>>98241456I'm so tired of this build collecting shit popularised by or...
>>98241456
I'm so tired of these "I'm so tired" comments...
>>98241458Good. Suffer.
>see a matronly woman outside>scream about JNPL and elder shitters before running away>whip out my phone during it, click on my shortcut to cyoagI'm so tired of Outer Reincarnation...
In the end. The author’s best work was Danmachi. Or maybe Mushoku Tensei since it’s literally just two pages and any cyoa that can manage to fit all of its content into as few pages as possible is a sign of dominance - sort of like Black Magic.
>>98241471
>>98241458I like seeing them. It reminds me of /mcyoag/ but without the MHA autism. Thread convergence would be goated.
I wish surinical could balance their cyoas
>>98241478Why won't you fuckers just LEAVE??You already have your own god damn general go there!Havent you ruined my prescious home enough?!
>>98241482It was MY home first.
>>98241478Thread convergence would be the death of the general because pvp fags would drive everyone else away to make their own generalAgain
>>98241456Who wins?
>>98241487You motherfucker I was BORN here before you were fucking cum in your mother's hole!
THATISNOTHOWTIMETRAVELWORKSREEE-If everyone dies and you go back in time to prevent everyone’s death you’re really just going into an alternate timeline where completely different versions of people never died.If you failed to save your waifu, she’s still dead, and the one you saved is a different version of them. You cannot prevent your own existence by preventing your own birth. You were already born in a timeline where you were born.
>>98241482lmao just sit on your cuck chair and watch
>>98241498>t. retarded buildless zoomer
>>98241501
>>98241501No that's only one of the theories on how time travel works, there is no correct one when it comes to fiction
>>98241501lmaoooo
>>98241501If it makes Anon of /cyoag/ seethe, it's the correct option/opinion. Simple as.
>>98241509Um. Retard. The alternative wouldn’t let time travel work at all. It’s one of the other.
>>98241501This anon knows about time travel...pretty sus If you ask me.
>>98241509>thinking you can alter the past at all if it also affects your own past >”it totally won’t cancel me out! totally!”What a brainlet responseYou should honestly be ashamed of yourself for having such an abysmal grasp of temporal loops
>>98241501Don't worry because only trust the Matterheroine vetted theory.
>>98241501>The more knowledgable you are the less you're able to enjoy things
>>98241544
>>98241541>one day you'll be so knowledgeable all cyoas will taste like flavorless pastabweh
Second OC from last thread: https://imgchest.com/p/ne7bjb5lg45
>>98241524>>98241528Neither of you understand. There is no "correct" theory on time travel, the one above>>98241501 is only one of themAnd in fiction, there is no "correct" one as its up to the author. Hope that helps
>>98241553Im already living this reality
time travel is always pretty lame in cyoas
>get isekai to fantasy world>humans are fantasy creatures there just like elves are back on earthcyoas like this?
Rolled 6, 3, 2, 4, 4, 6 = 25 (6d6)>>98241544>>98241533I kinda messed up the roll on my previous post. I rolled 2 dice instead of 3, and I got the same number 2 times which was 1. The result will count towards my image build, but now I will roll the remaining 2 rolls in this comment. I will roll 6 dice in case I get the same number multiple times. The leftmost rolls will the the ones that count and the rightmost are the extra rolls if I need to make rerolls. Here we go!
>>98241568Most isekai cyoas treat humans like they do for all races.
>>98241541It actually just means you have to construct your own experiences. Time travel doesn’t work that way? Obviously it’s all an illusion. Something is making it appear to work that way despite the logic not adding up.Imagine if you wanted to experience Back to the Future in Marty’s shoes. You would HAVE to be ignorant and naive of how spacetime works, for that fun little story to play out. Ignorance is required. Ignorance is enchanting.
>>98241568I recall one where elves were the default and if you inserted as human, you were the only one in existence. I don't remember what it was called though.
>>98241501Time travel works however the author wills it. Now be silent.
>>98241496Someone who just ignores multiplayer. If you think you'll feel lonely, go for Duo Loop with Zach. He's a bit of a dumbass, but at least he's a relatively nice guy.
>>98241605But then what's the point of being on the list? No one will interact with a solo build.
>>98241612It's fun to read other peoples builds anon
>>98241612We can still determine which solo build "wins" by looking at their quality.
>>98241617I want people to focus on my build. To talk about my build the most. To create stories about my build. To feel inferior to my build and rewrite theirs. To feel superior about my build and tell me how shit mine is. I want my build to be remembered by the thread and the author years later.
>>98241576>>98241576>Result: 1, 6, and 2.I would have liked to be a dragon. I fucking love dragons, but I'm very happy with the Mad Love drawback or should I say perk? Nitur's Blessing is just whatever. I guess I can attune it to smell a source that can grant true immortality and sniff it out. Slave to Desire can be worked around. Like my control is lessened, and I will be more impulsive, but my discipline is still iron, and so is my will. Overall, not a bad roll and I'm not dissatisfied with the result, as the points that I gained will be well spent. Nitur truly has the best drawback tables, and I would roll on his other table too, but I'm afraid he has no more powers to offer that are of interest to me.
I’ve noticed that you guys don’t actually like common sense or logic. Which makes complete sense. This is an escapist general for people who hate real life, and thus logic.
>>98241637Yup yup.
>>98241568I like when there are different identifiable races of humans. Like in Elder Scrolls for example, black people are their own thing, separate but equal to white people.
how is eldritch supposed to work with any of the other personality changes or color attunements if you accessed colorless via devoid as an omnicolored, like if I'm not supposed to think like a human anymore, what does me choosing being tolerant, ruthless or racist mean in terms of my character since there's nothing proscribing having "normal" attunements with eldritch on the same character
>>98241652How is this eldritch? All that is normal for me.
>>98241637So you willingly came to a place full of shit you hate and are surprised to find shit you hate?
>>98241449>franchiseslop
The fist half of this is a fantastic CYOA. One of Tok's best.
>>98241668All of Tok cyoas are Tok's bests.
>>98241668
>>98241674
>>98241673The dragonfall remake he made was really good
>>98241681
>>98241687Agreed, 3.0 was immaculate

>>98241555Related to this one there are also other CYOAs that share the same setting, I'll post the link below. Some options in Singularity Series let's you take companions from them.

>>98241637how wasn't that immediately obvious to you?
>>98241755I just love him sm
>>98241757>I just love him(tok) sm>Tok also loves tok smInteresting.
>>98241668is he ready to eat the humble pie, to confess that he sucked and cucked, to make the remake?
>>98241449So, the present loop happens because angels wanted someone to stop Panaxeth from escaping. Why did Shutur-Tarana's (the first Ikosian emperor) loop happen?
>>98241764But I'm not Tok? I'm a loyal TokAroItalicsRakeWodanHyenaTankistaVoidsoulErsatzfag.
>>98241772They wanted to stop Panaxeth from escaping.
>>98241755Hating tok doesnt make you seem any better than him you knowyou'll be just as hated no matter what
>>98241625Be careful, you may open yourself up to me, the author of shub in UG last go around. Some dude just asked for a twin God for a build and got horny effortposting. Be careful the monkey's paw does not curl.
>>98241787anything is good tbqh
>>98241777Nice trips. Trips of truth. Trips of heaven.
>>98241777>you'll be just as hated no matter whatThey hated jesus for telling the truth too
Tok wants love so bad. Poor thing.
>>98241777nah he's still at amateur levels of being hated
>>98241796
>>98241797I'll cheer on him until he becomes this generation's boogeyman.

>>98241818
>>98241792>Equates following what everyone else is doing like a blind sheep hating on tok is somehow something unqiue and braveYou are genuinely, truly, unquestionably the most retarded and despised anon this general has had. Tok himself cannot compare to the shit that pours out of your mouthIt's honestly stunning how easily you've become this way
>>98241829
>>98241776But there's no such danger.
>>98241846me when I change favorites authors like panties mid-discussion
>>98241851Exactly.
>>98241191I name myself. I have no posts on that wretched site. I will steal from it as I need, but outside larceny, I do not interact with that place. >Why not state who you are, if you are to make such a declaration?Where do you think we are, reddit?Fuck off faggot.
>>98241789Bet. Which build is yours?I will give you your precious (You)s.
>>98241871it's cheating if I say it
>>98241877Afraid to whip it out, eh?Just like a child - wanting attention but not taking the steps to get it. I bet your build isn't even that big anyway.
>>98241772Just for his own benefit. Dealing with primordials escaping is not the original purpose of the loop.
>>98241640Sure, keep pretending reguard are equal to bretons. Get zapped by magicka, bitch ass niggicka

>>98242262Have you never broodmother-maxxed? Feeling your thousand young writhing inside your distended abdomen. One wriggling free of one of your birth chambers, splattering amniotic fluids on the floor as they splash free and scream their first breaths. Thier siblings attend to them and you, as you're coaxed to release another. You csn feel your own muscles churn, sloshing around the baby batter the last captured man was forced to release into one of your many orifaces till he was nothing but a husk.

Very nice work there
>>98242458
How did we go from True Sons to >>98242458 ?
>>98242490I feel bad for you, having no taste.
>>98242458Damn sis, I usually just go for egg laying when I'm in that kind of mood. Much more pleasant and cute.
>>98242477Thanks.
>>98242458Never thought about it that way before. Makes me want a broodmother creature builder cyoa.
>>98242510I've gone that route a few times, but it's just too... clean? Sterile? I like it rough, feeling the lil hellions kick inside just does something for me.>>98242529One of the things you have to balance for is how much heat you generate, larger is generally better because it gives you more surface area to radiate from, but building in some kind of liquid or air Cooling will really let you set your gestational organs into hyperdrive.
>>98242510To expand a bit further, the insectile style broodmother typically has a sperm repository that is drawn from throughout the life cycle. When you're not able to go that route by having a twisted mammalian form, you constantly need to have men fed to your hungry wombs. The look of horror on their faces when they realize what they've signed up to sacrifice themselves to is priceless. Or when some sad schmuck just gets captured when traveling alone and realizes why no one travels the roads alone at night anymore. But a few doses of aphrodisiac and the haze that comes over them is delightful, as you can see them fight their own disgust until they finally give in.
>>98242640This the exact sort of thing that makes scorched earth and permanent bloodline curses so appealing(Note that it is better to leave them alive with a permanent curse so that they still compete with similar entities while being non-threats themselves, scorched earth is done either before they become a problem or after they've been studied)
>>98242612>>98242640Yeah, this is all beyond me. Sometimes, when I'm in the right mood, the idea of having lots of babies and a nice big happy family is appealing, but having to incubate them for 9 months, twisting and stretching my beautiful body before painfully squirming out, is awful. Even as a fantasy, I can't get into it. So, eggs! Fertilize 'em, pop 'em out, birthing without the mess. No periods either, as a bonus. Harpy builds are especially fun, but I can suspend disbelief well enough for non-avians too.The idea of becoming just a squirming, bulging sack is just icky to me.
>>98242656Different strokes for different folks. I do enjoy some harpy-fication, watching the intellect drain out of your victims until all they can chirp about is their next clutch.
>>98242685You disturb and disgust me. Harpies are all about freedom, flying high above society and its shackles, the sun at your back, wind in your hair. And, sometimes, eggs.
>>98242697Harpies are all about becoming such a bird brain that all you care about is your next clutch-producing lay.
>>98242703No. Gross. Intellect loss of any kind is an instant appetite-ruiner.
>>98242707You're the perfect target for it though, the more the victim resists, the more they think they can handle whatever curse/disease/magic is doing it to them but making it worse for themselves. The building up of tension as the internal soul struggles against the external body forcing foreign ways and modes, until finally there is no more ability to resist and it bursts out in a massive climax of catharsis. Then you just reset them and run it again.
>>98242712
>>98242707Some people are intentionally disgusting, and it should have been pretty obvious that this is one of themTheir ego is their failure, as in they feel it is eblematic of their will and their beingVery sad, Very sad
>>98242720>>98242725Fine, I will cease. You are not ready for these pleasures, I suppose.
I thought it was cool, broodmother anon
>>98242734Thank you for your support, I will ensure you are saved from death by exhaustion.

>>98242477>Cozy mageI can live with this title>>98242454The idea behind the build is that of a down on his luck vagabond that usually makes a living as a guide, messenger, scout or otherwise lives off the land. Spent a prolonged amount of time around the Shire where he met the Hobbits and ended up meeting Eadria and Dia for work in a tavern one night after hearing that they were looking for someone that knew the land.Overall he's more of a supporting character and the skillmonkey 'jack of all trades' of the group.Purification of Eru:>Humility, Minor (+3)>Charity, Minor (+3)>Chastity, Minor (+3)>Kindness, Minor (+3)>Diligence, Minor (+3)Race: Human (Númenórean, -4)Songs of Power:>Song of Strength (-5)Enhancements:>Strength, Tier 1 (-2)>Dexterity, Tier 1 (-2)>Spirit, Tier 2 (-5)>Endurance, Tier 1 (-2)>Luck, Tier 2 (-5)Era: The Third Age (early)Origin: CommonerSkills:>Ranger, Minor (-2)>Rider, Minor (-2)>Healer, Minor (-2)>Gardener, Minor (-2)Companions: (-19)>Billibald Boffin>May Bracegirdle>Dia Stoneshod>Eadria>OlranWealth: Indebted (+3)Mundane Items:>Simple Gear (wilderness survival)>Horse>Simple Weapon (bow) (-1)Drawbacks:>I'm going on an Adventure, Minor (+10)>Don't you leave him!

>>98243239
>>98243239No?What?If I can genderbend and impregnate authors I'm picking the ones I want to marry, not the trash onesAny one of toks issues, from his perversion, to his histeronics, to his lack of intelligence and his lack of moral character, would set him as completely unwifeable, even if he were a cute and submissive girl, nevermind someone with all of themIt's really not healthy to obsess over sexual domination like that.

>>98243273 (me)I read an old post from the chess general ( https://desuarchive.org/tg/thread/87415763/#87419524 ), that inspired the mood of the build.Unrelated to the build, while I was searching for oil paintings of families, I came upon this wonderful painting of a family of halflings.

She somehow found out that an incredible spell has been cast to alter time itself, letting a select few relive the same month. Isn't that amazing? But the strange thing is, more and more people seem to keep mentioning the idea. The Eldemar Times has even written an article about it!The implications of such unfathomable magic are terrifying. Does this mean that someone is going to erase our memories? Who even cast this spell? If they can do it once, what's stopping them from creating a time loop within a time loop?None of the mages we know could do anything like this! Could any human being? Even mister Bennett couldn't, and he's a hundred and fifty years old! Does that mean the gods are coming back?

>>98243837Same kind of faggot
>>98243837I also get that feeling at times, but his first cyoa (Hereafter) is different from & superior in style to anything Tok made.
>>98243842That's what Mana Frame is for.
>>98243837Ehhh, sometimes they kinda seem like the same person but I guess Wodan disruption is more because he is dumbly opinionated while Tok is negatively opinionated. The difference is that Wodan is ignorant while Tok is hateful.
>>98243855>Tok is hateful.He only seems hateful because redditors who've never been challanged once in their lives make up the majority of posters on this general, Tok's behaviour is generally 4chan behavior
>>98243853Still not worth it. Do you just assume that both of you have Mana Frames?
>>98243855>Tok is hateful
It doesn't matter where you go, someone somewhere on this site will tell you you're a faggot and your work sucks ass, it's par for the courseAnyone treating it any differently is a tourist or a zoomer plain and simple
>>98243861I was thinking about the discussion in the last thread, while Wodan was positive but not constructive, Tok was negative but gave an actual opinion.>>98243867Sorry, forgot how much he loves horses.
>>98243873But they've been here for so long this place is the closest thing to a hugbox they have, pls understand...
>>98243866That's fair, and I'm not completely sure. Since it's a part of the soul, I would assume so.
>>98243875Doesn't matter how constructive you are with your criticism, some retard will always make a cyoa with 0 immortality options or lolis. Authors are just genuinely retarded allround and deserve all the shittalk they get
>>98243875I'm a straight shooter, I will tell you how it is, and that way, my word actually means something. If Wodan praises you, you don't know if your CYOA is a shit and he is just being nice, or if your CYOA is actually good. You don't have to second guess what I say, however. If I tell you it's bad, it's fucking awful and if I tell you it's good, then you should feel good about yourself and the work you did. Not everyone is worthy of my praise, but if you have received it, you know you have made it as a CYOA author. That is the difference between his whorish mouth that will suck any dick and like any ass, and my honest one that is not up for sale.
>>98243821I guess it was just an imposter Wodan with no tripcode: https://desuarchive.org/tg/thread/98143559/#98148089
>>98243899>f I tell you it's bad, it's fucking awful and if I tell you it's good, then you should feel good about yourself and the work you did.Wouldn't this mean your own CYOAs should be always good, since you could apply your own criticism to yourself? Yet empirically that is not the case; most anons would agree you're a fairly mid author. Why?
>>98243875>Sorry, forgot how much he loves horses.kek
>>98243904>I guess it was just an imposter Wodan with no tripcodeMany such cases. I finished the image version
>>98243882Nah, you are soulbond twins. Manapools are soul based, and you have two. Mana Frame isn't an inborn quality, it is a specific divine energy construct. It's like you don't get two Mana Gems just because you are twins.
>>98243919
>>98243927
>>98243933
>>98243923Thanks, that makes sense.
>>98244000No it doesn't. Both twins get a mana frame if you purchased it once.
Wodan why are you such a rampaging homosexual
>>98243708>>98243766Are you by chance that one Danmachi familia anon?
>>98243875>but gave an actual opinionWhy are you framing that as constructive? It's usually just whining that a cyoa about X doesn't have Y in it.
WODAN, DO U SUK DIKS
>>98244154All this "Please notice me sempai" is getting embarrassing
>>98244139I didn't say that what Tok said was constructive, rather that he was honest. I believe that constructive criticisms can't come just by saying that something is 'shit' as that usually makes it less receptive. Take Wodan's >>98239460What is 'bad' about the writing? It isn't 'good', it didn't say what it needs to improve to become 'good'. Everyone has 'potential' but you need to point out where it failed. The rest is 'don't use AI' which I agree and actually gave examples of where to get (I disagree on Pinterest but then I would be repeating the guides on OP).Tok's >>98239817 is saying that it's 'bad' but not elaborating. What's the problem with 19 pages? Too long or bad page count for the amount of choices? What's wrong with the AI art (this one I get, but some people somehow need explanation)? What's the text-to-image ratio? And so on. He's honest, but doesn't say how to improve. For most that he said that he's 'helping' he's just saying that something is 'bad'.See it takes 2 seconds to say that something has fault, but explaining why can take a long while, and doing it in a way that helps can be a skill on its own.

Give me one (1) good reason why Gil is a good cyoa author
>>98244378he made radiant
Gil is a schizo. Wodan is just one of his many split personalities.
Gil is a very good cyoa author. You simply hate him because he has opinions you do not like.
If being right makes me gay then so be it
In fact Gil has better writing skills than most slop
I bet you think you’re a pretty funny guy!
Sticks and stones may break my bones but images of anime girls calling me gay will never hurt me
>>98244555But anon, if you Weren't gay then you could never marry gil and abscond to the wilderness to live out a life of passion with him?
Cyoag on Mondays is always cringe

For the mother of learning cyoa, does anyone else wanna just take what magics and whatnot they want and just frick off and not give a damn about the timeloop or dark god or whatever?
>>98244673This is a global enough problem. And, while not exactly easy to stop, it's not impossible. Compared to the protagonists, you may consider yourself to be on outright easy mode.
>>98244673Timeless is perfectly viable, but you won’t get as much benefits as being in a loop.
>>98244673That's pretty much every non-looper build
>>98244735This threat can't be stopped in the loop. You can't get your perfect month inside, that's not how it works. They will deal with it like the rest of us, one way or another.
>>98244728I mean the protagonists figure everything out eventually in the story so why not just let them handle it themselves and not interfere, Especially when you interfering might change things enough the protags fail for all we knowAtleast the magic in this setting is fairly interesting, could use some expansion but ehhh
>>98244767There’s no way you will make things worse as long as your intentions are good and your build is even slightly optimal.
>>98244835But what if anon trusts someone like Silverlake?
>>98244673The timeless option exists for a reason and the 100 points you get make it very, very tempting. Sure the loop gives you training time, but some of the things in the CYOA you cannot train for (some of those spells are world changing).Also once in the loop unless you're the original you are trapped inside and will need to pull off seriously impressive feats to escape or else final death.So for my part im far more interested in just taking the 100 points. Except that I'm paranoid you'd be dropped off just as the Big Bag is bringing his army out and you'd have to fight with whatever powers you happen to have with zero prep time. Since it doesn't actually say what date or anything you show up.
>>98244898She’s an asshole witch living in the middle of nowhere. How can anyone trust her?
>>98244963Anon will fall head over heels for literally any woman with a vagina.

>>98244378Why is he a bad one?
>The lich is named ichl, lich backwardsReally?
>>98245179Lich backwards is hcilYou're thinking of an anagram
>>98245192It's backwards if you consider only the tokens l and ich! l comes first and ich comes after -> ich comes first and l comes after! backwards!But yes, I said that accidentally.
>>98245179Not everyone can be great at making up names like George Lucas.
>>98243273You named your wife and kid but not yourself?
>>98245179>>98245227If it helps his original name was Saruwata Merenptah (a japanese sounding name - monkey something? - plus a name of an old pharaoh?).Or I think that's his original name? Now I think about it maybe that's just a previous name. I assume being over a thousand years old he just changed it at some point since his entire civilization is long extinct, but its not like anyone would know. Also he's a pretty cool big bad. The guy is straight out of the age of myth for the setting and remembers when gods used to walk the earth and fuck with people, even has his own divine blessing (the mana frame). He's like if Hercules was around today and was a brutal warlord skellyman wizard.
Is there an audience for a CYOA based around the supernatural used for combat and support? There is no masquerade as the supernatural is out in the open though limited only to those with the will to use it, but there are family dynasties with unique hereditary techniques and political cliques controlling the government/vying for influence.If you ask about the choices for powers, there are only four classifications, but it is heavy mix-matching or pure focus. A very free-flow system os using what you want and strategizing with it and combing them. There is also an upgrade system for base powers and exclusive specialized powers outside the three classifications.High Supernatural, Low Life is the theme.
>>98245467Kagurabachi cyoa? Or just inspired by it?
>>98245493
>>98245497
>>98245467>Is there an audience for a CYOA based around the supernatural used for combat and support?You say that like that is unusual? I think I must be retarded because I'm trying to figure out what that means in a way that is meaningfully different to pretty much every CYOA with some sort of magic.Is there a surplus I haven't noticed of CYOA based around the supernatural used for cooking and arts and crafts and giving hugs and gentle pecks on the cheek to our fellow man underneath rainbows and the approving eyes of Christ?

>>98241449How does Accidental Looper work? Do you incarnate into the build from the start of the loops or only when the accident happens? All is fine in the latter, but if in the former, you are basically a worse Non-Looper because you are guaranteed to die, and copy x of you will be the actual Accidental Looper.

I love the rush of throwing some nigger onto the concrete when he thinks he can mug me. Its the only place on the planet where I can be *ME*. My schedule looks like this: I get up. I do my morning routine. I walk to work, have some fun with some wannabe gangster looking for easy cash. Go to work, have coffee with some actual human beings. Walk home (not before buying some stuff for sandras babyshower), paint pavement with the brains of some cornerboy. get home. Sleep. Repeat. Its a good life. Honestly I thought about turning myself in, have some *REAL* fun. I have three reasons for why I didnt. 1. Without a nice job, I wouldn't be able to appreciate the life I have now, I'd be no better from those niggers prowling the streets. 2. What would my friends thing if they heard I went to jail for MURDER? They'd be horrified! I couldn't take it... 3. Those cornerboys would sleep tight knowing I aint out there, and I just can't let that happen.Fighting style? I ain't got no fighting style, unless you mean takin a man and slamming im on the ground as hard as I can, the way god intended man to fight. Mentor?

Would you or could you love a lolibaba that is/was your previous/first incarnation wife/lover and she keeps finding and hanging out with you every cycle? But a lot of your main descendants are elitest ass hats because they get high on your first incarnation inherited techniques and mald about a new branch family they have to subordinate everytime your inc. kicks the bucket and treats them as outside mistakes?
>>98245954>Would you or could you loveNever. My heart is stone.
>>98245891Literally me.
>>98245954>Would you or could you love a lolibaba that is/was your previous/first incarnation wife/lover and she keeps finding and hanging out with you every cycle?You are describing an ideal relationship, although I would rather she had undergone puberty
>>98245695Pretty sure magnitude doesn't matter for how strong a crystal is other than being capable of making a bigger crystal, which you can just substitute with more crystals.
>>98245954Yes absolutely
>>98245810You get inserted into the moment you enter the loop as a permanent looper. Previous incarnations of you or the version of you outside the loop only have the memories of the life you inserted into.
>>98246016Some anon mentioned that i was gonna fuck up crystalizing them and would get explosions instead so it got me thinking about weaponizing it. Apparently mana poisoning is a thing so it should be effective.
>>98246033>Mana poisoningThat's like thinking a bullet is going to give lead poisoning.Once it's gotten past all defenses it's going to do alot worse then slow poisoning
>>98246033If you use ambient mana instead of your own attuned mana supply to do magic it effectively irradiates your insides. It wont blow you up in a fireball even if you channel a lot of it.
>>98245993Anon... ??? If you have descendants that means she went under puberty. Wha?
>>98245759Simply combine efforts to dupe multiple crowns.
>>98246130Lolibaba?The body of a little girl with the mind of an old woman?All waifus are former loli's, why specify if she changed?
>>98246145Maybe if you take The First Ikosian Emperor scenario and ask a god really really nicely.
>>98245928Except the premise and power system are different and not as floaty for you to adjust like end goal of the era, etc.
>>98246042>>98246085So i got lied and it won't blow up. Kinda disappointed, weaponizing mana crystals sounded cool.
>>98246179You can use crystals to make bombs.
>>98246161Anon...don't pretend to be retarded. A lolibaba can give birth because despite their body, they have undergone puberty which is the necessary biological step to produce children. Jusf because they are lolibaba doesn't mean their internal body functions stop and they cannot produce kids. They keep the physical exterior but internally, mentally and age wise they are older women.
>>98246184That will do.
>>98246188>Internally she is oldOh no bros my lolibaba wife is gonna die of a heart attack

>>98246306If you see yourself as a pure combat mage then sure pick the higher option, but generally you're fine with the middle option and don't especially need to take options to raise it. It's probably the least important part of your build honestly. More mana makes actually shaping it - and therefore learning new spells and disciplines - harder, so you might not actually want it *too* high. But you need to have enough to be able to practice without constantly needing to stop to recharge. If you have more time to learn, higher magnitudes become less of an issue for that. Which is why the fact the 100 point option doesn't actually tell you where in the timeline you start is a bit annoying. But unless you get into a war or a fights with a lich or a dragon or something you probably won't need *huge* amounts and are probably better off taking options that will either end fights quicker or help you escape than worrying about running out of mana.
>>98246349My first message was that I would have rathered the immortal wife character have undergone pubertyWhat's the mystery in that?
>>98246380>the 100 point option doesn't actually tell you where in the timeline you startAt the beginning of the month, obviously
>>98246306The more optimal your build is, the less magnitude you want because you can effectively gain a bigger mana pool through various methods whereas cutting down from starting at a high magnitude, if that is even possible, has no purpose since you would have already paid points for it.By "optimal", I mean doing things like using mind magic, having (via the cyoa or later in-universe) Hijack, and not taking multiplayer (this is the most important part). In other words, make your own mana pool practically irrelevant by using others', maximize the benefit of precise shaping, and avoid competition.
>>98244673I would have not cared. Except that working with biggy P lets me have my own internal hell dimension, thusconverting me into a low-grade primordial, and I will forge of myself a body of pain and ecstasy - and dance reality into motion.
>>98246427All non-loopers are jobbers. Just invade someone else's loop with 5 months left, same points and actual free will.
Do Accidental Loopers have detectable markers like Zorian?
>>98246439I personally would consider the permanent enhancements you can get with high mana to be more then worth it
>>98246453But if you don't make it out of the loop within 5 months you die and the version outside the loop is just a vessel without your memories or soul
>>98246460Yes, though they would not have the extra functionalities that his does
>>98246467Nah, I'd win.
>>98246453Anon, the loop is a pocket dimension intended for training one person. It's like the Hyperbolic Time Chamber from DBZ, except the door only works for one person (the original looper) and when Goku leaves anyone else who is still in there is deleted from the universe. If you don't know shit about the setting you're not making it out in five months. If you do know shit about the setting then you're still not doing that. Maybe five years?
>>98246483Better to give it my all and burn in the attempt. If I intend to rule as our hell-chained Originators did, I must act without fear and without hesitation. Besides the worst that would happen is a man would die.
>>98246500If you dont escape the loop your soul also gets destroyed
>>98246515And? My soul is void already.
>>98246483>If you don't know shit about the setting you're not making it out in five months.Actually, you can, and it's really easy. Just walk up to the MC and say "Hey, can you get me out? I'm an archmage in 10 disciplines btw."
>>98246603The mc can't get you out?Without zorian he's just a moderately powerful mage
>>98246620Zorian is the MC.
>>98246626Zorain got Zero(0) people out in canon and wasn't there for the last 13 restarts
>>98246603...Zorian's escape attempt fucked up. He only managed to squeeze himself out as a disembodied soul, everyone else got left behind. Sure don't like those odds myself.
>>98246635Hmm, copy whatever he does and do it better?
>>98246640What a plan to stake your life on
>>98246645Ok, then mind control everyone to come up with solutions together, blood sacrifice them to power a calculation engine at the end of 4 loops, and enact the optimal solution in the last loop.
>>98246640If you took all three ranks in space magic and the bloodline Mathemagic option you'd probably maximise your chances of getting out safely I think so if that was already part of your build go nuts. But also if you try it you only have one chance, and if you fuck it up and get killed like Zorian did and get reduced to a soul you better have also gotten good enough at soul magic to be able to do come back from the dead. Over all probably better to just take the 100 points or the original looper option honestly.
If I want to post a CYOA on this board how sexy is too sexy for Scruffy?
>>98246518
>>98246682As long as there are nipples, penises, or vaginas in the pictures, you are good.
>>98246682Ideally you should just post on trash, but generally the line here is nudity
>>98241449I was trying to decide on a bloodline, so I went through and ranked them. >Elementalist - 3/5MoL doesn't show these off much but theyre meant to be a big deal for noble houses. I think part of it is just the fact that even low level members of clans get powerful instinctive abilities though. At higher levels I'm less sure on how good it actually is and assume the main benefit will be the low mana use and the passive detection. Still, force lets you kamehameha people so that's fucking sweet. In general force or air would be my picks. Both would get you flight in a setting where that is rare (force more Iron Man esque but whatever) and the ability to sense anything that moves passively. Suspect force would be way better for combat, but would probably pick air just for personal preferences and the romance of being able to sit on a hill somewhere and literally feel the wind. >Hijack - 3/5Ah yes, the old counterspell. As bullshit in MoL as anywhere else so not much to say. Solid.>Twin Souls 1/5Honestly avoid IMO. Another one that's great for a clan to have for granting wide access to an odd ability, but an archmage can achieve something similar with their own simulacrums, except simulacrums are disposable and therefore better. >Membrane 3/5So there is a spell - Barkskin - that does something similar to this, and there is also Powerhouse which also strengthens your body with more options. Still it's a constant always on steel shell and a great last line of defense for the paranoid mage who likes the idea of waking up in the middle of the night to an assassin trying to figure out why his knife is getting blunted on your eyeball.Combining this with Air elementalism you could grow useful membrane wings to fly too, which is fucking rad.
>>98246810>Magic Resistance - 5/5A rare sort of bullshit the PC doesn't usually get to benefit from. Mind (and to a lesser extent Soul, but it's not used much in combat) mages will fuck you up right through your defences unless you happen to just be outright better than them at their own specialty. Even Mind Blank and similar defenses can just be dispelled first.This equalizes the playing field. Except a lot of mind mages or psychic creatures are actually weak in pure mana terms (because that's almost a requirement given how mana shaping works) so it's more like flipping the playing field entirely as some just won't have the power to punch through. The fact it will also fuck up all manner of other magics used on you is just the cherry on top. >Tulpa 2/5Unsure on this one. Basically a support AI I suppose. Neat, but the inability to actually cast your magic means it's not worth that much. With mind magic and other options you should be able to be this yourself. >Biomancer ?/5Purely a research pick (unless you want to be a medic as medical magic is infamously hard) and therefore hard to categorize. The stuff you could do with this is world changing (I can see someone with immortal getting this and figuring out how to make de-aging spells a thing by looking at their own biology), but won't pay off for a long time. >Mathemagic 4/5Basically a magic HUD specialized towards space magic that happens to also give you perfect aim and instantly skyrocket your abilities with warding or spell formula too. With this you could probably become the foremost expert in space magic in the world, or use space magic or wards - which require precise measurements and maths and are therefore almost never used on the fly - mid-combat in a way very few mages would be able to even really conceive of let alone defend against. Good.
>>98246820>Silent Casting 6/5?Potentially the scariest option on this list and we are not even close. By removing the need to chant or gesture, this turns casting magic into something that happens at the speed of thought in a setting where options to massively increase your speed of thought exist.At the same time you are also removing your opponents ability to look at your spells and work out what you're doing, or even that you are the one casting spells. If you plan to be a shifter you need this so you can use magic in your fursona. >Empath 3/5Literally the MC's power so obviously it's useful. However unlike many of these which are unique to the CYOA, it's somewhat common in universe and probably not *that* hard to get a ritual to do it. Pretty much a must-pick if you plan to use much mind magic however, and mind magic gets a lot of scary shit and utility options. Also very good for never, ever getting sneak attacked again by anything that is alive since you can constantly sense minds. >Ghost Eyes ?/5Another research pick. Pretty much a must-have for anyone who plans to use soul or blood magic and get good this century, especially without the usual amount of death/murder, or who wants to poke the mana frame. Still it will do little in combat. >Powerhouse 4/5Pretty great. As a mage you should not be getting into melee combat as a rule. But it does happen and being able to flip the table when it does and start ripping people's hearts out is a useful skill. It also does a lot more than just make you stronger too - combat magic requires a fuckton of cardio, who knew - so it has a lot of flexibility. It's also a much better option than transformation magic for buffing you personally, since transformation magic is noted in-universe to be widely available but little studied as it's fucking dangerous as hell even to an experienced caster. Take with magic resistance to just shrug off this magic shit and become Toji.
>>98241449This is getting a lot of builds with no images. Images are good. If you care for your build, give it an image.
>>98246826>Crystalized 2/5Looks much better than it is. Crystal Mana is very valuable, but it's also widely available and with the options in this CYOA you should not be hurting for money ever. This is essentially paying 10 points for the ability to create something you can buy everywhere when there is a boon for money.It's also explosive, so you probably don't want to stockpile *that* much of it.The only real benefit of this is that using your Archmage abilities to get money will put you in a lot of sightlines and expose you to people trying to spy on you for secrets or involve you in shit. Selling mana is damn near anonymous. So take this if you want to disappear.>Taste Tester ?/5A research option and must have if you plan to seriously go into alchemy and make your mark, as it's an expensive and time consuming hobby. Probably best to hide that you have this: bloodline theft is a thing in this world and House Reid - who are basically a cartel - might assume you murdered a member of theirs to steal this and won't be happy if you start having a bunch of kids with this power.
>>98246830Taste Tester is the 2nd worst because you can just work with a Reid.
>>98246826>If you plan to be a shifter you need this so you can use magic in your fursona.You don't. Just make tiny mouths/hands in your transformation.
>>98246852Huh. Didn't think of that. Good point.>>98246858...That's not how shifters work? You transform into an animal form either completely or partially. Transformation magic is something different and people choose to be shifters mostly because transformation magic is a great way of fucking yourself over permanently (in a few different ways, but accidentally getting stuck in a form that can't use magic is a big one).
>>98246826You're way overestimating silent casting imo. If you prep a staff or wand or whatever with the spell formula for all your combat spells you don't need it at all.
>>98246870You can't customize your transformations? What a shit discipline.
>>98246877We haven't actually seen any master transformation mages in canon, and the cyoa has a chimera option, so it's fairly plausible to think that if you are at a high level you can do that (At some risk of it going terribly wrong and killing you)
>>98246877People in universe agree. The accepted sensible way to use transformation magic is to pay to have some other poor fuck do it and put it in a temporary potion so you don't accidentally die horribly from fucking up transformation magic.Though there is the Shapechange spell at the bottom which seems more like 'this entire discipline if it didn't suck'. >>98246875Dude, action economy is king for every spell caster ever. Casting at the speed of accelerated thought is crazy.And sure simple combat spells can be put in a staff but you notice how little that actually happens? Since spells in objects are flatly worse than spells that you cast yourself? But adding to that, all those spells which are too awkward to cast in-combat because of the long incantations and gestures? They're viable for you!
>>98246826>>98246918I didn't really consider this aspect of silent casting and since I didn't read the books I didn't know there were spells with really long chants, might change my build to see if I can squeeze it in there
>>98241449What happens if you pick Priest and The First Ikosian Emperor? Can you pick any of the past churches to be a part of?
>>98246957Ah, makes sense. So yeah by the endgame the MC ends up using a combo of mind magic and soul magic to be a mind-hive of his multiple simulacrums, with accelerated thoughts and a built-in thinking engine capable of doing complex calculations off the cuff and a perfect memory. That's the sort of mind I'm thinking for Silent Casting at it's most terrifying: you could conceivably have multiple spells being cast at once from one body using multithreading. Course that's a lot of work to get to that insane point. But even with the basics, you'd be a lot faster casting spells in a setting where that matters and no one could tell what you were casting, which is nothing to sneeze at. Many combat spells are pretty simple for obvious reasons, but some magics like Soul Magic is just too fiddly to cast mid-combat normally (which is irritating when your opponent is a Lich where you need soul magic to seriously harm him). There's also buff or defensive spells you normally cast before the fight but which you probably can't re-up normally if they go down. Like Mind Blank (which protects you against mind magic, which can very easily fuck you over in this setting). A bunch of times in the books mages put that on and treat it like they;re immune, which they are but then all that happens is they get hit by a dispel magic, and then just get fucked over by mind magic before they can possibly recast their buff.
>>98247002Also, did the cult of the world dragon exist 2000 years ago?
>>98241449Honestly, Original Looper really fucking sucks. Accidentals easily can get all the points, but you can't even get a bloodline or spells, and barely can achieve competent Skill minimum. What a glorified potential man option.
>>98247002>>98247014I guess yes, and almost certainly not respectively. The cult of the world dragon didnt give me the impression it was an actual ancient secret society but more or a gentleman's club where most didnt take it that seriously. And in-setting cults like that started popping up in response to the silence of the gods, back in mythical times when actual gods were smiting and rewarding people worshipping Honestly with the First Emperor option most boons lose almost all meaning. You're going to stand out absurdly with your abilities if you're even half awake because this is a setting where older is not better and modern magic is explicitly superior in every way. Ancient mages would be the equivalent of level 1-3 D&D wizards, with you being Level 20.

>>98246810Your severely underestimating twin soul it doubles your mana pool as the soul has an extra mana pool, while simulacra share your mana pool. This is essentialy a second mana frame with added multitasking capabilities the only problem that each soul needs to be tought shaping separately, but if you also have silent casting then you can essentialy double cast.
>>98245302It feels awkward to give a proper name to a build. I can't really put into words why. I have given proper names for my builds at some points in the past, but the last time was years ago.
