Do you ever come across a cyoa that gives you the suspicion that they only made it to scratch that creative writing itch?Jrpg traitor for instance. CLEARLY the author just wanted to create a bunch of esoteric and bizarro sounding abilities.
>>97717425magi case
>>97717282Reasons why anons hate this cyoa1. You can’t be stronger than level 6 2. The guild sucks 3. Waifus are low quality 4. It’s gay
>>97717440
>>97717441homophobia in the big 26?
>>97717231
>>977174410. Danmarat
>>97717449
>>97717441the most important one is that it's based on some who cares franchise and doesn't do a good job of making it seem interesting
>>97717481
>>97717453I’m gay anon; I’ve always found gay people to be highly weird and depraved individuals. I’m not saying str8 people can’t be weird or degenerated either, but it’s more so present and pronounced in the homosexual community. Gays also lack survival instinct; they’d waddle up to the barrel of a shotgun pointed at them, lube it up, and deep throat it. “Blast me daddy uwu”. BANG. The firer probably thinks he did the world a favor. As a gay man I’m giving you a pass to point out how problematic gay people are, too.
>>97717492
>>97717500
>>97717271There aren't any. Go read a book or watch a movie. Trying to shove what belongs in a story medium like a book or movie into a CYOA only makes CYOAs garbage. It's the same thing as with shoving elaborate stories into video games. If I wanted a story I'd go look for the media where stories are good, not where they're hampered into a garbage state by the inappropriate choice of medium, while also ruining the things the medium is good at in the first place.
>>97717499you have the repressed homophobia
>>97717508
>>97717517
>>97717513>if you criticize it, you’re phobic of it No.
>>97717499All fetishes are deviations from the sexual base genetically imprinted in humansBeing gay is, in all effects, a fetish.The more fetishes someone has, the more likely they are to be deranged. They also tend to bunch up
>>97717547>Being gay is, in all effects, a fetishBorderline. The fetishistic aspect is enforced as a form of “gay culture”. So if you don’t like butt stuff you’re seen as a heretic. I’m serious.
>wanting to fuck the same sex is a fetishNo it’s just a variant of wanting to fuck another (hopefully consenting) human
in common vernacular, anything that gets you off is your fetishin technical jargon, only inanimate objects like for example shoes are fetishes
>>97717558No I mean that definitionally anything that does not result in baby being made is a fetishThere is nothing inherently wrong with them, but they tend to be symptoms of other issues>>97717568Having consensual sex is a part of most fetishesFetishes are variants of sexual attraction
>>97717589>definitionally anything that does not result in baby being made is a fetishSource?
>>97717597ME
>>97717425Is there...any other reason that an author could be driven to make a CYOA?
>>97717597Common sense
>>97717663>Be infertile>Consensual vanilla hetero sex in the missionary position is now a fetish
>>97717589>No I mean that definitionally anything that does not result in baby being made is a fetishYou could argue that. Except at the bare minimum it’s just genitalia mashing with what you’re attracted to. >No I mean that definitionally anything that does not result in baby being made is a fetishProtected sex is a fetish? Maybe.
>>97717676>>97717589Also the inverse: wanting to be impregnated by tentacles and become a seedbed, laying lots and lots of baby eggs, is obviously not a fetish and is the height of vanilla
>>97717182How difficult is purging your Anomalous Imprint if you reach GOO status?
>wanting to be impregnated by tentacles and become a seedbed, laying lots and lots of baby eggs, is obviously not a fetish and is the height of vanillaYes
>>97717739Your worldview is a very strange one, but I can't deny that it has its own odd charm
My fetish is gil
>>97717589>A fetish is an intense, often irrational devotion to a specific, typically non-sexual object, body part, or activity, which may provide sexual gratification (a sexual fetish) or serve as a fixation/obsession. Common examples include feet, materials like rubber or leather, or items of clothing.When you make up a definition to a widely known concept, you just look stupid.

>>97718365
>>97718367I don't like it but it's not too bad and it's associated with very powerful origins and chaos sea floatsam
>>97718402Its fine for chaos sea floatsam and maybe apocalyptical survival, but unsealed artifact and runaway knowledge origins not worth it.
>>97718452(me)And sefirah castle transmigrator is strictly superior to chaos sea floatsam.
>>97718509>strictly superiorGoing the way of the protagonist always is, in franchise-based CYOAs
>>97718169dark trailblazer specifically can't start with potion formula or ingredients and must learn and gather them all by themselvesremember that you are among the *first* people to become a beyonder, there is no formula to be found because literally no one has discovered it yet
>>97718544You can buy them, and then you are guarenteed to get them by fate.
>>97718560I'd like to thank Mrs. Fate one day. She's basically carrying this whole CYOA so she must be a benevolent entity.
>>97718560yeah at some unknown time in the future but you don't *start* with them. you have no idea about any formula until fate hands you the knowledge
>>97718576Stuff you purchase with knowledge points is exempt from Sealed Knowledge, and even if you did forget you at least aren't going to die until you get the formulas and ingredients.
>>97718576Just imagine some poor fucker without Gathering Invitation or the right companions who can't get even his s8 formula while every other anon is a demigod alrady.
>>97718618>Today, we laugh at Anon
>>97718598anon-kun... your reading comprehension.... it says right here that you don't start with anything you buy with that but that it is something you will gain at some future date.
My danmachi build is the strongest
>>97718598>you at least aren't going to die until you get the formulas and ingredientsis that really how it works? it does say coincidences aren't absolute so I assumed it doesn't protect you from anything, just makes some events certain as long as you can get to them
>>97718689Yes, that's my point. You know formulas are a thing and that you will get them eventually. I don't know why people keep trying to pull trap options out of their ass.
>>97718713>I don't know why people keep trying to pull trap options out of their ass.Tank tried to babyproof the cyoa, so it's up to anons to pick up the slack and make sure others fail
>>97718690You can’t really determine power levels by builds alone when the cyoa is vague as hell about a lot of things
>>97718734All cyoas are like that; “my headcanon > your headcanon”, “nuh uh”, etc
>>97718703No, that's not how it works. Literally nothing in the CYOA says that's how it works. Anon is pulling that out of his ass
My reading comprehension is superior to your reading comprehension.
>>97718703Coincidences mean fate bends over backwards to give you certain things. It's not absolutely 100% guarenteed but very likely to happen. So as long as you aren't head on pants retarded you'll be fine.
why the fuck did tankista even put it that way? even if trailblazers get dropped all their ingredients and formulas together they can't go from s9-s3 in one day without becoming a crazy monsterwas he that afraid of people grabbing a good sealed artifact day 1 and mind-raping/killing everyone?
>>97718509Nta but disagree, Chaos sea doesn't weaken Klein.>>97718573Goddess of Fate is trying to destroy the earth, same for Circle of Inevitability.On the other hand CoI is the most powerful and genuine angel of redemption, and Key of Light is Buddah.
>fate keeps you alive until you receive your coincidences>take uniqueness option>you are now guaranteed to live until uniquenesses appear and gain sequence 1 to accommodate it>dont need to buy anything else since your ascension is securedthis is what fatefags would genuinely have you believe
>>97717182If I get temporarily a power that would normally give me a permanent power when the temporary power goes does the permanent follows?
Ultimate.God.Need.Before. I.Die.
>>97718859You don't have to reach S1 to accomodate the uniqueness so that wouldn't work.

>>97718838>Nta but disagree, Chaos sea doesn't weaken Klein.Transmigrator have same shit as floatsam, only without crippling status.
>>97718968
>>97718826>It's not absolutely 100% guarenteed but very likely to happen.very likely to happen, therefore you are guaranteed to live to see it?or very likely to happen if your alive when its possible?one of these guarantees survival, another doesnt
>>97718976You're BMA?
>>97718981
>>97718976EntroCHAD anon btw
>>97718978(me)And Adam is more important than Klein.
>>97718991
>>97718976>(You)r favorite build was for my cyoa.My favorite build was the one I made for the Spiritcaller/Cosmic God Ascension/Multiversal Conquest/Omnipotent Throne/R.O.B. Pantheon Council chain of CYOAs.It was a grand adventure that lasted a lifetime....
>>97718985Presumably as in, the event simply high odds of happening. Either by trying to keep you alive until it happens or by simply making the event happen sooner, depending on fate's whims.
>>97718985>>97719068Someone should have asked about this when Tank was answering questions. Now all we can rely on is headcanon.
>>97719105I think as a rule we should err on the side of 'modern day is not a trap and you'll get the stuff you paid for' but that's just me.
*sprays body spray in your face until you pass out*
>>97718978>>97718999But you can more easily go better than Adams than Klein, stealing Ancient Sun God's plan, and using talents.
>>97719138>body sprayunwashed stinky neet anons wouldn't have that
>>97718890So the uniqueness option gives you good odds of accommodating the uniqueness as a S3, then?
>>97718713>>97718730Sequence 3 of the wheel of fortune let's you undo fateso what if some chud decides to simply undo your fate? now you get NOTHING
>>97719172>Arrangements capable of influencing the Wheel of Light uniqueness and the Key of Light will get no diffed by a mere S3
>>97719159Maybe? I'm just going off the wiki here. Though you would still have to somehow succeed at the ritual.
>>97719195yeap
>>97719149True.I smell so bad that I could cause people to vomit.
>>97719141>But you can more easily go better than Adams than KleinI disagree, Klein path is much more easy.And if we talking about talents, by just taking all the time in the world, any origin instantly becomes nepobaby greater than ever Lumian.
>>97719195>Arrangements capable of influencing the Black Emperor uniqueness will get no diffed by a mere S3Enjoy true nature of fate, George.
>>97717182Can scribes record sealed artifact's powers?
>>97719238>any origin instantly becomes nepobaby greater than ever LumianEspecially because absolutely everyone will sponsor your ascension to great old one, especially if you target sefira they don't care about.Anyway my point is more that Adam died without ever achieving true pillarhood, while Klein became one, if you take his role you can go better than him, while Klein isn't so easily surpassable, IMHO.
>>97719218Are you fat? The irony of stink maxing is that a small percentage of women LIKE it when you reek like fucking acid, so long as you’re already fit/skinny, and/or masculine. It’s weird.
>>97719273Girls are so gross. I remember catching my sister sniffing her boyfriend’s underwear, and I’m just like, “wut”.
>>97719289And boys are any less gross? There’s an entire stereotype around men raiding female dorms for their used panties.
>>97719265>if you take his role you can go better than himDoubt. First, he make a lot of important shit before final battle, and second, you wouldn't get smooth sailing with True Creator and God of Wisdom unlike him.
>>97719265(me)Overall, GA have four True Gods. Compared to this, LoM is cakewalk.
>>97719375.Meant reply to this post >>97719325, my bad
>>97719273>Are you fat?I think we both know the answer to that.
>>97719325>>97719375I was more talking about handling PMA, by using the strategy of grazing+virtual persona that was explained, so you can avoid risking PMA's revival.
Can you timeloo>>97719325p a characteristic to age it super fast and remove any lingering wills?
>>97719458go to sleep anon.
>>97719458That's kind of similar to how a twilight giant purify them through their authority of dawn.
>>97719434Or you can just tell Adam about method, idk.Anyway, gathering uniqueness of LoM would be much easer compared to GA, and Adam would achieve this with more certainty then player.And, you know, just the fact that we arguing which path is easier, indicate that origins unbalanced as fuck.
>>97717440Arcane II is hilariously OP.
>>97719505Honestly considering Adam devised that method (he explained it when fighting god of storms, eternal blazing sun and god of knowledge and wisdom) I don't get why he didn't use it.Anyway yeah, I like the origins but I wouldn't say they are balanced.

>>97719993My early gameplan is to turn into werewolf and then into wraith, and then forcing advancement through the Wolf Hex Coat and then through Ghost Talisman, if that doesn't work then I have taken pretty much all of the knowledge options that should give me a good idea of how to accelerate the early sequence advancements. The only one I might be stuck at is Lunatic and Zombie, I would need to depend on the forbidden literature notebook to learn the ritual and magic to summon a shapeshifter or zombie, to mitigate the madness from reading it, I have cursed leather to keep me rational and Selby to suppress the madness effect.S4 Puppet is the next big hurdle, I have all the puppet components I need from buttons, setting aside button's throat for S3 and I can use button's mummified body for the ritual.S3 I'll use button's throat for advancement and as for ritual I'll just e-celeb vtube my way to 1000 followers.As for S2 and beyond, the requirements seem alright, I just don't know enough of the source material to know how to pull it off, but I wonder if for S1 I can use the corpse of Jesus Christ and for S0 the original cross and nails as substitutes.I'll stash all of my sealed artifacts in my hidden realm and use my immense wealth to build influence and connections.There we go, r8, h8, masturb8.
>Do you seriously think something on the level of remnants of a divine kingdom will appear earlier than a s3 artifact?You ignore everything else I said about items and focused on that?>Advancement IngenuityYou're delusional if you think you can rely on it to advance faster and with better methods than someone who bought the formulas, ingredients, and 3 s3 knowledge path partners to pave the road.>It's not wise to rely on inherently chaotic fate too much.You say that like as if your build isn't far more luck based, not buying ingredients, full formulas, nor someone who knows the later formulas.Do you actually think through what you write or do you just write the first thing that comes to mind regardless of the strength of the argument?
>>97716829 >>97720061
>>97720064>BountyIf coincidences guarantee survival then Bounty is free points. Feds will never catch your companions thanks to fate.If they don't then Bounty is a death sentence for any companion you get early on. A death sentence for you too if you're deemed an accomplice.

>>97720139Depending on your build, there isn't much you can do versus the feds from sequences 9 thru 6. Bounty means your companions have no usable identity and are actively being hunted. No bank accounts, no housing, nothing. If you get deemed an accomplice then you're in the same boat. Where do you keep your Affluence if it all gets confiscated by the feds? Are you going to carry massive amounts of cash and gold around? Fate may imply that you gain these things but it does not imply that you keep them indefinitely.
>>97720156>anon thinks of successful people>the contrast they provide for anon's own lack of success makes him sad>anon needs a framing by which the success of the successful people is actually bad>"They're theistic satanists that eat and rape children for imaginary power.">anon pats himself on the back, gently. those successful people? morally below him.

>>97720255Are you one of those that would wish for a million dollars instead of superman’s powers?
>>97720168>all bad guys are controlled by le israelImagine being this retarded.
>>97720270Think logically. Everyone starts at sequence 9 here. You're not getting any significant powers for at least a few sequences. If you get a bounty on you early and become a nonperson, what are you doing for food or housing until the trifles of mortal society are no longer a concern? Offer divination services on the street? Rob a bank or some rando? Summon a spirit world creature and hope it can make you money and doesn't passively rape you with its existence?
>>97720308just steal it bro lolerrorchad btw not sure if that matters
>>97720308>Think logicallyNo.
>>97720308I don't get it, just shove your partners with bounties in your hidden realm pocket mansion.What are the Feds going to do?
>>97720308The player never starts with a bounty.High level beyonders all know how to interact with the spiritual world. Ritual effects are out of context, inconceivable hacks in modern day. Any magic that can change appearance or create illusions easily bypass modern detection. Even the most basic spirit body creatures are undetectable spies and invincible butchers.
>>97720340>hidden realm pocket mansionAnd when exactly are you getting that? Things are filtering in slowly, mid sequence things don't even exist on the planet yet. The description mentions that even high sequence beyonders would covet something like that, so does it correspond to a high sequence artifact? Do you gain access to the realm at sequences 9 or 8? 7 or 6? 5 or 4?
I haven't been following the conversation but when you say feds do you literally mean just feds? Present day American federal agents?
>>97720308>Everyone starts at sequence 9 here.And half the paths give you enough spirituality to do magic unrelated to beyonder powers.
>>97720147 (me)I took advancement ingenuity to develop more moral rituals for the black king, for Corinna, Dishonor and Lost half-record gives me tendentially powers at sequence 5, with outliers, wich I can copy with my scribe abilities if they're interesting.I would like to ally with the greatest number of good-aligned people possible, if someone is interested in something I have, be that my rituals, safe space with the hidden realm, knowledges I have, advancement ingenuity+guiding interest for help growing, help in travelling or anything else I'm perfectly ready to talk it out and offer help, even if similar help will be expected, if it's not a problem.I want to slowly search for abilities of sealing to copy, to fullfill my sequence 4 ritual, after wich the next major roadblock is sequence 0, because of wich I had to remake the build to buy the perk uniqueness.My partners are from door to have people who know what I'm doing, sun to copy their notarization, to weaken the demigod and empower myself (and because we need more sun in the world), Lawyer to distort the opponent and magnify myself, again I will use advancement ingenuity to try and develop better rituals, the savant because savants are good, wheel of fortune because there is too little of an effort from us in that direction.What do you think about my build?
>>97720365Yes. Federal agents
>>97720365Nta but yes. He's probably the same ratard that thinks guns can kill gods.
>>97720365Not really involved in the discussion but yes, bounty means one of your partners is wanted, wich means the feds will be your enemy, and at low sequence you're pretty much a random guy.
>>97720350The player doesn't start with a bounty, the people they interact with do. Bounty description explicitly says if you're found aiding the criminal you can get a bounty yourself.What magics that can change appearance or create illusions are available to you at early sequences?
>>97720387Theoretically a charm could do that. Only problem is that you start with a limited amount of charms, hopefully it will be enough to get through lower sequences.
>>97720387>What magics that can change appearance or create illusions are available to you at early sequences?Rituals and spells with high spirituality. Fool has that for one.
>>97717182Can you complete your rituals in a videogame?If they are solely internal, based on the way you act to predigest characteristics then any sufficiently realistic virtual environment should plausibly be able to accomodate the ritualYou're only acting after all?I realise it would take very strong schizophrenia to care feel about a virtual world they way you do about the real one, but tupla's are real, so I'm sure if you worked hard enough you could delude yourself into thinking that mismanaging your wow guild is enough for black emperor
>>97720426No. Advancement rituals are symbolic stuff that are used to do stuff like tie you to some abstract concept. If just do the bare minimum following the text or misinterpret, the ritual fails.
>>97720374Maybe its some sort of magic anti God gun.
>>97720468OkBut can you use the acting method in a video game?
>>97720374Tbf guns are still very effective until you get to Sequence 5, which is where you'll either have to supplement it with your own powers or a Sealed Artifact to boost the lethality.
>>97720490No. Acting is not “you believe you’re x”, it is “making the characteristic believe you’re x”. Would anyone believe you’re a soldier if you play CoD? No.
>>97720061>You ignore everything else I said about items and focused on that?Yes, because it completely counters your point about early advantages. And because Hidden Realm is the only thing even worth mentioning. I don't think Forbidden Literature is good enough compared to Cosmic Scrapbook + Polymath. And s8-s7 ingredients aren't something you can't reasonably obtain with the gathering.>You're delusional if you think you can rely on it to advance faster and with better methods than someone who bought the formulas, ingredients, and 3 s3 knowledge path partners to pave the road.I already explained that exploit: if you know supplementary ingredients and corresponding beyonder creatures, main ingredients aren't a problem. If that isn't how that works for some reason, and I won't be able to find alternative ways by myself with Broker imitations or something else, there is still help from Chaoswalker -> Soothayer.>buying ingredients, full formulas, nor someone who knows the later formulas.Yes, that exactly is reliance on fate, because In Modern Day your purchases work as Coincidences. Fate, not luck.
>>97720507in the anime people dodge bullets at S8the author himself was involved with it and said the anime abilities are canon
>>97720507>g-guns are only effective until you get to Sequence 5-ACK!!!>Compared to a Guardian, a Dawn Paladin’s defense is like that of a child versus an adult. A Guardian would probably be able to withstand the bullets of a steam rifle... In the wars of this era, they wouldn’t die unless they were focused on by large-caliber cannons.from chapter 311 btweven the HIGHEST defence pathway gets RAWDOGGED by low cal sniper rifles at sequence 6, and you think sequence 5 KEKS can resist the gun? when they cant even resist 1800s era cannons? how foolish of you>>97720533>muh HECKING bullet dodgingonly possible thanks to spiritual intuition btwjobs to anyone with anti intuition powers btwout of the mouth of sequence 5 reaper lumian he would still get SLAUGHTERED by guns if his intuition was hampered with or if he was attacked from over 100 meterstime to lay down this cope once and for all. beyonderkeks LOSE to guns. i know this makes weebs very very angry but you cannot live in denial of truth

Nah, I'd win?>Yes, that exactly is reliance on fate, because In Modern Day your purchases work as Coincidences. Fate, not luck.So you believe that your luck is greater than the cyoa's fate.
>>97720517>I don't think casting any spell is good enough compared to copying s9-7 abilities.
>>97720750>any spellnta but what? isnt it just a few spells from a few pathways? it's not like you can cast a s3 transmog curse at s9
>>97720770>isnt it just a few spells from a few pathways?That's for the 2nd purchase. Read the 3rd purchase.>it's not like you can cast a s3 transmog curse at s9True, but that's a limitation of energy, not the literature.

>>97720874There are plenty of ways to block or resolve madness. Sun, Visionary, Mother, Moon, to name a few.
>>97720808And what sort of spells (that you know exist In Modern Day) do you even want?
>>97720916>that you know exist In Modern DayThere are no differences in existence between knowledge in modern day and canon.https://lordofthemysteries.fandom.com/wiki/Knowledge_Moor>Because Knowledge is discovered and not invented, all Knowledge originally existed within the Knowledge Moor.
>>97720901>implying that there isn't a chance he won't draw a madness card that instantly lobotomizes his mindBrother, you are NOT Klein. Cuttlefish and Evernight aren't there to Deus Ex Machina away your problems and lead you straight to godhood.
>>97720901if you roll bad and start dying right there which one of those pathways can save you?some of the madness are downright crippling at best and will kill you on the spot at worst
>>97720948I doubt you can access Knowledge Moor this way. But anyway, what exactly are the spells you want?
>>97720874Technically, you don't have to be the one to use it.>tell someone about the existence of a spell>have them use the book and cast the spell>analyze the spellcastingUse people on their deathbed and pay their families for moral and practical reasons. It's like organ donation.
>>97720693>Right, ingredients are worthless.In comparison? Yes.>That only comes into existence once there are s5 beyonders.We don't have precise information on when, and "Chloe's" description implies otherwise. But even if that is true, Readers still will be stuck at s4 until angelic stuff show up.>You're just gonna figure out the rituals, huh? Nah, I'd win?You really want to be anal about this, huh? Direct quote from the build:>With my knowledge of pathways and beyonder creatures, incomplete formulas won't be a problem even if I remember only supplementary ingredients and rituals. >So you believe that your luck is greater than the cyoa's fate.I believe in the actual powers of myself, my Sealed Artifacts and Partners. I also don't believe that Bounty spam is free points.
>>97720964>if you roll bad and start dying right there which one of those pathways can save you?Moon and Mother.
>>97720213So do we have consensus on who these In Modern Day fuckers are going to come out in the top 10?
>>97721056Engineer #1
>>97721056EL FUNESTO NUMERO UNO
>>97720982Teleportation, mind control, transfiguration, sealing... there are spells for just about anything you can think of, but they also overlap with other beyonder abilities. I suppose the best spells are those that provide what you lack.
>>97720986>patient immediately gets taken over by an evil spirit and kills everyone in the vicinity including youless risky, but still risky. make a list of everyone with forbidden literature so i know to stay away from these time bombs
>>97721069My Chained wife turns him into a cursed onahole actually
>>97721090That's your fault for making them cast an evil spirit possession spell.
>>97721091Your chained wife is a thot who craves the werewolve knot over your limp dick.
>>97721075I think you need precise enough knowledge, not just generic description of a desired function. Like "that specific defensive spell of Lucca Brewster that gives defense compared to s5 Warrior."
>>97721102>he doesn't know>Another's Revival>It might be an evil spirit, or a resurrecting remnant of an ancient deity, or anything else along those lines.anons going to be irresponsibly spreading demons and evil spirits everywhere. when you see hundreds dead on the news, know he is to blame
>>97721118That's a cyoa option derived from past history, not normally applicable. Madness can't teleport and mind control evil spirits into possessing people.
>>97720147are you a woman or a man
>>97721104Looks like Google's on your side today, I can't find a good picture
>>97721117Maybe. That's a matter that would need tank to confirm.

>>97721310I remember reading these stupid SDA waifu pickers when I was about 17 or 18; some of the bigger sensations around the time I started coming here
I think this will conclude the threadly dump for now
>>97721318
never mind. This one is the cherry on top
What if Father of Devils was Mother of Devils and she used her desire powers to turn you into her husband and made a lot of little devils with you?
>>97721360That sounds pretty gay.

What’s the most broken 7th sorcery magic and why is it that fire magic shit that can make an army of invulnerable fire people?
>>97721502The one that turns everyone retarded / perceptively blind to the obvious
>>97721273The cyberpunk one is shitty grimderp where the only winning move is to not play. I don't know if the Alpha Centauri one is the one I'm thinking of but I didn't read that one, it looked fine at a glance but I can't give a proper opinion otherwise. Backyarders was cool, a comfy one pager. As I said, one of the few, not the only good one. You need to also remember that he makes NSFW cyoas as well, and those tend to be always shit, I haven't seen a good one yet. Sometimes he has good concepts but horrible execution, other times it's just shit all around. I have to admit that his cyoas do tend to look good at least.
>>97721580I never really understood why people are bothered by "unwinnable" or "misery porn" CYOAs. I get it more with video games because you may have invested significant time and there's a norm of seeking a win. Not so with CYOAs, which I think is one of their best traits! That being said, I very rarely check out NSFW ones, and the few I have looked at are pretty much always bad - I'm sure that's just as true here. Why would anyone make or consume them? Some of BTG's - plus those that one anon gives as examples of interesting formatting/structure - are at least vaguely enticing. Who wants plain old fetish imagery? I would venture to say that any good NSFW CYOA would probably be just as good if it were SFW, with the same being true the other way around
>>97721639>I never really understood why people are bothered by "unwinnable" or "misery porn" CYOAsThey are? I gravitate towards ‘comfydark’ settings like dark souls so I enjoy cyoas like honor among thieves.
>>97721639>I never really understood why people are bothered by "unwinnable" or "misery porn" CYOAs.That's just whinejeet and you should ignore him. The FOTM right now should prove that /cyoag/ at large has no problem with difficult or even doomed settings.

>>97722133https://lordofthemysteries.fandom.com/wiki/GodsScroll down to the 5th epoch chart.
>>97722133Moon is basically impossible to take too, none of the Talents really directly address the problem it has and you're basically stuck hoping you can get Klein, Adam, or Evernight, or even some combination of the three, to come up with some kind of cheat to circumvent it.
It's funny see how afraid of even trying to challenge Amon anons are. Unironically way more of a filter than Ottar or Orsted.
>>97717182Best Pathway for Amulets/Charms?Best for Forbidden Literature lvl2?
>>97721153It's written on my build.>>97721165But honestly I didn't even notice that.>>97720874>holy shit thats opRitualistic magic isn't that strong.That said the "random bout of madness isn't necessarily one of the madness options, it won't kill you.
>>97722214Advancement ingenuity exists exactly for that.
>>97722225Add him to the next ritualposts I guess.
>>97722254>Amulets/Charms>Forbidden Literature lvl2White Tower
>>97722214huh... what do you mean the talents don't address the problem? Downstream Protection to guard you from MGoD corruption and Advancement Ingenuity to create an alternative advancement ritual from the impossible one. Or is there some third issue?
>>97722266White tower charms and amulets are useless though. What is the amulet supposed to protect you with? Knowledge? Language translation charms already exist, it's called google translate

>>97722283The true nightmare of Tok.
>>97722260>>97722269Advancement Ingenuity helps you get around the fact that one of your Characteristics is sealed in the Western Continent. It doesn't help you with the fact that the Sequence 0 seat is already jointly occupied, you can't put your butt in a filled seat.
>>97722329At the start of the story isn't it just in the hands of the Evernight Goddess?Also there are ways to enter the western continent.
>>97722329The concept of the moon is what's occupied, not the True God spot.You could invent some other bullshit way to reach Sequence 0 without having to deal with occupying the concept of the moon, ending up intruding on it after the fact of your advancement.
Wouldn't accommodating the Moon uniqueness basically fulfill the ritual of the Moon S0?
>>97717182>You could say that it only means things are likely to happen if you manage to stick around until they happen. You could also say that as long as you bought something, you will be guaranteed to survive to obtain what you had purchased.>Both of these interpretations are too extreme and can't be truly said to be correct.>When you are spending coincidence points on advancement (as in, strictly purchasing the Sequence instead of buying something that is too far into the future), it is best to believe that 99% of the time, it will happen. However, if you manage to screw up on your own, the realisation will also be screwed up. Maybe if you managed to get yourself killed before you were supposed to advance, you will be raised as an undead, acquire the right Beyonder characteristics and forced to advance. Maybe you didn't bother to look for the supplementary ingredients and directly consumed a characteristic without any rituals, thinking your future coincidences will ensure your safety - but they did not, and you just lost control after advancing.>But in general terms, you should be viewing it as simply making you significantly likely to advance the normal way. Do not rely on coincidences alone.Tankista's opinions on coincidences
>>97722379That's the Uniqueness, not one of the Sequence 1 characteristics. Brother of Omebella donated it to Brood Hive in the First Epoch.
