Italics new psychic CYOA won't have immortality so I'm not playing.
>>97312096it's a 3 page cyoa, are you really not going to post the rest?
>>97312096I like how one of the enemies in this cyoa is just an annoying bureaucratic system that hounds even the outsiders. At some point the machine becomes its own entity or monster.
>>97312180Don’t forget the faggy edgy drama club that just wants to you to act in their play goddamnit
>>97312096>>97312171
>>97312171It's like that now, isn't it. Newfags may think imgchestposting is even the cyoag standard, can't blame them. But just a few years ago nobody on cyoag did that. The practice started on cyoar, I think.
>>97312230>>97312234it's up to us to teach newfriends the right way
>>97312234Can't blame them, the file size limit is halved over there.
>>97312225You got filtered.
>>97312225The ending was a letdown ("What makes humans so hearty... is our hearts :)"). But it's very unique, that's worth a lot.
>>97312243Oh right, I forgot that. Makes sense then.>>97312237How far did you get with Spider and Web?
>>97312256Anon the ending was the best part.
Oh WOOOOW I’m sorry for dissing your favorite movie mr janny…
>>97312285You will respect it.
>>97312271Not far at all. I got fed up with carrying out the same actions over and over only to get one step further and repeat. It is a really cool concept and I was enjoying it, but I forgot about it the next day after playing for a few hours. Maybe I will pick it up!
>>97312309
>>97312096>>97312230>>97312237This one is pretty vague on what you can do. It doesn’t really clarify if you can even learn more psykana powers. It only really mentioned uncovering secret knowledge.
>>97312168Will it at least have rape in it?Otherwise I'm not interested either.
>>97312168Why do you care? When you olay an Italics cyoa you're playing a character not (you).
>>97312168>Italicsnever ever, next
>>97312245>>97312256Why were the aliens so autistic?
>>97312315Do you need to learn more? Even one is very powerful and will grow in power as you progress. I think you can just Sartre it to be whatever you wish, but to me it seems like this setting wouldn't be as fun if it got away from the mentality of a rat hiding in the shadows
>>97312321Truke (truth nuke)
>>97312350The narrator/guide mentions the cards presented being your potential, while the barbers “will teach you all the psykana tricks they know”. The eldritch knowledge in the hotel, and that of the library, don’t really elucidate much on what they offer.
>>97312321>you're playing a character not (you)If I'm responsible for all his choices, thoughts and actions, it might as well be me.
>>97312171Should I houserule out fate manipulation with forced outcomes? lvl 1 soulmate lets me get rich off russian roulette and autowins any sort of lethal combat.>muh alive but crippledbomb collar + dead man's switch
>>97312321I always self insert, it's not a cyoa otherwise.
>>97312428
>>97312431
>>97312435
>>97312400But you're not. You pick some options but Italics then tells you what your character does from those choices, he even tells you what to think.
Cyoas with exceedingly subtle powers?
>>97312096>Hideout:Hotel>Common Items:Skeleton Key>Wonderous Items:Rosary>Companions:The Fed>Psykana Powers:Clairvoyance, Telekinesis, Healing, Levitation, Information Absorption, Phasing>Alliances:The Library, Mysterious Outsiders>Nemeses:The Adjustment Bureau: I will surely upset the status quo and be on their list of delinquents soon because I'm hunted by many Nemeses, so this is free.The White Ties: I can easily ally myself with some of their factions to obtain protection from the others.Zoological Services: They have so many enemies while I have so many allies.Dark Cabaret, First Fanatic Fan Club: Mind control doesn't work on me. I can easily know their identities with Information Absorption.Gnostic Dawn: Ganged up by everyone, even my other enemies will obstruct them from taking me, if only for their own interests.Allying myself with as many factions as possible to protect myself from the ones hunting me down perhaps will be the fuse to the start of a great war...
>>97312448>The White Ties: I can easily ally myself with some of their factions to obtain protection from the others.This is what I did. They’d be easy to get on your side. “Oh. You found me. It’s not YOU I’m running from, though…”. “Who could possibly be more intimidating than us?”. “Here’s a list.”. Lol. The Hospital is a non-threat, and the Dark Cabaret is just funny. A part of me vibes with the movie people.
>>97312445I'm still the one choosing amongst the 6+ pasts outlined by the author, and he has no power over my future. It's obviously my conduit to this world, thus "me".
>>97312446I liked this one.
>>97312476
>>97312476>exceedingly subtle
>>97312448This guy is definitely getting lobotomized by the dark powers.
>>97312517Everyone is. This is a doomed cyoa.
>>97312531No it’s not. You just have to stay hidden and not be stupid. Anyone who takes the hotel is stupid. Anyone who takes more than three nemeses is stupid.
>>97312446Mountain, Lover, Star-gazer. None of the other coins seem all that interesting to me though I'm sure someone else might want want them. The downsides definitely don't seem worth it, though I'd probably check my pockets constantly anyway because I'm an anxious person.
>>97312540Anyone who play the cyoa is suicidal.
>>97312544The four coins downside isn’t really all that bad. I wouldn’t trust leaving them at my house.
>>97312546Yes, but, what would YOU do in a suicidal situation like that? Make it WORSE? No. No you would not.
>>97312544You need to consider who you’re given the other coins to, anon. It’s not that easy. You could leave them on a bench, but it’s nicer if you give them to someone who deserves them.
>>97312517>>97312531>>97312540>>97312546Just join the circus of freaks lol
>>97312565Throw it back on the monster to make him spare me!
>>97312428>>97312440Do anons think this forever wip page is worth posting too? Or should it just be forgotten like Ordion intended it to?
>>97312565I wouldn't be in this situation at all, since I'm not playing.
>>97312607The cyoa is assuming you’re in that situation, thobeit. Therefore, you wouldn’t want to make it any worse for yourself.
>>97312602It's up to the poster. I do think some people might appreciate the map for context!
>not taking pyrokinesis >not seducing the firemenNone of you know how to solve that cyoa
>>97312626>seducingI'm not a slut.
>>97312626For all we know the firemen want to burn you to a crisp then stick you into one of their suits.
>>97312639Anon you just have to tease them a bit>>97312654Nah they are just shy boys
>>97312057>>97312076>>97312171>Bad graphics and art style>>97312096>>97312309>Mixed shit art and boring setting>>97312247>meme shit CYOA>>97312428>Mixed shit art and forever WIP>>97312446>No graphics and wall of text>>97312451>Bad art the CYOA
>>97312666But that's how sluts think.
>>97312473>The Hospital is a non-threatBut it can be a good ally.
>>97312673You missed one.
>>97312456>Uninteresting powers>>97312476>>97312487>Too much text and too few imagesNo good CYOAs today either...
I guess I have to post a good CYOA myself or there won't be any good CYOAs in this cursed thread
>>97312684No. Bullshit. I don’t trust them. They’d do experiments.
>>97312706
>>97312706>MCU>Azes13>good CYOAlol lmao even
>You pick some options but Italics then tells you what your character does from those choices,Why do we let these breed of retards speak in this general?
>>97312716
>>97312728
>>97312684Does this surgeon look trustworthy to you
>>97312741
>>97312757
>>97312766
>>97312706>>97312725It's way better than the other CYOAs that have been posted so far
>>97312451this your oc? better than your last cyoa but still lacking. out of all of these options, I'll go with beast then I'll go hunt in the wilderness and become a cryptid if i must. being strong is a good incentive. i also see nothing saying I can't communicate so what's stopping me from asking to sign up with the SCP foundation wannabes hunting me down? they can keep me fed and I get to fight other eldritch horrors that'd be a pretty cool anime. so yeah i'll try and strike a deal with the feds to be their lap dog as long as I get internet and food
>>97312096This CYOA is among only a few that are detailed, replayable, popular, and outside of the typical genres here. I don't think I see any of my other favorites discussed as much as Metropolis. Maybe Guardians, but that's more in the vein of classic fantasy>>97312798Nope! I'd make a fuss about it if it was mine. It does look a lot alike, coincidentally. I still need to fix Cutting Edge, but it's not high on my list of priorities
>>97312798It's by !*!*!*!*, an old author, you can check his allsync folder. He came back recently and made something too, but I don't see it on the allsync, does anyone have that?
>>97312846Nta, he did. Second category, "Mixed shit art and boring setting"Also it's clearly a tok post, he's the only one that cares about mixed art.
>>97312870whoops!
>>97312428i more or less love everything about this cyoa from the castle building and the magic selection and civ building and whatnot, all except for the army making section, that bit is kinda balls
>>97312712>>97312756I don't mean let them operate on you. They have good connections and valuable knowledge.
My power fantasy is having a nice supportive family and make a positive difference in the world. Cyoa for this feel?
>I should explain that: 1. Psychic Power = Unique powers that are unique to each Psychic's view of the world and how their brain imprints itself on the world, this cannot be replicated by others because it's defined by the person that experienced the world.>All the powers have their unique system mechanics and drawbacks and feats. So it's not just one is objectively better, it's you wanting to use a power that you want to define yourself. They are all pretty strong in their own right too.Why do retards think you can have immortality in Italics new Psychic CYOA in the first place when the description for Psychic powers basically explain that they have nothing to do with immortality?
OC CANCELLED DUE TO NO LONGER BEING ABLE TO FIND IMAGES
>>97312969i mean kinda take your pick theres a bunch of them out there like that, heck when i did the isekai dark overlord cyoa or the dawn of a demon lord cyoa that was pretty much the entirety of my goal was to have some kind of positive impact on the world and have some friends and family i could spend my time with, granted yes it was going to be difficult cause demon lord and dark overlord stuff and whatnot but like, still didnt stop me from trying and maybe even succeeding, granted i also went for stuff that i thought would be fun to do like for doadl doing mass produced automaton and golem factories and a mega fortress the size of an entire modern city, or for isekai dark overlord where i did lizardmen armored up to the nines and carrying crossbows cause i love lizardmen, i love armor, and i love crossbows, but still, at the end of the day i just was trying to have a positive impact on things while also trying to have fun with what i was doing
>>97313037Learn how to use AI unironically.One of the very few good things that came out of it was more CYOAs.
>>97313037Pinterest is literally the shittiest place possible to look for images.
>>97313066Are you just saying that because it doesn't have your 2D animes plastered all over?
>>97313078Lots of websites have bad raps of their own. Normally you can can spare yourself from them by choosing not to use or look at them. Unfortunately, a little something called SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION has allowed Pinterest to deny everyone of one of the rare few simple and self-evident mercies of the internet. Imagine browsing an image search for "exploding spaceship background". Good outcome: You find the high definition work of the artist themself within their portfolio and happily close the window with a downloaded image and even an attribution. Less good: You found it on a reposting website that might not have the artist's other works, but at least you have reverse image search through the same engine or sauceNAO.And then there's pinterest, built by algorithmic witchcraft to outcompete with simpler websites while being worse by design. You cannot escape from it, for no matter how long you refuse to sign onto such a garbage aggregator, it will continue to butt itself into your inquisitions, deny you of the ability to RIGHT CLICK to SAVE, COPY, or SEARCH a picture as a function freely built into HTML itself. It's the equivalent of being donated a campaign newsletter disguised as a dollar bill, what could have been beautiful and beneficial in the way understood to all people of the world has only been the vehicle of a mental virus. And the name of that virus is PINTEREST.You're already opting out from it and it's still terrorizing you! It's the content aggregator version of a stalker, there is no escaping from its cyberbullying, none of us are free as long as its server fans continue to breathe! You can leave any garbage website behind except for PINTEREST.
>>97313078Correct and it also destroys the quality of the images uploaded there.
>>97313037LMAO, pinterest is already full of AIslop. AI will be eating its own excrements and excreting them all over again for Surinical's enjoyment
>>97312969Lamentations.

>>97313153It's funny because Deathseeds are being kidnapped by the gigalich for renewable soul batteries, or they're being redeemed by the player. In Radiant, a son isn't Sauron, he's Princess Peach.
>>97313078It has grown progressively worse over the years.
>>97313167>edgy teenager Son>worried but benign PaladinWhat's the 'mother' role in that logic?
>>97313167I'd like a Deathseed CYOA. Sorta like Entropist in a more classic fantasy setting and without the whole family fetishism
>>97313184>family fetishismObsessed.
>>97313186Elaborate? The author was definitely obsessed with whole family values thing. Not that I hate it (I picked True Son like a good boy should) but IMO it skews the entire cosmology in a weird direction (the whole baby souls not being fit for harvesting because there's god-entity who likes babies to grow up and all)

>>97313561
>>97313522>>97313523I always wanted to make a proper build for this but I always get distracted halfway. I need to find the magic in it to get some motivation I guess.
>>97312837me are !*!*!*!*, i found the cyoa in the 'sci fi' genre in the allsync but it wasnt filed under my name, i dont really mark my cyoas that well beyond putting my name in the corner and i think most people dont realize its supposed to be the author. either way the cyoa didnt seem to be too popular, mostly because people didnt seem interested when it doesnt have enough personal powers involved, which is understandable. i only get around to making cyoa when i get really autistic about one specific concept and the idea of a cool badass scifi merc group is what got me going here
>>97313597It wasn't popular because it's "5 strength, no explanation" type of retarded.
>>97313597forgot link, here's the rest of space mercs on imgchesthttps://imgchest.com/p/bp45mdwdqy5
>>97313600this too can be true
>>97313576Try playing on realistic mode.It can be incredibly frustrating to have your plans ruined, but your failures can lead you to take interesting paths you otherwise never would've considered choosing. It also increases replay value.
>>97313597>>97312837Nice to see you here!But it's awkward to say now, but with>He came back recently and made something too, but I don't see it on the allsync, does anyone have that?I actually meant unDEFINED not you. unDEFINED came back and made a post-apocalyptic mecha cyoa, black text and black-and-white images on white bg, sometime in early 2025 maybe?
>>97313623>Try playing on realistic mode.That's the one thing I will never do. It's CYOA, if I have to roll it's not a CYOA anymore.
>>97313597I am one anon who enjoyed this CYOA a lot and I plan to play this CYOA at least a dozen more times :)I made the space nomads build btw: https://desuarchive.org/tg/thread/96741961/#96744456Although I am sad I didn't add more exposition to my build. I have a really hard time coming up with things to say/expressing my imagination with words.
>>97313666>unDEFINED came back and made a post-apocalyptic mecha cyoa, black text and black-and-white images on white bg, sometime in early 2025
>>97313740Eh?Did I get it wrong twice? Neither !*!*!*!* nor unDEFINED?There's not that many post-apocalyptic black-on-white mecha cyoas out there. It let you choose the level of societal decay, and you were one of few mecha users in the world.
>>97313666>>97313756!*!* again, i made a cyoa that sounds a lot like that called 'Ubiquitous Mech Pilot CYOA'. unfortunately i dont have it backed up and cant find it on the archives so it may be lost media if it is the one you're talking about. i had a whole section where you could choose how society had formed and people didn't like it because they (validly) critiqued that they had no reason to not pick the ones that just made things as best as possible for them, since i didnt provide any incentive to choose otherwise
>>97313515>>97313522>>97313523Where is the magic? You guys say it's there but I don't see it.
https://imgchest.com/p/lqyelbxlq4d
>>97313855I'm glad at least that my brain's not broken and it really existed!
>>97313856IIRC one of the academic paths involved assassinating competitors with dark magic. Although even that was IIRC phrased so that if you really wanted, you could interpret it less than literally.

>>97313920That's my main problem with that cyoa, it says it's low fantasy but there is no fantasy. It's all medieveal interpretations of shit instead of real magic. I'm pretty sure the sailor path is the only one with clear supernatural options and even those could be superstition.

>>97313997The book reward from school is clearly magic.

>>97313434>has already betrayed me by making the magical girl CYOA.You clearly did not play it
>>97313442You don't have any.
>>97314492You must understand anon, he was forced to take the girl option, there was no other way, than be the girl. Are you saying anon choose the girl option out of his own volition due to some thinly suppressed BTG desires, that would be preposterous, surely Rake "forced" him to be the girl.
>>97313442Which cyoa was this?
>>97314603Luminary.
>>97314306Italics is a black, but he is also a weeb. His true kin in spirit is the iconic anime race (wasians with light skin tones, large eyes, and small noses). This race will end replacing a good chunk of full-blooded asians in the far future, and it will be 100% voluntary on their part. When Italics dies, he will be reborn as one due to his love for anime.
>>97314640Beautiful sentiment
>>97312234>Newfags may think imgchestposting is even the cyoag standard, can't blame them. But just a few years ago nobody on cyoag did that. The practice started on cyoar, I think.They had several "high concept"/art heavy cyoas come out in close succession, with page sizes way beyond /trash's 4mb limit. At roughly the same time, some anon latched on to the idea and started arguing that imagechest-only posts should be the standard for any longer cyoa.(As if /cyoar is too busy to accomodate a longer cyoa or two . . .sigh)
>>97313037OpenAI doesn't have the money to buy Pintrest. They've got almost $1.5 trillion spending commitments already, and if they made any move on Pintrest, it would start a bidding war.(In a very real sense, they ARE the AI bubble.)If they weren't already up to their eyeballs in debt, it might make some sense. But if I was Sam Altman (head of OpenAI), I'd wake up screaming every night over the debt payments headed my way, as is.
>>97314619was that a gil cyoa?
>>97314082His CYOAs have a lot of reading required for the question of 'What kind of x would you like to be?' If the role you're forced into had more freedom, the reading would feel less like a list of what you what you can't and won't do.
>>97314789Sure, why not.
Gil doesn't exist. When will you people learn?
>>97313037I used to use pinterest for image finding because it did not suffer shitty anime hentai slop, but it really has become a hellhole of AI art. Just despicable.

Fuck that shit, I want adventures and exploitation. Not to be confined in some boring place where there are no adventures and battles. At least give me the option to ascend to become an angel and allow me to travel down to the mortal plane and adventure....
>>97315494
>>97315415Most ironic name of the century
>>97315496>Your body will not suffer the physical ravages of age while you possess your powers>if only it had immortality
>>97315496It technically has immortality if you continuously recast Deathward on yourself every 24 hours, it's not even biological immortality, but the total unkillable kind.
>>97315432PaladK(IN)O
>>97315527with metamagic: act you could even automate it so you won't die if you forget or are unconscious
>>97315517>Your body will not suffer the physical ravages of age while you possess your powersYou left out this part, you deceitful fuck>and you may life for hundreds or even thousands of years if you manage to avoid being killed that long.
>>97315527Do you still age?
>>97315545One (1) instance of anti-magc and you're SIL
>>97315553You don't age by default
>>97315547But that doesn't contradict anything. That's just average life expectancy for Paladins, no? They live dangerous lives.
>>97315559Just pick Magic Immunity. You should pick it regardless because of how powerful it is anyway
>>97315562skill issue unironically
>>97315562>But that doesn't contradict anythingIt would say you could live forever if you avoid being killed that long. But instead it says may live for hundreds or even thousands of years if you manage to avoid being killed that long, meaning your life span has a limit.
>>97315583Author clarify please
>>97315496There's immortality if you wish for that to dawn, obviously you need 500 points but that's a skill issue and living forever to continue fighting evil would probably be fine for dawn
>>97315607Thats assuming dawn would grant it
>>97315607Is that after the cyoa ends? Do you even need oaths in that case? Why not potentialmaxx and take minimal oaths in that case?
>>97315615>Is that after the cyoa ends?Dawns "power unlock" is an explicitly omnipotent wish ("miracle") that you can use for whatever you want
>>97315617I could go for a burger rn
>>97315615>potentialmaxxNo such thing in this cyoa. Mirror + Faelith combo is the closest, but it can only work for Techniques.
>>97315432Tldr…….Cyoa openings should NEVER have that much textEven Black Magic isn’t that obnoxious in its opening
>>97315680not as obnoxios as the oathes.
>>97315680>hes a readlet
>>97315657
>>97315663How do you unlock Dawn's wish then? Take every single Oath?
>>97315722Just most of them.
>>97315680It's not even very long, it's just in an overly large font. And it's without concrete images to surround it.A textdump in the beginning of a CYOA benefits from being surrounded by concrete relevant images.Like look at this, the 1st page of PPPP. A really long intro text, but it's accompanied by:1. a concrete image of your location2. a concrete image of the person speaking to you, who is also the central NPC of the CYOAEnough to summon concrete mental imagery of (You) going though the intro of your adventure. In a sense it's really simple: when you have a big block of text, put multiple concrete relevant images next to it. Maybe tastes differ but this alone would improve so many CYOAs.
>>97315722>>97315728you can get like 100pts from selling companions/skills/items cant you?
>Even Black Magic isn’t that obnoxious in its openingOof what a burn
>>97315730>Like look at this, the 1st page of PPPP.
>>97315680>>97315730ENTER ItalicsGOD
>>97315738thats way more obnoxious what is anon on about, like a solid wall of text
If you make fun of the God cyoa you are going to Hell where you belong.
If you hide behind god to justify your weak artistic sensibilities you are going to the inky abyss, where everyone goes
>>97315752>but I was basedGod does not care whether one is based or not based
>>97315732Only 95 and that's if you take no companions if you want Dawn you will only get 65
>>97315833what provoked so much vitriol about the oc
>>97315609I doubt Dawn will reject her faterhusband's request.
>>97315839It’s Christian born again garbage
>>97315839We are True Sons. This is enemy propaganda.
>>97315839I don't like cyoas that lock ressources behind good behavior.
Please stop baiting about radiant
>>97315839No immortality
>>97315869It's funny to see atheist realize that as fish they took for granted the christian society they grew up in of course it wasn't perfect but in their attempt to replace it with something better they pulled the rug from under their own feet.>>97315839Anon does not like it when power comes with a price so pact OC is generally unpopular for that reason doubly so if the oaths for him to act like a good person.
>lolcow samefag shitting on another cyoaEntropist really buckbroke your pozzed ass, didn't it
>>97315891>oathsCome on. Just pick the ones fitting your usual behaviors and you're still uber-powerful.
>Entroons can't take being at a severe type disadvantage against paladins.This is sad to see...
>>97315869>>97315891While some argue that religion is what causes good people to do bad things, what good there is to be found in religion isn’t exactly unique to religion, either. We didn’t dissect the recipe to religion to see what was good or positive about it. The atheist crowd looked at religion very un-scientifically. In a world of materialist logic, that’s ironic.
YOU WILL LEAVE THE PALADINS ALONE
>>97315918This shit actually really infuriated me in Pathfinder and 3.5>play necromancer>cleric can just positive energy the fuck out of your undead>paladin is fucking immune to every save-or-die because of busted saves and he can also negate DR of your undead easily, plus he one-shots you>raise a big monster>cleric has a spell that just instadestroys itFucking forces of good deserve a nuclear holocaust
Make a new thread I don’t like this one
>>97314726>AI bubble is bursting>econimic crisis in coming>but AI fuckers will have to eat their wordsBitersweet.
>>97315346>LuvynaMarry, sex and breed>ValerieMarry, sex and breed>ChandaraMarry, sex and breed>EloiseMarry, sex, breed and run away
>>97315919The problem is that atheists didn't even realize that their whole moral framework is christian in nature/origin the whole reason for equality being a big deal is the idea of everyone being equal before god.Otherwise you get Jewish style divine bloodlines or Muslim christians are worth half a Muslim thing.
>>97315927Makes sense imo generally liches have a wide arrange of powers while paladins are much more limited in scope but are highly specialized in fighting certain enemies.
>>97315680out of all the problems cyoa has, this is not one of them
>>97315955Fucking coward
>nigger really thinks him whining would force authors to include immortality optionsI'm doing the exact opposite. The more you whine the farther from immortality you are because giving immortality to a terrible person and a faggot to boot is a sin
>>97315842why, youre not exactly in a position of power overher
>>97316035I am sure Dawn won't reject anons request to be a little girl.
>>97316030Look, I am fine with one obsessive partner. I am not fine with said partner having a thing for knives and medical knowledge... could be the typical case of "you looked at other girl, your ball privileges are finished" while you were sleeping
>>97315856>entrosissies mad that they get absolutely destroyed by paladins and have to be on their best behavior lest they get soul-fired
>>97315919>>97315968>>97316026Western culture isn’t built on Christianity, Christianity is an outward expression of what Western culture IS.You can change the names of the saints and the names of the unknowable deity and the rules/taboos, but generally speaking it’s roughly going to remain the same, follow the same grooves. Again, and for emphasis, it’s important to realize that the West isn’t “built” on Christianity as le “cultural Christians” claim, it isn’t “foundational”, it’s quite the opposite relationship- the determining factor is the subconscious set of beliefs, biases, heuristics, thought patterns, prejudices. etc etc.This is what actually matters, and that which, so long as “The West” exists, will always bring about Christianity in some form or other, regardless of what we call it.Pic related.
>>97316033getting immortality stated directly for free is boring anyways, a true immortalityfag will cobble together immortality from the available powers.
>>97316068This. I'm an immortalityfag and I love CYOAs where you have to use powers and small snippets of lore creatively to become immortal or at least try to. Like the advanced magical rings CYOA which has a lot of that kind of autism
>>97316026People vastly underestimate just how much biology, the psychology, matters when it comes to religion.
>>97316052>little girl paladinbased
>>97315839the powers are not really yours and can be completely lost
>>97316091was that not assumed with the premise "you are a paladin"? falling is like, half the thing
>>97316091Same can be said about Isekai Bounty Hunt
>>97316064>Western culture isn’t built on Christianity, Christianity is an outward expression of what Western culture IS.This is transparently backwards considering you know pagans?They were the native expression of the west if you think about it.>>97316026Anon it's obvious that Christianity is the foundation of western thought hell the constitution would never have been written as is without Christian values.You are a fish that doesn't believe water exists.>>97316035Why would I need to pressure her?I doubt she will say no, why would she?
>>97315428>gets mad they lose knowledge of science>forgets that most cyoa gift you the ignorance of not know that you wouldn't be able to speak the language of the world, not know the customs, be unaware of basic medieval survival skills you dont know because you're a pampered millennial and instantly be ostracized in the worldlmaolol
>>97316026>If it is I will genuinely go to Japan with EA, because they are actively fighting against islam coming to their country.Japan? Hm. Um. Immigration is going to ruin Japan. Their traditions cannot be upheld and even their hunters are aging and going away and now they’re being attacked by their own bears (but it’s okay—the bears don’t know what they’re up against—the Japanese are EATING them) They’re copying everything we do but 10 years behind. It’s 2% foreign now, but in 10-20 years? Just wait.
>>97316099>This is transparently backwards considering you know pagans?Their psyche dissolved out and got replaced with something better. Pagans lost the war in the psychosphere. Similar to how everyone was a retarded animist before anything else. No more! Go back to your forest hippy.
>>97316117I refuse to believe the human collective is something we can mold
>>97316099The Christian mindset is the soul of the white race. Without Christianity we would not have accomplished more than ninety percent of all scientific and artistic inventories since the Renaissance period according to that one controversial book. Get rid of the Christian mindset and we regress back into a lesser fractured barbaric ape like race where we refuse to see nature whole and holistically. The Prisca Theologia during the Renaissance was pivotal to the development of science by providing a theological justification and impetus for the study of the natural world. The doctrine held that a single, true, primordial wisdom was granted by God to humanity in antiquity, a truth that predated specific religions and was embedded within ancient texts and the physical universe itself. All religions contained essences of this truth, however diluted.
>>97316134NTA but while I agree that human nature exists it is influenced by culture too.At least it changes how that nature is expressed for example men are being denied their nature at the moment and this pushes men to express their masculinity in alternative ways like playing vidya.
Janitors do your job and clean up this thread from off topic /pol/ rants.
>>97316095no it cannot, 2 completely different things
>>97316168off-topic /pol/ rants are the soul of cyoag
>>97315432>basically everyone dies eventually, eternity is a long timean actual quote said by the dickhead author
>>97316167I think the point is that culture won’t necessarily change what’s already biologically ingrained. Muslims in Indonesia are a lot different from the Muslims in the Middle East. The Japanese adopting the West made it, and did it, their own way. You can argue it’s cultural- which it would be- but I think it’s disingenuous to say it’s solely that.
I can save you. Just accept page 5 as the best time to make a new thread.
>>97316168You homosexual?
>>97316211Nay, there are 39 images remaining and yet more posts to be made. I don't care about the politics or whinefags, soon they'll calm down and the thread will return to balance. It's as predictable as the eb and flow of the tides.
>>97316055>absolutely destroyed by paladinsits not even the same setting, you retard
>>97316033you have no oc
>>97316305too long did not read
>>97316270The only thing that actually matters in this case is the bump limit. Threads tend to rot if you stay in them for too long beyond it. Really massive OC can defy this rule, sure, but otherwise it's almost inevitable, I've seen it so often...
>>97316320I want to breed angel women
I will give anon immortality it's basically efforthless on my part so long as he is willing to repay the favor...If you know what I mean.

It's better keeping all the expectations low>>97316391>>97316391>>97316391
>>97316305then why do all the christians i know get mind bogglingly enraged at me when homosexuality comes up as a topicalso technically you dont want to fuck angel women, just winged women, angels are actually supposed to be the like interlocking wheels and eldritch abomination looking things not the human with wings looking people, granted some people do want to fuck the biblical angels, and technically angels have become the humanoid variant in popular media so technically not wrong, but eh, semanticsalthough, i do have to think the wings would be a pain to deal with, sure they can maybe be used as handles but so can alot of other things, and wings do make things a bit awkward in bed especially if they try and lay down on them without a way to like, get rid of them or smth, and not just ripping the wings off cause then they wouldnt have wings anymore and then youre just fucking a regular woman again
>>97316396>then why do all the christians i know get mind bogglingly enraged at me when homosexuality comes up as a topicBecause the individual uses god to avoid having to justify their moral and logical naturesEveryone finds themself in the bible, because there is nothing else worth findingAnd so each and every generation in god finds a reason to kill or not kill or whatever else they wanted>also technically you dont want to fuck angel women, just winged womenNo, the wings aren't what do it for meIf the fastest way to express it is angel women then it's angel woman
>>97315590Paladins DO still age. They're not truly ageless beings, they simply don't suffer the negative consequences of aging (so a Paladin that has become "an old man" would still be as strong and quick as he was in his prime). They do, however, age a lot slower than normal humans, closer to something like elves (and even then, high fantasy elves) than mortal man. There is still an upper limit there; a paladin isnt going to last for eternity even if nothing kills him (although generally speaking, a paladin is likely to retire or get gotten by something before they find out whatever that absolute limit is)>>97315607Dawn could obviously leave you immortal (like, true immortal, not just "unaging", miracles ARE essentially omnipotent and she could have you lasting well past the point where heat death begins to claim whatever universe you decide to live in). But the question is," would she?" and a sub-question is "why would you even want to be immortal?" Remember, God is real (for some value of God), why would they want you to be/why would you want to be forever separated from them? >but its to fight the good fight forever!Anon, forever is a long time. Are you sure that's a check you want to cash? Do you really want to sign up for an ETERNITY of fighting evil? That might be a noble goal, but in reality its probably too much for basically anyone. >>97316194Im not sure what part of that is supposed to be objectionable, rather than "blatantly true".
>>97315387
>>97316194>basically everyone dies eventually, eternity is a long timeYes. Basic fact of life. That how souls grow more powerful over the countless eons.
>>97317546Not sure why I never thought about it until now, but the author really should've used a projection where a grid would result in equal sized areas on the actual globe.
>>97317600Fuck you. Canada BIG
