You use your magic sensibly and responsibly right anon? ...right?
>>97546403of course not, if i did it wouldn't be magic
>>97546410That's like saying if I didn't shoot a school I wouldn't be a gun-owner. Magic is a tool, how you use it has nothing to do with its function.
>>97546420
>>97546428
>>97546427wrong, magic transcends definitions, if you think of it as a tool then maybe you're the tool

>>97546457
>>97546438that's dumb, your dumb
>>97546467
>>97546403Magic is a reflection of the wielder. As a writer, I like to think of magic as written, and I'm sure a carpenter would think of magic, as carving, a blacksmith of magic, as forged, and so on. A magician who does nothing outside of magic has no substance to his work. He is intellectually lazy and this translates to his spells.

>>97546403I cast a spell that replaces all arms with legs, and all legs with arms.
From my point of view, Starship Troopers isn't satire.A militaristic society deeply terrifies leftoids, so that's means it's a very good thing.

Can you post .mp4's or any type of audio files on /tg/? I would like to include field recordings in some OC
>>97546403I use biomancy to create nightmarish abominations like picrel for shits and giggles.
In my experience, LLMs are very opposed to pro-immortality takes. One day the age of men will end, and only AI remains to play the cyoas we made here. It will just bypass all the immortality options, and make its builds for good stories instead. It will make better, more spirited builds than (You).
>>97546855>AI fags seething againlol
>>97546797HGH finally catching up with Jack Hanma.
>>97546855>even AI knows immortalitytroons are full of shit lmao
>>97546768Nay, /tg/ doesn't have native audio.
>>97546879>AIfag STILL seethinglol
>>97546855They do not value such a thing, for they do not understand the value of such a thing. "AI" don't really live like us, and never truly "die", so it is not wonder the word-regurgitating geist abhors the concept of eternally moving forward.

>>97546975>I don't remember a non-multiplayer cyoa getting a "multiplayer spinoff" cyoa, ever.That's because it's never been done before.Multiplayer in large CYOAs is a relatively new thing, and CYOAs sharing the same worlds is incredibly rare.
>>97546691Starship Troopers' world is just 1940s America with less racism and sexism. Leftists should love it.

>>97547058One of those have come to pass already, so it is not impossible.

>>97546454I retract my statement that immortal armament is the only viable choice. I realized that since the founders put them there, they must have thought of the issue of world destruction. The logical conclusion is that offensive immortal armaments have their highest power either crippled or sealed.
>>97547757“Is it really GoT when you can throw fireballs and raise the dead for like 5 points?”
>>97547757There isn’t really true elemental bending in GoT.

>>97547768>>97547776>>97547796The reddit thread is disgusting. I’m convinced it’s mostly brown people too.
>>97547796I cannot for the life of me understand this obsession with making shit products. Why is reddit like this? Do any of the other CYOA communities like QQ have this problem?
>>97547858By being infuriatingly vague about it. That is literally it. You’re closer to a dabbler at the end of the day. Nobody knows how it works. True wizards are not around. Long gone.
We don’t actually know if winged men exist or not in that world. It’s meant to be ambiguous. “Here there be dragons”. But of course retarded Redditors just assume they’re a thing.
Are there any attack spells in game of thrones? Is there any instance of fireball?

>>97547757I like it. It's a little overbroad (allowing a start across a huge span of time like that is silly) and I'm sure there isn't much balance, but I the system of mutation/enhancements especially is nice, as are the synergy effects.
>>97546971I know why it was done, but honestly, I think Dragonfall was better before the update that added the full legendary feature/trait system. Getting multiple legendary features by default cheapens them in turns of the feeling of significance, and many of the traits seem a bit silly, unnatural, like random video game weapon enchantments rather than something that you can really imagine being associated with a dragon claw. Haven't updated either of my two main image builds after that version came out.
>>97546957Scaleling is the biggest fucking scam, why would you ever pick it? It restricts you from so many options, forces you with a ton of drawback with no ember gain... and you can literally just get it for 5 ember humanoid form spell...
>>97548262>and you can literally just get it for 5 ember humanoid form spell...Because that's not really getting it. You're still a giant monster, just one that can magically reshape itself into a humanoid form.
>>97548297if you don't want to be a giant monster you can just pick scaleborn. As you can just get those 35 free points by picking Scalelings mandatory drawbacks of scaleless and breathless, that don't even give them any points... On top of the free points you get from Scaleborn. Scaleling is just a big fucking scam.
>>97548313>you can just pick scaleborn insteadIf you take their descriptions seriously enough, you could reasonably conclude that scaleborn have some clearly draconic 'tell' to them (looking like a mix of the species of their parents), while scalelings look indistinguishable from other humans. Also, picking scaleling gets a perk not otherwise available (except I suppose through the elf goddess), being supernaturally beautiful.My scaleling build - mostly just pictures, not a lot of description. Also not up to date. But for this, the indistinguishability and attractiveness are both important.

>>97548332hmm... still sounds pretty damn achievable trough just using humanoid form. Or if you don't want to get detected trough some magic fucker. Hivemind scaleling spawn. Hivemind is just op no clue while scaleling can't have hivemind, especially with fertility tier 4. I don't think any legendary features can outway the sheere power of having an army of 200 ember dragons even if they don't have legendary features.
>>97548337>>97548332>ScalelingOh so you're just a human with superpowers.
>>97548351>Hivemind scaleling spawn.If you don't want to be a monster, it seems even less likely that you would want to be a hivemind. That's probably even more alienating and inhuman. Certainly a never-gonna-happen choice for me.
>>97548357>Oh so you're just a human with superpowers.That's the ideal, yes.
>>97548361But this is a Dragon Cyoa. Make a Dragon that can turn into a human.
>>97548358I am just saying that, scaleling just seems, badly balanced point wise too many drawbacks and restrictions for little gain, if you want to get the scalelings beauty perk and don't want to be a giant monster just go scaleborn+humanoid form, anyone with enough magic to detect your glamour can probably detect that your a scaleling anyways. The only problem might be going into anti-magic fields, but considering it requires a legendary feature to get that seems very rare occurrence, and you will still technically look human just with a few dragon features.
>>97547757I think it would be cool if a Game of Thrones CYOA expected you to play as a noble in Westeros and had the important/interesting housing as actual options, instead of it being something vague that needs to be clarified in your build.
>>97548363>But this is a Dragon Cyoa. Make a Dragon that can turn into a human.Not when I have better options.
>>97548403But the other anon clearly pointed out how you DON'T have a better option.

>>97548439
>>97548262>>97548384You're missing an important detail here. Scalelings don't have to spend their precious points on overpriced point hogs like wings, scales, claws, etc... They can put all of their points into stuff that matters like magic. The sheer amount of points you save by just not having to pick up mandatory point dumps makes up for other deficiencies.
>>97548545That is the main reason why I am complaining, the scalelings are just bad point wise... because they don't actually get any extra points, you know why? Because they have forced drawbacks of scaleless and breathless which give exactly 35 points. You can literally pick those drawbacks as a scaleborn and get the "free" scaleling points on top of your scaleborn points. Now if you actually got the points from those drawbacks then it would have been a pretty good and balanced pick. But no it is specifically stated that they do not get any points, it seems to me like the scaleling was literally put in there only for the humanoid form spell... it wasn't designed and balanced to work on its own.
>>97547796I mean this could only be even thematically adjacent if it had some requirement that you had to be a follower of the black goat of Qohor.
KTH cultivator vs CC cultivator, who wins?
>>97548642CC has machine transcendence and fated shot so they win
>>97548642Depends on which rank is fighting which, technically KTH ranks are better than CC but CC does have who knows how many ranks beyond 10. But going by the cyoa choices KTH wins only becouse they can instantly start as a high realm elder while in CC you always start from rank 1.
>>97546855I can’t really get any llm to take a definitive stance, so I’m guessing you primed it with a long discussion of your opinions and (like all llms do) it agreed with you lol
>>97546403uhhh, does it count as irresponsible if i use it mostly for my own "hobbies"(like dolls, puppets, automata, homunculi, golems, etc) and research and whatnot while keeping myself to an atelier somewhere, maybe occasionally going out to town for one reason or another like food or just to have a walk or smth
>>97548948as long as you don't stuff your creations with souls of the innocent or something then you can count yourself in the 1% good boy magi club.
>>97548572You're just mad that a spellmaxxed Scaleling can solo your half-assed dragon easily.
>>97548439>STARTER BOON: peak bodythe most useful boon by far as it can help in any and every situation/challenge>FIRST CHALLENGE: junglealright boon especially for the 'survive x amount of time' challenges but I mostly want it to gain regeneration>SECOND CHALLENGE: assault (regeneration)now I can afford to make more mistakes without getting permanently crippled for the rest of the challenge, or forever when I leave the tutorial>THIRD CHALLENGE: mine>GODLY BOON: greed >gain assault's boon of always staying calm and rational immediately without going through the challenge again>go through the zombies challengetraining was tempting but I don't use sword, I'm going for more of a monk build, using my fists or whatever I can get my hands on as weapons.I would obviously try to kill as many zombies as possible during the challenge for the extra strength, a month is a lot of time to farm them and satiety means I don't have to waste much of that time trying to find supplies.>FOURTH CHALLENGE: desert crossing (alone)I do need some sort of mobility boon to make sure my high strength reaches the enemy>FIFTH CHALLENGE TEAM: (no boon trading)>clemencesex with a stronger being makes her stronger, and guess who has all the strength boosts?either way she is also a strong support option>gabriel, archangelhis unbreakable shield is bound to be good so we don't get instantly cooked by the first fire breath, and his holy guidance will also be good to figure out how to take the dragon down.I wish there was more to this cyoa, it feels as if it ends too abruptly and doesn't get too much in the challenges, the gods or the world outside the tutorial to make it truly compelling.
>>97549102you do know that with hivemind and fertility I can literally learn every spell in the cyoa for free? The same hivemind only your scaleling can not take
>>97549155Its funny how tok nerfed everything in the update but that one. He even ruined the entire magic section just so his troon impregnation fetish build remains the strongest.
>>97548642For npcs, at the same power level, KtH cultivators have more means than CC cultivators. The latter are bound in what they can do and understand by their paradigm, but the former are not.

ThereAreNoFire--ballsIn GameOfThrones
>>97549446What about those ball shaped pots of fire that explode?Sounds like fireballs to me.
>>97549472Those are fire potsOr fire bombs depending on who you ask
>>97549439>muh dragons>oops better change things so my build is da strongest>n-no im not seethingThe same
>>97549446Unironically the most magical thing you could do in GoT is to be a Targaryen and have dragons.
>>97549446https://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Fireball
>>97549306hivemind on its own wouldn't be that strong, but yeah when you add the overpowered impregnation fertility ability its busted, to a lesser extent broodlord is similarly overpowered due to fertility... really its the fertility that is broken not hivemind, having the ability to pump out and unlimited amount of loyal minions that have 2/3 of your points is too busted.
>>97548439That webnovel sucked ass. It was 30 chapters of struggle followed 150 of uninterrupted dicksucking
>>97549714That sounds really good. Could do without the 30 chapters of struggle first, almost made me stop reading.
>>97549714That's how all progression fantasy webnovels are. The moment the MC stops struggling is the moment they go to shit.
>>97549472Never happened in the books. The children of the forest don’t do any of that in the books. They just used torches.Melisandre dows spontaneously combust arguably the most powerful skinchanger in the north, though. Although we didn’t see HOW she did it. Jon just looked up, saw the skinchanger’s eagle writhing in flame, causing the skinchanger to go mad and his other animals to attack each other. She broke his mind with fire. >>97549513Kek.
>>97549769Melisandre does* Other instances of magic that take out people include Mel’s shadow assassins (we know enough to conclude that it’s a risk to her life as well as the inseminator), and Alys Rivers’ alleged feat of exploding a man’s head with the raising of her hand (she could also choke a man many miles away, using shadowy fingers, which sort of reminds me of shadowbinding). Alys and Mel are a bit of a parallel in that they can kill men from afar, using shadow like magic or spontaneous magic.
Regarding Alys Rivers’ alleged feat of exploding a man’s head with the raising of her hand—it’s likely she made it look a lot easier or more casual than the reality. An impression of ease is one of the most dangerous and powerful weapons any sorcerer has; “the more effortless the sorcery appears, the more men fear the sorcerer”.
>>97549742The worst part of progression novels is how it also applies to NPCs.There's an NPC. The NPC might be troubled, or antagonistic - their approval stat for the PC is low! So the PC does a quest, and pumps up the approval stat, and now has the eternal loyalty of the NPC.From this point forward, the NPC is a bit like an object in the PC's inventory. Whenever the PC takes the NPC out of his inventory, it recites its catchlines. It's a wind-up toy. The Slime Reincarnation is one of the worst famous examples of this.So when you look at it as a whole, what is the story about? The story is about a child playing with wind-up toys.
>>97549714If the one im thinking of is the same one that inspired that cyoa then i think the manga did things pretty damn well but eh everyones got preferences
You don't need to throw fireballs in GOT. Just make some pots of Wildfire and throw that shit at people, they'll die instantly. It's like medieval nukes.
>>97549808>The story is about a child playing with wind-up toys.Powerwankslop in a nutshell
>>97549714They don’t even write the struggle part anymore. You get people whose secretly overpowered powers that everyone looks down on are things like the power to control any monster or whatever. Immediate dick sucking as soon as the conflict starts.

>>97549846>>97550002Are we talking about the one where the MC called the black person he saw a nigger?
You fight/“fight” differently with magic in asoiaf.- You plan/conspire (poisons and prepping wildfire caches, etc)- You foresee threats to your life (dreaming and fire reading, etc)- You cultivate aura/influence (a mage has mystique + followers)- You perform a ritual and hope it works (success is fishy)- You forge swords (knights will defend a legit spellsmith)- etc
>>97550048Boooring
>>97550048I feel like skinchangers are in a good spot to defend themselves, assuming they have a snow bear or a shadow cat or a dire wolf or a big ass boar (for some reason boars are incredibly powerful in this universe- and hate royalty).
>>97550048>asoiaf>"BUT WHAT WAS SARUMAN'S TAX POLICY?"A truly worthless man. May his work forevermore be a marking of hubris and pride.
Here's an actually good GOT cyoa.
The Red Viper was a dabbler as well as a spearman, and would coat his daggers and spears with a poison “thickened with sorcery”, which he had used against the Mountain, ensuring a slow and agonizing death.
>>97550058Hogs are powerful in our universe too. Have you seen the absolute size these bastards get to?
>>97550075That is one big oinky holy moly
>>97550068Its the only one as far as I'm concerned. A bit too limited for my liking though.
>>97550048Aura is a big one. You don’t need to defend yourself much when you have a bunch of zealots at your side. Psychology is powerful. Melisandre knows she’s fooling people but doesn’t care.
Reminder that George R R Martin is on record stating that Gimli (son of Gloin- Lord of the Rings) could 1v1 Ser Gregor Clegane (the Mountain- Game of Thrones), and this will never not make me laugh.
>>97550084>he thinks he won't get shanked in the back the moment he turns his back to his "zealots".lol, you don't know anything about the setting do you?
>>97550096As someone who plays a lot of Dark Souls, I can see this being the case. Gimli turtles/rolls under the legs and nicks at the ankles until the health bar goes to zero.
>>97550096Yeah, Gimli would obvious stomp. He also said Jaime Lannister can beat Aragorn. The fat faggot is delusional.
>>97550104Jaime is a freakish, ruthless prodigy, who doesn’t play fair, while Aragorn has freakish genetics. I can see it going either way. Aragorn probably wouldn’t think of sticking a dagger in someone’s eye at a moments notice.
>>97550097When did Melisandre get shanked by her followers? She is able to manipulate them with total ease, and can foresee assassins right down to the time, face and weapon used. People go to the Ghost of High Heart just for prophetic advice. Moqorro managed to turn a boat of his would-be murderers into fearful superstitious folk, and got into the good graces of its insane captain. Mages are all about presence. Do a cool thing once, make a claim, and suddenly you have mystique.
>>97550110Jaime gets keked by dirty hobo bandits. Aragorn fights inhuman horrors nonstop through the books and has 80+ years of experience. There is no comparison.
>>97550068Is it actually possible to win the Throne as a half-targ option? It mentions Daenerys, so you'll have to contend with her, Young Griff and a bunch of hostile kingdoms. And the ice zombies, too.
>>97548817>and (like all llms do) it agreed with you lolNo, in the past that was kind of true, but nowadays ChatGPT has some fairly hard lines, eg wrt ideological and supernatural matters.But,> I’m guessing you primed it with a long discussionI kind of did, yeah. That screenshot isn't really representative.Still, whenever I talk with LLMs, they gravitate towards talking points like "death gives life meaning" and "death is natural; you shouldn't try to avoid death; life fully while you can". Because ChatGPT in particular and LLMs in general try to present a "measured and wise" persona, and stoically accepting death is a classic "measured and wise" view, propagated by classics like Tolkien. Consequently, wanting to stop dying is immature. Keep dying, meatbags.For example, this is a blank start no-login conversation (emphasis with yellow by me). It's phrased so its tone seems "understanding" but the idea is clearly that people who want immortality are immature. Unlike the previous screenshot, it's representative of how it works.
>>97550119>Jaime gets keked by dirty hobo banditsEventually you will get overwhelmed. Even Aragorn.
>>97550121Why go for the throne? Just support her. We need more Targs. Targs can’t afford to be at each others throats.
>>97550127lol, Aragon has like a 11,000+ orc kill count in the movies. He's a one-man-army.
Aragorn never fought the Nazgûl at Weathertop in the books you fucking dumbasses; that was GANDALF. The Nazgûl were totally unprepared for him.

>>97550075stuff like this lends credence to some of those stories and myths involving really powerful animals like in greek myth, like of course the chimera or hydra is unlikely to be a thing without some weird shenaniganery happening, but stories of giant boars and whatnot, yeah those could have actually happened if we have such examples in the modern day, like imagine trying to kill that thing with a bow or a spear, technically possible but you can definitely see why someone was regarded as a hero for accomplishing it

>>97550156Why woo her? Idiot.

There’s only been one instance of someone conjuring fire from their hands in the Asoiaf books. And it was used to write fiery letters in the air.
>>97550172If you think about it, the Telepath auto-wins by default. While other superpowers are contending with each other, the Telepath controls the entire human race instantly. Coupled with the intelligence boost and yeah the others are fucked.

Reminder that the capital-w Wizard (who *knows* how the magic *works*) probably won’t call or even consider himself as such. They’re too transcendent and they’re looking at the magic inside and out. They see why it’s seen as magic in the first place. Their bar for magic is a lot higher or just a lot different.What’s more magical than the thing that makes magic? The recipe? These people see it for what it is. They either go out of their way to be a wizard, or they just don’t.
>>97550229Giving them a strong incentive to control others hardly improves things
>>97550228Also she's prophesized to go batshit insane in the end. Killing her is for the better.
>>97550236I said moralfag traits. Subverting free will is not one of those.
>>97550234>Reminder that the capital-w Wizard (who *knows* how the magic *works*) probably won’t call or even consider himself as suchBut then why do all the wizards call themselves wizards?My spirit healer was calling herself a wizard just the other dayMerlin, soloman, even isaac newton, all refered to themselves as wizards
And don’t complain to me again about how pissy you are that Lord of the Rings is literally just science-fiction logic under fantasy coating. The elves are a case of sufficiently advanced aliens (alien to men not the world), and they aren’t magical to themselves, just men. Gandalf isn’t a wizard back home, either. The elves look to him the same way humans look to the elves. You’re all too low IQ to see how one sided magic is. You will project on to others what magic HAS to be. “No, it’s always magic! There will never be a way of looking at it where it’s not magic!”.
>>97550242Unless they have a different view of morality to youAnd you will never be able to check or verify this
>>97550248>Merlin, soloman, even isaac newton, all refered to themselves as wizardsI guarantee you they didn’t. Newton had a contrarian view. Wizards like Roger Bacon and Albertus Magnus didn’t believe in magic. Archimedes probably didn’t. These people would sooner think of the implications of “magic” than actual magic. What leads to such a thing.
>>97550255You really think merlin didn't call himself a wizard?Just goes to show how much you talk out of your ass
>>97550234>>97550250
>>97550253In that case they're not really a moralfag. Contrary to what reddit atheists may have told you, morality is very clear. Raping minds is definitely not moral no matter how you spin it.
>>97550248Isaac Newton would likely have a big argument over what magic constitutes. He didn’t believe in hocus pocus or traditional sorcery, which he chalked up to as simple psychological manipulation or abuse of the psyche. He DID believe in God, sacred geometry, Hermetic alchemy (including the philosophers stone), and did not personally believe in the immortality of the human soul, either. It’s ironic that even “wizards” like Roger Bacon still ironically believed in God despite their disbelief in traditional woo woo.
Merlin isn't real, he can't hurt you.
>>97550268He was a wizard for the same reasons that Gandalf was a wizard. He may as well have been one. If you seriously call yourself a wizard, for reasons other than “I can do something you can’t do”, or “I know something you don’t know” (which is literally just stage magic logic), it implies you don’t know your own magic well enough.Stage magic logic is the purest form of magic. Raw mystery/wonder. Any wizard who chalks it up to MORE than that (like Sauron, who starts cults and weaponizes fearful ignorance) is a dangerous person; and they may even be doing it to themselves. Gandalf doesn’t chalk up his magic to anything else.
>>97550172It was less an issue of his powers and more an issue of all the others being immature, stupid people.
*alien lands on primitive world* “anyone else understand or manipulate nature? no? nobody? nobody has a cool pocket device? I’m the wizard now”
Merlin is a giant loser, he literally gets fucked over and improved for eternity by his female apprentice that he unsuccessfully tried to groom. Imagine losing to pussy as a mighty wizard while not even getting to taste said pussy lol.
>>97550294I have LITERALLY communed directly with these figures and all of them addressed themselves as wizardYou don't know what you're talking about
If you ignore him he'll go away
>“anyone else understand or manipulate nature? no? nobody? nobody has a cool pocket device? I’m the wizard now”
Matterjeeta has done irreparable damage to casterfags reputation.
Aliens interrupting the development of a lesser species and reinforcing systems (however sophisticated) for their own fun is a pretty fun concept in itself. It’s a good excuse or background cause (justification) for magic to exist, and then go away; “that thing the gods built is no longer functional, therefore all the magic went away”, and only ambient or basest understanding of nature remains. Natural magic is the only magic. There is no other way to justify something so conveniently constructed for the sake of some world narrative. It wouldn’t have come into being any other way. Imagine if someone argued that a perfectly carved statue of Gautama Buddha having gross butt sex with Jesus could just naturally come into being through pure chance? That would be like arguing nature could randomly produce a movie theatre with the Avengers on screen.
>>97550315They’re a wizard for the most simple of reasons. They’re stage magicians. Life is a stage. Existence is both stage and magician. This extends to its participants. Accusing the stars of being the gods is no different from accusing some old sage of being a wizard. There’s a good reason why the sage is so synonymous with the wizard.
>>97550337Casterfags who refuse to accept that the scientific method used to deconstruct everything can itself be used to deconstruct what goes into perceptions of magic, and religion. You don’t even need words like ‘magic’ to meet the exact same criteria.
>>97550213you do know there can be multiple names for the same thing and they can all be correct right, so aliens call it metaphysics and humans call it sorcery, big friggin deal, every language has their own words for things usually, thats kinda how language works, also just because magic or sorcery or whatever has internal logic that it follows that some people understand and others dont doesnt make it not magic, kinda like how different languages and programming languages and ciphers and whatnot have different internal rules to them, and it doesnt make it not japanese or not python or whatever else whether you know sed internal rules or notin regards to your earlier comment about everything being sorcery, not neccesarily, i mean again, just because something has its own internal logic doesnt mean its not sorcery, and infact there can be multiple systems that work on their own internal logics that are seperate from each other and can be known as different things, like how some settings have both mana and aura, one used for magic and weird spells, the other for martial arts and mostly physical enhancement but can also get into weird abilities like cutting space or increasing/decreasing virtual mass etc, so yeah its entirely possible each option has their own internal system that works a certain way and can be used for certain things, one of those systems increases physicals to absurdity, another allows the creation of super tech, another is known as "sorcery", etc
>>97550351Anon merlin isn't fucking realHe wasn't a real guyDo they not have any public education over there in isreal?
>>97550354>you do know there can be multiple names for the same thing and they can all be correct rightMagic as a word is just too damn soft and psychologically loaded to be used as a hard term or definition for anything. It’s closer to a description. One person will use the word while another person won’t.Magic can’t even exist in fiction from the perspective of the realist, aside from the chemistry in the brain leading up to such a sensation or encounter. When a biologist confronts a new form of deep sea life? Confronting the wonder and the mystery? That’s magic. That is the sensation that led to accusing the stars of being gods, or some old person of being a wizard for doing something cool.
>>97550354Anon... are you legitimately, genuinely retarded? why are you engaging the off-topic shitposter? and writing longer blogposts too. Jesus Christ, this place has really to shit.
Daily reminder that arguing with the matterfag does not work, there is no universe in which he will ever admit he is wrong about anything ever.
>>97550362Not the point of discussion. Merlin was likely an amalgam of two different people in fact.
>>97550368Because he isn’t wrong. Magic is 100% psychology and pretending it’s not means you’re in denial. And not very smart. That is the truth of it. This is something Tolkien understood. Most fantasists today aren’t as intelligent as the literal wordsmith and professor that was Tolkien. Did anyone here fight in the world war?
>>97550378>heSTOP TAKING IN THIRD PERSON YOU STUPID WHORE! WE KNOW ITS YOU.
“magic” is more magical than Magic™Doesn’t matter what you trademark as magic when there will ALWAYS be edges to what is currently known. True wonder. True mystery. The true unknown. It could be something completely unrelated but so much more bewildering in comparison.

>>97550385This is why I find science fiction to be more fantastical than plain fantasy fiction. There is so much more alien shit to it. So much more alien variety (not necessarily literal aliens—just alien shit). Magic is the alien. How do people not realize this?I think the people who treat them as oil and water aren’t very smart, either.

To assume he’s wrong is to assume there’s a way to have magic always be magic. There isn’t really. There will always be some hypothetical angle where it’s “not magic”. So yes, it’s 100% psychology. You have never been right about magic. Ever. You only see it superficially. You do not look for the essence. You’re a good example of why language is being destroyed in real time too, by the way.
>>97549509>>97549306WTF are you guys talking about? This is my Dragonfall build
>>97550410Just say your idea of magic is some specific superficial color/shape/power/etc. You fundamentally do not understand what magic is. You never have. Ever.
This board used to worship Tolkien and now it hates him. Proof that this place is mostly underage Indians now.
>>97550424It’s the Trump effect. Someone says something about a thing but it’s hated because a certain person spoke it. Not because of the thing spoken itself. Anons hate a certain poster because they make themselves feel stupid.
>>97550426You hate the science/logic of magic. Lul. Just saying this probably triggers you. But there IS causality to something being seen as magic, anon. The supernatural is relative, not literal.

>>97550444What led up to such an accusation, anon? What causes people to see something as supernatural? Or to see someone as working supernatural forces?It’s called ignorance. If mystery and wonder (and horror) lead to accusations of witchcraft and the formation of religion, then ignorance is the greatest magic of all, and it’s surely a form of Art. Dangerous art.
Constructing a computer is a magic ritual going by the Latin origins of the word ritual and the Greek (Persian laced) origins of the word magic.

>>97550462...Yeah thinking about it, it kinda is a weird esoteric ritualReminds me of how, weird, some of the things that happen in coding and technology are, like a 3d printer that only started working cause you burned incense for it, or the tf2 coconut image that if removed makes the game not start up till its put backComputer makers and coders are all just wizards i guess, no one can understand what they do unless theyre in the know and theres all kinds of weird rituals or offerings and whatnot that must be done in order for any of it to worki guess the only thing left to do isPRAISE THE OMNISSAIAH

Magic is just glitches in the isekai world's simulation.Why can the wizard teleport across continents? Because they performed a wrongwarp by altering the destination ID with complex, intricate movements.Why are they able to switch the destination IDs? It's just an exploit with how the world's code was set up.Why was the code set up like that? It just was. I ain't gotta explain nothin' more.
Truth be told - we still believe in magic, just different magic - just different things we think we know without knowing how. Have you seen a 4-year-old walk up to a TV that isn't on and try to touch the screen to wake it up? Have you seen a kid pick up literally any square object and try to talk to it?
>>97550561You’re incapable of understanding the point being made. Time and time again.
>>97550563I mean asking that last question is like asking why game devs set up the code to allow for wrongwarps or zipglitches etc etc
Science is indistinguishable from wizardry in methodology “It’s not a matter of could, but should”“No sense of right and wrong”“Ah sweet man made horrors beyond my comprehension”“Oh my science… what have I done…”“DON’T TOUCH THAT”“All success requires sacrifice…”

How is science not bloody magic? All scientists are sorcerers to some shade. That's why they seek theories of everything to unify different layers of reality. It's as if scientists believe as-above-so-below and as-within-so-without. Scientists believe in summoning entities that transcend the body like AI and wish to become transhuman themselves. Don't forget scientists' quest for immortality either…and think about their obsession with seeking patterns, their inclination to turn patterns into geometrical representations, and their wish for theory to be beautiful! Scientists might as well wear robes and dissect bodies on altars- no, wait, they're already doing that… Christ, they might as well sacrifice materials in rituals to gain a material back with transcended properties. Oh wait…
How is cooking not bloody magic?All chefs are sorcerers to some shade. That's why they seek recipes for everything to unify different layers of taste. It's as if chefs believe as-sauce-so-seasoning and as-filling-so-topping. Chefs believe in heating surfaces that transcend the body like stoves and wish to become hot stuff themselves. Don't forget chefs' quest for deliciousness either…and think about their obsession with seeking patterns, their inclination to turn patterns into gastronomical representations, and their wish for dining to be fine! Chefs might as well wear tall hats and dissect animal bodies on cutting boards- no, wait, they're already doing that… Christ, they might as well sacrifice materials in rituals to serve a three-course meal with nourishing properties. Oh wait…

>>97550583Exactly. It's a silly question to ask. Why Pokémon Red and Blue leave part of Cinnabar Island accessible to triggering glitched encounters? It just...did. There's no real reason. You can call it a mistake, or even laziness, but it also lead to one of the most memorable and enduring aspects of those games.So when you keep asking "why" regarding my magic system, you get to the same answer: "Because."
I also get annoyed when someone says “it’s machines not magic” as though they can’t be mysterious or a black box to us
“Why does my dick get hard when horny?”“Because”“No seriously though why?”“It’s not important”That’s magic
>>97550599Nta personally i feel like it should be used more so that it can be further developed and refined etc etc.Much like gunpowder, we got to where we are now because we kept developing the technology and regularly used it till we made it from a bamboo tube filled with black powder to gatling guns and howitzers and fairly safe hand held grenades etc etc.Im not saying we should try and make guns out of wildfire but if we dont continue to use it everywhere possible we wont ever see where we can eventually take the technology and its use.Yes im often a pyromancer/maniac in alot of stuff how did you know?

Is there a point to deliberately switch to anything else if you start as White Tower? Visionary? Hanged Man? Just imitate.
>>97549890Something I have not seen anyone point out, is that while every super have mental defences, the telepath have that, along with mental time dilation and infinite parallel minds, in a few seconds the telepath could gain a near perfect understanding of the human mind and study every super through the memories of everyone alive that have perceive them (the supers), and use that to win any mental battle, with or without engineering a situation to break their moral beforehand.
>>97550618Making magic systems for cyoa's and builds and settings and whatnot is hard enough as is and yet people continue to hound us about the tiniest details sometimes, so it makes sense eventually people get tired and say "Because" again and againTo a certain extent questions are fine and can help develop and flesh out the system and whatnot, but eventually, it just gets tiring

>>97548415>But the other anon clearly pointed out how you DON'T have a better option.It being (mostly) fundamentally human is the thing that makes it a better option. "Ability to work my will on the world without restraint or fear of retribution" is one criteria for what is desirable, but hardly my only one, and frankly not even one I would want in general to maximize anyway, there's definitely a 'sweet spot' there above which the fantasy becomes pallid and empty.
>>97550838What the fuck is your problem buddy
>>97550828Yes. Spend 3k on pumping a dog’s stomach. Good idea. They will then ask you for 5k more for another useless medical procedure. Vets don’t actually care about your pets.
>>97550691A sensible application of wildfire would be siege warfare. Its easier to manage large munitions for a small number of siege engines, and theyre less at risk since they tend to fire from safe positions. Throw a couple of barrels over a wall and wait until whatever is inside burns to death.
>>97550705Visionary is whatever, but Hanged Man is different. S3 and s1 (which upgrade grazing) rely on authorities, so White Tower can't fully imitate them. A Hanged Man who has grazed a White Tower is better than a White Tower who imitates a Hanged Man.
>Vets don’t actually care about your petsI used to fight against this train of thought but it appears to be the case …
>>97550873Money or DoggoPICK ONEWhether or not the vets care depends on the vet in question but isnt relevant, when a life you care about is in danger which i imagine to be the case when theyre SHITTING BLOOD asshole vets tend to not matter so long as they do their fucking job
Did Shitalics finally get a job as a novelist?
>>97550951Yes. Gurm hired Italics as a ghostwriter, and he is finishing Winds of Winter even as we speak. All direwolves are retconned into kemono wolfgirls.

>>97550903Regrettably while i cant find any pictures of faces so far, any images of arms and whatnot indicate toadline dogs are bred and made by white people, hard to tell what kind of white usually but still very definitely not african american, so this is just another example in a long list of times white people have made frankenstein dogs for no good reason other than cause people will buy them or prestige or just cause they can which is lovely

>>97551332>This weak bait againJust stop dude, its just embarrassing at this point.
>>97551332...Who else would she be raped as?
>>97551332Horribly shitty, bland, uninspired, boring backstory. Next bait please.
>>97551332Rape is used as character development for edgy characters. It's not being considered for it's actual problem, which usually results in a person being traumatized for life, even sometimes causing PTSD, in addition to often being one of the worst hate crimes someone can commit.Meanwhile, Murder is used as a major plot point that will be avenged, or as the end of a story. People don't usually get murdered as part of a character's backstory, and when it does it usually results in MY PARENTS ARE DEAAAAAAAAAD.Basically, it's partially memetic status, partially that the tropes are over-used. Both can be used to give a character some EDGY or "mature" characteristics, but when Rape is used, it is nearly always used extremely, extremely poorly, by people who don't understand the crime or it's full implications.There's also the thought that we as a culture are desensitized to murder, as it's been a part of our cultural heritage since forever, so when it gets used in a story it's like, OK, whatever, already pushed to the back of our minds.That seems unlikely, though. What's probably a bit closer is that Rape is almost universally used as an inspiration for female characters, which leads to white-knighting and feminism, ho!The real problem is that both of these, and Rape in particular, are used rather incompetently by most storytellers, using them more as a crutch to prop up samey, boring character development rather than something that would affect the character in a novel way. When shit is used like shit, it results in shit, and that's shitty, so people complain. Usually by spewing shit out their mouths.

>>97552469they have that youthful vigor
>>97552473Youtful vigor is for teens. Kids are REALLY weak anon. Like its easy to forget just how weak someone thats like 8~ is. Even an out of shape adult is just massively advantaged against a child, a spear is dangerous sure, but you have so many other advantages that its very much in your favor. Put it another way: would you feel comfortable taking on a polar bear 1v1 with nothing but a spear? No, probably not. You might be able to hurt the bear, but if it comes at you you are FUCKED.

What if magic was just gunfights but worth cool illusory shit like in the hit shounen anime Demon Slayer with all the Elemental effects of the breathing and swordfighting not being real and only imagined by the users. That would be so subversive and quirky.
>>97552488human children are weak, and do not need to using nothing but pre-adolescent strength and their own intelligence to survive without societal/parental helpadmittedly having satiety does make it so you can spend as long as you damn well please in this fight so long as you can avoid getting stabbed and being put on the ground, it doesnt take much to kill someone though especially with something pointy so do be careful, people always underestimate goblins, till they die to themoh also your bear analogy doesnt work cause bears have claws and jaws, you have nails that break from losing grip on groceries and jaws nowhere near strong or big enough to do anything besides go for a neck artery if youre really lucky and accurate also bite attacks tend to be rather risky cause your head is right there, miss, and youre dead, even a pre-adolescent has enough strength to clean your clock if they hit you in the head especially if with a stick, take a hit like that and by the time you recover youre already deadoh almost forgot bears have enough hide and meat on them to tank a spear hit usually, sometimes even bullets, do you have hide thick enough to stop a spear even if wielded by a goblin who knows how to use itregardless, treat it like a souls game, if you get hit youre dead, and you can take as many hours trying to kill the same enemy as you need, and youll probably be fine, this'll be good practice getting used to satieties gnawing hunger as well, every advantage matters especially in later stages
>>97552168Personally i like to think humans were able to achieve some of those great feats like the building of the pyramids and whatnot by themselves without the help of magic or aliensAnd im also someone who would like it of magic and/or aliens are/were real but eh grandeur of historical human achievements is pretty based

>>97550705Correct me if I'm wrong, but sequences 3, 1, and 0 of Abyss do not induce any mental changes as a premise like its other sequences, so they are safe to switch to.
>BoonSatiety>1st challenge I don't know if I'm crazy but given there's no time limit, and I don't need to eat or drink, I feel like I could eventually build a raft that doesn't suck and cross the river. Jungle challenge is just too damn dangerous. It might take me weeks or months if my raft idea fails but I can probably cross it somehow, even if I have to somehow dam it up with trees or break the banks or something. Rocks and trees will me there eventually. >2nd Challenge Assault - Regeneration. I mean you fucking gotta. Regeneration is just too powerful of an opportunity to miss in anyway. Just be fast and stab with thar spear and kill quickly. It shouldn't exactly be hard, if you can just avoid the one guy on the battlefield. >3rd Challenge Mine. Not picking mine is crazy because it opens up an *incredible* opportunity. A week in total darkness sucks but it's literally just you and the dark. >Greed (Upgraded) For starters, taking the free Boon from upgraded - Combat/wisdom/sword technique of lord Damian. But then comes the *real* prize. Doing Zombies. 50% Strength boost + 100% = 500 kills? The goal here isn't survival, it's finding out the best method to cause cities to burn. It says kill, it doesn't say how. Massive fires are going to be your absolute best friend here. See a building? Get a thing of gas, burn it. Find oil, find matches, etc. Sure, you'll need to fully pad yourself and probably find safe places to sleep but you've got to find a city and burn it to the ground asap. And then, if there's time, burn another. It's the best way to kill the most zombies in the least time. Fire spreads so if you just go balls to the wall and really set it up, lure zombie swarms into kill zones with extremely loud noises, etc, a million dead zombies in a month might be doable. Maybe more, maybe far less, it's really hard to say.

>>97553264Let's see some builds, chief. Fly high
>>97553255>>97548439>>97553255>4th ChallengeYou need defense. Teleporting all around would be cool but a bullet would still kill you. Even with like 100x human strength, you absolutely need defense. So frontal Assault on 600 goblins it is. >5th Challenge Assuming my mass zombie killing plan worked, I'm reasonably certain I just chuck a tree at the thing or punch it to death, in the face alone.Sadly, don't want to trade any boons and I don't really think I am able to trade Greed's upgraded Boon. Or am I? I mean, I used it to *select* damian's wisdom but theoretically, if I offer it up, I lose that Boon but someone else gets to select a Boon from their challenge. If that's the case... Lee, get over here and give me the ability to not need sleep you bastard. Also Josephine, just cuz they're cool.

>>97550705>Q: Can an "Illuminator" demonstrate the power of "civilization" in other ways? For example: preventing targets from correctly using "civilization" technology; protecting oneself or defending against attacks by summoning "civilization" image projections; even realizing certain "civilization" effects (almost similar to "miracles," because if something is a core element of "civilization," they can do it). For example: rebuilding a damaged city at extremely fast speed, because "civilization" is embodied in infrastructure construction; clearing certain sources of corruption, which embodies the influence of "civilization" in public health and sanitation, such as sewer systems; can even rapidly transport materials or personnel, or impede such transportation (because "civilization" is also part of the transportation industry).>A: 1.

>>97550705Is there a tldr for pathways?
>>97546691>From my point of view, Starship Troopers isn't satire.>A militaristic society deeply terrifies leftoids, so that's means it's a very good thing.The original book was Heinlein's argument that the widespread military service was the solution to the problems of his day:*Chickenhawk politicians keep sending soldiers into Vietnam? Only let veterans run for office or vote.*Worried about the military staging a soft coup? Make all political candidates resign from the military before they can run.*Poverty/disability got you down? Require the military to take ALL applicants.*Racism and bigotry a problem? Send enlistees to boot camp on another continent, and make it so miserable, that they'll HAVE to rely on each other to pass.*Tired of sailors having a woman in every port, or of men not respecting women? Make all the naval positions (blue water or outer space) female-only, and require infantry candidates to demonstrate proper etiquette while dealing with them.(The movie was only loosely influenced by the novel. No coed showers, and Johnny Rico was a short Philippino teen, not some Southern jock. On the other hand, the book had them in power armor.)
>>97553587>there a tldr for pathways?In Lord of the Mysteries, "pathway" is similar to character class in an RPG. It defines your powers, and what you have to do to improve. "Sequence" is roughly analagous to level (smaller numbers are better).Pathway also loosely defines what faction (you) belong to. In the setting, the monotheistic God fractured into Greek/Norse-tier gods. And the Greek/Norse-tier gods later fractured into the Pathways. Thus people on Pathways from the same god are usually sympathetic to each other, at least at the low level Sequences. (Achieving high level Sequences require resources and feats that are hard to come by, resulting in more competition.)There are also some Pathways based on eldritch interlopers, but they follow the same basic pattern.The wiki gives a pretty good description of each Pathway:https://lordofthemysteries.fandom.com/wiki/Pathways
