I always remember refusing to pick a retirement for this CYOA. I think a forced 'choose how you're going to kill yourself' section is a bad idea for a CYOA, frankly.

The only thing I would need from this isa "last evolution" every superior minion race could take.
Like Death Prince/Great Lord/King for Death Lords.

What manly CYOA should I post next? Any suggestions?

>>96139543
Something by Beri.

>>96139547
wasn't beri the slime guy?

>>96139250
Can I take twin implements or complex outfit multiple times?

>>96139543
Sissy Life, nothing but men there.

>>96139367
In one fell swipe of the pendulum, MiCha filtered hundreds of redditors. How can anyone stand against such reckless power?

>>96139250
Rake, is it possible to keep dark nature of your magic secret from patrons and their other contractors without full invest in stealth? I'm specifically interested in Remial's case. Those divine senses are very nice and tempting, but this spirit must have them too, maybe even stronger version. As well as her other contractors most likely. Is this a trap option?

>>96139547
I don't think Beri CYOAs are very manly...but I guess I can post Royal Revival since that's my favorite cutesy uwu looking CYOA.

>>96139553
Yep. His best work is probably Royal Revival.

>>96139633

>>96139640

You know, I had a thought.

You all suck.

Then I had a second thought.

You all are weirdly resistant to interactive cyoa's, even though they're usually pretty damn great, and long. So what if I just... made them into image cyoa's? It'd only take some editing, a bit of copy and pasting, etc etc.

>>96139649

>>96139655
Yes! a return to form.

>>96139656

>>96139726

>>96139655
>You all are weirdly resistant to interactive cyoa's
I don't like them because of three reasons.
1 they have become very formulaic
2 While they are long much of the content is very sloppy filler for example you can have a waifu CYOA with hundred of waifus.
Sounds impressive until you play it and realize each waifu if just a franchise character and you get no info about them beyond their name and a picture.
3 They feel too impermanent an image CYOA you can easily save and re read but once the interactive gets taken down it's gone.

>>96139736
Path 2

>>96139655
I'll play both interactive and image, but I'll say that I'm not a fan of the more narrative interactive ones.

>>96139746

>>96139655
It's not about them being interactive, but rather that they're just bad so often. Like a child's idea of making something good, it's just all the things they like mixed together without considering the whole.

>>96139756

>>96139767

>>96139633

>>96139754
I'll show you guys what you're missing out on. Not today, cuz work + it'll take time. But I'll translate the interactive ones to cyoa images and then you all can see how you feel about all of them.

Some are pretty great. Course, most of the great ones are nsfw, but ehh, that'll be for a different place.

>>96139655
I HATE collapsible and hidden sections, I frequently go back in a CYOA to read or change my choices and that shit makes it inordinately difficult.

>>96139655
>>96139744
https://theblackmarket.neocities.org/Cyoa-V1/
I like this interactive since it's all OC content instead of franchise slop if you play normally and don't activate the optional modes

>>96139820
If the point is to convince us to play interactives you are wasting your time. If the point is to convert slop into the proper format I applaud you.

>>96139655
no idea why other anons hate interactive cyoas, as long as the content is at least decent and it was well made (like points cost/gains working correctly, a choice doesn't just deselect previous stuff for no reason, or not needing 1 hour to load)

something that I do dislike about them though is the hidden choices, at least just show them unselectable until you get the required choices, its a cyoa not a scavenger hunt

We need a horror fantasy wild west cyoa.

>>96139985
I've yet to find a decent one.
I remember liking to some degree the Lewd Worm one (before the mod craze( because of the companion, and Sleeper's Dream for the lore, but most of the rest is either very boring, copy pasted from that LieutenantThingie Worm cyoa, uninspired, or just...like it's basically McDonald of cyoas. Industrialized factory-made products without soul.

>>96139655

>>96139367
This CYOA is so masculine Tok didn't make a tranny seductress build despite the mechanics allowing it.

>>96140007
the way I see it, its not that much different from normal cyoas, most of them are kind of generic or boring with a few being actually fun.

Like Harahel, it is a damn good interactive cyoa

I also liked minor powers, even if it is severely lacking in the visual aspects, I enjoyed the potential synergies between the powers and the author left a list of all the 'hidden' power combos
https://worm-cluster.neocities.org/Minor%20Powers%20CYOA/viewer

I definitely see a pattern in most interactive cyoas having the exact same perks or powers even when made by different authors, but that is a problem of the authors and not the medium so I always at least give them a chance to see if they are any different

Seem as generic as the few interactive I have seen using that format (website, program ?) if a more effort version (not seeing the same drawbacks with the 10 max limit for example).

>>96140138
A botched delivery, then.

>>96139163
Who's the Emperor?

>>96140103
Harahel was a good "static" cyoa long before being turned into an interactive one, though.
>I always at least give them a chance to see if they are any different
If that suits you. For me, it would be like trying out each cyoa of a genre/author I dislike. At some point it'd be idiotic to force yourself to see unpleasant things for "fairness".

>>96140153
Our one and only sovereign of course, is this even a question?

>>96139367
I'm very tempted by the "attack, attack!" drawback, but the whole "minions get restless and mutinous" might be a dealbreaker.

>Ultimate Art
Domain [Battlefield]
The area becomes covered in fortifications, as ranks of faceless soldiers fire both at one another, and at any enemies caught within the domain. Those near the center face deadly cross-fire from both sides, and bayonet charges from supernaturally strong infantry. Those who avoid the chaotic center get caught up in artillery exchanges and cavalry charges. A quick and perceptive enemy can take advantage of the soldiers being more focused on killing each other, but this only distracts them from finding me blending in. The more aggressive the enemy, the more the battlefield will focus on them instead.

Stalkers and Spies: Specialized bug people wit natural "Camo"
Sappers, Artisans, and Alchemists: "upgraded" bug people from the Peons/Fodder/Swamers

>>96140170
Tok Sovereign...

>>96139836
Seconding this. I agree with most other anons that many interactive cyoas are lazy slop, but it’s not like that untrue of normal cyoas, the interactive community just happens to accept that behavior and allows it to propagate. Hidden sections and options, however, are a design choice I just can’t accept and actively makes them harder to play. Which is obviously the exact opposite of their entire reason for existing.

>>96140178
Just do quick single county/duchy conquests once in a while to keep them happy. You don't have to conqueror entire kingdoms at once.

>>96139250
can you change your gender with bio shifting?

>>96140535

Ah yes, the firstborn of Tokhaar Gol and Dark "Softie" Sovereign.
...Who was the mother in that scenario?

>>96140554
>He doesn't know...

>>96140554
Softie of course

>>96140554
Tok always turns himself into a woman so the answer is obvious

>>96140554
Softie is both mentally and physically incapable of penetrating anyone so the answer is obvious

>>96140554
(You) are. They both took turn on you to mix the seeds.

>>96139250
Rake, can you make Elara Voss your subordinate with the charisma from tok option and the power of cock

>>96139286
I agree with the anon who mentioned having quality of life perks next to mechanical perks is always a bit of an issue. Especially since I think a lot of people were taking even a limited number of the mechanical ones, since a handful are just hands down better. All that said, I am extremely annoyed by calling something a Tok option. It’s bad enough he exists in general.

>>96139250
>>96139629
My dark magics are shadow and illusion while my normal specialty is radiance. I thought of saying "Yeah so I trained my light so that by manipulating light I can manipulate shadows cast" and also "I manipulate light to create visual illusions". That way people wont' suspect/

>>96140324
Tell me how you fight. Write a little blurb about you in a fight with a mook and one about you in a fight vs someone on par with you.

>>96139629
Rake made it pretty clear during CC that he doesn't do trap options.

>>96141040
>he doesn't do trap options.
then explain all those breedable trap builds.

>>96141085
That's because you're gay.

>>96140998
could you not just fake not knowing the origin of the powers? they are going to assume its some kind of combat related quirk.
or you could just say its some kind of magic unrelated to light and dark
i don't think coming up with the excuses that you mentioned is going to work, they must know what the power they wield can and cannot do.
>>96141040
something can be a trap option without the author intending to make it so, like Alagalar the Tree who walks and Queen lit in moon from Guardian Of The Fae

>>96141095
>"Y-you're gay!"
>said breedable trap while blushing.

>>96140543
Are you Rake? If not fuck off.

>>96139250
>Male
>Subdued
Stealthy me, stealthy magic. (Pretend pic rel is wearing a more ascetic garment)
>Gadget
A tablet, perhaps. Portable, inconspicuous, and not as shit for magic programming as a phone.
>Tech (Specialty), Force (Master), Curses (Specialty), Celerity (Adept)
I'll primarily use Tech and Force, with Curses for countering enemy magic and self-buffs, and Celerity for dodging and escaping. Instead of personally fighting myself, I plan to emulate Iris a bit and use drones to fight, communicate, perform reconnaissance, etc. A few subtle camera drones to monitor the situation (or tapping into cameras that already exist), then send in a flying drone with an integrated gun, and let it gun down my foes. Stuff like that. Since stuff created through Tech magic has upkeep now I'd mostly keep my drones mundane beyond enhancement through my aura and some mostly minor additions. Sooner or later I'd like to have many parts of the City and my fellow Luminaries under surveillance, with hidden drones abound that can respond whenever necessary.

When I need to personally fight, I'll use a mixture of Tech and Force to deploy and operate a wide range of weaponry at once, like gun down someone from all angles or shoot them with a floating artillery cannon. Curse magic can sabotage magic that I'd otherwise have minimal counter towards plus augment my luck, and Celerity can bail me out of a lot of sticky situations.

And since Curse and Celerity are less flashy than most magic I can hide them better from my fellows. I'll also look into replacing my flesh with cybernetic implants, I believe implants are mentioned somewhere in the CYOA? Since they're always in contact with me they should be eligible for Tech's enhancement magic for a poor man's Physicality/Celerity boost.

(1/2)

>>96141143
>>said breedable trap while blushing.
nta, kek

>>96141194
>Expanded Soul-Space, Shrouded Magic, Hungry Magic
I can carry and deploy weapons, drones, equipment, materials, etc. from my Soul-Space. All magic I cast is significantly stealthier in combination with the Subdued outfit, so I can monitor the situation from close-by through drones without altering anyone. And Hungry Magic lets me use mana batteries, either ones I've made myself or those I steal from the corporations.
>Continuous (Tech)
Applies the Tech school's technology enhancement to any technology I control or "touch" through technopathy or Force magic, instead of only the technology I physically hold.
>No Patrons
I don't want extra eyes on me. If anything I want the war between Light and Dark to continue so Humanity can reach its full potential. Perhaps I'll sabotage other Luminaries and assist the Corporations when convenient.
>Corporate
The perfect position to put bugs on people and in things. Any cool new tech the corpos make I get first dibs on, and I get to embezzle corporate funds. Maybe even turn them into puppet organizations.
>Iris, Marie
I can bounce ideas off Iris and Marie can direct me to places to keep under surveillance.
>Product Recall, Abyss Spawn, Death-Squad Cleanup, Oil Rig Ritual, Hunting Horrors, Dark Cult, Memetic Agent, Maddened Sister, Assassination Plot, Leyline Sabotage, Corrupted Spill, Quantum God
Yeah, I could beat all of this.

Overall goal is to be a stealthy technological taskmaster leading humanity to fulfillment and apotheosis from the shadows. Maybe monitor Luminaries through my surveillance net to find people sympathetic to that goal, then meet them and unlock their Soul Gems. With how things are moving, I'm likely to be the first strictly pro-humanity god-spirit.

Stop :(

>>96140715
Not to mention the shitflinging over rebalancing the CYOA to avoid 90% identical builds, of all things.

>>96139367
This image right here is why Isekai Dark Overlord is 1000x better than magical girl slop.
Just imagining massive battles like this happening in the CYOA fills me with big dopamine energies.

>>96141289
We don't do build lists for btg shit.

>>96141386
Imagine magical girls + massive battles...

>>96141400
I imagine it and almost puked from the tonal whiplash.

>>96141387
We totally would if it was compelling. Somehow it just... isn't. I love dystopian urban fantasy, it's decently balanced and I have enjoyed other magical girl CYOAs but something is missing. I enjoy the concept of my build but I don't have that need to actually imagine living as my build in this world like I did with accidental magical girl.

>>96141387
that's reassuring because i don't like BTG, thankfully Luminary is not that kind of cyoa

>>96141400
NOoooo don't ruin my battles with girl toys sister noooooo!!!

>>96139575
I don't see why not.

>>96139629
>>96141040
Yes. They don't know at the start, and won't know unless you start advertising you have them. If you keep actively using your Dark magic, they'll inevitably get suspicious at a certain point, though not before you become prominent. You can assume nothing I do has any "trap" drawbacks unless I specifically state it, I really don't like those.

>>96140535
You can make permanent changes at the Master tier, or Specialized for others. Otherwise it'll just wear off.

>>96140869
She could be persuaded to turn on the corporations for the right price, most likely to work being more magical knowledge you could steal for her. Actually, that's probably the only mission you could do diplomatically. If you can actually seduce her, sure, why not.

>>96140324
>>96141194
These builds are actually quite fun to read, I'm glad people had fun with the Arts.

>>96141435
That's a little sad to hear anon. I'm sorry it didn't pan out.

>>96141386
Magical Girl has a great power system imo, tons of synergies and freedom. The setting just isn't interesting enough to actually use those though.

>>96139367
>>96140071
Don't tempt me

>>96141386
Doesn't do it for me, I much prefer personal battles than faceless armies.

>>96141454
It's alright Rake, I still enjoyed it and enjoyed making my build and overall it's 8/10. I have just been trying to understand why certain settings really come alive and others don't.

>>96141009
Against an equal, I'll start with an ambush from an advantageous position, or test them with long ranged attacks. Wear them down, pick off their allies. Then before they adapt, I close the distance and smack them around with my gun. I'm constantly swapping between getting up in their face with a weighted spear, and firing down at them from on top of something just far away enough that it's frustrating. Even in close range, I'll be randomly amplifying the sounds of impacts to be extremely disorienting or damaging, occasionally using this to assist in breaking their focus long enough to use my speed to take up a ranged attack position once more.
Basically, I want it to be as disorienting as possible. Even fighting in melee, I'm using a weapon style that very few enemies using a more traditional weapon will have experience against.
More often than not, I'll be working with at least one ally, fighting at range or up close depending on which will benefit them the most at that moment.
Against a mook, I'd fight pretty much the same way, but putting less power into each shot, and using less sound to save my energy for when it's needed. If I'm fighting a particularly strong opponent, or against overwhelming numbers, I'll try to find a space where I can use my domain. Any opponent without a brain will get bogged down fighting ghosts that vaguely look like me, while I deal the real damage. Anyone smarter will have to find waldo/wally in a crowd of similar uniforms every time they lose sight of me, and there WILL be TONS of smoke to fade into. Even being able to sense danger won't save them, when everything in every direction is danger.

>>96139744
On your various points.

1) I've found specific authors get very formulaic and just use the same damn options over and over. Mostly that's 0micron but then most of his stuff is commissioned by the same guy, so no big surprise there. Not a fan of C&P options in every cyoa by some author. Valmar does that a little bit but also his cyoas are far more interesting and unique in the rest of the cyoa. They're also very well laid out unlike many interactives.

2) Lazy/inexperienced interactive cyoa makers, they'd do the same thing with a static cyoa. It's just slop expecting someone to know every piddly little franchise you've shoehorned into some bottom of the barrel waifu picker.

3) That's why you'd have to download the file and fiddle with it. The allsync has converted tons of interactives over to offline usage so they aren't totally lost, though not all of the conversions are perfect for many reasons, such as an author just linking to images that never load or got removed. Can't do anything about that.

Death Ball (Bishifting + Physicality + Spirit) - Transform into a large hyper durable ball of shifting blades reinforced with barriers and physicality.

>>96139367

>>96141529
its not that we are sleeping on light, there are just not enough points, anon

Hey, so I just read your build. Yeah, that one. I'm sorry to tell you that you're NGMI.

>>96141638
How did you know that was my build :(

>>96141633
Alright so what do you consider the essentials?
My build has light as a major offense, shadow as a makeshift army, celerity to make sure I don't get hit, gauntlets in combo with light and celerity for killing blows, force to stop attacks or be precise, illusion for utility

>>96141677
>Light
>Shadow
Weak. I will not elaborate.

>>96141687
Shadow gives you an army that you can extract from literally anywhere AND a strong guardian that always has your back.

>>96141454
teto is so silly....
btw can you give more info for magic not related to light and dark? can it be used for direct combat or its mainly used out of combat for trap or weird experiment?
potentially speaking could you find a way to steal a fraction of the quantum god powers by doing some kind of ritual?
is there a difference between a god and a spirit beyond the fact that gods are more powerful?
are myrmidons half spirit? (they don't really look 100% human)

>>96141677
>Alright so what do you consider the essentials?
depends on a build to build basis i still need to post mine but its somewhat similar to that of Apollyon, mace with points on physicality and spirit, replacing radiant with sonic

Not a 100% on this build as I am still working out how I want to fit into the setting. Having access to a second specialization and the reasons behind it makes things tricky. While seemingly the good guys the forces of light are denying humanity it's full range of being and will not tolerate who I am destined to become. Humanity being absorbed by the light probably isn't a good ending either. But of course the corpos are evil bastards. So I am staying the hell away from the myrmidons even though Apollyon would have been an amazing mentor and picked the 3 girls who I think would be most amiable to having their potential unlocked (mostly the Luminous Knights faction).

My build is focused on being the ultimate tank without skimping on offense. I have defensive bonuses from colorful and the shield implement which boost my physicality based defense (which boosts my outfit strength which is top tier with armored), I also have spirit for regen and shields plus the Gaia bonuses for ultimate tankiness. The colorful outfit draws aggro which is critical for a true team tank, and the powered option benefits my core offensive abilities tremendously (strength and speed). As for what the outfit actually looks like the armored style is most prominent but the armor is golden and does have some discreet powered features (more mandolorian than Ironman or even Space Marine).

>>96141833
Jailbreak appolyon, do it, it'll be funny

>>96141677
My build, (not that guy), is physical/Spirit/Cerelity. I consider them all pretty essential lol.

>>96141844
Can you? I mean, they're humans that have "ascended" by burning the dark half out from their soul and become perfectly light beings (slaves/soldiers/possibly traitors to mankind). Would not having the natural darkness of mankind prevent them from being jail broke?

>>96139292
I like how one of the patrons is called steve,

>>96141844
I think the reason the myrmidons have multiple light specializations is a result of their ascension that burned away their dark side.

>>96141386
I like army builders and think isekai dark overlord is kino, but i just can't get into the premise. I don't want to serve literally satan while twirling my mustache.

I would rather be a good guy fighting hordes of ontologically evil foes or just some morally ambiguous conqueror doing it for the glory.

>>96139367
Until this gets updated its unplayable.

>>96141982
What is so bad with it?

>>96141989
You already know, micha. It flopped for a reason.

>>96140297
Why are you obsessed with Italics?

>>96141759
>btw can you give more info for magic not related to light and dark?
Think rituals and things like that, basically anything that fits: enchanting, alchemy, etc. These are be a lot more variable and versatile in application that the kinds a Luminary has, but are weaker for it in either effect or cost. It's not that that magic can't be used in direct combat, it's just that any School you have access is to is specifically designed for it, and therefore superior in that application. Or rather, the way your soul now works means that Schools you use are going to be shaped in a way that facilitates that. A corporate ritualist might be weak in a straight battle, but they can spend time beforehand fortifying their offices or homes with wards, summoned spirits, making it a demesne that bends to their will, traps, etc. to make it a bitch to fight through. Most of that would be fuelled by Dark power though, whether borrowed or stolen, so saying it's unrelated to either side would be kind of a misnomer.

>potentially speaking could you find a way to steal a fraction of the quantum god powers by doing some kind of ritual?
I'm not sure how that would work. You could channel it if you had the right tools. You could probably eventually find a way to do that, but it would be exceedingly risky and difficult, the same way trying to steal the magical power of any other spirit for yourself would be. If you just mean take a chunk out of it to store as a power source, then yes that's plausible.

>is there a difference between a god and a spirit beyond the fact that gods are more powerful?
Not particularly.

>are myrmidons half spirit? (they don't really look 100% human)
Partly spirit, yes.

>>96141833
I think I already said this elsewhere, but any Contacts you take will grow to look past your Dark magic regardless of their prior disposition, or at the very least be greatly inclined to do so once they've come to befriend you.

>>96141989
>>96141989
Nothing, just the common build everyone was doing was nerfed so that people would play any of the many other types and a bunch of people are crying like babies that it's unplayable now. Like children that had their toy taken away and told to eat their veggies...

>>96142026
Micha made a shitty update, now he has to live with the consequences of fucking with his players.

>>96142021
Thanks Rake, I have to say that it is in direct conflict with their faction description though. I might take Apollyon AND Mareal if contacts explicitly come to accept you as having another of the Myrmidions neutral might be worth a point as they are the biggest threat.

>>96142065
Just go for Pact.

>>96142085
>non-author leech acting tough
cute

>>96142090
Thats not a second light specialization though...

>>96142026
This is true. If 90% of a CYOA's builds are identical, there's an inherent structural flaw. All MiCha did was rectify this.

>>96142119
It's all of them all the time. Just pay.

>>96142115
>you have to like when authors take your fun and shit on it
Eww

>>96142119
Become a Myrridon, burn the dark out, destroy your ability to use dark magic, and get a second light specialization in your Ascension (maybe)

>>96142127
>rectified it by not fixing the problems and just making the cyoa worse
michasimp please at least be honest

>>96142127
It rectified it by making 90% of players drop it lol

>>96141387
God every time I see someone get uppity like this I'm reminded of when I was archive diving recently to a thread from fucking 2015 I remembered, and how full of btg, lewd (without explicit images,) and waifu CYOAs it was. These threads were so much freer before the 2016 tourist season.

>>96142128
>>96142140
No...

I guess I’ll go ahead and finally post this

>Form

>Outfit

The goal is pretty obvious, using a non-lethal mix of binding, shadow, and my implements, with a little help from celerity and physicality, I can do pretty much whatever to my opponents. I’ve made my mechanical and lore issues known in previous threads, so I won’t reiterate them here.

>samefag builds
It is time.

>>96139250
damned be my indecision, i have been spending an embarrassing amount of time searching for the right image for my build with a suit.
yesterday i spent an equally embarrassing amount of time in search of a mage image for witch-like (pic related) and as soon as i found it i decided to change and take Suit.
i might end up going back to witch like just because i cannot find the right image

>>96142207
How many builds can you samefag, tok?

>>96142215
i did not even post a build for the cyoa its the same build that keeps changing, retard. also I'm not tok

>>96015295
I'm working on a build for CC, and if I took both Path of Metamorphosis and Skin-Shedding Scripture, should I go out of my way to get a combat blessing like Warhound (or Weapon God) plus Perfect Conduit, or get Primordial Essence instead? My logic is that both Methods encourage combat so talent with it is beneficial and that being able to take in and utilize any resource would make adaptations from both Methods more exotic. However, the bloodline from Primordial would be really good raw material for both Methods to play with and build on top of.

>>96139367
What are the minions with AOE buffs?

no time limit but micha confirmed that if you take too much time the dark god that isekaid you will get impatient and start the conquest himself from the poles. so probably 2000 or 3000 years
>>96142277
nta but they are good, just too few

>>96142292
nerfing points was not good lol

>>96142272
That's a valid view, but why is that better than me taking a bloodline? I have my own thoughts but I'd like to hear yours.

>>96142242
I'd definetly take perfect conduit with that sort of build, but you really want to spend your drawbacks on GI's instead of normal blessings.

>>96142296
technically they are not redundant when talking about the power increase, but i would not take the bloodline because i do not like to put all my eggs in one basket, with combat blessings your mutation would probably be more varied, its not that big of a difference to be honest if you prefer the primordial bloodline do it.
>>96142294
yea.. that's true

>>96142177
I like the idea of a casually dressed man with his face obscured restraining enemies, walking up to them, putting a hand to their head Legend of Korra style, and transforming them into monstrosities.

>>96142340
NTA but the only thing I dislike about bioshifting was the emphasis on changing yourself. It's just a personal complaint but i'd rather use bioshifting for making minions and creating terrain or whatever. You *can* do that but it's not the focus of the power.

Continuous (Gift of Countless Blessings): it is much easier for my magic to manifest positive effects. It technically uses probability manipulation of Curses at the core, but in this case this name is misleading. It works by enforcing almost impossible "critical succes" as long as conditions are satisfied. And there are 3:
1)It must be a "blessing", intent matters, this Ultimate Art doesn't even work otherwise. I can't cheese it by, say, buffing sense of pleasure for my enemies to the moon and effectively neutralize them.
2)It must be "personal". It can't be something generic that affects an army equally or blesses anyone who is simply present on a certain territory. As long as this condition is satisfied, my blessings can be rather abstract and conceptual in nature.
3)It must affect only myself. In truth, this Ultimate Art doesn't only work with my own positive effects exclusively. When all 3 conditions are satisfied, dices explode and crazy "multicrits" are achieved. When I use it myself, it's almost Second Form-tier.

>>96139250
If even tactical applications of significant brute force don't work, you need bullshit. A lot of bullshit.
This build lacks proper speedster options, but with Schools that affect mind, life and forces, as well as my focus on blessings, I think I'll be able emulate Celerity well enough if necessary.
This build is heavily stealth-focused, then why risk it all with Apollyon? Because I want to understand condition of the Pure, eventual fate of all Luminaries. And Marael is actually worse variant in my circumstances.
I honestly have mixed feelings about global Light vs Darkness metaplot. I need more information, buffs to smarts and protagonist-tier plot-armor to resolve all of that in a satisfactory manner. It is very easy to fuck everything up beyond recovery when you deal with beings who can burn planetary surface or seal such heavy hitters.

>>96139250
Why does everyone and their mom make their ultimate art continuous?

>>96142409
Permanent stuff is more fun than temporary stuff?

>>96142409
can't say I paid attention to every single build, but from what I've seen in the prior threads I would say that continuous is not being picked a lot more than say domain or second form

>>96142402
>when you deal with beings who can burn planetary surface or seal such heavy hitters.
That's going to be you in like a century or two probably, if you survive. Even then Humanity has a chance without Luminaries running around, they're just the ones best suited to solving the problem.

>>96142409
Personally for me it was seeing the companion use continuous to make her bindings sentient. Made me think oh shit, this one doesnt' increase power like the others you get to add new skills and be creative

>>96142465
Domain can arguably be said to have potentially much more creative uses.

>>96142496
True. Okay new perspective, it has to do with setting. We don't know much about where we're doing or where we are at. If we were going to be on the battlefields, then having an epic second form or a domain shift would be logical. But since it's sort of vague city stuff it is more beneficial and can be better visualized a passive modification to existing powers

I didn't see that specialities are free, and didn't fix that before posting the build. Sonic and Celerity should be maxed out.
I should have master earth as well from those extra points. Crystal bullets, seismic sense, ground shaping.
>>96142496
Whether stronger or not, It's the more fun option to pick. I almost went with [Attack] for a stronger bullet, but that's boring.

>>96142324
Well I took two drawbacks and got the GI to give me three blessings already, but I'm talking about potentially taking more.
>>96142335
It's not a strong preference either way, just not sure which to go with. Actually, let me post my build so far:

Path of Metamorphosis
Akashic Ascension
Skin-Shedding Scripture

Heaven-Blessed
Decentralized Organs
Jade Beauty
Peerless Prodigy
Iron Mind
Third Eye
Perfect Conduit

Abandoned Beast
Spliced Tree
Pocket Dimension
Doll of Rebirth

Heavenly Conquerer Foundation
Lost Legacy

Alva, The Necromancer
Iska, The Amalgamation
Lyra, The Wyrm

Place of Power
Treasure Hunt

Deviated Form
Valuable
Incursion
Parasite

Basically I'm thinking about taking Pseudo Fallen (since my build is decent at dealing with it) and then taking Warhound or Wargod, OR trading that drawback AND Conduit for Primordial Essence.

>>96142698
>Heavenly Conquerer Foundation

A combo of Blacklight (without spreading), a galvanic mechamorph, a t-1000, and generator rex. I'm composed of highly advanced orgamechs. Cells-are-nanites-are-cells, no line between tech and bio here. With the ability to deploy blueprints on the spot through shapeshifting and gadget's program spells, I'm incredibly versatile and adaptable. This along with the evolution that comes with Bioshift ensures that I'm always growing, getting smarter, better. I can also split up my swarm or just rapidly forge technorganic minions. Eventually, I'll create Soulkiller to take the minds of targets, spirit should help here.

Main strategy is being a one man network of infiltrators, spies, and assassins by taking the place of targets like a skinwalker. Helps that most instances of me are disposable, with my soul gem safely tucked away in the prime chunk of nanites. Sacrifice is super handy since it's fairly easy to just be made of blood, and then have nanites do what they do best: harvest material and self replicate. All I need to do to get more sacrifice material is assimilate matter from the environment. Essentially, my swarm is blood. Flora is good for stationary constructs and for helping expand my mastery of the organic. Spirit is my programming school, I'll use it to do software development on myself and my minions. Having a brain like this is also helpful for studying magic and technology.

>>96142731
I have the power of God (Sartre) and anime on my side, you can't nerf me. Anyway, he could nuke all the "Your cultivation is better" shit from the option for all I care, I'm only in it for the Method, I don't really want anything else in the GI section because it doesn't benefit my build. A weapon? A servant? Companion boosting? Why would I care? None of the GIs are really great for personal honing/enhancement based Methods EXCEPT Heavenly Conquer, so if you nerf it, the GI section is basically a waste of time for me. And I'd have to dump Metamorphosis (since it's the weakest Method) if he did remove the third Method part, which is lame.

>>96142525
The only problem with this is that there's another like it but like 10x better imo

>>96142409

It's a magical girl cyoa, based against magically evil corporations, that mine, burn, and butcher sleeping evil God's for power, with an extremely shortsighted view of things. I'm pretty sure eco-terrorism is par for the course.

>>96139250
i can't prove it, but from the way Rake writes I'm positive he's into guro

>>96142831
if we do not consider the oil rig ritual mission its just classical terrorism for the other missions.

>>96142763
do you think the others do not have blood on their hands

>>96142767
>>96142813
Actually, I feel like being autistic. I'll give my thoughts on each GI for Metamorphosis and/or Skin-Shedding Builds.

>Dharma Weapon
A weapon gets in the way of you honing your mutations and bloodlines, it basically cripples your cultivation by its use being at odds with your Methods' development.
>Primordial Essence
Like I said, it's good as a foundation to build on. It's like having a much better base than just 'very compatible cultivation clone' since you've got dragon blood.
>Perfect Guardian
Like the weapon, it's just at odds with your Methods. Any foe or task your Guardian handles is a foe or hardship you're not getting a chance to mutate against. You're effectively denying yourself opportunities to grow.
>Heavenly Conquerer Foundation
A boost to your Cultivation is simply good for anyone, just the best generic boost for any Method. The third Method just gives you a chance for more synergy or variety.
>Mentor Ring
A Skin-Shedder could maybe copy his Bloodlines, but that's it, he doesn't benefit much in honing yourself with what you encounter. For a Metamorph, he's basically useless. Your mutations are deeply personal and tied to what you're doing and experiencing, this guys mutations would be tied to what he's done. Again, both rely on context, and his context isn't yours.
>All-Consuming Devourer
Slightly redundant with Skin-Shedding, completely fine with Metamoprh. Obviously the utility of stealing bloodlines, techniques, and power can't be understated for any build, though.
>Lost Legacy
A Hyperbolic Time Chamber is generically useful, and three more blessings or treasures is again, generically useful. Just another fits-all-builds kind of option. That said, Metamorphosis and Skin-Shedding benefit from this GI the least of all Methods, simply because they require exposure to NEW things to get better, so being a hermit means you'll soon be out of material on which to build.

>>96142916
>Karmic Alignment
How is being a boyscout or an asshole going to directly benefit either path? If anything the behavioral limits will cripple you on how and when you can adapt to things by limiting your conflicts. They just don't 'align'.
>Auxiliary Techniques
This is for base builders and artificers. Well, both of these Methods don't do artifice, they're about honing the self, not building equipment. They're also not great for hermiting up, so having a static base (that's not Lost Legacy) is effectively slowing your cultivation.
>Void Body
Weakening your opponents gives you less opportunities to adapt, since they'll die sooner and with less effort on your part. Thus, you won't be able to hone yourself as much. Empowering your companions also, like the Guardian, is giving someone ELSE the fight/task, and thus they're getting better while you are not, since you're not adapting to anything.

>>96139250
How powerful are deities? Specifically can I kill or contain the 'enemy' imprisoned with Gaia then marry her? I feel like a few conceptual Arts at once could pull it off

>>96143098
It tells you on page 8 anon:

"You will eventually be able to match the greatest spirits"

Give it a few decades, or a century, of fighting life and death battles where you constantly get through the skin of your teeth and maybe, just maybe, you can destroy the dark ones and give most of the light ones the boot to get off our planet.

You can make anons accept anything if you wrap the content inside a waifu.

>>96139250
Anyone unironically calling this btg shit is retarded btw

>>96143366
Anon, if you keep picking the optimal option, the author will get angry and nerf it! Authors can't handle everyone picking the best option. It ruins the cyoa!!!

>>96143333
>everyone takes the best options to be da bestest
no the fuck they dont? back during the mp we had a lot of varied builds. dumb wasted quads

>>96143361
Reading books. Writing little snippets about my build. Coding whatever idea takes less than an hour.

>>96143402
stay mad, tranny

Be honest is anyone interested in a mecha CYOA where you are a participant in an on-going war for profit in a alternative fictional earth reminiscent of the early-1990s, but with some advance sciences?

>>96143459
Just make the oc author-cattle

>>96143435
You’re an idiot, then? Everyone is taking combat 3 lool.

>>96143459
Yes, I feel like I should respond with 90s slang, but I don't remember it anymore.

Be honest is anyone interested in an isekai waifu CYOA where you are a participant in an on-going war for profit in a alternative fictional earth reminiscent of the middle ages, but with some advance magic?

>>96143465
>Combat 3
Thats only for melee fags. Magic is one hit KO tier in this world.

>>96143465
Humage, Hestor, Janna, and Conrad of the Fortuna familia didn't take combat 3. That's 4 of their 8 members, "everyone" did not take combat 3
Don't even have to look at the others when the first familia btfos you so decisively

>>96143264
It is a cool concept that gets completely wasted. If you're going to make it all about Gods, why stick to the trite 'medieval jrpg city' aesthetic? Go for bronze age city state! Greek polis! I would even take Rome.

And the designs for the gods are so boring. Look at this 'Hestia'. She has no warmth incorporated into her design whatsoever. If I were writing this I'd be slobbering all over designing characters with connections to their symbols and stories.

>>96143459
yes?

>>96143493
>they didn’t take combat 3
Okay so they’re all dead then.

>>96143361
I usually just exercise and play with my dogs.

Japan LOVES making 10/10 setting concepts and backgrounds and systems, but then they absolutely fucking ruin it by throwing in cringe ecchi fan service like big boobed goddesses in short skirts, or the hero has some dumb harem, etc.

>>96143459
Sure. It's been a while since I've had a good mecha cyoa.

I am struck with love. I care, I really do, about every single one of you. God bless all of you. Be brave even though there is little recourse.

>>96143468
>>96143500
Free form system where you go down different customization and modification parts then choose a appearance at the end? Or a system similar to Star Dust with starting a template that is modified with stats and narrative implications mixed in?

How should waifu characters be handled since so much emphasis is going to be placed on mechas and warfighting?

You ever think it's weird that anons make their builds for CYOAs based in a social setting like they're going at it alone? Did they forget humans are social creatures?

>>96143495
I'm sure it's plenty warm between her tits.

>>96143538
I got broken up with today. Four years down the drain. We were going to get married next year.

I won btw

>>96143539
I'd like stardust style. Part of the fun of mechs is in the construction, and trying to figure out what I can build from the available components.

>>96143552
I'm sorry I can't physically help from all the way over here, wherever you are. You are earnestly in my prayers. I can't imagine suffering like that.

>>96143552
You just saved yourself from losing 50% of all your stuff.

>>96143552
I know it sucks and I’m sorry for you, but this is a great opportunity to reflect on yourself and what you want out of a relationship in the future. It’s not down the drain, it’s experience. They can’t take away the good and you can learn from the bad. It’ll be better in the next one.

>>96143333
>>96143366
>>96143435
Why does the author of Danmachi hate martials?

With Metamagic(Swarm+Drain) you’re a hard counter to martials that have a low magic stat. They just get out to sleep.
.

>>96143602
get put* to sleep

>>96143602
Every author hates martials. If you check any cyoa, they always give them worse stats despite them lacking in range.

>>96143552
eat the bitch

>>96143563
>>96143581
Thank you for your kindness. The idea of starting all over at 26 is scary. I thought she was perfect, but it didn't work out. What are the chances of finding someone else that seems perfect like her but actually is perfect. Nonetheless I will persist. This is a kind general.

>>96143602
>>96143606
I blame martialfags who want to be a hyper realistic fighterman who just swings his sword and yet matches a wizard that can blow up a city and rape physics and make it call him 'daddy'. If martialfags were fine doing things like moving faster than sound and cutting time then they wouldn't have this happen to them.

>>96143602
The author of the manga hates martials lol. The best caster is also one of the best fighters because she can memorize moves just by watching them once, lmao.

>>96143618
>t. wizard that lost to an esper trying to cope by bullying martials

>>96143602
Bug spell is fucked if combined with other spells.

>>96143618
>I blame martialfags who want to be a hyper realistic fighterman
This isn't a D&D thread

>>96143648
It doesn’t say if they’re flying bugs or not…

Poor cyoag retards. Trying to put logic into franchise cyoas. Don't you know it all series run on plot armor? That is why when you try to make them into a cyoa, it becomes clear how broken the power system is.

>>96143606
Name one author

>>96143611
I'm going with number 6.

>>96143686
Aromage

>>96143694
Passing up 5 mil?

>>96143702
You pass the opportunity of 5 million, could be easy but it could be next to impossible. 6 is safer, but I don't know why 4 exists then.

>>96143552
You'll bounce back.
It sucks right now, to have the picture-clear future ripped out of your grasp, but all nights eventually leads to dawns.

>>96143702
Just explore the cave, bro!
What's the worst that could happen?

>>96143633
>losing to an esper
Impossible. They're just overspecialized mind wizards. A multimage floors them without trying. Niggas can't even dispel.

>>96142525
This is written by AI and it is painfully obvious

>>96143727
>t. wizard that had its mind exploded before they could cast any spell

>>96143733
>he didn't start the fight with a simple reflect spell embbed within his own mind

>>96143611
1 allows you to live anywhere you want.
2 allows you to go some amazing destination for your lunch, good luck explaining to the authorities though.
3 is awesome or a trap, no inbetween
4 is weird, guess it's useful if you have too much stuff.
5 is ok, pretty good if it's like pic rel, with puppies and kittens.
6 is the best, you free housing and utilities and zero commute, but packages and taxes are a pain.

why's this guy keep trying with his ai bait

>>96143751
I did not know there was an AI baiter here. I just got annoyed that the author didn't bother trying to mask the obnoxious AI-isms in his interactive CYOA.

>>96143751
>heart clenches
>wastes a few seconds understanding why
Man I miss Surinical.

>>96143731
Is this our newest shitposter? If you just say every cyoa is written by AI it stops being funny.

>>96143792
I have never accused a CYOA of being AI except the one I just did

>>96143797
>obvious attempt at backpedaling

Are you niggas interested in a RWBY CYOA?
If so what would you like to see in it?

>>96143618
>>96143652
Yea seriously none of the martials here want to be badass normals. We want to master the Dao of the Sword such that we can cleave fate itself.

>>96143857
Is Rwby finished yet? I just want it to be over before anything comes out. Make your own funny combo weapon fantasy with animal people instead.

>>96139655
You can't usually save them to your device of choice, if they disappear or break you're just fucked. Also I like fiddling with my little build documents, even if it's a bit more work.

On the positive side, being able to just save image of your build is pretty nice, and it's much easier to just push buttons instead of manually adjusting point values or making a spreadsheet. Being able to Ctrl+F is great too, but you can do that with pdf as well.

This has everything that's wrong with interactive slop (don't go look, anons):
https://wormlewdmod.neocities.org/isekai/

1. Leans heavily on franchiseslop. Zero original or interesting ideas.
2. AI generated as fuck. You're absolutely blind if you can't see it.
3. Same generic perks copied from other slop CYOAs. Often they don't even bother changing the descriptions.
4. Particularly bad point balance even among its kind, points granted by worlds and costs included. Makes one wonder if that was decided by AI as well.
5. I feel like I can't express this very well, but there's no feeling of cohesion to it. It's all over the place with the options, and not in any conceivably good way. Poorly structured.
6. Easy way to gain a huge amount of points, most of this slop loves to give you access to "creative mode" or some other crap like that.
7. Horrible companion section. Even if you go take a look at the CYOA, spare your eyes from that.

After seeing the above shitshow, I've concluded that Tok is a saint, and his CYOAs are kino.

If you could only choose 2 of these 3 which would you go for

>>96143936
What happened to option B?

>>96143887
>Is Rwby finished yet?
No they announced that they are working on volume 10

>>96143953
the CYOA works in that different tiers are linked via their letter assignment. For this particular page, the B line only goes up to second tier, and what I posted is third. Now answer the question.

>>96143936
Invincible Blade and One Sword, Countless Cuts for a nigh invincible defense.

>>96143960
Same as >>96143966

>>96143857
Perhaps use tertiary material for content. The games and books had interesting content, albeit in the usual "wasted potential" way.

>>96143857
Make RWBY a coherent setting, canon be damned if necessary.

>>96143917
>interactives are so shit our village idiot look like a savant by commaraison
Holy shit my sides

>>96143980
I honestly never payed any attention to anything tertiary until the DC crossover movies.
And well they were a disaster too.

>>96143997
This is something I feel very compelled to do.
For example showing the world to be actually apocalyptic.
Adam being an actual extremist with conviction not just a lame ex.
I would even get rid of Salem and make her gay group maybe just people that want to take over a kingdom or something like that.
And definitely make clear distinctions between semblances, dust, and "magic"/maidens.

>>96143552
Screw it man. 4 years sounds terrible but a person willing to dump you after 4 years is a person willing to do it after 20. You dodged a bullet.

>>96139250
Is immortality free or an option in this CYOA?

>>96144366
It's the first thing you get

So you're stuck with the same spirit guide as Sera then? Ominous as hell that you don't get a personal one like every other luminary

>>96144505
I somewhat suspect this being is the actual reason why we are unshackled, and everything is going according to keikaku.

>>96141974
You only serve the Being if you take Vassalage.
Otherwise you are free to make the world the better place during and after your mission is complete.
And besides, the Goddesses sound petty as fuck and deserve to have their power and influence taken away from them. The indoctrinated inhabitants of the world should totally be saved from those arrogant and haughty bitches.

>>96144505
>like every other luminary
There are others that share a spirit guide.

>>96144588
Do they also have a propensity for directing their charges to incarnate a wandering soul from an unknown dimension as a Luminary with split access to both Light and Dark?

>>96143539
>a system similar to Star Dust with starting a template that is modified with stats and narrative implications mixed in
this one
>How should waifu characters be handled since so much emphasis is going to be placed on mechas and warfighting?
Easy, don't include them. Make some short unrelated waifu CYOA later on instead of trying to squeeze them in haphazardly.

>>96143539
Star Dust had waifus? And a fetish DLC for them. And actual smut written about them.

>>96143857
I think a CYOA inspired by RWBY would be better. I'm tired of playing CYOAs with meta knowledge, it makes interacting with the only characters in the setting creepy and weird.

>>96144640
BASED more cyoas should do that

>>96144653
>I'm tired of winning

Husanon posted Luminary on reddit yesterday. A sign of 1.0?

>>96145014
Two more months.

>>96144410
>It's the first thing you get
I read the first page and there is no immortality, if there is immortality tell me the page and where it is on that page

>>96145166
First paragraph of "Regalia of the Luminary"

>>96143882
In the end, martials want to be wizards too… so much so, that they disregard the irony of their wants and actions.

They forget that concepts like cultivation are ritualistic efforts, and weren’t martially oriented originally.
