who do I need to kidnap to get good oc?
>>98924402Yourself.You are the only one who can make the OC you want to see.
Tok and Ball torture.
>>98924476Just wanted to give you all an update on the dragon army. I have finished my medium dragon now and only have 6 small dragons left. Then I'm back in business with Hentai Heroine!
>>98924485I'm too into maledom to buy into Hentai Heroine but I hope you enjoy it. I want to see a druid cyoa from you before runaway automated AI hacking destroys our internet.
>>98924548>into maledom I wish so many cyoa authors weren't submissive men. I'm so fucking tired of all cyoas, nsfw cyoas especially, being that way.
>>98924485I cant wait for the cyoa after hentai heroine!
troon heroine will flop. mark my words
>>98924563That'svwhat happens when you move a thread to /trash/ anon. That board is full of all the trannies and furries that were too insufferable for even the tranny and furry boards. There was no way that move was going to end well.
>>98924566It is a /trash/ cyoa. It won't even be posted here.
>>98924563I'm a dominant man and make cyoas, sometimes, but never a nsfw one. Maybe I should.
>>98924413Incorrect. I do not have the skill to make what I want
>>98924610If you do not have the skill, that means you need to practice. The first step to being good at something is being bad at something.
>>98924413but I want to see OC from someone else, you're all neets so you got the time
>>98924637Sure let me practice full time studying how to write interesting characters and lore, then taking several college courses on graphic design and finally analysing cyoag threadkiller meta topics to make the cyoa I want to see using the prescious time in my life making a single fucking cyoa
>>98924713Well no, you don't need all that to make a thread killer. You just need something interesting. Witches vs Vampires took over several threads and that ones very simple.
>>98924713>Sure let me practice full time studying how to write interesting characters and lore, then taking several college courses on graphic designWhy spend multiple years of time and money learning to write characters badly and how to make things look ugly and forced when you could just spend a year or less learning to write well and design things to look good instead?
>>98924713>practice full time studying how to write interesting characters and loreJust write stuff>taking several college courses on graphic designFancy design is nice but not really necessary. Text, boxes, and images are all you need.>analysing cyoag threadkiller meta topics to make the cyoa I want to seeThat would probably be sovless and not really what you wanted to make
>>98924769
>>98924769>blood moonperiod cyoa?
>>98924704Not all of us are NEETS. I work a full time job and take online classes.>>98924713>Sure let me practice full timeIt's not that intense. Picking up skills comes naturally if the passion is there.>how to write interesting characters and loreRead books, read manga, read arguments on imageboards, arguments from scholars centuries ago. You'll develop an intuitive feel for the give and take of characterization.>then taking several college courses on graphic design This is super simple. All you need to do is watch a couple of YouTube tutorials and find an image source that suits your tastes. Me I like pinterest but there's others out there.>finally analysing cyoag threadkiller meta topicsThis is the easiest thing. If you lurk here you're already aware of the things anons obsess over. Exploitable powers, youthful immortality, factional conflicts, etc.>to make the cyoa I want to seeYou'll never see the cyoa you want to see, just the cyoa that someone else wants to see. If you are lucky, your wants will overlap. If not, you'll stay disappointed. The only one who can make your perfect dream cyoa is you.>using the prescious time in my life making a single fucking cyoaWhat else are you using it for? Art is an outpouring of the soul, and cyoas are one of the last art forms that has a presence on /tg/. There are worse ways to spend dozens of afternoons and evenings than pursuing that feeling of exhilaration, satisfaction, and fulfillment that comes from posting a finished OC.
>>98924769Kinda crazy how mesmerism 5 + thrall 4 is actually the strongest build here but might 5 wank made it look inoffensive
>>98924811Thrall 4 is redundant here.
>>98924823Fair, I guess it should be mesmerism 5 + celerity 5Nothing defends against this, both witches and other vampires can be rewritten into your servants
>>98924831Celerity 5 is so other vamps can't copePerception too but countersight is an obvious enough buy I thought I didn't need to include it
>>98924811Nobody actually made a vampire build, so all the might 5 wank was pure shitposting with no actual interest.
>>98924779>Picking up skills comes naturally if the passion is there.This is core IMO. All creative types naturally do whatever happens to be their calling. The kind of person drawn to drawing (lol) will just fucken draw cool shit in their free time. The kind of person drawn to writing will write in their free time. The kind of person drawn to worldbuilding will do that in their free time. And you'll get better and better at it. Ballerinas are fucking autistically obsessed with ballet every waking moment of their lives. That kind of thing.If you need to force yourself to do it, IMO that's a good sign you probably shouldn't do it. Not always ofc.>>98924713>analysing cyoag threadkiller meta topics Unnecessary IMO. If your shit is good and you passionately believe that nobody else is making it like you need it to be made, others will recognise it.That said, it's acceptable to make concessions towards popularity if it fits with your vision. But don't try and predict trends or hop onto trends. It never works. What lights a thread on fire is stuff people couldn't have predicted.But what do I know really. I'm just a foreverWIP fuckhead. ARGHGHGHGHG
>>98924831Curses 5 and Enchanting 5 can counter it. Summoning can do everything, theoretically.Abjuration is most likely effective too, and if it is effective, it can turn your own trick against you at level 5.Because it requires eye contact, stealth options like Umbramancy and Glamour can be effective too. Might 5 just shatters your puny mindfuck with a flex or something.
>>98924348>Boons:Sturdy clothesMirrorGuidebook - Suitable clothes, I'm young again and reasonably fit, and I have good survival knowledge. My lack of a knife or similar may cause problems, but hopefully I can meet up with my companion before I need one and she can lend me one. Perhaps with my survival knowledge I can knap a flint hand-tool for cutting stuff?>Civilisation:Cabin in the woods - Don't need much in this regard, and since I'm taking the maximum number of extra challenges for extra perks I need to minimise the challenges this option forces on me.>Goal:Escape - Why would anyone ever want to stay here!?>Path:Winter - Starting fire is fairly simple, especially now that I have magically implanted survival knowledge; plus with my anti-cold perks and my rugged clothes I should be okay.>Perks:Dark traderMapBlanketIce caveCold bloodedBreath of the north - Magic blanket + cold blooded = no worries about freezing to death in my sleep. The ice cave should give me a steady supply of stuff to trade with the dark trader to get all the survival supplies I didn't take (e.g. snow-shoes, a good knife etc.). The map should help with my over-all goal of escaping, and my new-found ice magic powers will get more useful over time.>Companion:Aya - It was either her or the forest princess, and Aya apparently knows all the monsters' weaknesses. Since most of the challenges I chose are monsters I think Aya will be more useful overall.>Challenges:WendigoHorror of the pinesYuki OnnaMurder bearMegafauna - I intentionally chose challenges which are the most easily soluble through the judicious application of violence. Once the pine horror & the murder bear are dead then they're gone and (presumably) not coming back, and although the wendigo can re-spawn eventually it can be killed off temporarily. The yuki onnis can apparently be negotiated with, and the megafauna are just animals, and can be adjusted to as such.
>>98924885>Summoning can do everything, theoretically.Summoning 5 + Potions 5 + Glamoure 5 + Fae Summoning + Demonic Essence is probably the most optimsl witch combo.You can create multiple potions of Archdemon/Archfae essence to make yourself on par with almost anything in the setting.
>>98924971One of the most common tropes of potionmaking is side effects.Drinking WrathArchdemon + Lust Archdemon potion combo to become an unsyoppable shapeshifter will likely turn you into a creature that requires Rape to survive.
>>98925004There are worse things than rape
We need to see the cyoa fully to truly decide what is the most optimal. I don't have high hopes for Atavists, because we already know a lot of clan banes/power. But Lunatics are different, we don't know what Lunar Genesis is at all.
>>98924334I think AI artwork for CYOAs are viable TODAY. As long as you don't accept the default that the AI gives you and have it steal a style from a real artist.
>>98925110Watch the author add werewolves as a third faction that completely shitstomps vampires, but gets stomped by witches. The rock-paper-scissors game will be complete.
>>98924548>I'm too into maledom to buy into Hentai Heroine but I hope you enjoy itI sure will! >I want to see a druid cyoa from you before runaway automated AI hacking destroys our internet.It's either a Druid CYOA, Avatar CYOA (not likely since I might want to wait until all movies have been released), or a CYOA inspired by Vidja Valhalla. To be honest, I lean most towards the Vidja Valhalla CYOA , since the mechanics would be really fun to design. And the Druid CYOA would be too much like the Avatar CYOA, so I think I'm not gonna make both, it's one of them and I do love Avater, it's my favorite move. The other Avatar movies sucks dick but the first one is so good.>>98924564Which CYOA might that be?>>98924566Men of culture all around the world will celebrate it as the greatest lewd isekai CYOA.
>>98925134What exalty does it have to put it over all the other "be the rapebait" cyoas?
