>>78354911The Christianity Vow still doesn't work mechanically or thematically and needs to be replaced
>>78355306With the Jesus Patron.
I'll be real with ya, I don't even know what Tentacle Realm is about cause the title is an instant turnoff.
>>78355434Well of course you won't want to go to the tentacle realm if you hate tentacles.
>>78355434It's not super about anything. Mostly just minmaxing. Premise is you get isekaied to a fantasy world and there's lots of tentacles and fetish stuff there but also LitRPG nonsense and gods. Tentacles are not quite as central a theme as the title indicates, but there is a fair amount of tentacle fetish stuff.>>78355444He didn't specify, he might just hate realms
>>78355434All the gods of a fantasy realm got tentacle raped and coped so now the world is corrupted.
>>78354864Fun /his/ fact. Did you know Amazons were probably based off of Scythian women who lived along the northern coast of the Black Sea? Scythian women often rode horses and could fire bows which was seen as highly improper by the Greeks. They were also commonly buried with weapons of war just like men and could have very well been combatants. The Greek legends say they were from Anatolia however and made their way to Scythia. Which does not match archeologically. However the Scythians did invade Northeastern Anatolia during the Greek dark ages and could have entered legend that way.That said women in Scythian and related cultures was one of slightly greater significance then settled peoples. One fun fact is that according to more questionable history Cyrus II the founder of the Persian Empire was killed by the Massagetae queen Tomyris. Well not personally but she led the army that ended up killing him.
>>78354911>>78354975Updated Vessel, forgot I hadn't accounted for some points, woopsHad to take an extra curse, considering that I'm opening up my adventure with murdering a cultist, I figure realignment might fitWon't be that bad right? People still love pets and besides you can still see other sufficiently powerful people as equals just not regular people(Mad Queen still best patron)
>>78355434>I'll be real with ya, I don't even know what Tentacle Realm is about cause the title is an instant turnoffIsekai title combining elements of Rifts Atlantis and the Birthright D&D setting. The local elves managed to trigger the tentacle apocalypse, and the local gods are bringing in potential heroes and villains to defend their assets and screw each other over.Playable with a focus on either Corruption or Purity, there's a strong emphasid on mutation, biomancy, symbiotic life, and magic tattoos.
>>78355434there's a fair amount of non-tentacly stuff about itbut there's also a whole lot of tentacles if you go outside of human lands
>>78355554thank you /his/fag for bringing me trivia I neither want nor needat least it's more useful than the regular bickering
>>78355554Didn't the Scythians have horse archers? Which were the bane of the existence of for any army that didn't have horse archers for centuries if not millennia? Man fucking horse-archers are over powered bs, right up there with well drilled pike formations.
>>78355515>>78355802Sounds pretty sick.Would've been more amicable had it been called Corrupted Realm.And if I can become a zealous twink paladin who purges tentacles, that sounds pretty sick.Maybe later.
Building a MIE character, and found a solution that simplifies it enough that my brain doesn't blanche at the need to do the CYOA a second timeHave a central body template that's the main build, that both bodies share (with small differences based on male/female that can be noted on each choice) then have Alternate Form on the template, and just make a different alternate form for eachidk if it's actually simpler or more complicated than it needs to be, but it keeps my brain from shutting off and losing inspiration from the thought of needing to do the whole thing a second time for the same build
>>78355951the tentacles usually aren't what you need to worry about, it's the critters walking among them unmolestedthat or the parasitesbut yes full paladin mode is entirely possible
>>78355962MIE is just a ridiculous amount of homework I salute you for even attempting
>>78355520this, and don't forget if you want to fight corruption at all you're fundamentally opposed to the very world itself regardless of anything else
>>78356047my current problem is I had build inspiration for a Celestial, and they have a form of MIE built directly into the race, so I couldn't really avoid it
>>78356050Anon, don't be mad that someone pointed out you'd be fighting against the nice gods by trying to actively purge corruption. Especially when you weren't willing to describe how you're going to reconcile heroics with attacking The Charity Queen's tentacle followers.
>>78356050on the other hand, the world itself got corrupted which means there was a prior-state of being uncorruptedso that also means it's possible to change it's nature again to an uncorrupted form
>>78356115the ones that abduct people and imprison them in underground chambers for breeding purpose? those ones?
>>78355306I'm sure you could swap in Islam, Buddhism, Taoism . . .Actually a Taoist build would likely have a very unique view on the Tentacle Realm.
>>78355947They pretty much invented horse archery. That said they lacked several advantages their successors had so they were not quite the all out bane that horse archers would become centuries later. Still terrifying and dangerous.
>>78356146Not all tentacles.
>>78356191either they actively do or they support those that actively docheck the old bestiary, most tentacles are not nice
>>78356220Maybe, but the point is that you're going to be fighting all of them, including the nice ones. I don't need to restrict it to "The Charity Queen's tentacle followers" either, but most of them, human or not, since most are going to be at least a little corrupt. Or The Curious Oracle's, The Bountiful Lady's, and on.
>>78356285fighting corruption doesn't necessarily mean killing everything that's even the remotest bit corrupt thoughit can just mean trying to find a way to undo whatever messed up the realms
>>78356350They will fight against you though, because as was pointed out, you're violating their free will and their current nature. Who they currently are. What do you do then?
>>78356378I mean if their free will is being used to actively destroy the free will of people they keep imprisoned, you're violating someone's free will by not fighting them tooalso the average person won't go fight you because you're trying to root out corruption, the average person will think you're a hero
>>78356407>the free will of people they keep imprisonedThe point of this post >>78356285 is how it's not just that one cherry picked group, but a wide array of different people following different gods. Nobody following The Curious Oracle is keeping you in a breeding pit, but they're still Corrupt and won't like you violating their identity.>The average person...Your average person is a human member of The Dragon or Aurum Empires who worships The Fair Queen, The Wild Empress, or The Arrogant Star who thinks all other races are filth and trash that should be purged, let alone the innate Corruption most non-humans have. They're not a good moral compass to look at themselves, and highlight exactly what the problem with pinning morality to purity is.
>>78356487anon, the curious oracle is the god of the pink, which is utterly filled with tentacles that abduct peoplelike, even if some of them are decent, most of them still are very much not, the denizens of the pink are nearly all brainwashed mindbroken parasite slaveshalf the reason those empires are so hostile to outsiders is that everything out there is looking to kidnap and violate humans, most non-humans don't bother asking for things like consent the world is a messed up place, it's dangerous and it's understandable that some people want to change that
>>78356573>the curious oracle is the god of the pinkThat's The Charity Queen. You're mixing the deities up.>Half the reason those empires are so hostile...Is because they follow gods that tell them to be hostile. You're not going to appeal to the morality of The Arrogant Star followers who literally tell you that selflessness is a spook.
>>78356605oh right, sorrystill Fair Queen is all about order and rule of law, if you're pro-corruption you're also opposing her innately and with it order and rule of law there's also no real live and let be because the vast majority of corrupt creatures actively seek out innocents for the purpose of kidnapping them or infecting them or worse
>>78356650don't forget you're also innately opposing the Fair Queen if you're anti-corruption because the Tentacle Realm itself is corrupt meaning corruption is the order of the Tentacle Realm :^)
>>78356650>if you're pro-corruption you're also opposing her innately and with it order and rule of lawI don't have an issue opposing the goddess who is literally responsible for everything being Corrupt who in her short-sighted arrogance and favoritism ruined everything, and is now currently and righteously imprisoned for her crimes.>The vast majority of corrupt creatures...You know this label applies to every x-kin and most of them live fairly normal lives, some even having civilized kingdoms the humans keep trying to destroy? You seem to be mixing up "The majority of corrupt animals" with "The majority of corrupt people." Yeah every corrupt animal is pretty unrestrained about wanting to fuck you, but corrupt people are still people, by and large, just more sexual.
>>78356695her tenets are literally "don't be corrupted"don't be an idiot anon, she was around before the corruption spread and she absolutely would want things to go back to the way they were
>>78356724That smiley at the end should make it clear he's trying to mock me because he's upset at a joke from last thread, anon. My reply is >>78356716
>>78356716>You know this label applies to every x-kin and most of them live fairly normal livesRead the bestiary again, most x-kin go around raping humans as like, their cultureThe difference is between herbivores, who can somewhat restrain themselves, and carnivores who literally cannot
>>78356745Read the location guide, especially the Tyrept Empire. If you read the Carnivore Beastmen entry above it, it tells you that only a few are known to attack humans, and then goes on to list specific racial tribes that are frequently allied to human groups, like the Wolf and Pig Tribes who apparently outright allied with human groups, and then it lists a bunch more who are wary of and AVOID humans.
>>78356695Her tenets say to follow the law if the law is just. Considering she is clearly the one who decides what she means by just, and she is opposed to corruption.>>78356724>her tenets are literally "don't be corrupted"No they aren't.>Treat everyone fairly.>Never lie, steal, or cheat.>Obey the law, so long as the law is just.>Death is sacred, Undeath is immoral and blasphemous.Not a word about corruption. Her favor only works if you aren't corrupt, and one of her boons only works so long as you aren't corrupt. However by having those conditions it suggests you can be corrupt and maintain her favor, and that boon, they just don't do anything while you remain corrupt, but should start functioning again if you are purified. Such as by using her Cleanse champion power.
>>78356827>she is clearly the one who decides what she means by justTrusting her judgment is pretty spurious considering what happened when she was in charge.
>>78355306It's funny tho
>>78356939well she is busy atoning for it, like her entire thing is that she's not even trying to escape imprisonment until she feels she has atoned for everything bad she did
>>78355306Right, it should be replaced with a buddhism vow where you will teach the people of the realm to give up their worldly desires and achieve nirvana.
>>78357013>until she feels she has atoned for everything bad she didShe shouldn't be allowed to judge when she's atoned enough.
>>78356156>>78357014the point is the existing Vow doesn't work for mechanical reasons as well as thematic reasons - Vows have a Patron Bonus as the answer to Curse Synergy, which means a Vow requiring no Patron either doesn't give enough or condenses too much into a single choicenot to mention where every other Vow has a mechanical effect for being broken based directly on the in-universe world, Christianity only has a thematic effect vaguely based on the IRL religion
>>78355306What, the concept of a devout christian (TM) getting sent to a pit of sin and debauchery not being thematically fitting?
>>78354911I've... I've done it. I finished the 12 build for my MIE build. It's a bit sparce of write-faggotry. I might have forgotten to specify how me {Elemental} Aspect manifests in a few spots. And I've not made my companion(s) yet. But my builds for my instances is done.Have some AI slop to approximate my primary build then look ye might and despair.https://rentry.org/3qivnu8r
>>78357254Shinto vow then where you vow to honor the spirits of the land and the elementals.
>>78357399good god that's a lotta build, will give it a look over tomorrow because late but I still applaud you
>>78357513Admittedly a fair bit of it is copy-pasta, though there was some attempt to give each a bit for thematic flair.
>>78357273What doesn't work is the concept of a Satanic Panic type who just got sent to a pit of sin and debauchery deciding the obvious course of action is preaching the salvation of Man to the very demons of Hell, and that's not even getting into the rest of the contradictions
>>78357638???
>>78357638You need to calm down.
>>78357638Anon, people are going to perceive you as either a Christard on the furry fetish board who somehow can't handle blasphemy, or an atheist who can't handle a Christard option in the CYOA even if it's there to be a joke. In either case, you're perceived as an oversensitive baby to make fun of.
>>78354911Does anyone know what exactly a size category is? Is each category double/half size, ten times / one tenth? I saw that each size category is a strength tier, but I can't find anything in the CYOA that clarifies the details.
>>78355692How are you guys making these build images? Is there a template?
>>78357875That just illustrates my point, nobody here would even want or need a Christianity option unless they're an insufferable Christian or an insufferable atheist
>>78358121Nobody would care that it's there unless they're an insufferable Christian or an insufferable Atheist. Otherwise it's just another option you don't personally care to pick, like having a dirty anus.
>>78358039Excel, then stick an image somewhere.
>>78358039that one is purely a fancied up open office sheet, not even excel
you guys have any short waifu pickers?
>>78355962>>78356047as it turns out, it's actually just as if not significantly more complex because you have to track point values for your universal build (as a baseline for the others), the base form, the male form, and the female formunfortunately, it is now stuck in my head as too cool of an idea to trash just because it's too much workthough honestly now I'm more dreading how I'm going to translate this into a parse-able image build
>>78358276QT Mage GF
>>78354911I've been pretending that MIE doesn't exist because I can't be bothered to make 12 builds, but thinking more about it, if they are all of the same race and have more or less the same mutations, the workload is reduced by 90%.12 Nephilim... 12 shards of divinity... If they are fused into one... Apotheosis.
>>78358585>if they are all of the same race and have more or less the same mutations, the workload is reduced by 90%.but using MIE like that is kinda lame
i can see tentacle realm being made into coc3
>>78358947With how dogshit CoC2 is I can only imagine how bad CoC3 would be.>Your character doesn't matter at all, he/she is no hero, but the real hero's toady!>ALL the girls cuck you with him, they don't like you!>The only sex you can have is bottoming for futas!
>>78358979Apo hates futas though, so you'd only get tentacle raped by futas between watching the main character fuck all the regular girls
>>78359061Pretty sure the point is that TR can't be anything like CoC because CoC is shitty and TR is better than it.
>>78358276Warrior
>>78356047Well you don't NEED to make a build for them
>>78358942The alternative is not using it at all, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
>>78358276>any short waifu pickers?The classic of course.
>>78359813That one aint short if you include all the content they made.
>>78354911What vows do people think are one offs in terms of accomplishing them? Some are described as perpetual and will constantly reapply the penalty, others once you violate you lose the vow and its benefit but still lose the corruption anyways, and then there are some which have a specific goal. Extermination seems the most straightforward of the bunch even if extremely hard to achieve practically speaking. Vengeance could potentially be a reoccurring thing if you do not have an initial grudge to settle, but otherwise it is fine once you avenge that specific person. Then there is glory which has a reoccurring penalty, but it technically only requires you to die a glorious death. The fact that there are multiple resurrection methods could mean that you can actually fulfill that requirement without remaining dead making it viable to complete.
>>78358276>only 2 virgins, both with major downsidesI'll pass.
>>78358276one of my favorites
>>78359934Christianity is just free if you're already a non-believer because the only penalty hinges on the belief
>>78360476Wouldn't christianity be free if you ARE a believer?
>>78360476Not quite. If you pick it, it makes God real. Do you really want to be cut off from His divine light?
Speaking of choices that become real inside of the Realm if you pick them, do you think Apo is addding new world modifiers to Part 4? (Or was it in Part 3?).What new mods do you want to see? Personally I wanna see technology mods like making the realm into Bronze Age or Cyberpunk
>>78360996Modifiers that switch the dominant race. Imagine a Tentacle Realm actually ruled by Tentaclekin and their relatives.
Was also ask at >>78360996 which mod from the previous version is your favorite, with pic-related being mine but I accidentaly cut off that part of my post lol
>>78360996>The new Save Crystal effectively renders you immune to the second option >But not Companions since they don't get Save Crystals of their ownMore reason for me forming a Hive Mind party honestly, but what would be the ideal number of party members? I'm thinking of four or five right now?
>>783612534-6 and no more than 8 is the classic D&D/JRPG party size.
Dumb powerscaling question but how powerful are the Patrons anyways?
>>78354975Did anyone ever share their spreadsheet template?
>>78361253My solution was to take the multi-doppelganger power so you can have 100 people and then have gemini so you double it on top of that. If you want to mess with splitting your soul there are the mutations to stack cloning with even further.
>>78354911Neither Watcher not Gazer get Scrying as a Power for free or under discount? Weird.
>>78361288god level? The entire cyoa is a whim of one of the gods, they can just go trough divine immunities if they wanted to, pretty much reality warping with whatever the fuck they want unless stopped by another god. Like this is the description of an avatar of a god, not even a full on god just a puppet they are using.
>>78361288capable of casual reality warping on a planetry scale at minimum kept only in check by other gods under the MAD doctrine
>>78354911Lets say I am a Seraph, if I chose Nephilim does its Patron overwrite rule means I lose access to the ability to chose a Champion Power from the Arrogant star or do I keep it?
>>78362279>>78362312Why its so hard for them to mess with Tattoos/Seals then? It feels like this should be child's play for then
>>78362332they can, most of the rules in the cyoa don't really apply to them, they can pretty much bypass anything
>>78361288Yes.Good luck managing to leverage that from your position.
>>78362332read the top of page 28
>>78362422Oh I see, I assume if one apllies a tattoo to you only other god would have trouble removing it then I guess>>78362463What? Managing to leverage what exactly?>>78362482Ah my bad
Make sure to get a signed consent form before you ingest someone into a tentacle fuck stomach to violate their every hole for 2 days straightIt's rude to just assume off body language.
>>78362717Two days? I got Devour, that person isn't coming out, ever
>>78362740what does that do again?
>>78363028absorbs the soul of who or whatever you've eaten, killing them permanently

>>78363315mutation 23
>>78363358I'm a blind fuckwit. Thanks, anon
>>78362740well unless they have oversoul in another body or some other phylactery stuff where the soul isn't in their body
>>78363068>"You absorb the souls of the creature you eat"While digestion and permanent destruction of the souls is probably the proper interpretion, could this still allow the soul to be preservad inside your body at least partially? Some anon were asking some time ago about options to trap the mind of his prey inside his own bodyparts
>>78363386I think the soul is preserved fully as the soul is specifically said to be absorbed by the devourer not destroyed, besides its unlikely that the gods would allow soul destruction considering they collect them in the afterlife, I think the soul is probably indestructible and you can probably get your buddy out for revival if you somehow find a way too free them out of the devourer.

>>78357399main build is fairly unique looking but I think you might get away with a regal enough look that people will actually want to follow you rather than "burn the witch" mode? the others seems fairly specialized, except for the "regular" human envoy, couple of unique combos among them and honestly seems like you might be responsible for a fair amount of build combos nobody else hasHaven't seen any other jinn yetbig question is I suppose, how will you make sure to coordinate things properly? And I suppose singleplayer makes a lot of sense for a lv 1 build
>>78362740That's rude and mean. Being a vorebeast doesnt necessitate that nastiness
Has btganon been blocked by Britain?Second question, has anything released since Tim's last cyoa?
>>78363834>main build is fairly unique looking but I think you might get away with a regal enough look that people will actually want to follow you rather than "burn the witch" mode?It probably helps I plan to make my home primarily in the Dragon Empire where dragons and especially dragonewts are highly regarded to begin with. So I might be a bit divisive but I think the things will tend to swing in my favor within the D.E.Some of the other bodies might not "fit-in" as well there so I'm considering having them go to other more hospitable locals, like the Tyrept Empire or the Relvos Kingdom.>the others seems fairly specialized, except for the "regular" human envoy, couple of unique combos among them and honestly seems like you might be responsible for a fair amount of build combos nobody else has>Haven't seen any other jinn yetThank you. I tried to make the different builds interesting and somewhat unique.>big question is I suppose, how will you make sure to coordinate things properly?Hmm, if you mean controlling all my bodies at the same time then I plan to keep my Hive Mind connection dialed down most of the time. Each mind is controlling its own body mostly independently and mostly sharing memories with only a dim awareness of what the others are currently doing/experiencing.If you mean coordinating plans then everybody having Mastermind, 10/12 having Tactical Expertise and 3/12 having perfect memory should make keeping track of things easy enough.>And I suppose singleplayer makes a lot of sense for a lv 1 buildLv. 1 with the Rebirth scenario. Really weak to start with. Going to be highly dependent on my companion(s) to mentor me.
>>78357638I'm not sure I understand. In the eyes of a devout Christian, who would need preaching to MORE than tentacle monsters and the Damned? The New Testament has an analogy to medicine - sick people need doctors more than healthy ones - and some Christian sects believe that Jesus himself visited Hell to rescue particularly worthy souls. A Christian iseksi going crusading missionary in the Tentacle Realm is EXACTLY in that vein.And such a Vow would be just as much a psychological anchoring tool as a commitment to pursue knowledge/justice/the good of others/penance. So it makes sense that it would help with Corruption.
>>78364028I think BTG is still around. Last big OC (I think) was the update to KoboldAnon's eponymous cyoa, although Mech Gitls Fighting Demons came out around the same time.
>>78355951>if I can become a zealous twink paladin who purges tentacles, that sounds pretty sick.You're probably looking at the Fair Queen, Arrogant Star, or Silent Moon as patron deities. But yeah, that's a perfectly viable build.
>>78364133Shouldn't be moon. A Silent Moon paladin should be more Oath of Redemption, the other two would easily be more Oath of Vengence. She's literally the god of Redemption and Forgiveness. Though the +300 point bonus for taking the Vow of Judgement really does conflict with that.
>>78364028I have to write my posts on the side of a football and punt them across the Irish sea now. It's the only way I can get them through to you.
Most of the way through powers, I think. I wish I was unemployed, achieving anything in life is completely worthless. Hopefully my build doesn't suck completely!
>>78364254don't worry about that, as long as you're happy with it, it's a good build
>>78364104Ah nice, was wondering if we were ever going to get the yuri vamp he teased (we sitll might not)Hm, don't think I've seen either of those, I should go look through the previous threads then.>>78364213Damn, this is a tragic state. I thank whatever brave frog has transcribed your footy scribbles for me to see.
>>78364307>if we were ever going to get the yuri vamp he teased (we sitll might not)It's just very big; my longest CYOA by a considerable margin. It's got all the Your Proper Place waifu building and story beat selection with an expansive powers section on top. It's going to take a while, especially because I keep getting distracted and taking breaks to make shorter OC while doing it. Speaking of which, the succubus nun thing just needs a day or two to finish off and will land whenever I'm next not being distracted by video games.
>>78364346Oh, quite grand then. I'll continue to look forwards to it. That other one you mentioned should be pretty grand too. Your shorter works are still quite nice after all. Very much enjoyed the egyptian themed one.
>>78364346>nun succIsn't that the one where you are cursed to never orgasm ever again? Can't say I am thrilled about this kind of OC
>>78364418I've made far too many nice CYOAs lately. I'm allowed to make a miserable bad end one just for me now and again as a treat.
>>78359934>vows do people think are one offs in terms of accomplishing themPenance would be finishable.If you are undead or immortal, the various companion ones would have an end point (companion's death by old age)Accord - cutting your heart out - is finishableGlory is technically completable . . .although you'd be too dead to appreciate it.Most of the Vows become moot if every intelligent being in the Tentacle Realm were to die. The gods - not to mention the inhabitants - would probably oppose that, though.
>>78362322You can't choose the Arrogant Star as a Nephilim, and you choose a power 'from your patron'. So as written it looks like you lose it. There's some argument about that interpretation though.
Wonder what happened to Alistair's latest genie gallery plans...
>>78354911How come the cyoa with tentacle gods don't have a tentacle monster + angel combo?
>>78364254konata is peak performance
>>78364576Figured why bother? Anons are going to say it's shit anyway regardless of if it actually is or not. Besides the thread is plenty busy with Tentacle Realms discussion, no need to give it any extra push.
>>78364755?
>>78354911>Vice- Versa>Affected in the opposite way that you normally wouldSoooo, should I rework the description of the choice to be its opposite? Like Forbidden Knowledge grants me the bottom boon and the Demi-God that will eventually erupt from my skull will be my loyal to me? Insanity becomes enlightenment? I feel like the option exist so people can pick vows or curses regardless of how pure or corrupt their build is, but it feels highly abusable the way I'm looking at it now.
>>78364905Anon, it only reverse the corruption points... Thats its sole purpose
>>78364942Cool.
>>78364905>I feel like the option exist so people can pick vows or curses regardless of how pure or corrupt their build isThat would be correct
>>78359852Sure, but also each page is meant both to be a standalone and part of a larger "whole."
Off-topic but new tentacle pit doujin just droppedhttps://e-hentai.org/g/3561802/be2bbcadfb/
>>78365276>inb4 it gets snitched like the last one posted here
>>78364810Well I wasn't very nice to the last genie maker, so it's obvious what's going to happen if I make that anthro genie. I'm an asshole, not an idiot. So my choice is spending 3 hours doing something I enjoy but get rewarded with jeering and heckling, or spend those 3 hours doing something else I enjoy and don't have to hear anything from anyone. I know which one I prefer.
>>78359813Heir's Coin or Breeding Contract to got with the King's Crown and the Human & Goblin Princess ?
>>78365517Why not both?>4+1 free dowry>2 Princesses>Breeding Contract for free>King's Crown>Heir's Coin
>>78354911>>78357399So I did some number crunching on my build(s) and figured out it my Artificial Oversoul would have a combined Energy/Mana pool of ~7,140. It would also be capable of absorbing all 14 types of elemental energy.
>>78365645prior to any levels that's pretty damn massive
>>78365421:<
>>78365684Yeah, now the real question is, once I start taking levels in classes does the Artificial Oversoul's pool grow in proportion? Because if so it could end up with a pool size in the tens of thousands.
>>78365748oh and remember if you have a mana pool that large, get the battlemage classit lets you spend mana as if it were stamina
>>78354911advertisement is really out of place among all the other vows
>>78358276>fox gfthere are no downsides
>>78365791That would be absolutely hilarious. Though I'm also considering making some form of fly fortress/battleship and putting my Artificial Oversoul in the middle of its power grind and saying "this is the main power source" and refusing to elaborate what it is, how it works or where I got it.
>>78365721Oh don't give me that frown. It's unavoidable that CYOAs by a recognizable author get judged in part on the author instead of the content. If you see a CYOA by Tim, BtG, Tok, or whatever other name that's recognized you're already judging the CYOA before you've even read a single line of actual content. Names mean association, which means expectations and pre-conceived notions. Frankly I've been using that "Alistair" handle for far too long anyway. Probably have to swtch up fonts again and give the archive anon a different handle next time I make a genie. In my eyes stories and CYOAs should stand completely apart from their creators.
It's so funny seeing big, cool CYOA when all I want is one about making boobs bigger in creative and otherwise-unintuitive ways.
>>78366008honestly i barely care about your name i am :< ing because stuff dying on the branch
>>78366026>>78366026Join our tentacle realm cul- club, we have:>Fun bags, Bountiful Bust, Perma-perky and Milky Tanks mutations for breast expansion enthusiasts>Fleshweaving power that allows for more boobage>Asset Tattoo for even more extra growthAnd probably even more if you are creative enough
>>78366035Ha, if I got a dollar for every idea I've had I decided against making I'd be a millionaire by now. That's the nature of creativity: 99% of ideas never make it to fruition.
>>78366275That won't stop my impotent :< ing
>>78365889When *doesn't* an advertisement look out of place? :^)
>>78366179I get it, I do, but that's more "a few big boob options/effects" tacked onto an otherwise-massive project that came about as a side effect of trying to cover all the bases (with good intentions, rather than mass appeal, that project is impressive).But like.. eh. I guess.
>>78362717Anon, at my level of mind rape, their feelings going in are irrelevant, because their feelings coming out are going to be raw devotion.
>>78366026Let me guess... yuri and btg cyoas enthusiast? A neptunia fan perharps?
>>78354911Can you take an Artificial Oversoul in every Instance? What happens if you do?
>>78365944You'll die someday and leave her all alone. That's why the only choices are mage and mermaid, because those are the only ones that MIGHT make you immortal, depending on how magic and mermaids work here.
>>78366670What? No, the description makes very clear that its ONE oversoul being hold by one of your clones
ngl Artificial Oversoul feels kind of pointless when Save Crystals are a thing, there is no rule saying only the Main Body can have one so why bother with a magic battery that paints a huge "HEEEEY, TASTY ENERGY SOURCE HERE, ATTACK ME!!!" target on your back just for protecting your clones from perma-death when Save Crystals already do that for free and without the drawbacks?
>>78366634No, yes (but not the ones where you have to be a girl), not even a little.
>>78366762It's another layer of protection.
>>78365626I forgot the first free one didn't take a slot.
>>78354911I wonder if the no-aging from Eternal Youth has negative synergy with Elemental's power growth through aging? Or if it just stops normal aging (not that you do as an Elemental, but maybe you wanted to pick the option for other reasons) and not the Elemental growth process.
>>78366812Oh sorry I thought you were a certain someone
>>78366959Speaking of which, he made a cyoa a few months ago didn't he? Can someone post it please?
>>78366983Have this template as advanced payment
Remember when interactive cyoas meant something else?

>>78367151
>>78366762>Tasty magical energy source = Valuable thing = Destruction is ill advisedIn a way it is life insurance in more ways than one
>>78367228That assumes the thing attacking you is an intelligent being and not just some uber-powerful tentacle-dragon who eats magic.
>>78367252>tentacle-dragonMan... Now I wish the cyoa let us go Chtonian Dragon/newtlord
>>78367333more combos in generalthere's still transformations who's only combo is with succubus
>>78367252Not saving food for later is bad for self-preservation
>>78367470Some animals eat as much as they can at the time because they don't know when their next meal will be. Storing food isn't a universal strategy, especially with carnivores (since meat rots much faster.)
>>78364086That would heavily depend on specific theology, it's either righteous and just or outright blasphemous.As for the Vow being a psychological anchor against Corruption, that interpretation is lax enough to allow for other religions or even Christian sects which wouldn't preclude following a Patron.
>>78354911>Error: Image resolution is too large.Second build is (mostly) done! Time to get something to eat, sing a song, and Relax!It could still probably use some extra tweaking and commentary (I rushed through a lot of the powers/classes towards the end and the formatting is a bit awkward due to 4chan resolution limits), but I don't know how much time I'll actually have to mess around with this more in the immediate future.
>>78368221>Image resolution is too largeI think the site is calling you fattie
>>78354911Can't really decide if I should take Corrupt Manifestation as a curse or not
>>78366762It depends. Does save crystal immediately activate when any instance of a MIE dies, or does it wait until they all die?If it activates when any dies that could actually get very annoying in single player when you might otherwise be able to accomplish a goal by sacrificing one of your bodies and then reviving it later.If it doesn't activate until all instances die then it's a way to consistently and freely resurrect instances.
>>78366959Don't worry, I get that a lot.
>>78368221well, that's horrifying
Encroached Realms status: Currently 43 pages long but races are taking for fucking ever because they're a big involved to make and it turns out after the first 10-15 or so it becomes boring af to do the nitty gritty of the mechanics for them
>>78368725Now you know why all the succubus combos in TR are almost entirely copy-pastes.
>>78368221>9805 corruptionI think you hold the highscore for now slime queen/shoggoth is a neat combo thoughthat being said, don't mind me but I'm going to keep a healthy distance to avoid falling victim to her particular fetish, or at least only approach if I'm sure I can withstand the mental effects and the mutation effects
>>78369002my current build is sitting at around 11600 corruption, with the potential to go much higher with incoming revisions.
>>78369368(those revisions being about Alternate Forms and maybe, just maybe, goig the multi-body route)
>>78369368phew, and here I was thinking 5400 corruption was high that already felt excessive
>>78369449Nah, I finished at 6K and I'm not even particularly mutated. Doing my writefagging now and then I guess generating an image.
>>78369368>11600I wanna see that build now
>>78360996>>78361054Favorite mod is E2, the one that makes tentacles more accepted, I wanna see in the next version the same thing as>>78361053 since you already can do something almost like that for Monsters and Parasites in the BestiaryAlso, not a world modifier exactly but I wanna our personal home (tentacle pit) building section to have a option to make it mobile.Like a living giant creature that doubles as a trailer or mobile fortress you can live inside
>>78369509>then I guess generating an image...Or not. I can't find anything that's able to actually manage 6 eyes, or opalescent skin. Damn you, Valkilim!
okay so reading elf again, as long as you don't take any mutations which increase your corruption, you should maintain your corruption immunity and lifespanthis kind of makes the arrogant star virtually mandatory doesn't it?
>>78369882>ValkilimValkyrie Lilim? Weird, a robot succubus doesn't sound like something ai would have trouble generatingAre you using some hosted service like Perchance and Civitai or are you running it locally?
>>78369882if you think valkarie-lilim is hard, try Chthonian-Gazer. there is no AI model that can handle that without layering and multiple lora's.
>>78370406find an art style of someone who does hot eldritch abominations?
>>78370459it would still require combining multiple works to even get close to what I'm after, assuming that there isn't something close enough burred in the absolute depths of the internet, anyways.
>>78369982that's exactly right, and it's been a problem for as long as I remember
>>78370016Valkyrie/Nephilim. Running it on a hosted service because this laptop is already years out of date and could not handle generation.The real problem I'm running into is that I took 6 eyes, and kept the described skin color for Nephilim. I can't get either of them to stick - most services seem to read 'iridescent' as 'grainy thermal paste', and the extra eyes are showing up anywhere but on the face, when they bother to render at all.>>78370406Yeah, I think I'm going to have to take this in stages. Kinda funny that tentacle realm of all things is what might get me to learn how to do any kind of AI generation.
>>78371265try iridescent multicolored
>>78367784>As for the Vow being a psychological anchor against Corruption, that interpretation is lax enough to allow for other religions Not the author, but I don't have a problem with that.>or even Christian sects which wouldn't preclude following a Patron.That I have an issue with. The other Vows are almost all lifelong requirements that are almost impossible to achieve. Learn everything possible. Befriend everyone in the Tentacle Realm. The ones that aren't are either crazy dramatic - cut your own heart out - or put you at the mercy of another, possibly for centuries. Bringing a religion to the Tentacle Realm that grants no power, and pisses off the entire pantheon, would fit comfortably in with the first group. Trying to cheese it, by oh, saying that this or that god is actually a representative of Jehovah/Yahweh, seems like more a manifestation of the Corruption of the religion.
>>78371975befriend isn't a compulsion to befriend everyone in the realm, but rather a compulsion to befriend everyone who wants to be your friendit's a lot laxer than knowledge so basically, you need to put up with that one annoying fan who wants to hang out with you and treat them as a friend like all your actual friends, but you have zero obligation to befriend the demon trying to rape you
>>78369982No, the mutations don't give real corruption. The only way of gaining corruption out the gate is through the races.
>>78372163definitely will need to ask Apo about that because that feels wrong it definitely would give my build a bunch of extra points but still feels just wrongwill try to build without, then if it turns out Apo says you can take some corruption from mutations I'll give myself some goodies
>>78372286Apo is an idiot who named the second type of points corruption despite it having nothing to do with real corruption. Fake corruption is purple. Real corruption is blue.
>>78372356But the true elf description specifically calls out mutations which give a point bonus as exceptions, which doesn't make any sense... It's a real mess.
>>78372356None of them are blue
APOOOOOOOOOOO
>>78372356>>78372440The meter corruption is colored a low saturation blue-violet which depending on the display settings/type, distribution of cone cells, and how your brain interprets signals could look blue-ish to some people. But I do believe it'd look more purple-ish to most people.
>>78371975>Trying to cheese it, by oh, saying that this or that god is actually a representative of Jehovah/YahwehThat's not the argument here, and that wasn't even suggested. Mormons believe themselves to be Christian as much as any other even though Catholics decry them as a cult, so there's bound to be a sect out there that fully believes there'd be nothing wrong with serving a Patron in the Tentacle Realm regardless of where they're from or what they represent, not to mention how some of the other religions don't even run into that problem.You're also wrong about how Vows work, since it's nowhere near impossible to just tell the fucking truth or shut the fuck up.
>>78372286Read the FAQ.
>>78372625Pretty simple to argue that patrons aren't gods, just extremely powerful entities, and by that measure there's nothing inherently unchristian about serving them or otherwise treating with them, other than any specific immorality about a particular patron or its demands that is.
>>78372421I'm 99% sure he used the wrong color by accident in the Elf description. The Human one uses the correct color Corruption with almost exactly the same text, but there are a large number of instances of the meter-corruption color in the race texts so he probably just copied the wrong one.
>>78372625The Honesty vow is pretty bad. It requires you to "tell the complete truth" or not speak at all, but at the same time you can't lie by omission either, which could be interpreted as requiring you to speak. That's without even getting into what is "the complete truth" (there's a joke that it requires starting at the beginning... of the universe).The Vow goes SOO much farther than the Truthful curse. The curse is reasonable, the Vow isn't.
>>78373223>could be interpretedInterpret it differently.
>>78372995it's not that obvious since it mentions mutations that give corruption except there are no mutations that actually give corruption unless it's talking about corruption points that's why this is so confusing
>>78373117Yeah, it makes more sense like this. So >>78369982 is right.
>>78373339Autism does make life difficult doesn't it?
>>78373378fuck off normalfagif you don't have autism you're not welcome here
>>78373378anon look at >>78373368There's multiple ways to interpret it, either way Apo made a woopsy, either he forgot there's no mutations that grant dark purple corruption and it's superfluous, or else he used the wrong color of corruption if anything your inability to see how something might be confusing for other people is the real autism diagnosis
>>78373339Honestly, I think Apo just fucked up and accidentally used the wrong color coding on the second instance of the word corruption. He should have used the purple color (#9205f0) instead of the lavender one (#8D7CC2).Whatever, it's fucked now.
>>78373474Only one interpretation makes sense using the context and understanding the rest of the CYOA.
>>78373587it really doesn't make sense either waydoubly so considering the text on human is very similar but uses the other color Again, next time Apo is here can simply ask
Is Tentacle Realm colorblind friendly?
>>78373623No, it makes plenty of sense for him to fuck up the color once in the CYOA, far more than for the text to refer to a mechanic that does not exist. This is what makes it obvious you have autism, you have very literalist thinking that breaks down when the context requires you to make a logical leap, like "The author was mistaken" rather than "The author is referring to something that never existed."
>>78373658To be fair anon assumed the right way at first and got gaslit by people telling him otherwise.
>>78373658okay what the hell are you even doing here anyways, my initial interpretation was in fact that elves couldn't take corruption increasing mutations so my initial interpretation is literally the same as yoursSo you're agreeing with me, but chose to somehow interpret me as not agreeing with you, and then get all combative against meseriously, that's some grade A autism on your part
>>78373712I disagree that it's confusing to anyone who isn't autistic.
okay possible loophole of sortsIf you're going for a protector hero sort of type Taking the kindness vow and then because it's so strict immediately breaking it so you're intentionally afflicted with Lurenow enemies have a divinely ordained preference to target you over the people you're trying to protect
speaking of vows that aren't the worstthe guidance/protection one genuinely is quite tolerable because there's a very real time limit on it if your companion is a human and since you can design your companion, you can just make them into a kind person with a goal that's genuinely worth trying to achieve if your lifespan is ???? then well, spending 40 years of it to help out a human paladin try and save his homeland from demonic incursions is really not a big investment
>>78374027Your method gets more points, especially if you have one of the Patron synergies, but you can achieve the same effect with the Perpetual Effect curse.
https://beanstalkcyoa.neocities.org/Celestial%20Maiden/
finally fuckin done with my celestial/MIE build, now to figure out how the fuck I want to format this into an image build, considering it's split into a universally applied build, a base form, a male transformation, and a female transformation
>>78374766So he finished censoring it and making it worse?
>>78358276Here's a 1-pager
>>78374864Yes. Explicitly to upset you, and for no other reason at all.
>>78374913Anon, do you not know the background of that CYOA's release?
>>78374613I'd take Guidance, Protection, and Dedication IF COMPANIONS EXISTED. If the companion has conservative aspirations, I, a level 150 Archmage, can just wave my hand and solve all their problems in an instant. Consent without mind control? Say hello to my Beguiling Charisma stat.
>>78374653if you take vise-versa you can take the vow AND perpetual effectalso perpetual effect isn't a divinely ordained effect and unlike perpetual effect it's not actually perpetual, it lasts a month, so if you're trying to live a calm life for a bit it's off, since the requirements of it are basically "don't be a dick" and "don't do sneak attacks"you're even allowed to do something like plainly tell someone "I'm giving you a chance to walk away but if you swing at me or my friend here I'm beating you up"which is neither initiating hostilities nor being unkind
>>78375080and even if they have lofty aspirations you still can help them out really welllike, you're basically Frieren, just make sure the companion you're dedicating yourself to is Himmel and you're probably even ending up having fun doing so like as comparison, imprisonment is 80 points for 40 years, during that time you're locked in a cell at the mercy of unseen forces meanwhile if you're helping out a late 20's human hero, you're at worst in for a 40 year commitment before they retire, possibly only a few years if you beat the demon lord in that timespanpurity builds get at least 200 points out of the guidance + protection combo and possibly as much as 490 if their patron is the doting lover or for a more purity friendly patron, 420 points if your patron is the Silent Moon and even without beguiling charisma, if your companion is a good person, they might genuinely just help you out if your goal you want to pursue is noble course these vows become really painful if you're evil and even worse if your companion is evil
>>78375233>>78375080oh and since companions can be other playersif both of you take this, and support each other, and both have a goal set up that's reasonable to achieve well, that's genuinely not a bad deal mutual adventure with another TR anon who's going with a purity build and likely not to be a dick or a literal dick
>>78368221What is this template y'all use to document builds like this? It looks nice
>>78375978don't think anyone is using any template of any kind, just pure excel stuffcould ask the anon to upload a blank excel though
>>78375978"Microsoft Excel" or equivalent. They're just spreadsheet builds saved as PNGs, really.
>>78354911wish i could be an overmind-type hivemind rather than a consensus consciousness
>>78377353Artificial Oversoul without Parallel Mind is what you're seeking.
>>78377388not really, multi-instance entity doesn't let you control multiple bodies at once and artificial oversoul doesn't change that
