some specific godlike creature. Unless one of the companions is already the girl of your dreams.>and you could just go and grab one and reverse engineer itThat could be pretty hard, from what I remember you don't get dimensional transporattion out of the gate.
>>97304146>one second too lateIs that the equivalent of a fish swimming towards the aquarium's glass?
>>97304145>>97304146Trash shit and meta bullshit don't count.
Okay, okay, real CYOAs now.
>>97304172Here m8.https://imgchest.com/p/9rydj2gwykz
>>97304188
>>97304187
>>97304198
>>97304187Glint Dancer, State Striver and Exotic Painter are all sent to the last cyoa you played with all progressions, deaths and weapons. They're all share your soul, with the memories linking up until this choice. Do you make it?
>>97304210>Cyb-fur-punkThe three of us adopt my Naive build and fight crime or something.
>>97304193>Ghost in the MachineSo if you possessed a data farm you'd just be superhumanly intelligent? Shit you might as well try to turn the entirety of Earth or the Crystal Spire into one big server farm for you to inhabit
>>97302511Maybe Soulflame should have been a linear scaler (and a lot cheaper). But the reasoning generally was that a lot of the abilities are very niche, they do one thing, they might do it very well, but theyre generally not going to do anything outside of their narrow niche. So, between that and the fact that theres a level of "cost" to getting your powers I may have been a bit too "generous" when deciding which way to balance things.Its also why I tried to present suitably "over the top" final bosses, because I realized that basic "its level 18 lich" enemies wouldnt cut it. >>97302597Equilibrium is definitely one of the "scariest" powers in there from a balance perspective (avenger in general desu, raguel and the duel are also pretty hax). Its definetly an incredibly powerful effect, but it also does have "some" limitations, its never more than even odds against the enemy (stats wise), and it doesent interact with any of your buffs. So it makes Avengers very "safe" for picking fights with the biggest thing around, but you still need some other powers if you don't want to get jumped by some normal dudes (or to be favored, rather than even, in your fights). Then again that is also sort of the avenger "fantasy" as I saw it, theyre the "im going to find the demon lord and smite his face in" kind of paladin. Maybe it could stand to be a bit more expensive though. >>97302640Divine judgement was probably a mistake. Or at least, it should probably either be more defined or more conditional. I like the idea of a big holy nuke/execution attack, I think its an interesting ability and very evocative, but it probably needs a bit more refining. Something like "only works against (specific kind of enemy)" or a less total scale of damage. Especially since it was written before I had metamagic:store to worry about, and Paladins couldn't store up a book full of the things during downtime.
>>97304210Last build was Radiant, so I guess Starlight Blessing is even more ridiculously strong.
>>97304210Outer Reincarnation.>Glint Dancer gets the Exarchate for the Dragon King's Most Divine Realm>State Striver joins the Daemonhost and become the STRONGEST>all irrelevant because Exotic Painter decide to reenact Expedition 33's via nightmares and texts from MametImagine Charlotte's face when I destroy the world on my own.
>>97304172Just choose your CYOA then like the option told you
Guy with a Laboratorium vs Guy with a Level 3 Repository. Who would win?
>>97304210The Anglerfish becomes the prey. Simple as.
>>97304343>AI compressed because the original wasn't unreadable enough.
>>97304149I am assuming the girl of your dream is personality and body wise. Not in "she is omnipotent".Jersey is good tho, basically as strong as you, can modify her own body and almost a blank slate in personality due to not remembering anything. So Jersey would be one you can get right out of the gate.>That could be pretty hard, from what I remember you don't get dimensional transporattion out of the gate.You do with the dimensional power that also lets you create more chambers, the only problem is finding the universe with saiyans.
>>97304093He... took my virginity as a Christmas miracle, I am also pregnant with said Christman miracle. Our son is the next Jesuschrist.
>>97304343Director wins 80%.If the Director is aware of the Lab Rat, he'd be able to use the terrain against him. Without Fractaline Shadows, the latter is doomed.If the Lab Rat somehow manages to approach and catch the Director with his USB tentacles, he might be able to edge a win.Or that distraction triggers the Chameleon Device and they both lose/team up against a bigger threat.
>>97304343Guy with a Laboratorium wins due to prep time.
>>97304379iirc you still need to learn how to use your dimensional power, it doesn't come with skill.
>>97304409iirc its a trivial matter to travel between universe, not really a hard skill. The problem is you don't know the place until you go there and copy the "url" if I remember right. One of the drawbacks is about going to an universe and stopping you from instantly fucking out.
>>97302731If its a "true" accident then that cant make you fall. You cant slip on a banana peel, hurt an innocent and lose your powers. If you mean "lapse of judgement", doing something conscious but dumb? There's always Dawn for exactly that purpose (or consult divinity/spirit of wisdom) to help you with that, although I imagine someone aware of their failings and genuine about trying to avoid them is going to have a hard time falling. >>97302906>>97302921>>97302984>>97303022There is a difference between "taking breaks" -deciding you are "off the clock" and therefore have no obligations- and simply having free time. Yes, Paladins do not get vacation; you can't take a mental health break or PTO where you decide "I don't care what happens to anyone else, this is "me" time, come back about your problems when I return to the office/my work hours". Thats nonsensical. That does not mean you cannot do things like go to a wedding or therapy or even just have a quiet sit down to think about things that have been bothering you/unwind, provided you are willing to drop whatever you are doing if/when necessary and a greater need arises.You are allowed to engage in whatever personal activity you wish, provided you do not place it above "the greater good" should they come into conflict.
>>97304438Please actually shut up about it
>>97303992Paladin is close to if not outright a power fantasy cyoa.
>>97304449nta but I don't see the problem. He is explaining himself.
>page 10finally, let it end
>>97304461He has spent entire threads responding to everyone who will listen, and always in an argumentative dismissive toneIt doesn't matterIt's effectively a bait cyoa at this point, used only to stir up drama
>>97304500Nta but it's you that spam threads trying to shitpost about it.You stirring up drama about it doesn't mean anything about the cyoa
imagine being a paladinc*ck slave to imaginary rules just to have a sliver of power where it doesn't matter because everyone goes to heaven at the end anyway thus rendering everything you do irrelevant
>>97304438Considering the pictures used for many of the companions, I AM going to have lapses in judgement. It’s particularly funny with Dawn, as her familial role photos are quite sexualized. Sister has half her titties and ass out. So let’s add incest to my list of potential crimes. I actually specifically picked a companion to talk some sense in to me for all the good that will do. >No Mr Paladin you shouldn’t fuck the witch and the dragon
NEW THREAD:>>97304531>>97304531>>97304531

>>97304529>IMMA FUCK THEM ANYWAYS
>>97304010Red, I use it for Prisioner Transfer
>>97304529Are paladins even banned from sex or even incest?
>>97304500normally you only see this level of projection at a cinemayou've been whining about the same stuff like a broken record since before the cyoa even came out, the little ("not looking to argue though teeheees") are just the faggy little cherries on top of the shitposting sundae
