I quite like this CYOA. It reminds me of the Harbinger one or PPPP in that builds aren't actually that interesting but it does a good job immersing you into the world so you don't care that much.
>>98299726Which is nice cause we don't actually have that many of those for plain normal 'magic academy' settings.

No, Tok, I don’t in fact want to pick an irl magic the gathering card. Why the fuck are you unable to just make this piece of shit cyoa purely work off of internal mechanics and not have to try to invoke how the card game does shit. Why can’t it just be an actual magic the gathering CYOA, emphasis on CYOA, without this retarded meta shit, where everything makes sense, self-contained in and of itself. Especially when you look at having spawns and permanents not be pure card game rules but actual in CYOA terms, effectively making the magic setting yugioh but somehow even more incoherent.

>>98299661Power of friendship.It's always waifu this, waifu that - never about the ride-or-die bro who followed you to the world's edge out pure loyalty or the knight who defend your retreat 1 vs 1000 just because he trusted you to finish the job.Besides, since all CYOAs focus on the waifu aspect, romantic love sounds more common than bread and I'm here for that special flame, not the walmart one.
>>98299661Why not both? Why can't me and my 8 best friends take over a small country and steal all its wealth?
>>98299661Power of love. The power of love is power. The love of power is not power.
>>98299726> SongDemon Stars> PatronAshriyar> Occult SocietyScions of New Babylon> DisciplinesBlessings 4Countermagic 1Enchantment 4Material Conjuration 2Planar Summoning 4I have some really good synergy here. With this I can summon powerful spirits using blessings as a extremely valuable bargining chip, bind them to enchanted items to use their powers permanently, or just have them as servants and use blessings to greatly improve their effectiveness. Going Demon Stars + Ashriyar for the ultimate escapism combo (it's also nice that I can have summoned spirits do stuff for me in the normal world while I dream). Eventually I hope to complete the dream quest and live out the rest of my eternity inside my beloved cyoas.

Danmachi is literally a kid/teen show. All the heroes are ages 14 - 25 and they’re all wearing incredibly cringe outfits.

>All the heroes are ages 14 - 25What’s wrong with this
>>98300356Being young and venerating youth is low izzat behavior.
>>98300344>my Outer Reincarnation mix
>>98300356It’s retarded. Why are literal teenagers the ones reaching level 4/5/6/etc? Why not the adults who’ve been risking their lives a lot more? Japan LOVES unrealistically prodigious youths. Had Harry Potter been written in Japan you’d have Harry or Hermione outclassing fucking Dumbledore.
>>98300407That's because the Japanese have ruthlessly commodified themselves and the only time they have any autonomy is when they're teenagers.

>>98300301>>98300190don't post shit like that in my thread
I started working on this boss page 6 hours ago.I thought it would be a nice small 2 hour project.Luckily the other two versions are mostly derivatives that share all the same items, only tweaked for dialogue and different emotional states.
You can tell Danmachi was only written with the main characters in mind since everyone else apparently fucking sucks in comparison, and all in the last thousand fucking years no less. Everyone before that point sucked.
>>98301314Why are you spending brain cells on a show meant for teenagers?
I'm still watching Danmachi. Please post the Danmachi CYOA so that I can play it. Thank you.
>>98301588Why? Do you want to molest Bell like the other anon?

Wow these threads are dead
>>98301628It's either the Friday before or the day of July 4th. Most people are probably out grilling or whatever. I personally am stuck at work wishing this thread was more active to help my shift go by faster
>>98301628Danmachi killed the thread.
>>98301628Eva, less than useless. Her existence just makes it so that the real powers have a figurehead to better manipulate the population.
>>98301653It wasn't posted though.Wait, did I filter danmachi and forget about it? AHAHAHAHAHAHAgood riddance lol
>>98301280E'ry nice
Guys. I'm not seeing Danmachi, and I am running out of episodes for Season 3.
Sometimes it's hard to believe we had threads that focused so hard on builds shitposting wasn't possible. Harder still to believe you were here for it. I guess the poll's lackluster candidates were a symptom of our decadence.
>>98299662I FUCKING LOVE MISSION TO THE CRISIS WORLDS!!!Seriously I'm not sure of it's the consistent and appealing art direction or the strong and concise theme behind each setting or the pulpy way in which it presents it's choices.I honestly wish that it had picked up traction like Conduit and spawned a bunch of spin-off's. Either new Crisis Worlds to explore or a deeper dive into the ones presented.Anyone know of any stockpile of similar art?

>>98301690Shitposting is always possible, just not always noticeable
>>98301729EA made a WIP post last October, but in-between balancing many dozens of statted options and a tech tree with sixty options, is dealing with a newborn toddler and the life of a Japanese salaryman. I'd love to be proven wrong but I wouldn't hedge your bets on it releasing anytime soon.
>>98301690I miss Outer Reincarnation...
>>98301736Thank you for the information, anon. Are there any good 2026 cyoas?
>>98301742There have been a lot of them, of various quality though I'd say they've trended from good-to-great. My personal favourite of this year is Isekai Dark Overlord, by MiCha, which will tragically most likely be his last release, as a critical mass of anons were filtered by his update's balancing and spent months shitting on him and his work.
>>98301649>either the Friday before or the day of July 4th. Most people are probably out grilling or whateverGot big plans yourself, ASCII Face? My home town does a concert/fireworks combo that I usually go.
>>98301750>Isekai Dark OverlordAnon?
>>98301754Not really! I'm cooking up some sausage, potatoes, krauts, and scallions after I get off. Then my roommate and I will eat, get drunk, and probably watch a movie. I imagine I'll go outside for a while and watch the fireworks
>>98301757I stand aghast. Time has slipped away from me.
>>98301742We had polls since the beginning of the year, so you should be able to catch them all with a quick archive dive.

Being that I would be an implausible task to remember and rank the full year of cyoa's, I have elected to split the task in twelve, (Although mainly this is an excuse to reflect on things before they pass us by)First choice poll:https://strawpoll.com/6QnMQJeJbneRanking poll:https://strawpoll.com/eNg6va1Q4gA/As always, you are encouraged to replay the above cyoa's before votingVoting ends at the very start of the 6th, in 43 hours
>>98301865tfw i dont remember really any of those so I'm just going to pick one at random
>>98301865>Being that I would be an implausible task to remember and rank the full year of cyoa'sMission unclear; I'll see you in December for the Poll to end all Poll featuring all the previous winners.
>>98301877I liked mol, and the conduitcyoa. And the fantasy knight one was decentIt's been a slow month but there have been some decent releases, and it's only about 20min to replay most of them
>>98301882nah I'm holding out for that Danmachi CYOA.
>>98301879It will have to be both after any december releases and after the poll for said releasesPerhaps the 15th of january or something like that
>>98301888Yeah.It's good, to have something to look forward to beyond Never Evers and WIPs.
>>98301865Shogun Showdown would be my pick, but I would have rather been a hero/adventurer in the same setting.
yeah this place is dead...
>>98301933It's not over until I get Echoes PSY.
>>98301750>a critical mass of anons were filtered by his update's balancingOops, all elitism tards that don't realize that a never ending global war requires countless bodies and excellent logistics.
>>98302013b-but my thematic team of PRAETOR units...
>>98302013This is why Insects, Orcs, and Slimes are tied for the master race.
>>98302065Don't forget undead
>>98301933The only valid choices are either Indra or yourself.
>>98301933Rumi of course.The mission is more important. The demon girl shouldn't even be with us.Stupid anime logic. Bad CYOA.SAD!!!
>>98302081True, undead are great but do eat into magic. Plants are supreme at logistics but easily countered, so I lean towards having them as more of a garrison force.
>>98302013>critical mass of anons were filtered by his update's balancing>Oops, all elitism tards that don't realize that a never ending global war requires countless bodies and excellent logistics.And people wonder why the forces of darkness lose. Conquering the world isn't the point, and - if (you) are horrific enough - might actually blow uo in (your) face. The win condition is to get the goddesses to give up on the world. And few things get the juices flowing more than a dark army marching on your defenses.Spreading secularism and subtly underming the cultural elements that the goddesses like about the world is a far safer (and cheaper) approach. Commercial pesticides and fertilizers to undermine the nature goddess, game theory and predictive models to undermine the luck goddess . . . And maybe establish a national wet t-shirt contest "in honor of the goddesses" to really cheese 'em off.

>>98300173>>98301237We will post Outer Reincarnation every thread until you like it.>>98299750So, I'm not sure what sacrifice means, as that can mean many things, but if it's what I'm thinking, then I wouldn't do this at all. With that said, I will make a build anyways:Shrinking violetCurvyLoving homeOld moneyUnemployed (she's old money it's fine)Sexual preferences, I'll keep that a secret.
>>98299810Did we ever get a "peaceful negotiator" build for Isekai Bounty Hunter? Where (you) will try and talk them down, and succesfully integrate (your) targets into society?Obviously that wouldn't work for all of 'em, but there's something about the idea of throwing an art/fashion show for the Nascent Fleshcrafter Demon Lord (as a sort of social blackmail) that appeals to me.(Although I haven't figured out how to see his face when he sees the fliers encouraging everyone to come see latest from "the greatest fleshsculptor in two worlds" . . . when this is the first he's even heard of the show.)
>>98302195I think there were some like that in reddit.
>>98302180>We will post Outer Reincarnation every thread until you like itNo means no. :)

>>98302210>>Drifting Cloud refuses to sacrifice himself after you kill Rumi>>Mission Failure>You are a SHIT commanderIn anon's defense, the cyoa really does push (you) into suicide or exile, as all of the other options block (you) from winning.

>>98302316This is one of the few ScottishAnon cyoas that I don't like. I've read enough cosmic horror to know that (you) are pretty much screwed regardless of (your) choices, and I've never been a fan of the no-win scenario. Oh well - he did a lot that I love.
>>98302239>Passers-by look at the thirty-something grown man bawling like a child on a park bench on a spring morning
>>98302204>think there were some like that in reddit.Hmm . . .Out of curiosity, I took a look. They've got a LOT of illegal builds over there. Nothing too bad - mainly stuff like trying to take too many targets, or attempting to use the Prepaid reward on additional Boons. One guy, though, was trying to become the Skill-Stealing Min-Maxxer using the Three Wishes. (Gotta salute the ambition, though.)
>>98301865Thank you Poll Anon for your service.

Reminder that the death and immortality cyoa contest is set to end July 14th, We are down to the last 10 days! If you are planning on participating please hold off on posting yours until the 11th. I (Voidsoul) have already completed mine and will hold this compact, as I think if everything releases at the same time it will be more exciting for the thread. Everyone else who finishes theirs may join the Compact and I will list them when I make this post every thread, if you reply to this saying yours is done.One Anonymous user has joined the compact.This is also a general call to see how many people are planning on submitting for the contest. If you don't want me to win, try at least a little bit, as mine is aggressively mid.Thank you for your attention, and best of luck in this hot summer, where dreams of death and avoiding it eternally lay.
>>98302862Great, new cyoa idea. Fuck that guy and you're a wizard.You have certaim amounts of reagents and a couple of curses you can send at a target. Budget and send em off. [Then a secret second page where the curses rebound and you have to deal with that with the reagents you have left.]
>>98302864>where dreams of death and avoiding it eternally lay.It is better to never have been born
>>98302893But we're already here, so let's make the most of it and party!Does anyone know of a more on theme source for Bakuzan Gako and Koryu? I don't want to ship it with stills from the anime, but nothing else had both, showed most of the weapons, or was somehow ever further off brand.
>>98302943>so let's make the most of it and party!>"Just become a mindless NPC who consooomes life, live laugh love haha!"No. I will not
>>98302943If you want a saber and dagger combo the Rakuyo exist.
>>98302968>"Just become a mindless NPC who consooomes life, live laugh love haha!"Did I say that? No. Life is absurd. There is no inherit meaning and the door to leave is always there. But there's also no meaning in death, and death is guaranteed at the end anyway. So find a dance that speaks to you and dance it furiously into the night. If you don't you're already less than dead.
>>98302981That's exactly what you said implies. Just ignore suffering and life's evil and act like a fooldeath does not equal nonexistenceIf you can be born once you will be born again, and again, and again, eternal recurrence of torturous existence
>>98302977Ahh yes I do like this, thank you!
>>98302986>eternal recurrence of torturous existenceEven more reason to find your dance. We are all damned to repeat our steps, our mistakes, our pains. But the choices that bring us there are in our control - at least partially. If I must repeat the dance forever - and I must - then I will dance the dance of my choosing, and do so feverishly, sweaty, and filthy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLzxuIfD9rU
>>98302995Filthy NPC who propogates life for the sake of suffering you alone deserve this eternal curse not meI never asked to be bornTo never have been born is only thing anyone should desire and failing that...Job 3:11 "Why did I not perish at birth; why did I not die as I came from the womb?"

The romance option for the bossfight is done. Now just need to do the revengance 1.
>>98303166>only readable text is "NO"What a nice encouragment to finish your cyoa.
>>98303172Good point, this is supposed to be the happy route.
>>98302679Yeah, I noticed some builds were weirdly hostile to the premise of the cyoa.
y'all ever just look back at one of your builds and realize that you'd lowkey get slimed out day one
>>98303431No, after I'm done vividly hallucinating the scenario I dump it from memory.
>>98303431No, I'm usually pretty strongI do sometimes consider changing objectives or optimising further though
>>98303431no, when Choosing My Own Adventure I always wait for the thread to decide what build is the strongest and then copy it so I'm always the strongest
>>98301678Are you actually watching this shit unironically
>>98303535In the year of our lord 2026? No, it couldn't be. It has to be done ironically!
>>98303535It's good background viewing material while doing my Umamusume runs.
Danmachi is one of those settings that had a lot of potential but it got fucking squandered. Reminds me of some ttrpgs that got worse over time.
>>98303629>Reminds me of some ttrpgs that got worse over timeThe beginning of the end is whenever an independent game developer sells out and assimilates into the 5e system “to reach a wider audience” even though the 5e system is proven to lower the iq.

Here's my current archetype I'm putting on top of a Vigilante. (Fleshcrafted Golem template on a human - magical girl themed on Madoka Magica)https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RJ9MXL-zn3FtGR0WYm67gXLjyy2x6VgLHfx175Pa4RA/edit?usp=sharing
>it’s a cool setting in potential, BUT, it’s like flawed in a lot of waysMany such cases. The future is learning to dissect a given piece of work and to appreciate its parts. Your favorite fiction is not safe from anyone. Even its own author. It’s especially not safe from AI. Consider the movie Thirteen Ghosts. Great idea, great set, but horrible movie.
>>98303729That’s pretty cool anon.
>it’s another fantasy setting where the twelve year olds are literal geniuses who can do literally anything sigh

>>98303822
>>98303760Thank! But I'm a gambling addict in games, so I need gambling mechanics on top of the normal gambling mechanics. I had to stop myself from assigning a number to each maneuver, so you were trying to hit 21 without going over. Hitting 21 would grant a free crit, but busting locks you out of maneuvers for a few rounds. Instead of the three cycle.

>>98303833>>98303849>MushokuI remember seeing online someone wondering why the MC wasn't in that Isekai Quartet thing, where a bunch of isekai characters are all put in a highschool together. And someone just answered that for all they knew he was; it was just you'd only find out if the characters went past an elementary school and heard all the screaming.

>>98304028Will do!>>98304066I'm sorry anon, the compact is for those who are making a cyoa for the contest. Even if it's a shitpost 5 minute thing in paint. I believe in you. Here's some ideas:Minimum viable product:Immortality or Death. Pick 1:Immortality.Death.Last will and testament:Sorry anon you're about to die, exactly 1 hour from now. For every minute you allow yourself to die early, you may pass power on to the next poster. Make some powers and make immortality an option. Necromancy cyoa:Literally just be the Liche cyoa, they're immortal and Powerful And death themed.You could make how fresh your appearances be the determinant for points. Then just go to D&D 3.5 and get some spells from there for the spell book.Don't spend too much time and don't worry too hard about it, I made mine in about 3 hours.
Elden Ring Devlog 7-4-2026Wow that took longer than expected! I wanted this character to get some extra attention mainly cause I'm a weeb. Only the final secret boss will have alternative boss fight pages, I ain't doin this for anyone else. Back to making areas for this week. Finally, lunaria of the lakes. Let's fuse a crystal scorpion to Sorceress Sellen, like it's FMA!
>>98304231>Only has 1hr to work on his cyoa>makes 3 pagesYeah right
>>98304238I will be honest. I did not start work on these three pages until yesterday. I spent about ~4PM to ~10PM on the first page, and then ~7AM to ~10 AM on the second page, and then ~1 PM to now on the third. [I cut out a lot of blogposting about my life to explain why I had time to do this.
>>98304231Lookin forward
>>98304314Lmaoooooo
>>98304314I wish we had more cosmic bugs to fight in Elden Ring. Apparently the Scarlet Rot was associated with scorpions, and had a godlike scorpion as its avatar, in the deep past. For all we know the Rot came down from space the same way the Beast did with the Ring.
>>98302150The manipulator approach does have a couple of drawbacks. There's less initial danger but an agent being discovered and interrogated is vastly riskier to overall operations than a patrol getting wiped-out. Rumours of infiltrators spreading work against a manipulator and suspicious or pious mortals could feasibly root you out. If a hero confronts you in combat, you are more or less just fucked. The invasion approach meanwhile has no need for subtlety, conquering is quicker than subverting, and they can get a larger income faster. There's also nothing stopping a warlord from infiltrating, much like a manipulator can also have armies, but there's less personal vulnerability.Would-be conquerors must not be too uncommon in the north, what with the swamp barbarians, arctic wizards, and deepwoods monsters. If you stuck to a coherent theme and didn't take Overt Lord you could easily get away with pretending to be an extremely successful prodigy for a while. By the time the goddesses catch on, you could have the north under your boot and be making ready for the warpath. Even then, the goddesses are three beautiful women surrounded by worshipful yes men who hate each other. If you don't go all-out on the blasphemy from the start, they likely won't coordinate a response other than scattered crusades for some time. The invasion route is very viable.

I have no cosmic bugs to fight. Interestingly, I already referenced a scorpion, but it's primarilya reference to the green sun prince charm that is one of the main steps in becoming a Yozi, where you must "consume the scorpion" which I take to mean that you must make the poison a part of yourself to force the world to reject you as much as you reject the world. I could have a big bug fight, if you have milicent as a companion (I gave her the needle, but never went back to check on her, so she did not use it). If she's there when you defeat the rot scorpion to help her mantle into outer god status? Thoughts?
>>98302862>im curious, when did everyone agree that magic needed some mystical energy called mana? all ye olde shit never mention "mana", where'd the term and concept come from?Video games and RPGs. They needed some way to keep magic users from just non-stop spamming spells, and most settled on the idea of a power pool of points.(Dungeons and Dragons being a notable outlier with its memorized spells.)As for the actual term? I think it's Hawaiian in origin. Not sure how everyone settled on it, though

There's also nothing stopping a warlord from infiltrating, much like a manipulator can also have armies, but there's less personal vulnerability.Interrogated about what, exactly? :)In a successful infiltration/conversion/corruption strategy, almost no one has the full picture of what's going on. And many (perhaps most) believe in what they're doing. For example, (you) release a wave of alchemists to make cheap birth control available to the masses. Each one believes that letting people control their own fertility is a good thing, and each one is sincere in thinking they're trying to help people.There's nothing to interrogate out of them, except maybe that they've got a "boss" whom they rarely communicate with. Which would be true of a lot of people. And yet the end result is a lot fewer prayers to the luck goddess, from people desperately hoping to avoid an unwanted pregnancy.(Works in reverse for fertility potions for couples hoping to conceive, too.)

>>98304395DollAnon is the one doing the ranni cyoa?
>>98304855It's purposefully vague so everything is left up to the player's interpretation since Miyazaki refuses to say what is concretely correct then anything is true depending on how you want to view the story.Either Marika planned it all in the scheme to end all schemes to escape from the Greater Will's controlOr Radagon did it to usurp Marika's godhoodOr Miquella co-planned the Night of Black Knives with RanniOr it was entirely Ranni's schemeOr whatever you want to think>>98304885Yeah
>>98303933After some thought - and a couple of discussions with ChatGPT - I think a "good guy" demon lord build is viable in Edea. With a caveat, though.Even if (you) are a "good" demon lord, the local gods can't afford to let (you) just crash on their metaphorical couch for a century. They've got to make it clear to all the other demon lords out there that they'll mount a strong defense of their world.Plus, there's an active wager about (you) dying quickly. Even if Anastasia was beloved/feared by all the other demon lords, some are going to want to collect on it. So they're going to be stirring up trouble, like false flag operations in (your) name.So outright peace is unlikely. But there is precedent in the cyoa for strategic arms limitation treaties between gods and demon lords. So you might be able to negotiate some deal to take the quad-blessed hero off the table. Maybe something in the vein of Daella (the comfort goddess) staying neutral (and not offering her blessing), in exchange for a commitment on (your) behalf to not use diseases or unleash monster rampages against civilians. War isn't comfortable after all.But even if (you) are a genius negotiator, (you) are probably going to have accept that Aselia is going to be coming after (you). As a war goddess, conflict is kind of her thing, and she's the logical choice to show off the defenses of Edea.Keeping it at that level should be doable, though. Particularly if (you) make it clear that (you) are only a temporary resident, and aren't challenging their control of the planet. And maybe kick in some "rent money" to help smooth things out.
Surely you could drawback max and use dominator to make the goddesses into your slaves
>>98305060 (me)Sorry I forgot to include *and take usurper* after drawback max
>>98304768True that. A competent infiltration won't have them in the same network, but patterns will inevitably show themselves. Birth control alchemy here, material atheism there, wisdom goddess agitators, new business chains cropping up. They all have the same anti-goddess connection. I don't think the average human, or even a brilliant one, is going to be able to trace them back to their origins but they could draw some connections, take their findings to the temple of the goddesses, and bring it to their attention. Then the goddesses could start having their cult search in detail...Popping off the lid before you've reached critical mass is a death sentence for a manipulator. There's much less margin for failure. Women are also far more intrigued at social conspiracies than physical violence and the goddesses are all paranoid, so they may paradoxically be likelier to care if there's credible evidence of a puppetmaster pulling strings in the perfumer's guild than if a tyrant is brazenly razing towns.Another factor is that an optimal manipulator misses out on Monstrous Menagerie, and +1 point can have a decisive impact on a build. Manipulators are strong and safe, there's ample reason they are the most popular specialty by far, but they have their own drawbacks. Later on in the open warfare stage, they're also less well-positioned to effect the outcome than any of the others, and while they can sabotage, the Spymaster is outright superior in that respect. Really though, it boils down to personal preference and what appeals to your own leanings.
Can someone explain how spells work? What does "any two affinities" mean—two elements or two individual tiers?https://imgchest.com/p/ne7bqbbkj75
>>98305215I assume it is 2 different elements if you were to ask me.
>>98305138Some of that could hidden behind the goddesses' mutual mistrust. The goddess of order seems like a natural stalking horse for an infiltration/subversion plan. Have (your) networks bolster her efforts to build sewers and public hygene, and (you) weaken both Luck and Nature. Promote the birth control/fertility potions as a way to bring Order to people's lives . . .Nature isn't a bad option, either. She provides a good vector to justify a push on machismo, weightlifting, maybe even an obnoxious "men's rights" push. After all, a "real" man doesn't need tech. He gets ripped like an action movie star, and wins women through pure animal magnetism, right?(Assuming the goddesses have some similarities to mortal women, they might even be too busy admiring these muscular Adonises to notice the chauvinism creeping in behind them . . .)And Luck? Well, Luck is a great excuse for "random" weirdness.The subversive stalking horse strategy wouldn't work nearly as well if the goddesses were truly friends or even allies. But based on the lore/starting points page, they're constantly feuding with each other. So as long as (you) don't push too fast, too far against any one, (your) actions should be camouflaged by their own turf grabs.But if (you) do get noticed, if (you)'ve played (your) cards right, (you) are too intertwined with one of the goddess's own organizations to be easily removable. Like cancer, (you)'ve metastasized to the point that (you) can't just be cut out - and she might not want to. If she's arrogant enough, she might decide to tolerate (you) in the hopes that (you)'ll force out her rivals, leaving her in charge. And then it's just (you) and her. . .

>>98304902Ranni is definitely the biggest Mary Sue in the game since all her “flaws” are just excuses to justify her bullshit. She’s quite literally behind everything. EVERYTHING. Also you can’t work against her and you can’t even kill her. But she can kill you! Miyazaki’s favorite waifu. You can’t even kill her mom!
>>98305215>two individual tiersThat.The spell base is the shape and the affinities is what it do, so take the Barricade spell base, add the Tier 2 Resonance and Retribution affinities, for a pane of mana that make stuff that go through it faster and tougher.

I’ve been trying for to get a straight answer for years, so if someone could please answer me. None of Tok’s CYOAs accommodate the average gay anons sexual preferences, so where does that leave us for the filthy waifu choices. Our we allowed to substitute the word with husbandos. The stipulation is we have to find the character attractive, so where is the harm and foul? Are gays forced to swallow their disgust and choose the least offensive females for waifu options
>>98304614> the climate change protest crowdIt’s just pathetic the depths some men will stoop to for a crumb of pussy.
>>98305586Just pick husbandos you prancing lala gay man it's not that hard.
>>98305586All reddit nsfw cyoas accommodate gay men. Authors like tok plaster the fucking things with uncensored dicks.
