What is your favourite specific yet vague CYOA? Like how SaveState's stuff is written like there's a bunch of rigid underlying rules but doesn't show us any of them, so we have to interpret what that looks like. I mean crunchy without the chewing, if that makes any sense. Black Magic wouldn't count for example, as it goes into intricate detail on exactly what you need to do to cast your spells.

>>98323528I like this one even though it doesn't even vaguely describe what magic can do.

>>98323528Heavenly Kitchen Realm. There is a full fledged Cultivation system and it is obviously pretty intricate but most of the choices are more vibe than splat with words like "above average" being the most crunch you will find.
>>98323619
>>98323528I would mention Quietanons CYOAs as a possible example of this.

>>98323206That's pretty close to what I envisioned, my intent was more:>I am noble, or from a great god-mothDeclared from the character into the void by her very life, implying that she'll 'return' to her god-moth form eventually.
>>98323633>Incarnate>Starting areaImmortal Dawn City>MethodsBloodseep chaliceSnakeskin Scripture>LegacyBlood of the Ancients>QuestsThe River of YouthThe Celestial DragonSo I made this build around the Blood of the Ancients blessing and intend to be the ultimate body cultivator. Immortal Dawn City to eventually reap/enslave the primordial being, Bloodseep chalice because ultimate Bloodline + bloodline method is good with nice utilities like sharing my bloodline. I do know that most similar builds choose Beast Usurpation but it’s not really my style and more importantly I want to pursue the Dao of cooking as well as the martial Dao. It is usually worth pursuing the alchemy path (or equivalent) in these settings but in this one it is a whole separate path which complicates things. The super prodigy ability of my bloodline makes pursing both feasible though. Also Snakeskin directly purifies your body including the blood specifically and its unique mechanism is involved in my quests. The Celestial Dragon for the luck boost, cooking him up into the ultimate dish, and I am guaranteed to be able to challenge him quickly before he reaches the final stage. The River of Youth because it counteracts my accelerated aging, and is related to primordial beings and likely their bloodlines. It seems obvious to me that it isn’t the river itself that is special but something in the water and that the source could be located. In any case it is a consumable (you do DRINK the water) so my cooking skills might be handy and the snakeskin method could allow me to incorporate the energy of the water into myself.

GILGILBERTGILBEEEEEEEERT
What angle would you find more interesting for a male mentor narrator.>Stoic character who hides his pain behind logic.>Hedonistic shill mentor who hides his pain behind irreverence.Both would be wise and want to help you out.
>>98323912Terror Sandwitch!
>>98323912Stoic
>>98323912Is the second one a good wingman?
>>98323998
>>98323980Both set you up as there is a waifu section.
Reminder that the death and immortality cyoa contest is set to end July 14th, We are down to the last 6 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.Night Rider is mostly done, and will join the compact. Best of luck!Kot poster is considering making one. I hope it has cats!An anonymous user #2 is also considering making one.Wodan has stated he hasn't made one. But he has not said he won't. I hope he does, for what it's worth.Thank you for your attention, may fortune be in your favor.

>>98324197It will be two more than we had before.
>>98324230????
>>98324230>>98324161
>>98323912First one. The second one is systematically insufferable.
>>98324356The second one is basically Iroh from avatar, at least that's the angle I would use.
>>98324362My mistake, I read "hedonistic" and my mind jumps to Tok-adjacent coomers.
>>98323998Okay guys that know about HxH. How viable is it to try to imitate Sukuna's shrine technique?The idea is transmuting aura to have edge like Gon's scissor, then fire it with emission. Also have another version that doesn't use emission but its close combat and needs touching.The final move would be transmuting fire, doing the fire arrow thing and fire it with emission again. Maybe add a restriction of an opponent needing to touch your aura before they can be targeted by the arrow. Would it be good or a bad technique?I think the slahes could be invisible with In like Hisoka and Kurapika do with their hatsus.Also, would Enhancement be the best category to be for this? As its in the middle of Transmutation and emission, with 80%, you could be like Gon, have those side techniques while also focusing on getting a strong body
>>98324372I get it most think of hedonism as purely sexual in nature.But it is very wide in its expression.
>>98324043>Wodan has stated he hasn't made one. But he has not said he won't. I hope he does, for what it's worthSince you asked me nicely I decided to start working on a short one but it ended up diverging from the original topic to the point where its now just a generic isekai and I prob wont have it done in time anyway.
>>98324377Viable, I think. You may lose some points because you imitate someone else though. You can be fine with Transmutation as well, Emission aspect is very basic here.
>>98324377Effectively impossible.You would need both extremely high and powerful emmision, presumabley being cast continuously over some area, and the training for it is implausibleAlso, trasmutation gives nen properties, like weight or colour or sharpness. Sharpened nen would effectively just be a slightly less efficient bullet, because you are spending energy on sharpness that could be spent on speed
>>98324377I think you'd get better luck trying to hyper focus on emulating a part of Sukuna's kit, rather than the whole thing. For example. You could go Transmuter and focus on emulating cleave (touch = cut) and then use the closeness to Conjuration to create Shrine, with would help compensate with the lack of range with Nen conditions. You'll lose out on being able to fling dismantles, but your technique will be a lot more Hunter×Hunter like.
>>98324549Cleave [Transmutation 100%]When you touch something you can spend aura to cut it along any orientation or angle of your choosing (more durable the object the more aura expended).Shrine [Conjuration 80%, Emission 60%]Manifest a Shrine that paints a sphere of influence over reality Include the conditions of being able to escape it (unlike a pocket dimension like Cheetu) and have the Shrine be destructible to end the effect early, in return everything within the sphere of influence counds as being "touched" for the purposes of Cleave. You could probably modifier Shrine to do more for you, but that's the base idea.
>>98324535Not the domain expansion, thats too much unless with an area conjurated with rules and vows, and even it would be very nerfed. Just the uses without domain expansion>Sharpened nen would effectively just be a slightly less efficient bullet, because you are spending energy on sharpness that could be spent on speedi mean, its just like Gon's scissor but you can shoot it. And Gon's scissor were strong enough to defeat an enemy Rock wouldn't be able, so making nen sharp is a good use I think>>98324549>>98324586Its a good idea but I like too much the whole arrow furnace thing. Yours is probably what would do a stronger character tho>>98324485I guess you are right, transmutation would mean worse physical stats and less range, or losing more strength with range, but stronger fire and slashes. So it would be a purely offesive transmutation skill with mid range options.Maybe I will also add that the fire arrow gets stronger the more slashes the enemy receives at the cost of a lowered output at the start, instead of it being a fire nuke like sukuna does, it only becomes like that if the enemy is already strong enough to sustain a fuck lot of slashes and useless in the rest of situations. Like a more concentrated pain packerAnyway, thank you 3 guys
>>98324640The real fun JJK power I've often toyed with converting to H×H is Sky Manipulation.My natural instinct was to use Emission for spacial manipulation, but I think the idea of using Conjuration to selectively give *empty space* a kind of texture that only the user can manipulate (condition: must be physically manipulated by the user, as required by the infused texture) would be so cool. You could influse space with a solid texture to double jump, infuse it with the texture of fabric to bend space like how Uro does. Not sure how to pull of Thin-Ice Breaker though.
>>98324433Thank you for trying anyway, wodan. I appreciate it!
>>98324197I'll make 2 more just to prove you wrong.

>>98324701Wouldn't thin ice breaker just be making the texture of a crystal while allowing it to break? You could a hard but britle texture, like a diamon but flat
>>98323542One of my favourites
Maledom is based, it's presence should be a requirement in every CYOA.
>>98324855Tok approved post
>tfw my build will never be as good as the strongest and/or effortfagwhy try
>>98324867Tok wants to be the little girl and be dominated, that's different.
>>98324855It's already in every cyoa by dint of anon having balls.
>>98324230the sound of magetrannies roping
>>98323542This is by the same author and probably uses the same magic system
>>98325090Nah, there's nothing connecting the two cyoas.
>>98325140It uses the same terms for magic schools and the description for chronomancy references interdimensional wizards
>>98325160>same terms for magic schools"Enchanting" and "necromancy" are incredibly generic.>interdimensional wizardsSo they're both in a multiverse. Same multiverse? No clue.

is there any demand for a rezero cyoa?
>>98325565None whatsoever; sorry to report
>>98325565Yes. Its premise seems fairly interesting.
>>98325565Rezero as a setting is too contrived to really work as a cyoa
The worst part of having a never ever WIP is that I have lost the right to pester authors to release theirs
>>98325565If 5anon does it, sure, I generally like his franchise cyoas. Other authors are much more hit and miss.
>>98325565I'm always up for anime franchisekino

Damn, an overexcited dog knocked my phone off of the table and shattered the front screen beyond all function. Now I'll be without one until this upcoming weekend. Fortunately I'd already had the gut feeling to transfer all of my WIP related text off of it and into a couple of archives, but I had a lot of family-related texts and images saved onto it. This shouldn't slow down my work since I do 99% of it on PC but is nonetheless a bummer. I hope they'll be able to transfer the SIM card data.
