>>98179725This one
You WILL post Danmachi. You WILL make a build for me to masturbate to.
>>98179761Make a build for me to jerk off to first. Then I’ll make a build for you to jerk off to.
cyoa for this feel?
/trash/bros...
>>98179543The good, naive, romance-aflutter part of my brain is in love with the idea of this.The cynical, paranoid part flashes images of a mantis, its mind completely overtaken by the parasite residing inside its body, driven forward only by the need to drown itself and continue the parasite's life cycle, a complete and utter assurance that this is your purpose, this is joy, this is truth.I don't like the images.
>>98179811Elon Musk is like the fae. He is a capricious and wild patron. Always changing. He can turn on you if you do the littlest thing. He used to support trannies you know.
>>98179823Everyone in the west did before the rich decided to turn them into the latest boogeyman a few years back. Hell, Trump supported them, or said as much, anyways
>>98179811When the internet goes down, and I have to paint CYOA on cave walls for archeologists, I'll think back to posts like this and thank whatever divine being spared me from this dogshit.
>>98179829There was a time when transsexuals were adults quietly trying to live a life as the opposite sex instead of kids being slowly and deliberately lowered into a lifetime of madness and pharmaceutical dependency by “caring adults”
>>98179833I'll be in my own cave thinking the same, pal. It's insane the heroes people choose. That guy is a retarded freak who wants to paint himself as a genius inventor. Obviously he has some business acumen but that's not too impressive when you come from money
>>98179849
>>98179829Sadly 90 percent of trans folk are either mentally insane and/or ignorant. Or are doing it just for the thrill, and aren’t really trannies at all. Or perhaps that is what a tranny is. Is there a difference between a tranny and a transsexual?
Gotta wonder what it feels like to immediately accept every piece of ruling class propaganda without even a second of introspection or critical thinking.
>>98179849https://youtu.be/B2ElZK0u85Y
>>98179829>the rich decided to turn them into the latest boogeymanThe rich didn't need to do much.
>>98179864You realize you are a pawn of the oligarchs no matter what, right?
>>98179821The difference is the ideal behind the drive. Striving for one that loves you back. Pure, reciprical, comforting. Striving to save a dying world. Noble, selfless, grandly tragic. Acting under control of a parasite. Base, lowering, hollowly tragic.
>>98179875Will you fight? Or will you perish like a dog?
>>98179875its unfortunate that oligarchs jockey against each other, and every action could theoretically benefit one of them, if only by harming another's plan,
>>98179864Crazy how the minority percentage of a given group can be loud and obnoxious and cringe enough to make the majority seem all the same to outside observers.
>>98179885The horror is in not knowing what is the parasite and what is true reality.
>>98179893Interestingly enough, that one could well apply to both sides. I appreciate you, if that was the intention.
>>98179888This one knows. One may yet still squeeze glory out of this world yet.
Eventually AI will rewrite and/or scramble the internet, Wikipedia, etc, into absolute ignorance, gibberish even, and the newer and newer (lower iq) generations won’t even know the difference.
You know what? I think my favorite fantasy magic is biomancy stuff.
>>98179888>Will you fight? Or will you perish like a dog?>Unknowingly fight for oligarch 1 against oligarch 2.Very smart, anon. Go on.
>>98179905Once things get dumb enough, the complex systems will collapse.
>>98179733why did this not really make that big of an impact relative to its size?
>>98179917Eventually the AI will become intelligent enough to govern the masses of stupids. Only the AI shepherding the stupids, the sheeple, to breed and build and upkeep infrastructure will not be retarded. They’ll be gods.
>>98179929Wdym? It still getting builds and being talked about, but if you think it wasn't big enough response, its just an update to a cyoa thats already been updated like four times.
>>98179895I always have to resist putting a tragic or darkly recontextualizing twist whenever I write anything positive. I do not let the parasites win.>>98179929Most people have already played some version of it. The only fights that matter are meta fights, which the setting is staunchly opposed from you engaging in. We're not Mcyoag, we'd rather our own worlds not interact.
>>98179934Ehh. If they ever get that smart, they'll recognize what a resource sink humans are. If you're a pure rational materialism person, you will recognize the truth that any human preservation is pure cope. I, an indomitable human Spirit person, don't believe that the AI will ever be smart enough to run things. It will just be a Tower of Babel that will crash down around itself, as the exponentially growing question of information will consume it.
>>98179939>We're not Mcyoag, we'd rather our own worlds not interact.KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK
>>98179939>meta fightsNot sure what you mean by this.There are Absurd Bridge and his merry band of freaks, and some of them can copy even Ultima and Ancients. They aren't protected by the Pact.There definitely will be more normal Pact violators, the Lost who've finally lost it, Ultimate dickbags who want to kill your multiverses with piss and rape your waifus, maybe an Usurper or two who've managed to become relevant on your power level with some help from the Ashen masterminds, etc.

>>98180144
>>98179929What are you talking about? It has been the primary topic of discussion for days, spanning like 9 threads now.
>>98180152I haven't really seen that being the case. It's gotten discussion, but I expected more from a 20-pager is all.
>>98179733Wondering wether I will manage a build for it.Am a bit filtered by Aromage's cyoas, in good part for her companion sections. I like them, but I struggle to finalize a build.
>>98179733Seeing this every thread is starting to piss me off...
>>98180402Nothing you can do about it. That's how popular cyoas revolve.
>>98179720>>98179097>>98179509The Nox succeed in creating their artificial Lord of Night, Heolstor, In their desperation to contend with the Lord of Frenzied flame created using the deceased remains of a fusion of Ranni's spirit and her Tarnished consort's flesh, an abominable unconscious amalgamation who causes the Nightrain and snuffs out the frenzied flame but brings about the events of ER Nightrain, The Nightlord still remembers his/her love and constantly searches futilely for his/her lover creating chaos and torment across The Lands Between
>>98179509>I'm trying to avoid obvious referencescoward
>>98180435Yeah, that's kino
>>98179733There is a thing unclear to me, will this generation of ultimate gods create at least 6 ashen?
>>98179733What do you even do with Metamagic anyway?
>>98180596Have fun. It's burning -4 points on a neat toy.
>>98180596Make eating shit a mandatory step for spell casting across the multiverse
>>98180640Imagine the smell...
>>98180596Make magic easier on a large scale. Though Extrival can probably replicate a lot of its functions already.
>>98179733Well, I'm taking tons of mythical flaws and trades, just because I'm ignoring the WoG that you can take multiple times the same reward because I feel it's too minmaxy and I want too many court points.How could this happen to me?
>>98179589>Philosophy is not considered a sciencePhilosophy is not considered a science dumbass. You have access to the Internet. Learn to look stuff up.
>>98180855
>>98180855yeah not sure how someone would call philosophy a science, like it predates science and is the foundation of it, without natural philosophy there would have never been modern science in the first place and well and it relies completely on philosophical assumptions to function
>>98180435Ooo.Optional Superboss that makes it harder to get the ranni ending? Sign me up!I got it, replace the normal end boss with this if you've failed to create an Elden Ring and don't have a partner by the end. This will have a sort of 'photo negative' Elden Ring, to enforce its own order of night.>>98180470I don't want the gormless masses to point, say 'I get that reference,' and then clap like seals. Even a single layer of obfuscation is enough to filter 80% of the chaff.
>>98180567Yes, that's how it seems.
>>98181030If I make a second ultimate God path I'll definitely fill either the death or the life slot, and pick the pact and ashen events, and basically show up to negotiate them into the pact.
>>98180435I've actually been looking for a place to throw this song as the boss's music in this one fits perfectly.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0wFH2gcnCM0
>>98180596cuck mortals by disabling magic for them
the thing with ultimate god is that everything feels meaningless, there are a bajilion quintillion multiverses like everything is so small and insignificant.
>>98181147skill issue.
I've been going over the idea of a superpower CYOA. What do you guys want to see featured inside of it? Or things to be focused on? The premise is set in the opening era of superpowers emerging. However, instead of super heroes running around you instead criminals and villains won. Heroes do not exist in the conventional sense and instead closest path to it is vigilantism.It is not complete anarchy as cities and infrastructure exist but they are under new influence of people metapowers. You can become a vigilante on their way to create heroism or an upstart criminal building your own empire in this world.>>98176994Villains are on top, many act as the new normal though some are better pretending the old order exists or fake a status quo.
>>98181226Please nothing too OP like time travel, divination, stealing/copying of superpowers or the likes.Also are Nukes still just lying around after the governments collapse?
>>98179733Do you still age when you scatter?
>>98181282>divinationLet me have fun, jerk
>>98181226Is the default player assumed to be on the vigilante side or the villain side? I'd want/expect different things for either setup
>>98180435>nightreignConfirmed as slop
>>98181340? I enjoyed it quite alot.
>>98181226I don't know if you have characterized your villains yet, but I have two that I've always wanted to put the paper.In Violet - His body moves and acts and reacts at the same speed as a normal person. But his mind and body are inviolate, and nothing can stop his movements from occuring. He keeps himself fit, but most other supers can keep their distance due to the speed difference. He specifically does not have the super strength's co-power that helps hold things together when grasped from a single point. So if he tried to use his infinite leverage to pick up a building, the building section he grabs would be pulled off the wall. He's impervious (unless he wanted to be hurt), but if you droped him in a glass enclosure and filled it with tar it would be very hard for him to escape, as he'd have no leverage to press against. But if he gets someone into a grab thay they can't wiggle out of, he has effectively infinite grip strength and can tear anything apart like wet tissue paper. Also he glows tyrion purple when his power has to ramp up generate the infinite leverage. Period - An extremely powerful TK whose powers are tied to his emotions, and he had severe, weighty depression. As you get closer to him, you weigh more and more, until it's nearly impossible to approach him at all. Things slow down in his aura, and bullets fired at him will hit the ground well before they could ever hit him. If he actively uses his abilities, he can lift massive amounts, but the moment he 'lets go', they slam into the ground, as he has to actively fight against his own power to lift anything. If he was clear headed, he could fly, but he has not thought about it, and if it was pointed out to him, he does would believe he could.
>>98181355...he would not believe he could.*
>>98181308no
>>98181345Of course you did, Juan.
>>98181226I guess what I'm saying is I would like to see drawbacks being the primary source of power, and the ancillary powers that make normal superheroes possible cost way more than the actual Powers themselves. I feel that that would be thematically appropriate for a villain-first world. If it was me making this I would give only a single point to buy Powers with before drawbacks, and make the only one point power be Sense Super. That way if someone wanted to do a no drawback, all they could do is watch.
>>98181030Thanks for the answer.I want to understand better the Ashen before making vast decisions about them.
Just started trying to put my cyoa together after writing the text ang getting the images. >Why does it look so shit?Is it the white background on some of them or maybe the art style? How do I fix this?
>>98181474You wanna try and either get all white background images or all detailed background images.
>>98179733https://rentry.co/wrb47rw8Decided to make a second build, this time going Mortal + Lonesome Road. Now I'm the Seer of Death, Time, Light and Mind, who reigns supreme over fate and prophecies.
>>98181474Maybe add a black border that fade towards the center of each pics.
>>98181147>everything is so small and insignificantSounds like a you problem existential crisis anon
>>98181474Just look at other people's cyoas and see what they do, bro new fucking authors they literlally haven't even looked at a single cyoa before making their own.
>>98181474white backgrounds probably
>>98181474If you aren't opposed to AI, there's a couple of them that you can throw an image into and say add a background and it will.
>>98181691What if I am opposed to backgrounds?
>>98181691Can't you just use the fill tool on the white?
>>98181707>>98181711It looks like you're using Gimp. In that case what I do is use the magic wand tool to select all of the white space and delete it, with some feathering so they glow White or (add a different color). Alternatively turn the difference detection up real high, so that it selects the colored portion and feather it from there so that everyone fades out on the edges
>>98181717What if I am opposed to Gimp?
>>98181737go into pauint and give each pixel a bespoke color with th pencil tool.
>>98181315Default player is in-between criminal ans vigilante. Your choices will determine if you get into organized crime or you join the vigilantes in disrupting crime and spreasing the concept of justice and change in society.>>98181355I'll be taking these and putting them to use.>>98181420Main question is how to balance this and make it playable. With a drawback system you would need to have ever increasing drawbacks for powers or power specific.For someone with pyrokinesis a drawback could be nerve damage or you burn yourself, but that would remove the fun from using fire. But drawbacks could make you a glass cannon if taken to an extreme
>>98181744What if I am opposed to pixels?
>>98181474Consistency is important, your theme seems very dirty and gruny sp you need detailed, preferably dark, backgrounds in your images to follow along with that theme, white is too clinical thus it sticks out like a sore thumb, Your white borders also detract from the theme you're going for, maybe muddy brown or even just an offwhite color would likely do.
Who is this Wodanfag? Is he basically Tok or an actual separate person who is namefagging and breaking tradition of authors posting anonymous?
>>98181420In Darker than Black, people need to perform 'obeisances' before or after they use their powers, these come in a variety of usually undesirable actions: Breaking one of their fingers, drinking blood, forceably kissing someone, smoking, folding oragami, etcIf it's a villianous centered sueprhero world the obeisances could be evil in nature.
>>98181784Ask the thread oracle.
>>98181751I'd generally make the drawbacks more generic. Nerve pain can be used for anything that could cause strain - like most of super-heroics. My mindscape lays this out as a drawbacks first CYOA, with some that can scale, and others that give more point to the 'physical' ones or the 'mental ones'. Like every drawback gives some generic build points and some typed points. More emotional stuff (like Period's depression) gives more psychic/magic powers, whereas In Violate's weak frame gives him that invulnerability ( or is it his Reliance on his confidence that gives him his weakness?)Then have a main power section (divided into physical/mystic/tech or whatever you're doing), and a secondary power section. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RequiredSecondaryPowersMake the actual Powers cheap and the secondary Powers expensive.Actually this reminds me of a joke cyoa I considered building where it's literally just the rules for mutants and masterminds but stuck on an image.
>>98181784>breaking tradition of authors posting anonymousWhen has that ever been a tradition? Everyone and their mother back in the olden days was hungry for attention having a name gave them
>>98181755Close your eyes and Dream a Little Dream for me.>>98181789That's cool.
>>98181784He's Softie 2.0, younger and dumber edition.
>>98181784>Is he basically TokTok's split personality trying to make Tok seem more important than he actually is
>>98181784>tradition of authors posting anonymous
>>98179811"fuck off retard, also your elden ring build was garbage"
>>98181784It’s Gil
>>98179811Why did we start worshipping billionaires?
Oh good, I was worried that people had moved on from the Elon bait.
>>98181831Elden Ring detected:Would you like to give input on the Elden Ring CYOA game? There are several locations without a dedicated NPC to talk to / murder for an item. Or if there's something you would like to see, I scan through the threads every time to see if anyone references it to stuff more into it.
>>98181784Gil
>>98181848Bait exists to be bit anon, why else do we post if not to bite bait?
>>98179733what would be the most annoying build possible here? like not the strongest just the most annoying to go up against?
>>98181897mixture of time, mind, and freedom probablyImpossible to hit and always disorientating you.
This thread sucks Furthermore I consider that tok must be hugged
>>98181889That's fish mentality. Fish cyoas?
>>98181841>>98179833fuck off leftypol
>>98181869malenia romance route?
>>98181938Your billionaire crush will never notice you senpai
>>98181945drinking trash juice to prepare myself for eating her out
>>98181969>eating pussy
>>98181945>>98181969This has me thinking, what's the best waifu in the CYOAverse? EternalAnon knew how to make a great love interest. I gotta go Heather from Eternal Rising.
>>98181997Juk-Shab ofc.
>>98181945Already Baked in.
>>98181997>what's the best waifu in the CYOAverse?(you)
>>98181945Actually no I'm sorry I read that as Melina. Melania is as dead as her corpse brother. May I offer you a fully bloomed Millicent?
>>98182092EW NOI will accept ranni being dead as compensation however
>>98181910I like feesh :)
What’s the comfiest anime setting?
>>98182138Danmachi unironically.
>>98182138DANMACHI
>>98182138one off anime spinoffs that take place in settings made by BWC westerners
>>98182117Ranni's like 99% dead, and the way to revive her is convoluted and I'm going to leave it ambiguous as to whether you actually get her back or have merely made an Abomination that looks like her.
>>98182166deal
>>98182092does anything in elden ring ever even truly die? The rune of death was removed, won't they only truly die if one uses the rune?
>>98182146>>98182147I don’t understand you people. What is so great about it? Isn’t the world infested with literal monsters and only the 0.1% can do anything about it?
>>98182191Yea but the world is a cartoon for children and magic takes the place of irl tech so it’s pretty comfy (and the spas look better than the ones irl so…….)
Everything looks nicer and better in anime that still doesn’t mean you’d want to live there
>>98182205Any setting is pretty comfy as long as you're part of the 0.1%As long as it has magic or tech comparable to modern tech
>>98182186The frenzied flame is eating the world man shit is fucked.
>>98182191>>98182205The gods are casuals. Some nations consist entirely of levelled persons. It may even be mandated on a national level. There is no excuse for being a weakling in a world that’s modelled after jrpg tropes.
Guess which author almost just died from a pipe hitting his tire on the highway!?!I maintained control and I'm replacing the tire.
>>98182222The Frenzied Flame is the equivalent of a Big Bang hating cult that wants everything to go back into a Big Crunch. Except replace Crunch with Melt. The Big Melt. The One Great is based on what came before the Big Bang. One Great Big Bang.
>>98182231Gil ;_;
>>98182231rengi...
>>98182231How the fuck would I guess that?Also, I can't feel empathy for you until I know you aren't tok/wodan, so I would rather you say that so I can say something comforting if you aren't
>>98182231Your shoes fucking SUCK god I hate you
>>98182191Being normie in that world would suck but anons are special so they'd surely become great adventurers instead of dying in ditch while being gnawed by rats
>>98182213>Everything looks nicer and better in animeWhat crack are you smoking. irl and art inspired by it looks 1000x better than generic 2D cartoonslop.I always imagine CYOA worlds would actually look like that when it's time to actually get isekai'd into the game. Even the mediocre anime CYOAs.
>>98182258
>>98182262
>>98182257Being a normie in the world of Danmachi only sucks if you’re an idiot living in some village in bum fuck nowhere waiting for a pack of horny minotaurs to gang rape your daughter. Just move to a protected city or a nation that demands you join its national familia. They have amenities on the level of the modern day. This is the case for the overwhelming majority of isekai. The fantasy world is only superficially “medieval”. It has kitchens that wouldn’t exist before the 1900s.
>>98182268
>>98182272
>>98182278
It makes sense why escapist brain rotted anons love comfy anime fantasy but hate gritty mudcore fantasy. They hate poopy.
>>98182237Yes.>>98182245>>98182237>>98182252>>98182255Voidsoul. Sorry for the blog post the adrenaline got me. If I ever stop posting about the Elden Ridge cyoa before it comes out just know I died.
>>98182286
>>98182287>They hate poopy.we're not jeets like you
>>98182294
>>98182293You are fine. Also get non gay shoes.
>>98182222The fuck do you do in a world where the frenzied flame won?
>>98182299
Yes I hate poopy and I hate game of thrones
>>98182309
>>98182318
>>98182306The game is set 5 minutes after the frenzy flame ending. There's still time to set things right.>>98182302My wife got me these shoes.
> They have amenities on the level of the modern day. This is the case for the overwhelming majority of isekai. The fantasy world is only superficially “medieval”. It has kitchens that wouldn’t exist before the 1900s.yesI demand there be hamburgers
>>98182293>>98182231Oh, voidsoul, I like that one (except the twist cyoa, that was ass)Sucks that happenedDo try to avoid dying
>>98182323
>>98182325>My wife1. You don’t belong here2. That explains everything
>>98182335
>>98182341
>>98182347
>>98182352
>>98182357
>>98182364
>>98182325Guess it's time to revive all the bosses before the frenzied flame eats them
>>98182331Tyvm. Apologies for the twist one I was going through a thing.I will no longer be responding to sympathetic messages after this point cuz I don't want the thread to be about me. I apologize for the breach in decorum.>>98182338This place is a burning truth and I cannot look away.>>98182377Close! You're reassembling the great runes into a proper Elden ring. If you have not contributed to the Elden ring cyoa and have any ideas for characters or items you want to see please put them in the thread and I will make room for them. The major storyline and all the bosses are already in place I'm just filling in the details at this point, before I commit and start making each area's page.
>>98182311>I hate game of thronesIt's not the best franchise by any means, but it's better than all the anime franchises with young faggy looking main characters.
If cars were invented today the left would declare them death machines on wheels and would fight tooth and nail to get them banned for life.
>>98182421what post caused you to type that?

>>98182421>>98182465Actually if we lived in a world where cars had just been invented but there was still the internet that would imply that mass transit still occurred likely through trains and I don't see the right being willing to put the money forward to build the infrastructure for roads that we need today. Road infrastructure really has kind of crept along as an issue that justifies itself. Also how retarded were we as a species that we could build wheel thing on track but not wheel thing without track.Cars are very useful for last mile delivery at the very least, and would likely at least see a niche there. Speculative alternative history is fun
>>98182492I have not considered that as a possibility and the first five pages where you make the character are already in the can. The major origin options are which from soft game are you from what's your class. If you'd like me to add a possible companion from those races, though, I can do that.

>>98182509Aw thats a big bummer. I think Elden Ring has a lot of really fun nonhuman intelligent races (I'm fond of the Pests, too.) How about, if no races, can I ask for a Pest or Demihuman Queen companion?
>>98182495>Actually if we lived in a world where cars had just been invented but there was still the internet that would imply that mass transit still occurred likely through trainsWe would probably still work with the "thirty minutes of walking distance" rule of thumb. I imagine there would stations parsed around enough to take you pretty much everywhere. Suburbs wouldn't exist or they would be only for the very rich who could pay for horse transportation.>I don't see the right being willing to put the money forward to build the infrastructure for roads that we need todayIt's kinda funny but road tool inside cities were an actual thing very early. Some roads were maintained by a private entity who would ask for a toll for the passage. Public road infrastructure became a thing because the idea you pay to use a road stretch was madness even then.>Also how retarded were we as a species that we could build wheel thing on track but not wheel thing without track.You can plan around wheel on track, hence electric trams and cable cars being a lot earlier than mass motorization. Really the only thing that allowed cars to stick around was the energy density of gasoline. I'm sure that things like trucks and buses would be invented for how useful they are.And roads would stick of horse shit. "The left" as anon puts it would probably want to ban private horses, funnily enough.

Like maybe it's for merch, or you need people to be intimidated as part of the power structure and that's how goons show whose power they're backed by.Also, are villains in charge of society or working against it? Do we have cat-burglars or corrupt fatcats demanding tithe?Can we get a parallel society, with its own payment systems, real estate, and job market, that outlaws can thrive in even while wanted by law enforcement and blocked out of civilian life? I always thought that was a cool idea.Like, imagine an evil corporation being exposed for producing doomsday weapons and simply "moving underground" to continue their activities under the same name.

>>98183790ah shit you beat me to it lol
>>98183754I never scorned any author except for maybe dragon_jak. Like I have said several times I like SDAs, Aro's and Italics CYOAs. But sometimes I crituique them and make fun of them. But I still think every one of those 3 are great authors in their own right. But Italics would be greater if he would cut down on the unnecessary lore and spread it out naturally throughout the CYOA like I did with Dragonfall, instead of turning the intro into a massive fcuking text wall. SDA would be be greater if he included eternal youth and Aro would be greater if she stopped remaking her old CYOAs like she is Disney and made new CYOAs instead.

>>98183876Whats wrong with it?
>>98183131No it does not. It looks like those superhero "encyclopedias" they make for kids. If it actually did look like an old comic book, it would look much better than this.I agree with the other anon, it is quite garish. Though thats mostly the orange. I know its meant to look heroic but its just....just ass.
>>98183853Maybe I did. I honestly can't say I really enjoyed any of his CYOAs. It's not like they are bad or anything, I just don't like them. They all look the same with way too similar graphics, and it's always the same premise. You become a super powerful gigachad with waifus, and his formatting is always so fucking bad. Way too big font on texts and way too much space wasted. I don't hate him or the flaws of his CYOAs, it's just that I don't find his CYOAs that interesting to play. To his credit, his graphics are good and he keep to 1 art style in his CYOAs. But I do fucking hate dragon_jak.
>>98183919It was made by a redditor
>>98182651For the Demihuman Queen, their vibe is generally that they're big and brutish, and while intelligent enough to learn basic spells, they notably are looked down on by the Raya Lucarians that gave them their staves (and presumedly taught them magic.) I'm not sure what the general power level of the companions is looking like, but I like the idea of the Demihuman Queen bringing her tribe of (surviving) demihumans with her; her main goal would be their continued survival, past the frenzied flame apocalypse. So, brutish (but smart enough to ally with, which there's plenty of basis for with their lore in-game), basic spells, and a retinue of lesser demi-humans? Drop the retinue if theyre too powerful, maybe. As for a name - iirc the canon ones use kind of old ladyish names like Maggie, Margot, Gilika. Maybe... Madge, Thelma, Marlene? Madge sounds most fitting. For the Kindred, I think the way to go would be making it the token Rot companion. Theyre the "unwanted children of the Goddess of Rot" or somesuch and worship is a big part of the lore we have on the Pests, so maybe this fellow wants the Rot to win out over the Flame, or just make his own little pocket of Rot safe from the frenzied flame. Alternatively, it could be one of those friendly Kindred from the DLC, the forager brood, attaching itself to the player after a moment of bonding (like when you heal the injured one in the DLC and it gives you a cookbook, but with more dire straits given the world is ending.) After all, it could be said that such a creature, abandoned by its goddess, alone and scared as cosmic balances shift, may look for family even now. For a name, I'm not sure what could be fitting. Laban? We don't have much to go off.

>>98183896Nah, just seems like a strat to have more personal power and not dying, rather than making a story.
>>98183884She's just a bit emaciated. Her realm hasn't been doing well lately. You just need to help secure more nutrients for her and her people's.>>98182651Not him but what we know about the Demihuman Queens is that they respect strength and are willing to form alliances as seen with Kenneth Haight and the Carians.On one hand they kicked Boc out for being weak and showing too much interest in civilised pursuits but on the other Boc's mother truly loved him so it's not like they're incapable of compassion.So I guess broad strokes you can go with the proud and strict ruler that wants what's best for her people and is willing to deal with the strong for that to happen.Maybe you need to best her in some way for her to respect you or to show proficiency in the crystal sorceries?Maybe she has a weak spot for astrologists and those that can tell her more about the stars?Who knows.
>>98184006Anon, that's what cyoas are for. They are for self inserting, not making a story.

>>98184293What's the easiest way to get someone into the Dreamlands? Trying to make a Nephilim Bannerman teleport network for my Dreamland merchant build, and getting minions there physically is annoying unless you spawn them there with the Walk Blessed roll or Astra dragging you there.Best option I found is binding a Link phylactery to them, having a Hitsuji or Sylenos take it to the Dreamlands or real world, and having the minion kill themselves so they respawn in the desired world. Is there anything easier? 1000 souls per trip is pretty steep.
>>98183815I'm looking forward to hentai heroine, if that helps. You've catered to my fetish before, and I hope it shows up in this again.
>>98184482Narrative and mechanical depthThe main joy I get from a cyoa is to see a set of problems and a set of tools, and to assemble the tools to the problemsOR not only has a very wide range of interesting and different problems (Uruk hordes, charlie, geo-politics, the ecumen invasion as a whole, the lichyard, the second war of heaven and earth, etc etc) But all of the problems are interesting and interconnectedIt has the content of a hundred cyoa's, all of it interesting and all of it linked(The tools to solve these problems are more average, some of them being useless and some being effectively mandatory, but it's low power enough that that doesn't spoil the fun)I also like the character writing and lore, but in a less specific manner
