>>98907894https://litter.catbox.moe/8bxd1mf2mt9k3y99.mp4W-What could this be??? Is this... is this... FTMP the Fighting Game?! PLEASE SELECT YOUR FUCKING CHARACTER!!!
>>98908071HOOOOOOLY SHIT
>>98908071I will never understand why something as bland as FT gets this kind of effort, but good on you for actually doing something
>>98908071Damn I didn't know Stone had hips like that. No wonder he's public enemy #1, he's the baddest bitch of them all...
>>98908071The rough handwriting for her name, the two layers of bars on her stats representing her summons, said summons aura-farming in the back... ohh, it's just too peak. When I answered the prompt I was expecting something like what happened in DE, but you really went all out for this! I'm amazed! Thanks for including my build in the mix!Also, is the little brain icon supposed to be character difficulty? If so, I'm surprised Belladonna turned out to be the easiest one, I would have expected it to be Lorus considering all his movement and survival tools. That damn cocoon...
>>98908080You need to come back down to earth man, you should not be expecting complex settings in a general that was born partly because of danmachi and exploded with mha.
>>98907894Thoughts?
>>98908255>born partly because of danmachilollmao
>>98908271We should all kill Uriel Emmanuel
>>98908080I will never understand why you keep offending other people's tastes. Why would anyone want to play with you when you're like this?
>>98908274You weren't there when cyoag was bitching about the first danmachi run. OR might have been the biggest, but it was not the only factor.
>>98908300They bitched about every MP run, danmachi wasn't special.
>>98908071Wow, really nice work anon.>>98908271Now what archetypes are they
>>98908404
Why is Desu dead? Who killed it?
>>98908495Me.
>>98908271>>98908439Long-name-chan's profile pic is always hilarious.
>>98908568How dare you refer to the Great Akhmun-Seht, Immortal Luminary, High Priest, Deathmaster, Keeper of the Grand Archive, Breaker of Sumunra, Golden Lord of the Chariot Legion, Favoured of the Death Gods as "Long-name-chan"? You should be flogged, and then flogged some more.
>>98908577Harder Daddy!
>>98908495tbdesu I-desu don't-desu no-desu(each pronounced deh-soo)
>>98908495Sometimes it does that, it will come back after a bit.
>>98908693No it won’t It’s over
4plebs is better anyway
just use 4plebs you drama queens
>>98908704>>989087064plebsmind
>>98908255I don't expect complex settings. You need to stop assuming anything about anyone because you suck at it.
>>98908293When I'm like what? I've played with countless anons. You being easily offended by mild comments has no bearing on that.
>>98909036>>98909048You keep being insufferable.
Unironic serious question: are they still playing SC? Additional, less serious question: are any of them playing an mp that will last longer than 2 threads?
>>98909440No and no
>>98909440SC's already deadFT will last 3 more threads
>>98909295You're a oversensitive baby.
>>98909447>*poops everywhere*>ewww gross stop pooping everywhere>why are you so sensitive? I'm just pooping
>>98909453I'm not interested in hearing about your scat fetish.
>>98909461Which is contradicted by the sludge pouring from your mouth
>>98909440SC never actually started, it was two or three point whores and a couple trolls from the other thread egging them on to cause chaos.
>>98909476It didn't cause any chaos. Nothing happened at all.
>>98909444>>98909446I'm so tired of this man. I mean I considered the possibility of trying out harahel just for the sake of doing something long-term but they're doing a dnd style thing instead freeform writing kind of mp I prefer. Also that cyoa is weird. I just wanna do something boss, I'm tired. Lurking makes me feel like a bum. Making a build just exhausts me knowing that the mp is gone with the breeze. Well, back into the abyss I go anyways I just felt like complaining
>>98909485Actually, that's fair. I amend my statement to say that they *attempted* to cause chaos.
>>98909488why don't you try and interact with the other builds to revive them
>>98909488BUT HAVE YOU CONSIDERED POSTING AN MP YOU LIKE
>>98909488Join FT? Post a cyoa you like?
>>98909488Anon, FT has 3 active anons at least. You can't listen to predictions about that one. If you don't like it that's fine but it's not dead.
next thread should just be 200 posts of nothing but adventures and maybe people will pick one
>>98909517the one we pick? dragon ball rentryslop
>>98909495He would need to have a build for that, it's pretty clear from his post he didn't even make one and doesn't want to waste the effort for something that is already dead.
>>98909527unironically if the dbz one wasnt 500 pages long id consider it just to do something different
>>98909517Why not this one?
What's everyone working on right now? Any builds, any writefags?
>>98909786Nothing
>>98909786more fairy tail stuff, though not a writefag yet, I'm trying to figure out the general scenery for the next city megalo fin stops by
>>98909786I'm daydreaming about that really cool writefag I'll write againMaybe I'll daydream about the really cool cyoa I'll make later
>>98909786I thought of an umamusume build but finding a faceclaim was impossible so im just masturbating now watching youtube
>>98909786Making builds for possible Fate runs. I'm not really into FT, and SC seems like a stillbirth, so this seems like a more productive and fun use of my time. Hope the FT anons have fun though!The recent announcement that Worm is getting a comic book adaptation makes me interested in another Worm run sometime in the future, though PA was recent enough that I'm not sure how interested anons would be in more superhero stuff.What about you?
>>98909869>The recent announcement that Worm is getting a comic book adaptation makes me interested in another Worm runStop trying to make Worm happen it's not gonna happen
>>98909908That's another anonI'm the anon who talked about it last time
>>98909983Well both of you need to STOP
>>98909991Make that THREE of you.
>>98909908nta but what else do you suggest?Aside from the FT crowd doing their thing - and God bless them for it - this place is dead. We've had movement even recently with PA, and even got good OC in Dark City and Harry Potter.There's got to be something that can be run to get anons back and creating again, and historically, Spirit Conscript, Worm, and Naruto did well. We've had one be a stillborn, but the other two are still there.That or we try something new that will likely fail.
>>98910115Def not capeslop because capeslop sucks
>>98910115Worm is one of the worst MPs so anything but that one. Like Fate or something random from /cyoag/.>That or we try something new that will likely fail.Why does that matter? Not like we have anything left to lose.
>>98910120We literally ran MHA for years anon.
Stop listening to the losers saying everything sucks, there'll always be one and they're probably the same guyUnless you're trying to run kingdomshit or something like that tank cyoa
>>98910153and now it's dead and can't hurt us anymore
>>98910156I'd rather run those over W*rmI WILL kill any Worm run with shitposting and falseflagging within SECONDS and that IS a promise, try me
I liked the comfy robot cyoa.
>>98910252Why don't you go play it thenWhy'd you let it DIE
>>98910265>Why don't you go play it thenIt's not here right now.>Why'd you let it DIEBecause 1 anon doesn't make an MP.
>>98910265>DIEDICE the cube that changes everything reference? Anons know mid?
>>98909786Relationship chart and planning stages of something else. Also I apparently have some posts I already wrote answers to but didn't post, so I should probably do that.
>>98905133Damn you work fast. Good to see you made it in time.It was very fun, mostly lighthearted, with a twist at the end. Good to know that Laurie is scared of ghosts. I also found it very funny that the scariest thing in the library was probably Aldrich without even needing a costume, his normal look illuminated only by his magic and stray flames already looks out of a horror movie. The little mystery at the end was a nice touch.Lorus doesn't like sweets, so he wouldn't have any (still edible) sweets in his room. In that time he closed the door he most likely would teleport around to pick them up from somehere else, leaving compensation behind, just for this. He wouldn't want to make the kids sad after all.
>>98903324Thanks.>thought it would be more interesting if I started producing more moments of her cool and composed self from the past between her and Megalo FinFor this I wanted a more lighthearted intro with a general idea of what's happening, but I was planning on having more serious moments later too. An actual "duel" of sorts for one, when Lorus is more isolated. But of course it would be cool to see from the source too, her appearing more dignified and confident in a less desperate way. She's also more used to social manipulation thant most of the guild, that's another part were she can shine as very competent, there is much to explore about serious Bella too.
>>98908071Why are they locked?
>>98910365demo version
>>98910365You need to play the story mode to unlock the full roster in this kusoge
>>98908071So that's what that was about. It's really cool, now that I think about it it was forshadowed by that one prompt saying it was relevant.I know way too little about this kind of fighting games to know what any of that means, but I like the style.>>98908146>That damn cocoon...Wouldn't that be his loss condition? I don't know much about fighting games, but that seems the kind of power that only shows up in the loss cutscene, maybe with an ominous quote.
>>98910414>I don't know much about fighting games, but that seems the kind of power that only shows up in the loss cutscene, maybe with an ominous quote.Thats what you think until...
>>98910365I'm going to assume it's because they did nothing yet. The unlocked ones all wrote something.
>>98910422Excuse me? That's a thing? It sounds extremely annoying to deal with. Now I guess I can see why this >>98908271 has hin in the should be banned tier.
>>98910438Gill's not even the worst of his kindhttps://youtube.com/watch?v=fLbk8gHl72k
>>98910440Just the type of shit Uriel does. We must kill Uriel Emmanuel.
>>98910446Promethean Lowtiers...
>>98910446Uriel can't come back from death last time I checked?
>>98910446You hate him cuz you aint him
>>98910115>what else do you suggest?Stardust Apocalypse. It's cool, and I think it's also new.
>>98910446Uriel is the brother albeit
>>98910474His name is Urien! Which is a real nigga name, Uriel is a girly name.
>>98910482shut up Urine boy
>>98910484GRAAHHHH
>>98910462>I think it's also new.We did it during the all stardust run but I'm cool with it
>>98908146>Also, is the little brain icon supposed to be character difficulty?Nah, that's int/wis. I added that attribute to compensate for builds that lack firepower and lean more on brainpower, to make things seem fair. In gameplay terms, I guess that translates to how many utility moves a character has and how effective they are, outside of straight damage.>>98910365This >>98910425>>98910359>An actual "duel" of sorts for oneI'm assuming this is the turning point where Lorus first gets comfortable with killing, the more clones he cuts down, the more nonchalant he becomes?
>>98909869>>98910115I'd play Fate, Worm, or Nardo
>>98910532Z Rank Shitstorm 2: Shit Stormier
>>98910532Could you not stir shit up
>>98910577what's the harm in saying he'd play one of those
>>98910531>the more clones he cuts down, the more nonchalant he becomes?Yes, kind of. It would be where he gets used to killing while also remembering that he's done it. When he goes psychotic from magic overuse he has no problem killing, but he also doesn't remember doing it. For the sake of the "duel" that would be the progression, of course it wouldn't directly transfer to a sudden willingness to kill other people afterwards, but he would start feeling significanly less guilty about say, cutting off an arm or two. He may even learn how to use a sword during it, because he doesn't actually know how to do that. He carries one for a different reason.
>>98910525>We did it during the all stardust runDamn. Well, I still think it's cool. It's better than other sci-fi cyoas at least.
>>98910462Never heard of it. Is it an expansion or something?
>>98909440I'll contribute to SC when other anons have genuine interest to it. I'm pretty sure other anons feel the same way so some of you better start discussing about the MP and we'll start appearing out of nowhere. And no, I'm not going to be the one to start anything.
>>98911504Is that true for all mps or just SC
>>98911504>And no, I'm not going to be the one to start anything.Why? That would be the quickest way to prove that you are right and that there are some anons still interested in SC. If you are unwilling to start the conversation how do you expect others to start it for you? Your post doesn't have much credibility if you don't want to take the first step.
>>98910806>Is it an expansion or something?It's actually standalone, from what I can tell. Seems mor like a progression of the setting rather than an expansion to the old stuff. But I guess it could be used with the rest.
>>98910806>>98911615Here is the link.https://imgchest.com/p/a846gp6v7xj
>>98911610>If you are unwilling to start the conversation how do you expect others to start it for you?The same question goes for you and others interested in the MP, young sprout.
>>98908271Huh, I thought Crown was pretty strong, wasn't she a wizard saint? Also, aren't Laruie's celestial spirits enough to nudge her towards mid tier? Belladonna's only the weak one among the three.
>>98911677It's a fighting game, power levels are equalized. What matters is their gameplay loop aka fighting style.
>>98911650Please post something im so bored and I need someone to make fun of
>>98911650I'm not in SC so I have no stake in it. If I had a discussion to start I would.
>>98911638Oh, its for people who dont like spaceships
>>98911700wtf based
>>98911700It can be used with the first one to also have spaceships.
>>98911677Crown is super fucking mechanically complex to play considering she has entirely unique systems among 90% of the cast thanks to Black Arts and Curse moves. Not to mention how much movement there is in Shadow arts. If you see someone play her right she'll lock you in an infinite combo that drains all your stats and leaves you feeling hopeless but more often she kinda just randomly throws out moves.You basically can't do damage right away because of how much ramping she has from curses, and dark arts have long windups but do a ton of damage. But if you can get someones defense shattered and then land a 3x damage move to chunk their health and send them flying through the stage wall into another level it feels great. Especially if you can perform the shukuichi into followup melee.
>>98911761Compare and contrast with someone like Lottie whose main move is 'Punch' into 'Punch Harder' who relies on just chip damage to slowly win the battle of attrition through one of the few regens available in the game and buffing herself every time you try to maintain distance so you can't just outrange her.
>>98910532Fate clock tower run?
>>98911700And that's a good thing.
>>98907894should I even try to recapture the old magic?
>>98912013no
>>98912013make a new build nigga
>>98912013I mean, one anon is there and doing exactly that, 2 almost, so... It also seems like we have at least 3 active anons.
>>98912013The only old magic I want back is MHA
>>98912020>>98912026You do remember that the FT run was started after we accepted reset old builds right? It started because of that discussion.
>>98912013Who's this guy
>>98912013That's why the FT run started. Do with that what you will.
>>98912013what old magic lmao
>>98912057He's the guyYou know... that one
>>98912148https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7W5iM-7ueKs
What if everyone was forced to join the same familia. What if our god was forced to be the god, like a sacrificial lamb. https://imgchest.com/p/xny82bpjwyb>I don’t want to be cringe!You will!
>>98912609No. Just no.
>>98912609
>>98912632You will be the god.
>>98912634Slavoj Zizek. Perfect build inspiration.
>>98912636How would that even work? You can't force me to make a build.
We had almost 50 builds in our 2024 FT run. I can't believe it, this time around we've got a measly 12, and I thought that was normal before looking at the past...
>>98912747yeah nowadays anons turn up their noses at every cyoa that doesn't 100% fit their tastes
>>98912609Stale meme is stale
>>98912767So post one you like, make a high effort build and convince people to join
>>98912148I wasn't here when Marakanon started posting OCs or whatever, I only know him as the drunkard mage in the past run.
Y'know, I think star dust apocalypse would be a cool mp. It has a lot of room for build variety, and the worldbuilding that's present is intriguing. The downsides are that it's not the best balanced with a lot a choice redundancy/superiority, and that there is a lot more unexplained vague worldbuilding than there is established facts. Still, I think that leaves room for creative writing. There's plot for the plot munchers and fight for fight faggers...ah, one can dream.
>>98912958alright, make a build
>>98912958Not anime, not interested
>>98912981But it is? It's way more anime than the average sci fi at least, just look at the spell section.
>>98912981You can use an anime faceclaim anyway, and I'm sure most others also would. It's just easier to find those.
>>98912964Done. >>98912987He might mean anime as in literally based on an anime.
>>98912958as long as no one gets spaceships because spaceships make boring fights so fuck those anons that want them
>>98912747Its been 2 years so imagine how many anons dont show up anymore. I am less than surprised.
>>98913132This. Sci fi just attracts milsim players like flies to shit and they don't belong here.
>>98912747It was never any good. We just had more anons back then.
>>98913233Gee I wonder why.
Worm Golden Age run set in the modern day?
>>98913144What about spaceships just for transportation?
>>98913373anons will never limit themselves to that and will just complain endlessly so no plus youll have some autist try to retrofit his shitbox into a warship and were back at square oneanything used just for transport can be just as easily assumed to exist off screen
>>98913233You just can't help yourself can you? Can't go a day without shitting on someone else's taste. Then you wonder why the anons left.
>>98913392But a fight on a ship would be cool though don't you think?
>>98913420you can do that without having the ship be a character or a characters property
>>98913400Anon you act like shitting on everyone else ITT isn't the only adventure people actually play these days. Come on now. We all (including you) prefer that quick dopamine hit over actually doing anything difficult.
>>98913439You sound like you would make a good villain build
>>98913426Nta but do you want everyone to just go around with the equivalent of a space bus or space taxi? Or have an NPC that's the team driver?
>>98913459you can just assume you get wherever you need to go same as every other adventurethis ain't the hobbit we dont need 150 pages of you describing how you walked to your destination
>>98913439No, I do not. I don't shit on people's tastes, at most I say something isn't for me and move on. I am here for MPs, not pointless arguing. Not everyone here is like you.
>>98913491Sure, anon. Sure. Threads are 95 percent complaining and 5 percent not, you're that 5 percent every time you special boy you.
>>98913542Unironically yes.
>>98913326Doesn't really make a lot of sense changing up the era. Each scenario is different because of the timeframe and their points are relatively balanced because of it. Changing the year kind of defeats the purpose as we're skipping past all sorts of important events.
>>98912609There just isn't enough interesting options imo. Magic is pretty limited, and so are the Development Abilites. Only Skills have a pretty decent selection. Also the whole level thing will always be an issue because if builds aren't of similar caliber it's really hard to go on the same type of quests, since even a single level is almost insurmountable to the previous one and you need to be a genuine freak prodigy with some cheat to make up the difference.
>>98913844I think he means having the golden age happen in the modern day instead of doing gestation with golden age point pools
>>98913862>you need to be a genuine freak prodigy with some cheatSounds like the pcsThe problem is the higher level builds are also probably cheating prodigies so it doesn't help as much
>>98913844>Changing the year kind of defeats the purpose as we're skipping past all sorts of important events.How many anons do you think actually care about any of that? Let me remind you that most of the anons that want to play worm never actually read worm. And some of them actively hate worm. Messing up canon is the least of their worries, and for some it's the goal.
I knew the Wormfag was an unironic Wormfag. My hatred grows.
>>98912958>I think star dust apocalypse would be a cool mp.Me too, that's why I bring it up once in a while. I even have half a build ready. But before starting something we should come up with a bit more details about it. Like being part of a team or a specific region of space we operate in.
>>98913400Crybaby faggots like you did more to make people leave than anons saying mean words. Nobody wants to walk on eggshells around losers with paper skin.
>>98913491You are pointlessly arguing right now. You could have just ignored the posts from those with different opinions than yourself, but you couldn't resist sperging out lol
The shitposters woke up.
>>98914022It was first brought up as a celebration for a new comic or somethig, it was pretty clear already. Also, we always had canonfags pushing canon even in runs where we don't have it, for many things, but especially worm, and city for some reason.
*blows up your MP*
Star Wars would be cooler and playable if it was about giant robots that could blow up planets
>>98914028That sounds like a reasonable goal. Supposedly the cast would already have a reason to team up for the sake of combating harbingers. Unless you were basing the idea of a team in another context. As for a region of play, since there aren't any real named areas to work with, would we just make up a star system or something and say all campaigns are approximately occurring in the same time and place there? Maybe a couple star systems?
>>98914057as if the regulars are any good, with their green reddit quips and phrases. If they produced anything of value, there wouldn't be anons coming in just to fuck with them.
>>98914429>Unless you were basing the idea of a team in another context.No, I didn't want to completely overwrite the setting. But the Harbringers are everywhere and space is vast, it was more about making a unit of sorts with the builds in it. Still the same premise but just enough reason for the involved anons not to follow the natural instinct to scatter to the most remote corners of fuck off nowhere.>As for a region of play, since there aren't any real named areas to work with, would we just make up a star system or something and say all campaigns are approximately occurring in the same time and place there?That's what I meant. Come up with a couple systems so anons aren't on the other side of the galaxy and have a reason to interact. Either option by itself could be enough of a reson to stick with each other, a team wouldn't necessarily need a reduced play area because they all move at the same time so we can just assume the others are close. The reduced play area on the other hand also works by itself, even if less well, since the points of interest would be the same. Having both seems like a good way to have actual interactions. Combined with the Wavelenghts of the cyoa it's a pretty good hook.Of course we don't need to come up with the whole map in advance, a couple planets and a home base of sorts should be enough to start. Something like "Arcadia, last bastion of humanity on the frontier" a space station situated in a moderately remote system, one mostly destroyed but with signs of reconstruction on various planets in the form of scattered settlements.
>>98911638Build diversity seems very limited here.
>>98914701You're gonna have to up the specs on your ECM modules if you want bait like that to be effective.
>>98914701I think you need your brain checked if you really think that.
>>98913862>Magic is pretty limitedAnd that’s a bad thing how? Limiting mages to only three spells per mage is one of the only good things about the setting. It prevents mages from being too good in too many areas. They’re specialized and their spells are potent.
>>98914988Well I meant more of the actual Magic choices. Being limited to 3 magics is actually fine because its not like we're really able to afford more even if we could, but the selection of magic is pretty mediocre. Less than half actually are chosen because the most picked spells can probably do their job better, not many people actually care about casting time, especially when running complementary magic abilities.
>>98908071Should I use the cheat code to unlock the rest of the cast, or do they remain shrouded in mystery forever? The art's already finished for all of them aside from Leopold.
>>98915006I say release one per thread or something. That way it's something fun to look forward to.
>>98915018more like once per day...
>>98915003If you take Metamagic the variety is crazy
>>98915049I mean theres a reason why its the most busted option, wasn't going to bring it up because I don't think its quite fair having an option that can turn your 3 spells into 9 spells simply by tuning their strength, not even counting the combinations you could pull off with it. With it you become one of the strongest magic users in history, without it you're pretty much hinging on a couple really good spells. Granted, some of them can simply be that good to put you in the history books anyway, but the average difference is enormous. I don't think needing people to take the same option to have variety is necessarily fixing the issue.
>>98915062>I don't think its quite fair having an option that can turn your 3 spells into 9 spells That’s not what’s busted about it. Just going by its wording it should allow you to create new spells entirely. Those nine spells don’t include combination spells or inventing new uses for the spells. But is it any more busted than the elf cunt who can literally steal/learn ANY spell if she sees it happen first?
>>98915074she can only copy elf spells (spells of her own race)
>>98915003>Well I meant more of the actual Magic choices.Grimoires exist. You can make your own custom spells with that.>>98915074>But is it any more busted than the elf cunt who can literally steal/learn ANY spell if she sees it happen first?Only if it was cast by an elf, it doesn't work on other races.
>>98915062>I don't think needing people to take the same option to have variety is necessarily fixing the issue.Take the multiplayer option and “metamages” will become the new elite type of mage that all other mages are jealous of
Danmachi is just a bad setting so of course it has a bad cyoa.
>>98915088>You can make your own custom spells with that.Is that really custom or is it tailored to the individual? I always thought taking a grimoire was like a surprise box. You’re guaranteed an awesome spell, but you don’t know what it is.
>>98914805Wasn't baiting. SC has way more options. >>98914833But I guess if I was you got got.
>>98915100I mean, lore wise yes, it's a loot box. But in practice for someone playing the cyoa it's essentially a custom spell, it's not like you can open a real grimoire and see what comes out, you still need to come up with it yourself.
>>98915103>SC has way more options.How is that a good comparison? You want every single cyoa to have the same variety as SC? That's retarded.
>>98915108>>98915100>it tailored to the individual?See it like this. Saying it's tailored to the individual is the roundabout way for the author to say you're the one making it.
>>98915129Doesn't stack up as well to what we already have running, why try to split the thread further. Not sure why you're freaking out though.
SCs options feel very samey desu.
>>98915159trvth nvke
>>98915159Me when I just start lying.
>>989151451, SC is dead. Nobody showed any real interest in it so this shouldn't matter. 2, it's a completely different genre from SC so why compare the 2?
>>98915159depends on the optionsI don't think it's a very well balanced cyoa
>>98915231>I don't think it's a very well balanced cyoaDefine "balance".There are two balance issues that plague cyoa, bad point pricing and the one true build.Bad point pricing is self explanitory.One True Build happens when one build is objectively better than all others.SC definitely has the former, but it's one of the few that Doesn't have the second issue.
>>98915219Crazy thing is I actually was very interested in SC but people stopped talking right after I started crafting. Either way, what's up with you guys always going to extreme takes? I like SC, it's cool. I like SDA, it's cool. They both have their own merits. I would do FT but I just don't know enough about the verse to perform well in that MP.
>>98915254As in rocket tag slop
>>98915261>rocket tag...What?Do you know what "Rocket Tag" means anon? Cause it's not "Weird puzzle game where you need to figure out all the enemies immunities before you can do damage"
>>98915255FT has the most basic anime setting how have you not acquainted yourself with it yet?
>>98915278>How have you not done something you haven't done?I don't really know how to answer this besides saying "By not doing it."
>>98915291Tbh you don't even need to do a little bit of research about the setting, it's so basic you can basically grasp everything about it in its lackluster CYOA.
>>98915272>Weird puzzle game where you need to figure out all the enemies immunities before you can do damageFunny how that doesn't apply to SCInstead it's a bunch of one shot abilities, a few counters, and then a bunch of irrelevant dogshit
>>98915344You're not very good at making builds are you anon? Every single "One Shot ability is countered by half a dozen techniques and a bunch of techniques make you strsight-up immune to shit.
>>98914567I mean I'm down with that. As in, with exactly what you said. Call a space station some sort of military frontier where there are tons of freelancers as well as conscripts working together to fight ungodly abominations. Do we need more specificity than that? I'm not good with names so I'll have to leave that to another anon. >Having both seems like a good way to have actual interactions.I will admit it does sound a bit restrictive having set teams as opposed to contextual alliances but I know some players do love to factionmaxx.
>>98912013Do it. We need more FT builds.
i just dont care about hunting monsters
>>98916143Nobody's stopping you from hunting other anon's builds. Become Build Hunter.
>>98915255>Crazy thing is I actually was very interested in SC but people stopped talking right after I started crafting.I also like SC, but I didn't make a build because by the time I could the thread already stopped talking about it. Out of all the sudden deaths of MPs this one was the most sudden. I would honestly play it if discussion started up again, but posting a build in this situation feels like it's doomed to fail.>I like SC, it's cool. I like SDA, it's cool. They both have their own merits.That's my point. What does it matter if it has less variety than SC when it's a different genre? They appeal to different tastes, you can like one or both or neither, they are different. And even stuff in the same genre can be different just because of the setting.> I would do FT but I just don't know enough about the verse to perform well in that MP.Just like worm, like 80% of people that play FT didn't actually watch FT. It's a pretty simple setting. I'm pretty sure like half of the people writing for this run openly said they didn't watch it.
>>98916148Builds can't die anon. But if you look at the Wavelenghts at the start there is specifically the PvP one, so if you want to be the guy that keeps picking fights with the rest of the cast the cyoa has that built in.
>>98915400>Do we need more specificity than that?Some anons do. I would say we need a bit more detail on the home base and a starting planet. After that we can come up with stuff as we go.> I'm not good with names so I'll have to leave that to another anon.As you can see I am horrible with names as well, but names aren't important. What we really need are enviroment, culture, population, threats, the stuff we actually interact with. So we can just come up with the concept and leave the naming to someone with a better naming sense.>I will admit it does sound a bit restrictive having set teams as opposed to contextual alliances but I know some players do love to factionmaxx.It's not like I really like the unit thing either. But it's less that anons love factions and more that anons tend to drift apart unless they are all in the same chesive group. Coming up with reasons for our whacky strange oddballs to interact is a lot easier if they are somewhat forced to, otherwise anons don't want to bother to come up with reasons. Contextual alliances can be fun, but anons don't want to come up with that context each time.
>>98916474>Builds can't die anon.I'll prove you wrong, but only if FT stays here for longer than expected, I'll give my build a gruesome death.
>>98916143None of the MPs we have are only about that. FT has criminal mages and even an evil guild. SC has a lot of factions and even if they are on the same side it doesn't mean they never fight. And Stardust has rogue riders and criminals taking advantage of the chaos. And all settings have crazy bastards that side with the monsters.
>>98916547Ok, that's not what I meant. I'll rephrase that. You can't kill another anon's build without consent. Of course you can kill your own build, but you can't hunt down the builds of other anons in a way that results in death unless the anon is ok with it. And anons are almost never ok with it, because why would they? If they lose the piece they can't play anymore.
>>98916567Just make another build?
>>98916570No, why should I? I like that one, I don't want to play with another caharacter.
>>98916570Did you go around as a kid breaking other kids toys and then telling them "just buy another one."?
>>98916570I sure do love going to the effort of crafting a fun build only to then be forced to do it again. Did you not see the people begging for reruns? They only had one good idea to start with, now you want them to do it a second time?
>>98916589>They only had one good idea to start withHave you ever heard of emotional investment? Creativity doesn't really matter when that comes into play. You can come up with endless and objectively creative builds, but they are all worthless if the person that made them doesn't care about them. And if you don't care about a build why would you care about the MP or stories it's part of?
>>98915006I doubt we will ever see all of them if the requirement is for them to write. If you lower the unlock condition to a certain level of interaction in the thread maybe they will unlock naturally, just maybe.
>>98916567I'm okay with anons non-consensually killing off my builds as long as it satisfies my f*tish of seeing them suffer, and I mean this in a non-edgy way! (If they only get off-screened I'm gonna lose my shit and write a response writefag killing off their build instead.) It also gives me a reason to slack off or create a more interesting build than the last.
>>98916608Consider that nerve touched. Why you freaking out man, afraid someone will kill your build?
>>98916633>I'm okay with anons non-consensually killing off my builds as long as it satisfies my f*tish of seeing them sufferI think this counts as implicit consent, and falls under the "almost" clause too. It's definitely not a universal rule and only applies to you.>(If they only get off-screened I'm gonna lose my shit and write a response writefag killing off their build instead.)And then get it declared non canon because they didn't consent to it. So you wated everyone's time, and your own.> It also gives me a reason to slack off or create a more interesting build than the last.This is the meat grinder DnD cmpaign mindset. Which doesn't generate interesting stories.
>>98916674Okay. That's like, your opinion man.
>>98916657>afraid someone will kill your build?Why would I care? I can just say it didn't happen and keep writing.
>>98916657And then anons wonder why nobody does anything anymore. Of course nothing happens, you keep pushing away all the invested anons.
>>98916633Weirdest take ever seen in these threads
>>98916686It's an opinion corroborated by facts.But if you don't believe me we can just test it. We make a run where everyone is explicitly allowed to kill everyone else, and see first of all who even joins, second who actually does something for it, and third who keeps going and makes more characters after the first one is killed.
>>98916704I knew ryona anon was here. What I didn't know is that he has a revenge kill switch.
>>98916718Trick question, no one joins anything for any reason and you know it
>>98916718I'm not trying to universalize my opinion on a thing and expect everybody to follow suit. I'm just saying I'm okay with it.
>>98916750Its just arrogant anon doing his thing again
>>98916798This sounds a lot more arrogant than what he said.
>>98916807>no u Every time.
>>98916813>it's all the same guyevery time
>>98916833Bait used to be believable. No one else cares about being poked except the guy who got poked.
>>98916836you poked more than one guy
>>98916844So you claim, fellow anonymous contributor.
>>98916697invested anons getting autistically locked in to only one kind of fun being allowed is how we got into this mess
>>98917046Those are not invested anons, the invested anons would actually do something.
>>98917051no, invested anons are terrified of people not doing what they've invested into, thus making them feel as though their time is under attack, and are thereby motivated to gatekeep endlessly
>>98916697Fear of interaction is what has been killing the MULTIPLAYER cyoa general in first place
So we doing anything or we just still complaining that no one is posting adventures while also not tolerating the presence of any said adventures?
>>98917134I'm having fun with FT
Are we not gonna talk about how one of Aldrich's bird mask is worn by Akhmun Seht on his crotch? What a fucking freak.
>>98917140ok but what happened first. Did Akhmun steal the mask from Aldrich's face and put it on his crotch, or did Aldrich steal the mask from Akhmun's crotch and put it on his face?
>>98917140They're roommates bro
>>98917191Idk, go ask their anons (they're not gonna answer because they're dumped builds.)
>>98917079>what did anon mean by this
>>98917079There is no reason to interact with people that treat you like this.
>>98911638>see cool space adventure>look inside>wizards casting spells because everything has to just be dungeons and dragons Goddammit.
>>98917342How can you interact with people who fear interaction and do not interact though
>>98907894I have a few scenes planned on my next writefag and one of them is Belladonna undergoing a mandatory routine jobbing to Megalo Fin. Who wants a free, hollow W? It can't be Helena because she'll be taking care of the defeated villain.
>>98917431Bro posting his hardcore fetish in our christian general
>>98917465mcyoag is pagan pilled albeit
>>98917468>pagans>constantly killing each other>achieving nothing>being overtaken by superior threads i mean nationsYep, checks out.
>>98917353Don't underestimate the pleasure of sci-fi fantasy. Plus the way I see it, the spells are more there to accentuate the other characteristics of a build with them only being a focal point if you choose.
>>98917897Yeah, but you get to that zone where theres so much chocolate in the peanut butter it starts to blend together, you know? Like, I enjoyed Mass Effect back in the day and it had all kinds of wizard spells, but it'd be nice to do something with a stronger delineation between the sci fi and the kung fu anime things. Maybe it's all academic but I like when the impossible feats are performed via impossible science rather than impossible willpower.
>>98918116>Yeah, but you get to that zone where theres so much chocolate in the peanut butter it starts to blend together, you know?Precisely! >I like when the impossible feats are performed via impossible science rather than impossible willpower.I feel like there's a deeply philosophical comment to make here about where the difference between those lies. Any how, while I do get the point, I think it's worth adding that the mana and spellcasting thing isn't really explained in origin. I kinda assumed that mana was just an energy and "spells" were just a way to manipulate it. That is to say mentally I flavored it to be impossible science, but I can understand why that would still be too outlandish to a someone more partial to sci-fi than fantasy.
>>98918157God's honest truth, if it wasnt for the guy who screeches about spaceships for whatever reason I'd be down to play it. Something not anime/eastern would be refreshing. Even with the magic spells. I get why having a dreadnought with 400,000 crew members isnt good for a multiplayer. It would be cool to have my own little Millenium Falcon frigate or whatever though to personalize.
>>98918176>if it wasnt for the guy who [ ]Old mcyoag didn't give a shit about this
>>98918204It just gets very tiresome being hounded across multiple threads. And as we've seen with the dwindling anon population, harassment works.
>>98918176>if it wasnt for the guy who screeches about spaceships for whatever reason I'd be down to play itWhy would that guy be a problem? Spaceships aren't even an option in the cyoa so it shouldn't trigger him.
>>98918218We have to be the most pussy ass general on the board.
>>98918252You can pretend that being insensitive is a good thing as much as you want, but it doesn't change the fact that anons are tired of the constant shitposting and insults, and that's making them leave.
>>98918252It is what it is man. And what it is is fewer anons.
>>98918251Well, what I was getting at is that I'd like to play the complete adventure in addition to the expansion so that I could have a small spaceship. Which would presumably trigger him.
>>98918252We're on course to be the *emptiest* general on the board, jackass.
>>98918269But it's not a complete adventure. This one is completely separate.
>>98918269Just get one. Be the designated pilot. That guy only cares about spaceship fights, as long as you don't start bombardind planets and plasma cannoning builds on foot he can't say anything.
>>98918279My bad, never mind then. It looked like an expansion pack.
>>98918323Does that mean you don't like it as a standalone? Or that you don't want a spaceship anymore?
>>98917431>It can't be Helena because she'll be taking care of the defeated villain.It'd be funnier if it was.
>>98917431You could go by process of elimination. Who hasn't beat her up yet? That would be Yen-ti, Lorus, and Laurie (on a technicality, she keeps being present but it's always someone else to beat Belladonna and rescue her) Leapold is not part of Megalo Fin.
>>98918457>>98917431with Laurie it could be Taurus beating her up instead, she hasn't shown up yet
>>98918400Being standalone doesn't bother me. I guess the simplest thing would be to say I'd like to do both of them rather than just the one? Have the dude from apocalypse and the spaceship from the other.
>>98907894Even in an entirely different world for an entirely different set of reasons, Marak is still retarded. How unfortunate.>NameMarak>OriginTribal>PerksPhysically FitUnique AppearanceTrue Magic (20)Archmage(17)>MagicsIron Dragon Slayer Magic (13)Iron God Slayer Magic(9>Magic LevelHigh Mage>GuildUndecided/Whoever wants him first ig, could be either>BiographyMarak was part of the rare first incarnation of Slayers that lived in the age when creatures as Dragons and Gods actually walked or flew across the earth, and one of the even rarer few to live long enough for the magic flowing through his body to fully transform him into something far beyond human. Now Marak travels aimlessly covered in the cloak of his metallic wings, a twisted embodiment of Iron, both draconic and divine. While his “transcendence” has granted him the unfathomable might of the beings whose blood he once bathed in, his very being has become noticeably and unsettingly inhuman to any “lucky” enough to lay their eyes upon his visage. Asides from his name, whether Marak was a noble hero or a ruthless monster has been lost both to history and his own memory. Older than most civilizations that he wanders into, Marak’s normally reclusive behavior that has hidden him from the spotlight of civilization has changed dramatically as more and more metal has been dug from the earth and repurposed in a new industrial age of “progress”. Now Marak’s more animalistic instincts are guiding him towards the scent of what could be perceived as nothing but a banquet of food set before him.
>>98919224wtf is going on in his faceclaimanyway good to see you again Marak anon
>>98917431Marak
>>98919386holy shameless
>>98919224I thought he was just a goofy drunk guy, wtf happened to him in this universe?
>>98919394sobriety...
>>98919389I've only posted the first art and the character bio. I reiterate the only thing I will be that shameless about is a DxD run.
>>98919466>giving a single word and no other reason or ideas in asking for a free feature in a writefag isn't shameless
>>98919475I think what he means is that he didn't post that.
>>98919489I DON'T BELIEVE HIMI MUST THROOOOOOOOOW SHIIIIIIIITTTT!!!!
>>98919224So he's a Dark Souls boss now? He and Lorus switched backstories.
>>98919224>Magic Level>High MageAnon, that's not how it works. Even if we assume you dumped all remaining unspent points into other magics you don't get to the High Mage power level. In fact with 17 points you don't even get to Wizard Saint. He's S-Class at most.
>>98919511Less Dark souls boss and more wandering caveman with a penchant for eating metal. I just got done re-watching Season 2 of Baki Hanma: Son of the Ogre before making the build so he's very inspired by Pickle lmao
>>98919525He said he's retarded, he's a bum who thinks he's a High Mage
>>98919530Wait, does that mean he's even more retarded than he used to be? Can he even speak?
>>98919555>even more retarded than he used to be?Yes and no. His intution and emotional intelligence is FAR better, likely even """genius""" level or far above average. But in terms of communication...good luck with that. >can he even speakhe can gesture and grunt. It's good enough.
>>98918457>Laurie & TaurusI'd rather Taurus's first appearance come from Laurieanon, it'd be more impactful that way, and I don't have much reference for Taurus's voice anyway.>LorusBelladonna's confrontation with Lorus will have to wait. Lorusanon is already planning it, so I'll leave their eventual face-off to him.>Yen-TiThis makes sense. Belladonna would be a peripheral annoyance to his single-minded pursuit, but being part of Megalo Fin means contributing to the guild driving off her sabotage and assassination attempts too.>>98919386>MarakMegalo Fin seems to be the festive type of guild that holds banquets often, so Marak could drop by now and then? Or maybe he's already a member, and his whole reason for being there is satiating his ravenous appetite. I can see Belladonna ruining one of their banquets, which would enrage Marak, an oversight on her part for not accounting an ancient being that's lived for centuries. Well, you can hardly blame her. Nobody expects an old entity of great power to just show up out of nowhere. But I don't know much of this version of him so I'm kind of hesitant, but we could discuss about this.
>>98919589>old entity of great powerWell he's only Strong so I'm sure she can beat his ass, it will at least be extreme diff
>>98919589While I didn't advocate for this, I might as well use this to explore a hypothetical (read: make some new shit up about the character on the spot.)I would say that nu-Marak isn't really prone to getting "enraged" like his other self. Old Marak had the mentality of a traumatized child, while this one much more emotionally detached from all the time he's been alive and his literal lack of humanity. Though from what I read she does use metal knives. So maybe he just sniffs out high quality metal on her, and Belladonna has no clue why suddenly the big ass metal gargoyle is coming at her.
>>98919618Anon, Belladonna is meant to suffer. She will never win.
>>98919636Okay, I'll include Marak in my next writefag then. How does he fight? What does he think of Belladonna if he's even capable of thinking at all?
>>98919671Ok then? thx ig>How does he fight?Against someone like Belladona? He's just gonna walk at her and try to yoink the knives and om nom nom, and if she runs then he'll just fly at her and do the same. If it takes a while then he might try to grapple her to get at the knives. Overall he's not gonna try to kill or even injure her unless she manages to get a stab in past his scales, and even then he's just gonna punch her real hard rather than any big boy magic.>What does he think of Belladonna if he's even capable of thinking at all?Asides from the knives, he's defo gonna smell all the blood on her, concluding that she's some sort of killer. Though that's just a curious observation, he won't really care all that much.As for his cognitive capacity? While he's not gonna have any long internal monologues, he is still well within human intellect. Anything he does say in his head would be short and straight to the point. "She's a killer." "She smells of blood." "Good Metal Knives." "She's not a threat"stuff like that.
>>98919698She always carries a large case packed with metallic weapons inside (pic rel) ignore the thighs. I guess that much concentrated metal would read like a glaring heat signature to him, he'd be drawn to it like a moth to a lamp. If Marak gets a feast on that Belladonna would be absolutely livid.
>>98915003>Less than half actually are chosen because the most picked spells can probably do their job betterIn general I really hate when cyoas force readers to choose things to the detriment of build variety. But this is only a bummer if you’re multiplayer.
>>98919772>ignore the thighs.Never!Also, what is the sauce? Google is retarded now.
>>98919792Pic rel is the sauce, the art's also in here >>98908071If you're curious where I got the faceclaim for this build, it's Maysia Kwo from Fate, I've also been using Mina Ha from Deadlock as well since they look alike.
