>>
>>97417165
Hell, scratch that, pick a random unrelated CYOA, you can probably build a better dragon there than in Dragonfail.
>>
>>97417132
Each dragon can be killed off by some rando's wish, the next time a dragon appears. The smart preventive strategy is to kill off literally everyone so there's noone left to make a wish, or settle into an invisible and inconspicuous role so noone would bother wishing for your death.

I remember Tok mentioned that Dragonfall's world and two of his Overpowered Isekai worlds were planets in the same solar system, which wasn't mentioned anywhere in either. Strange but semi-interesting. I feel like if Tok dedicated himself, he could make a CYOA to dominate the thread once again. I doubt Hentai Heroine will go anywhere outside of troon circles on reddit and /trash/. He's capable of more, but at the same time is shackled by his own mental illnesses and dogshit lack of skill at FPS games. Sad.

>>
>>97417204
You know what's even more retarded? during one session when Tok was roasted by the thread (as usual) he let slip that magic in the cyoa was corruptive and evil and will result in the end of world if overused, aka a death trap. Thereby invalidating an entire section of his cyoa. That's the level of retard we're talking about here.

Noice.

Its not balance related, but the layout for this cyoa is also absolutely dogshit
Also: jesus christ the dragons are not at all balanced against each other. Compare a northern dragon to a western dragon or southern dragon, what the fuck.

The more you look, the worse it gets. Absolute travesty of a cyoa on every level.

Its a cyoa that actively punishes you for engaging with it.

the first "layer" of an endbringer's body is as of aluminium alloy, each layer afterwards doubling in density, so you'd need an attack that can eat through multiple galaxies's worth of mass or bypass durability in order to do fucking anything, on top of that, you are also going to need a way to bypass typical endbringer mega bullshit like behemot's dynakinesis or simurgh's psychic song
normally, you would need multiple B+ powers to actually stand a real chance, but getting jujutsu sorcery with higuruma's CT actually fullfill's both of those conditions, and leaves you with 300 points for a 30 hour training, a full semester college course on how to not be a mega shitter
starting off, normally you would also need a way to track down and actually get to whenever an endbringer is hiding at any given moment, which would be impossible under one's own power, but the protectorate had a fucking direct feed to behemot in the earth's mantle and simurgh's in low orbit, you can get someone to build you a drill and an airplane to go kick some syllicone-based lifeform ass
endbringer's are stated to "not be alive, and have never been alive" which means that they selectively choose whether to be or not be subjected to powers as either a living thing or an inanimate object, BUT, deadly sentencing does not discriminate based on a sure-hit that locks onto cursed energy, which determines whether a thing is "alive" or not under the rules of jujutsu, but rather, imposes a binding vow on nonviolence which can target anything it wants to, once there, since most can't actually fucking talk, you can speedrun a trial into confiscation+death penalty, and since an endbringer's powers work as a sort of "overlay" over their base physiology, acting as a single thing like a parahuman's rather than multiple sets of abilities, you can insta cripple any of them into big, slow rocks, which then you can subsonically rush and rekt with the executioner's sword, repeat twenty times and you got it

>>97417609
i was working off on the asumption that, since deadly sentencing is not a "sure-kill" domain but a "rules based" domain that it would be possible to tweak it's barrier in order to include certain inanimate things as long as they can be liberally subjected to the rules of the domain, like an extension technique, expanding it's target from "targeted humans and curses" to "animate things capable of standing trial," which can also make it target heavenly restriction users, cursed corpses and shikigami, and outside of jujutsu also probably things like robots, undead and an endrbinger, which in the end is just a big pile of rocks that is capable of loosely going along the high priestess shard's directives
endbringers are also quite famous for causing multiple mass murders on the regular, then doozing off for a whole year while they wait their turn to do it again, if you get a trial and the technique picks up some bullshit like violating a nation's airspace instead of genocide, the universe didn't actually want you to live, either way, you can binding vow that shit right out beforehand if you find a good condition

Really? well why don't you post these "better, fresher and more interesting cyoas"? instead of losing your shit over something innocuous like a single page of a cyoa?. Its simple, you don't give a shit about cyoa discussion you just want to seethe. And to answer your question, its because most new cyoas are objectively dogshit compared to the old kino.
>Why don't we just post tok shit over and over, no need to seethe.

Theres no larger scale cosmic plots and shit? Thats almost certainly not true, theres people like the last trying to become a god and shit, abraxis and its cosmic conquests are a recurring threat.

>/tg/ supports PDFs. You can export PDFs from some programs, or use online PDF tools like https://smallpdf.com/jpg-to-pdf to convert your images to PDF. Some people dislike PDFs. They have advantages: they're easy to upload, and don't take up a lot of space in the thread. However, they're awkward to scroll through when saved, take a while to load and process, and can cause difficulties for those on mobile devices. Typically, they downgrade the quality of your CYOA by a large amount when used to compress larger CYOAs. I would only recommend using PDFs for lengthly text-based CYOAs, as they aren't meant for fancy imagery.

Continent:

Species:
>Salamander

Dragonfall calls itself a “dragon” CYOA yet it has the option to play as a person without any reptile features, or in other words, an otherkin. A delusional wizard. I decided to ignore the premise the hard way, starting by choosing the least draconic of all real dragons on the list. I will do this because not only does Dragonfall not know what a ‘dragon’ is, it also doesn’t know that dragons should never stand above Human beings in any hierarchy. Yes, that does happen all the time in fantasy, for the same reason that more obviously evil deeds are all over the place in those stories. Sinful rarely means impossible. Unfortunately, I also had the issue where my immortal essence would still be molested beyond recognition even if My build had entirely human features, a problem whose solution will be explained here.

Size:
>Small
“Small”, IE, the size of the giants, to show you that their strength outmatches the limits of a normal person. Which is customary for werewolf characters.
Color:
>Gray
Lots of other natural colors are options, I picked this one more for the personality than the breath attack, thought it’s really funny that it also matches a child’s fairy tale.
Breath:
>Spirit Breath 3
Werewolves are not supposed to have breath attacks, hoooowever this isn’t an attack.

Features:
>Tail 2
>Fur 3
>Senses 3 (Hearing)
>Crawling 4
>Swimming 1
>Claws 2
>Fertility 2
And here are all the features needed to redesign a draconic character into a werewolf, except that she’s still oviparous, which is a bonus because only weirdos entertain the idea of pregnant werewolves. Would the baby transform with its mother? This question has haunted Me for seventeen years of My life.
>Breath 3
>Magic Resistance 2
>Magic 1
>Lungs 3
Some other stuff.
>>
>>97418397
>Enduring Features
This is practical if a little gross.
>Humanoid Hands
This option seems to be synonymous with bipedalism, there’s no written text here demanding that you have to walk on all fours if you’re a dragon, and specifically if you’re a salamander.
>Adrenal Glands
Rage!

Diet:
>Meat
>Sea Creatures
>Telegraphed Breath
It’s not an attack, so I can’t care.

Spells:
>Mystic Spear 2 10
>Blink 2
These are for having an efficient way of taking down a large, flying enemy.
>Humanoid Form
Guess which species of monster +does+ have human forms as a fantasy custom?
>Spirit Form 2
>Bestow Immortality 2
>Runic Bond 3

Companions:
>Vemoura
The free wish is absolute immunity to any superhuman or supernatural predictive ability for myself and all my companions. Itztacotak won’t know what it hit it...s petty tyrants.
>Celestine
Granted for free, she gets hitched with Celebron who reinforces her walls, since I've decided that they're my OTP.
>Tiana
Not only are those people restored to their lives, so was everyone whose soul was eaten in the history of Elderia. Also, it’s now impossible to taint, corrode, or remodel a soul anymore, so this is the last Dragonfall on the history of the planet. There will be no more opportunities for another “main character” to usurp the great chain of being.
>Zep
There’s originally a pragmatic reason for this, I’m not removing her because I’m not strapped for Ur-Embers. She can be Delathwyn’s sidekick.
>Delathwyn
I do not know if granting her wish in good faith, no strings attached, is going to have negative effects.
>>
>>97418402
>Jolka
Remember that these kinds of wishes are limited omnipotence where the first participant, the grantee, gives the granter a window to do anything as long as the outcome fulfills their given terms. She wished to meet a man who can honorably defeat her. This wish will be fulfilled by turning her into the dragon described by this Dragonfall build, and myself into a dragonhunter with the physique, skill, and items needed to subdue her in the following fight. Trade offer accepted: your affection for power and humanity. Myself refuses to let any outside force remodel my ghost, she wouldn’t care about the same thing if she was wishing upon a dragonfall in exchange for an utterly unknown and likely horrific price. This is a fair trade. You see, I was also playing Dragonfall with the intent to build a furry wife, specifically because the author tried to block Us from doing that in the most obvious and lazy way. I wanted at first to do that in an equally obvious and lazy way, until I thought, “wouldn’t it be funnier to break the spirit of the rules in accordance with its letter?” I decided that the wish will be fulfilled by an otherwise impossible event, with both parties of the fight changed to fulfill it, while otherwise matching the spirit and word of the event.
>Brynjar
And both of these-
>Byrnhildr
-are just more strength in numbers.

>Itotia
Eww. I have to answer this one no matter my intentions. Granted, she has been retroactively promoted from slave to Jolka’s third retainer, without any of the mental or physical effects of her capvitity, remembering nothing of it except that that she wished to never have any experience with a certain person whose name has been stricken from her memory.
>Acalan
Granted! He will be fated to do many good deeds that will include failing to preserve the sovereignty of dragons away from their Human masters, dying alongside his father in the last stand against my revolution!
>Vesilia, Illenwyn, Vanrir, Toli, Lezeli
All of them receive their wishes without being taken as companions or any other twists.
>Takal
*Good laughter.*
>Aamontep
Revenge has finally arrived after all these centuries!
>Ren
No, there won't be any antagonizing his old master who knew noblesse oblige.
>Fuji
I don't need to explain what's happening with the sword companion.

>No pacts.
These are not fanatical egalitarian space aliens, they are fake and gay thought parasites that myself refuses to heed. Not even to antagonize Tzeentch into coming into the physical realm to experience permadeath after we’re done liberating Taco Time.

Oh, what about my wife and children? First of all, they're obviously /werewolves/. And second of all, they're also Human, so as long as they obey themselves by being free willed and virtuous, they're obeying a Human.
What about my wife?
Her wish was for a man that can kick her ass. Does that sound like a gender-equal marriage to You?

then there's also khonsu who can also teleport on a global scale which might give you some trouble but should be doable.

finally there tohu who is a wildcard and depending on which powers it copies it might counter your build.

It is but like all specialized martial arts like boxing that only punch, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, judo and wrestling that only grapple. Taekwondo only or "mainly" kick. It's an incomplete system and needs to be balanced out with other martial arts to shine. But it is efficient when Taekwondo is complemented with techniques that it lack just like all the other specialtst martial arts I mentioned. Videos realted

>psychic abilities
Iiiii don't remember it very well but I don't remember Human beings having psychokinetic powers without being ascended. "Ascended" is a science fiction way of saying "dead and in the afterlife" for the most part.

Very yes. Most of the galaxy is ruled by feudal warlords that abuse thousand year old technology to LARP as gods, it's even closer to a standard fantasy setting than Star Wars, but the main characters are modern people instead of fake pagans or fake daoists.
>>
>>97418525
that is like, actually game breaking in some scenarios, like imagine just bringing the biological ability to produce mana to raxanix and utterly destroy the governments monopoly on mana, or being on any of the dragon fall continents while wielding one or more black arms from calendria which might be enough to go god slaying, etc etc

My plan is to team up with Guiliman in the indomitous crusade, I should be vastly stronger than any primarch or demon prince thus I will dedicate myself to a direct battlefield role especially against powerful chaos and xenos champions, I should be able of easily dispatching anything short of the Emperor, once I get my chapter going I am focussing my efforts on the orks and chaocucks hopefully giving more breathing room for the Imperium to recover from the damage done by the cicatrix maledictum.

Why? Radiant is not a cyoa. The base vows guarantee you'll be poor, disrespected and unable to defend yourself from abuse. If a horde of refugees approach your hovel where you're resting injured after fighting demons you'll be forced to bring them in, give them all your shit, feed them and care for them even if you're near dead. If some spoiled noble boy gets a sprain from kicking his slaves you must heal him as he calls you a fag because you must be neutral and can't discriminate. It promises that you'll be a knight in shining armor when you'll most likely will have to give away all your shit the moment someone else needs the money. It's a poverty slave cyoa.

I'm not sure there is a proper mommy in jrpg traitor at least, despite the large number of characters. Morana I guess is the closest, but in personality it is Ianthe however narratively I don't think that she would work. I mean getting with her wouldn't be a challenge, but getting her to be your mommy that does everything for you while you do nothing isn't really an option. If that is what someone wants out of a mommy character it's Morana, or you could maybe make a familiar that is a pylon take the role but a single pylon is a bit under-powered given the situation.
>>97419509
I don't see how she fits the mommy archetype, but I guess someone might be willing to settle for her given that you can setup a narrative where she wins and she is a possible mentor, as well as there being the trick to romancing her.

One thing that mildly confuses me in traitor is that some characters are stated to be open to somewhat casual sex but are also romance options. So does that mean, storywise, you're meant to romance and fuck, or they can just be shagged as friends?
Yes technically the answer is

This world I've arrived at, is dying. And though I may not have the power to wave my hands and take all the suffering out of this world, I certainly don't have to sit idle as the world burns. Perhaps with enough patience, these realms can bloom once again.

For that matter, why does the hero's party even let me join them when I have a brand no one's seen before? Why are they even surprised in the end when the person with the weird brand that's never been seen before turns out to not be an actual member of the hero's party? Am I dumb or are these very basic questions about how the betrayal scenario would even work not answered anywhere?

Titles aren't official. They are just vague descriptions. Canonically the reason these people join in is that they have a mark (Beauty, Life etc). So you have a mark of Nothing, which means you are chosen which means you sre trustworthy Somewhat.
People are conditioned to believe in the Auspices so they don't really question that. Those that may be in the party are one of the following
- faithful
- naive
- don't care about chosen bs and treat the party like a merc squad
- literal kids who don't know better
- have their own agendas
- choose to trust you anyway
So they go along with it. A few have certain ideas, but prefer to stay back and watch.
Plus even someone being chosen as Overlord is something that varies very greatly case by case, so people have higher tolerance for weird shit happening.
>>
>>97420051
Hmm. Your answer helps but I still don't feel like it fully solves the issue. There's a lot of characters where believing in you doesn't really make sense. You've covered that response with your catch-all cop-out "they choose to trust you anyway" there, but it's a little hard to believe in every case. It feels like the lore that's been established works against the premise for the reasons I mentioned previously. If the lore simply didn't have individual brands per role, for example, but just a generic brand that marks people as being members of the hero's party, there wouldn't be any issue. As is, the other members have a good reason to be immediately suspicious of me. Especially if I were to pick a person like Ood as a party member - why don't the rest of the party members take notice of how he talks about me? Normally it would be fine for Ood to just be a weirdo and everyone else ignores it, but when you add in the fact I'm already an anomaly from the first impression, it breaks my suspension of disbelief.

dunno what i expected from loreslop, of course if you think about the lore for more than two seconds it all falls apart

>There's a lot of characters where believing in you doesn't really make sense. You've covered that response with your catch-all cop-out "they choose to trust you anyway" there, but it's a little hard to believe in every case.
It perfectly aligns with their personalities.
>>
>characterslop
>personalityslop
>>
>>97420127
you got to consider that believing that the system could be wrong, that the brand could be falsified would probably be quite heretical as it would call into question the legitimacy of the whole system. If mistakes could happen, that the system could be broken, it would create a massive loss of trust in the institution and because such a thing never happened before one couldn't expect it. Its one of the reasons why this betrayal is so powerful it erodes the trust in the system itself, if it can be tampered with? How can we trust it won't happen again or already happened before? What if the next betrayer just replaces one of the existing brands instead of being a seperate extra brand? Is the system truly just? What if it falsely assigns an overlord?
>>
>>97420150
Given that you have an unknown brand and the hero's party is one member larger than usual, it doesn't make sense for many of the intelligent and experienced characters to not put even a little bit of effort into keeping you at arm's length or investigating your intentions, especially if a Pylon is constantly making reference to you being a trap by the old gods (Onesiphorus & Motte). How could you possibly pull off your dramatic betrayal when the premise is that you're suspicious from the start?
>>
>>97420192
>More excuses
It's just slop, it's hard to believe because it's just unbelievable, stop dickriding the author
>>

It's established in many character backstories that not everyone believes in the Auspices.

>How could you possibly pull off your dramatic betrayal when the premise is that you're suspicious from the start?
By being good at earning people's trust, usually. That's what Hero's Journey is for.

Those were made to you, do you really believe that they would do that shit to other people and risk people knowing what is actually happening? Those that know what is going on are not about to fuck with the game, the literal god of death is watching.
>>
>>97420208
The hero's journey is a long process. The problem is that you're suspicious before you've even had a moment to ingratiate yourself.

>>97420213
Really? All of them? Pavo Real, who's faced betrayal before and very much knows the face evil? Xbalanque, who has lived deep in politics and knows what must be done to keep his power as king? Alfher Nikomachos, who has no love lost for the Auspices, and knows of politics and betrayal?
All of these characters would just turn a blind eye to someone so blatantly suspicious?
>>
>>97420237
>The problem is that you need to win people's trust instead of them liking you automatically
Truly a tragedy.
>All of these characters would just turn a blind eye to someone so blatantly suspicious?
For their goals, yeah. They aren't truly surprised when you switch sides too, either confident that it doesn't matter or that they can handle it.
Man, you really are just digging the hole deeper for yourself.
>>
>>97420254
>>The problem is that you need to win people's trust instead of them liking you automatically
I never said that. Who are you quoting, faggot?
You don't get to win people's trust if they don't let you join the hero's party in the first place. And why would they? Who verifies that the "nothing" brand is even a real brand, and not a trick? Certainly not the One Prophet.
>>
Anon's honest reaction when he is expected to actually infiltrate a group and win them over as a traitor
>>
>>97420192
You know, there was a traitor, with a different brand, in the previous hero party. Lyceus Acestros' sister Artemis, who was branded as Wanderer, as stated in the Living Gale Advanced Red Power. People won't lose their faith over a single traitor to a brand. Heroes can be traitors, it isn't going to shake the foundations of the religion.
>>
>>97420237
Does it even matter that they are suspicious? The whole thing is a high level fate manipulation, it doesn't really matter that some characters are are suspicious, the things foretold will happen anyways. Its like Encounters in OR, these things are predestined.

Fun fact, when in the past christian cults predicted the end of the world, and it didn't happen, the groups became more fanatical and their faith intensified. Faith does not react in response to facts and logic.
>>
>>97420287
Your literally writing the whole story from the begining to the end, you deciding everything from the characters, to the overlord, to the events, there is literally no way for you to no be in the party as it has been written so in fate, the whole cyoa is one massive fate manipulation.

As I said before, the lore didn't have to be written like this. Luckily, we have the perfect answer to bad writing, which is just "fateslop". Quality CYOA.

>>97420298
There are plenty of skeptics though who still submit to the power of Sidith. The elves for one, who are clearly maintaining knowledge of the truth. The one temple does not rule through faith alone, they are a rule of force. So long as they have a core of power having a few more skeptics would be meaningless.
>>
>>97420299
Can't really separate it from fate mechanically, but it quite a well liked mechanic, considering the popularity of both JRPG traitor and Outer Reincarnation. Most cyoas have fate, but at least these two actually implement it into the narrative well.

What exactly constitutes loreslop? How much lore is too much? Is it only loreslop when it's just massive descriptions not tied to actual choices? Or does adding lore, however vague, make an option loreslop?
Suppose options are formatted like this one:

[Scientific Curiosity]
---
The water is bitter here. No one knows why. No one really wants to know why either. Everyone, except for the scholars, is in agreement that the sooner they go back home, the better it will be for their bodies and souls.
---
You have joined the Royal University's expedition to the northern lands. Some ancient ruins piqued the scholars’ interest, and you were one of the few who agreed to protect and escort them to there. You were saddled with the responsibility of managing the soldiers and supplies, a job you did well. So well, in fact, that the impressed scholars actually gave you the permit to enter the Royal Observatory - honor usually reserved for the select few loremasters. Oh, and they paid you handsomely too.
(+3 Wealth, +2 Intrigue, +1 Power, gives the [Observatory Permit].)

No offense but you really don't need to give character's entire life story unabridged or meticulously explain the intricacies of Garglewargling of Dudenbooren via Shleppenslippening. It's not that deep.
>>
>>97420529
it's not specific like that. any lore can be called loreslop when it's not conducive to the cyoa's experience.
jrpg traitor is loreslop because the cyoa could be vastly improved if the entire gods of pegana cosmology was removed. it serves no purpose but to waste your time with the nature of fate and the universe, which is totally unnecessary to the central conceit of being a traitor. ask yourself: is the cyoa actually improved by the inclusion of the shit like the power that makes it so in a trillion trillion years when the world resets, you don't reset with it? is the cyoa actually improved by all the "truth of" powers that are just vague poetic descriptions and have no purpose other than hinting at lore which doesn't matter?
jrpg traitor is also loreslop for another reason, which is the more recent lore of the auspices and how it centralizes the world on specific overlord choices. the other overlord choices suffer as a result, and so the lore feels stuffy and restrictive. in a cyoa where the world's relationship with the big bad is very important, it's unfortunate that it didn't go down the route of letting the lore of the world be more freeform or defined by player choice.
>>

>>97420615
>because the cyoa could be vastly improved if the entire gods of pegana cosmology was removed
True. Instead a lot of Jrpg stuff feels tacked on and not fleshed out enough.
And half of power choices are just cultivation snoozefest.
>>
>>97420615
>so the lore feels stuffy and restrictive
to clarify, it feels stuffy and restrictive because it feels like you're being pulled in only a handful of possible directions.
it's also the case that many of the overlords just aren't very interesting. if there were more overlords, maybe 2 to 4 more, i think enough ground could be covered that the lore feeling like it's pulling you in only a handful of directions would be mitigated. as is, i found myself saying "that's it?" when i got to the end of the overlords page.
>>
>>97420621
slop means "thing i don't like".
>>
>>97420640
Overlords, out all JRPG tropes, cover only "actually, church is evil" with Yazata. Everyone else doesn't feel like a proper big bad that would be a culmination of heroic quest. And with that feeling lacking, the impact and reasoning behind your betrayal also suffer, which greatly decreases any motivation to invest into being a proper traitor.
>>
>>97420615
>Still seething about Yazata
You are the only one restricting his adventures by seeing only one path.
What's stopping you from picking Tagus as overlord alongside all the heroes and villains connected to him and Yun Ilara, Drusilla alongside all the characters that have connections to Alkia and those who did necromancy, or Harosa and all the hidden prophets, or getting involved in the Reyanes royal family bullshit involving bastard children, conspiracies and a fucking Pylon out of nowhere, etc?
There's even an ending choice where the heroes defeat the Overlord while you were doing something else and you don't care since your own plot was happening elsewhere. You can have a world ending adventure without the need to even mention the Auspices or the Old Gods.
>>
One thing you'll notice is that to less intelligent people vocabulary is based entirely around social trends, and most new words have little to no new meaning
They literally cannot distinguish the difference between slop and thing I don't like, the difference between ironic and funny, the difference between an rpg and a game with levels
Words then get degraded by this continuous retard use

Do you mean Mushoku Tensei? The magic there is too narrow to be much fun, I think.

More generally in fantasy settings, I'd like to teach "normalizing" kinds of magic, like wards against invisibility, mind control etc. I'd do my small part in making the setting less likely to turn into a national-scale mind control hellscape and similar.

A gigantic campus vast enough to be considered a country. You'd have the big cathedral for the theologists and priests, the barracks near the courtyard/training guards for the martials, the tower going past the clouds and into dreamlands for the mages... The school would be built atop of a sprawling dungeon to ensure ressources for that city-state and to let the students test themselves periodically.

Do companions in Radiant need to follow Oaths? I was making a build and hit the Companion section and was surprised with how strong they are, but do they get all that power for free?

Was that on purpose?

>>
>>97420825
Well so much for my build. It sucks to be the only one who has to play by the rules. It's specially bad since the mandatory vows are already really stifling. I don't think I'm mature enough to be around someone stronger than me who gets to live an infinitely better life than me while still being on the side of good at the same level as me. I guess I'll just scrap it, take the mandatory vows, no companions and go be a healer somewhere and luckily die sooner rather than latter. Man what a bum, and I was really hyped to play as a paladin too, I always pick that class in rpgs.
>>
>>97420786
Approximately 35%, give or take.
The upper floors are carefully curated by the Academy staff, which means that even first-year students can experience a few lighthearted, relatively safe adventures.
The middle floors function as a contested zone between the Academy and the Dungeon itself. Here, the dangers increase noticeably, but strategic blockades—maintained by students and staff at key chokepoints—prevent stronger monsters from advancing upward. These floors are ideal for staged progression and practical training.
Then there are the lower floors. These are explicitly designed to kill intruders or twist them into serving the Dungeon’s will. Only seasoned veterans are permitted to enter. Younger students who try anyway—driven by the familiar logic of “If it’s forbidden, it must be worth it” or “The deeper you go, the better the loot”—rarely return unchanged. Most come back traumatized, disappear entirely, or die outright.

The mortality rate goes up by 10 or 20 percent if one of the middle chokepoints are lost.
>>
>>97420805
>You'd teach nothing but antimagic?
>Really?
>No wonder or merriment, just a dampening of others?

I don't mean anti-magic in general, I mean anti certain game-changing kinds of magics that seem like straight out of cautionary tales. Plato and Wells both tell us stories of how invisibility could be psychologically/socially toxic, that's a classic. And illusions can be quite bad.

And mind control.
Mundane means to affect/control other humans are very conditional, difficult to analyze, costly, inexact, indeliberate... from this seething impenetrable mess emerges all of human culture. Any dictator could in theory be immediately killed by the people around him at any point of time, the dictator has to rely on mere social contract to keep him unmurdered. Even as he ruthlessly violates social contract himself, and therefore understands how fickle it is firsthand!
But suddenly there's another way! You can just skip all that! (A good enough implementation of) mind control wouldn't be a module on top of human culture, it would REPLACE (almost) ALL OF HUMAN CULTURE, regular human culture longer has a reason to exist.

>What exactly constitutes loreslop?
I am not the anon complaining about JRPG traitor, but if I had to come up with a useful definition for "Loreslop" its "lore that serves no purpose to the cyoa at hand" Information there to service the world, rather than the adventure (which might sound a bit weird).

If you are having an adventure as a relic hunter on continent A, then being told about the political intrigues of continent B, intrigues which you are unlikely to engage in and which are removed from the base concepts of being a relic hunter, is loreslop.

If the CYOA were to be about the political intrigues of continent B? Or about how this intrigue has direct consequence on what is happening to you? Then it wouldnt be loreslop, and just be lore.

Lore is good, lore fleshes out the setting and gives context to an adventure, but loreslop exists for its own sake. Self indulgent information that exists because the author wanted to use a cyoa as a pretext for shoving in worldbuilding, rather than using worldbuilding to prop up a cyoa.

Take >>97420529, is it loreslop? That depends on the wider cyoa. It could provide relevant setting information/tone, maybe the cyoa has a bit of a "bloodborne" vibe to it and the hints about something in the water and the involvement of the scholars are very relevant/tie into other sections..

Or maybe the cyoa isnt about that, and this is "Junk information" which exists in service of some wider but unrelated plot the author has in their mind.

Still sucks, and yes I did make myself stronger on my original build but only after taking more oaths.

>>
>>97420747
this is a tough one, i think id have it either as a small contained university building or maybe as an expansive campus but with plenty of ways to get around easily so that youre not walking for like dozens of minutes or even hours just to go to where you wanna go, stuff like golems or carts or busses or whatever that anyone can use so that not only do you not need to walk that long but you also dont have to worry as much about being late if you just get a faster ride or smth

i think the curriculum would teach both fundamentals and applications, with a heavy focus on teaching people not about like old traditional stuff but just what will be most useful for them during their life time and career, maybe wed include old stories about like fuck ups that happened from rushing or not enough testing or what have you, and maybe study both modern and ancient examples of magic and magic items to see what is, was, and could be possible

as for who wed teach, i think itd be all three, wed of course teach researchers whod eventually be employed by the campus as teachers and researchers to further our understanding and knowledge, but wed also teach artisans/healers etc who just want to make a living off of magic and warriors who want to defend their close people and whatnot, although maybe wed especially like our students to essentially end up as all three kinda

as for what magic wed focus on, well in mushoku tensei probably mostly healing/barriers and magic arrays, magic arrays can do just about anything if you know how and anyone can feasibly learn atleast how to make the arrays and can maybe power it with help from others or resources, so it makes sense for us to go for that, the healing magic is mostly to have it on hand and also i think medicine should always be advanced forward wherever possible, same with the barriers, mostly to have it on hand

Well, I was going for a little snippet of what your character feels/sees at the moment the event happens, to establish the tone a bit.

>what I have to sacrifice so much for without any drawbacks
They worked/trained their whole lives for it, you got yours literally overnight. You literally just show up and youre stronger than people who spent their whole lives training and shit, except the dragon I guess shes just a dragon and therefore born that way

>You have redeemed evildoers with great power and a lot more moral leeway than you
The one redeemed evildoer I remember is a giga-pacifist who is operating like he has most of the few actually restrictive oaths

Do you like, have a compulsion to stab random people or something? Just cant walk out the door without shoving an old woman to the ground?

wed also offer courses in martial arts to anyone interested, although maybe it would be better to make some level of them mandatory, but anyways yeah martial arts courses centric on water god for self defence of course, and north god style as personally i feel like north god has the highest possible synergy with magic and especially array based magics as it can be used as another of your many tools in north god style, maybe sword god and water god would make more sense but honestly, i feel like i like north god the most and it does make sense for it to synergize with magic, although, hmmm, water gods use of armor that i just read about is kinda interesting, well, who knows which will become the biggest focus water or northern

moving on from that, i think if we talk about outside of mushoku tensei, itd kinda still be the same for the most part, healing and barrier magics to have on hand and also advancement in such fields, and especially focus on magic arrays or some equivalent, basically enchanting and magic items or scrolls or ofuda or whatever other options works out for it (although i do love consumable magic items like scrolls and ofuda/spellcards and even spell wands so maybe thered be a whole department for making and developing them, maybe finding new ways to make use of them like adding them to dolls to allow magic casting or smth), wed probably also still teach martial arts to some degree for self defence and synergizing with the magic as much as possible

one very big difference is id probably have a puppeteering course/department for those interested as its one of my favorite power sets, being able to make and manipulate prepared objects (or just things in the environment) from a variety of distances, and maybe also use such abilities to bind or disrupt the movements and actions of opponents, or even aid in the movement and actions of allies, etc etc, i love all of it, and id definitely put alot of resources and talent into it

6/10. I considered whether I should give different scores pre and post update, but I'd give them the same score: while the update was nearly unplayable, it was more fun lore-wise and prettier
