>Thread Question: Do you read all of the companions you know you aren't likely to pick?

>>96317573 (OP)
I really like this cyoa but the class art is a bit out of place, sort of, and the powers suck and are not balanced at all. Does it even say how powerful you are in relation to the rest of the place? How many others have your power set? If what you can do is common then it’s probably a constant battleground and that’s not fun.

>>96317607

>>96317592
The powers help with different goals
In terms of combat power they obviously aren't balenced but when you consider interacting with the world and how people will treat you they are sort of kind of balenced
Sort of
It's really more of a story builder anyway

>>96317615
I’m more concerned about how *common* your power sets are, though. Are you special in regards to others? Are there others beloved by the ship’s AI? I don’t do polygamy.

>>96317642

>>96317638
The ships ai is as pure as snow, you are in the top 1% of the setting
I presume

>>96317651
Not good enough. I need to know for sure. One percent can still constitute others. Sharing isn’t fun.

>>96317651
>The ships ai is as pure as snow
Unless Surinical says otherwise we can’t assume this for certain.

>>96317671
Are you calling my aigf a two timing slut? I will kill you, lmao, kys

>>96317690

>>96317671
Why would you design an ai not to be entirely pure?

>>96317573 (OP)
>TQ
Yes. The lives they had, the motivations that push them forward, their utility to us in relation to the world - it gives me a better understanding of the world.

>>96317699
If it was entirely pure it wouldn’t have fallen in love with you idiot. Also, do we even know what sex it identifies as?

>Ordion has OC to show off
>Tankista has OC to show off.
>Tok has OC to show off.
>Husanon has OC to show off.
Italics really is bottom of the pit

>>96317736
Tok you literally have 2 other generals of your own make to be bumping
Go back

>>96317707
>Also, do we even know what sex it identifies as?
I think you mean GENDER you bigot

>>96317573 (OP)
>Thread Question: Do you read all of the companions you know you aren't likely to pick?
It depends on the CYOA.
Italics-tier companions with endless walls of text? No way.
Something like the companions seen in pic related? Yes way.

>>96317880
Best fulcrum build

>>96317573 (OP)
TL;DR AI slop

Why are there three active threads going? Not counting the ones past bump limit?

>>Thread Question: Do you read all of the companions you know you aren't likely to pick?
I try to. Often there are neat lore tidbits mixed in, or hidden quests. Plus, some cyoas specify that anyone (you) don't pick will be antagonistic towards (you). Got to scope out the competition, right?

>>96318031
Also, why isn't the Dark Lord OC the OP for any of the three?

>>96317977
I think it's kinda strange how image builds are almost always...a bit feminine? Maybe there is actually something in the water?

>>96317573 (OP)
>Do you read all of the companions you know you aren't likely to pick?
If it's a well-written cyoa, then all options are worth reading. If it's floppasloppa, then I might not even read the options I pick (besides the titles).

>>96317364
What the fuck do you mean, almost every Italics cyoa has a ring option that is the only method to officially permit a long-term romance. Which is not only a ridiculous opportunity cost due to the sections it’s found in, it almost always specifically talks about cis heterosexual marriage.

>>96317573 (OP)
Pretty much always, yes. I read every part of a cyoa when I first consume it, to better understand the world and the authors intent. I usually won’t do it on repeat if I found the section to hold little value beyond waifu picker.

>>96318136
Spooky kitty

>>96317775
Gender is literally just another way of saying sexual expression, or sexual identity. Gender is derived from sex. It’s not all that unique.

>>96318238
Tell a tranny that gender wouldn’t exist without sex and they’ll try to murder you.

>>96317658
>If I'm not the only one that can hold a sword, I'm a jobber

He raises a good point. I don’t want there to be a third or fourth (etc) person in my relationship with the ship’s AI.

Surinical you answer me now.

>>96318334
Why would you want to date an AI? You probably can’t even touch her/him/it. The thing probably uses holograms.

>>96318334
What if the previous people were your direct ancestors?
Would fuck the family ai? Would you follow in the footsteps of those that precede you?

>>96318394
That reminds me of that old fantasy where your dad buys an elf slave and she ends up being your nanny who basically raises you, but you end up fucking her when you're grown. What happens when you die? Does your half-elf son inherit his mom? Does he fuck her? Does she commit elven suicide for her one true love and soulmate dying like the mayfly you are?

>>96318394
I’m not dating my great great great great grandfather’s ai gf sorry

>>96318417
I think this is solved by elves being harder to impregnate then humans, and you having a human wife
So you can send your grandson, and his grandson, and his grandson, to finish the deed and impregnate that elf

>>96318417
An immortal butler or maid that sees the house bloodline grow and die over time is a cool idea.

>>96318420
Coward
Take responsibility!

>>96318432
Guardian spirits and family gods have been a thing in many places

>>96318443
It’s been done in science fiction too. The android sort.

>>96318429
>Having a human wife
Gross.

>>96318432
>>96318443
Guardian spirits and family gods tend to tie into ancestor worship, so while you might have a founder or most legendary ancestor who gets the bulk of attention, in societies like this typically YOU would be considered to become a guardian spirit/god and join the family pantheon and watch over your bloodline into the future, like all your fathers before you.

>>96318480
Which was all extremely based, and should be brought back some day

I feel like having romance with a companion locked behind a perk is pointless

>>96318490
Imagine it, centuries into the future, you'll have your descendants evoking you specifically to assist them in elf-fucking activities, since being the elf-seducer is your family legend.

https://rentry.org/jrpg_traitor_information

>>96318496
Nah. It adds more immersion and characterization to the world and is better than Reddit everyone is bisexual chud or will sleep with a 5 year old boy.

Companions should have standards of their own.

>>96318564
Spellblade is the coolest sounding class, but I think it's funny that there aren't any powers attributed to it in that section so we don't really know how they fight, unlike Magic Knights. I assume the four Reyanes sisters are Spellblades from their descriptions but that's not exactly telling us specifics of how Spellblades combine magic and melee.

>>96318480
Ancestor worship was stamped out in China by commie scum. SAD!

>>96318564
Why is blue so much more powerful than red or green?

>Thread Question: Do you read all of the companions you know you aren't likely to pick?
I usually avoid companions all together unless they provide benefits of some kind thay relates to me getting more power. Authors rarely write anyone appealing enough to me so best to use those points toward power and resources.

>>96318601
They were never meant to be equal.

>>96318601
It isn't, Blue just gets Shusai so everyone prioritizes it. Meanwhile Green can summon Pylons while having a Pylon familiar when we're told these things are an actual threat to the entire hero party on their own. That shit is more impressive than most of what Blue can do on its own.

>>96318620
Um. No. Blue is still more impressive. I’m not even going to entertain your gay ass bias.

>>96318506
I love speaking with you sometimes

>>96318648
I don't know who you are but I'm glad you like my posts.

>>96318620
>Meanwhile Green can summon Pylons while having a Pylon familiar when we're told these things are an actual threat to the entire hero party on their own
Nah I can solo them

>>96318649
>https://rentry.org/jrpg_traitor_information

>>96318647
>Doesn't have an argument
Come on, senpai. I'm not saying Blue sucks or anything, just that it's not more powerful than Green. Red is more of a mixed bag, if you're a Demon then Red is the best, but if you're a human it's not too impressive.
>>96318655
>t. dead hero

>>96318620
Well, with Blue you can reach powers comparable to a Pylon, so I don’t know what to tell you here.

You didn’t even read the cyoa.

>>96318672
You're actually agreeing with me. My point is that anon is wrong, Blue isn't 'much more powerful than red or green', Blue and Green are comparable in power, so they're balanced with each other. Red is more of a crapshoot like I say here >>96318665
>>96318681
Bro why are YOU soloing a Pylon when they're your own summons?

>>96318573
isn't having it locked behind a perk just making them bi tho

>>96318620
Lol, what can a mere pylon do against shit like MTOR;(ELE), ELE;(/), TRANSMUTE, -CASTs, ABSORB, DISPEL, and SIGN?

>>96318690
Drace is cute

>>96318688
You just said Green is more powerful than Blue. I’m telling you it’s not when both can reach Pylon tiers. I’m not sure about Red since I don’t care for Red. I always mix Blue and Green, and the lore even points to them being more alike than not.

>>96318697
>MTOR;(ELE)
The quote for this one is literally a Pylon, implying that's something it can do.
>>96318704
I just said summoning Pylons is more impressive than most of what Blue can do, not that Blue doesn't have comparable options. I think you're having a pointless quibble with me when I just told you what my argumentative intent is.

>>96318392
No one cares when the author stopped handing out blessings. Let face it its a shit CYOA that had a gimmick and once that was removed everyone got realized that the CYOA could not stand on it's own two legs.

>>96318715
>The quote for this one is literally a Pylon, implying that's something it can do.
Right. And I can send an infinite amount of MTOR;(ELE)s instantly. Your counter?

>>96318715
>I just said summoning Pylons is more impressive than most of what Blue can do

Debatable.

>>96318726
Do you think this is a vs. battle debate or something?

I divided up the companions of my CYOA by region but I feel like I just made more work for myself by doing so

Literally nothing about JRPG Traitor makes any sense. The abilities are all written like vaguest gibberish for lolmystery points. The author is just like that for some reason.

Elspeth from Magi Case: Fragmented Bloodlines.

The thing I don't see people mention about JRPG Traitor is that it's a JRPG. These powers aren't unique, you're going to be fighting a party that's learned some of the same busted skills and maybe some different ones on their quest to save the world and then slay god. You are most likely, depending on your choices, the dramabaiting boss that bars the party's path in the room before the enemy's innermost sanctum. Direct victory is only one of the possibilities, I don't think you'll be overpowering an entire party that's almost at your strength without a cunning and well-constructed build. Also, which of the princesses is best? The diddler needs the rope desu but the bandit is cool.

>>96319032
The more powerful abilities are probably a lot less common, or a lot more rare.

>>96318775
Curiosity don't have a synergy with the Philosophical aspect of a cult, it requires a cult with it, and your build don't have Philosophical. Same way you need to be a cult of personality to take You as a divine.

>>96319032
>party that's learned some of the same busted skills
>party that's almost at your strength
Not if you do what you're supposed to and secretly hinder them.

The purpose of the hero's journey is that you can secretly stack your deck as much as possible before you strike big during the big betrayal.

>>96318743
It's a literal JRPG, power description are all exaggerated and just flavorful.
>Oh, you created a supernova that engulfed the heroes party? That's 5,6k HP damage.
People here just use the vagueness to justify whatever powers they want.

>>96318716
no? its still a great cyoa no matter what

>>96319095
Funniest when you get like 3 of the party members to just come with you what are the remaining 2 going to do against the 4 of you and the overlord?

>>96319032
>Also, which of the princesses is best? The diddler needs the rope desu but the bandit is cool.
Stella > Alyssa > Aurea (raped goods) > Adelina

>>96318690
>>96318698
yes

>>96319032
You literally decide which ending you want to the story, you just need to justify why your build would win or lose against the heroes.
>which of the princesses is best?
Aurea>Alyssa>Adelina>Stella

>>96319132
I've played JRPGs where those power levels are literal, at least in the final battle. They just usually make sure to put you in outer space, an alien planet, or some kind of god realm so they don't need to worry about the consequences.

>>96319166
>Liking raped goods
>Liking rapists

>>96318588
Looking at the free powers. Magic knights get one basic physical, attune one element and can buff that element to get resistances and stronger spells.
Spellblades otoh get an element, the ability to create weapons from that element and a dispel/mana debuff.

To me it seems that magic knights are more focused on defense and augmenting their martial power with magic, while spellblades are more aggressive with a focus on countering the enemies abilities.

>>96319032
It calls itself a JRPG Traitor but the CYOA really doesn't play on JRPG tropes or presentations. It acts more like a Western RPG.

>>96319195
How so? Most of the events are all classics in jrpg and anime and the geneal party set up is jrpg based while each of the characters, save for a handful, are jrpg tropes

>>96319045
Certainly, but it's a JRPG party, they're all exceptionally skilled, rare, and driven individuals by definition. There's probably more power flowing through the party and their antithesis in the Overlord than there is anywhere outside of the Aspects themselves. I imagine the traitor being like 5-10 points ahead and better at using his skills, but the party aren't jobbers. Otherwise they wouldn't be the party.

>>96319095
True. If you do things right, you'll be much stronger than any one of the party members. However, there's six of them. Even if we assume you're threefold stronger, a reasonable assumption for the average JRPG Traitor that begins the game strong and gets even stronger by next encounter, they're still twice your strength as an aggregate.

>>96319143
Bold choices, I can respect it.

>>96319166
It's more fun for me to extrapolate what the party's builds might look like and how that syncs up against mine than to choose in a vacuum, I guess. I've got no meta-justification for this and don't care to go digging for one. Cool fights are cooler when they're close. Intriguing choices of princess.

>>96319195
Most likely because it's a western author with the idea of channeling their conception of a JRPG into their work. I think it's JRPGesque but not necessarily as eastern as, say, the monstergirl world CYOA by Apotheosis.

>I cast fucking METEOR
>it lands, causing a fucking crater the size of Wyoming
>”it does 537 damage”

I hate health bars so much it’s unreal

>>96319195
The JRPG basics are all stolen from the WRPGs Wizardry and Ultima, dude.

>>96319171
Aurea has the best story potential, to either make her the true ruler of her kingdom or to lead her on only to break her further and make her more miserable. Adelina is certainly interesting and makes for lots of posible stories. Stella is just boring in comparison.

>>96319220
God damn it. What haven’t white people invented at this point.

>>96319180
>while spellblades are more aggressive
I figured, but there's no technique building off of the idea of aggressively swinging a sword around while zapping magic, wheres Magic Knights get shit like summoning armor using mana.

>>96319218
So you HATE pic rel?

>>96319234
Seed drill.

>>96319247
Yes.

>If you don't pick this companion they become your rival and compete against you like a recurring mid boss
thoughts?

>>96319195
There's a beach episode and a moment where you can show up to save the party after you betrayed them to then silently walk away. It's peak anime.

>>96319256
Fun

>>96319256
It's a cool concept. Archnemesis did this by giving your nemesis some of the companions and how they would differ if he had them over you.

>>96319256
In a multi-player setting, would be funny to see everyone team up just to stomp this one fucker.

>>96319281
Archnemesis is retarded since you can’t romance your arch nemesis. Hate fucking is the best.

Do you like having a spell list to choose from or prefer generalized description of magic types and schools leaving you to come up with tour own spells?

>>96319230
Oh, we're ranking them on story hooks and not how cute they are?

>>96319281
The biggest flaw in Archnemesis is that it cripples your archnemesis' stats for no other reason than to make it easier for the player. To hell with that, I want mighty foes! If possible, I want them even stronger than myself so I can fight even harder to taste sweet victory or know glorious death!

>>96319245
I think WEPN;(ELE) is pretty aggressive with its exploding swords.
But this is all just my impressions. Really the difference between these classes are a few red or blue tokens, with you will have too many of in the end anyway.

>>96319296
I like generalized magic with example spells, but I haven't seen it much.

>>96319296
Do I want magic to be play dough, or specifically constructed spells?

>>96319065
Ah you're right, I'll just swap Fraternal for Philosophy then.

>>96319217
One thing that should be noted is that while there's going to be a big overlap (since everything runs on the same basic principles) the party's highest tier abilities will probably have way different fluff from yours, since they're not going to be doing shit like evoking Mung or Kib.

>>96319286
You can never and will never touch my waifu
I will fight to the death over her

What do you guys think of this system for dungeon delving?
>A tribe of fairies live in the city next to the dungeon they are the only one able to interact with it meaning opening the doors between floors and activating the emergency system to get people out of there with a wait of a few minutes.
>They are extremely weak but if they die they are reborn outside the labyrinth they want nothing more than to reach the bottom of the labyrinth but are too weak to do so.
>So they ally with adventurers to explore the labyrinth they serve as their bodyguards and they as lifelines and to activate the elevators between levels.
>If a party loses their fairy they are practically dead as they have no way to escape but people take the risk because the place is an infinite source of wealth if you can manage to return with loot.
Does it sound like it makes sense?

>>96319296
General with example spells is always best

>>96319230
All of the princesses are boring imo.

>>96319335
Definitely, I meant their builds in more general terms. They've got different Aspects, they're bound to be interfacing with the metaphysics differently.

>>96319234
Food with soul.

>>96319309
Aurea is also the cutest, just picture the tough bandit leader hiding in her chambers to cry like a little girl after her trust was betrayed and her body used by a callous psychopath again. It's very cute.

>Swap appearances with a companion OR nemesis/antagonist everything else stays the same
>You can try to manipulate people into thinking you're them but if your abilities/strength are too disparate you will get exposed
In a CYOA where you're dropped in with your IRL appearance and fitness is this a buff or a drawback or neither (Item/equipment option)?

>>96319342
>and activating the emergency system to get people out of there with a wait of a few minutes.
wtf is this lame ass PG13 dungeon?

>>96319342
Is the fairy cute?

Don’t trust faeries. They will wriggle down your urethra.

>>96319378
It's a buff, especially if you're swapping me with a cute girl.

>>96319368
Fried chicken was invented by italians and spread to black people

>>96319382
Probably designed by some pedo wizard that has a fixation on faeries.

>>96319342
Sounds good, dungeons are cool

>>96319368
>>96319405
All soul food is basically traditional southern food, they just repackage it as a black thing up north.

>>96319342
It's fine, but how does the emergency system work and how did the fairies gain access to it? Is there any threat of losing control over it?

>>96319336
>Her
Sure buddy

>>96319370
Eh, my angle is to be the traitor for the greater good, rather than actual spite, so there's none of that going on in my build. Lots of crying and misunderstandings, but no callous psychopathy.

Is Dungeonslop going to be the new Overlordslop?

>>96319433
yea

>>96319433
nea

What other schools of magic are there besides the elements, time/space, light/dark, psychic? I want something outside of this.

Dungeons are like women. The deeper you go the more it loves you.

>>96319456
Make more unique, holistic or nuanced tales of the elements. Heat and cold are the same. So why not make earth all sorts of things like gems and metals and life itself?

>>96319456
Fleshwarping.

>>96319456
Nature, artifice, order, chaos, and summoning come to mind. If you want to be edgy, you could have blood or pestilence.

>>96319456
Metamagic. AKA science.

>>96319342
Makes sense, particularly with video game logic. The fairies are the "players", while (you) are one of the recruitable NPCs, right?

>>96319456
Go the Adventure Time route and make elements from weird shit like cogs, gum, plastic, etc..

>>96319456
blood, arcane, curse, enchantment, summoning, soul/mind magic.

>>96319382
>wtf is this lame ass PG13 dungeon?
Well as I have it writen each floor is massive(Likely the size of a state with monsters of all kinds living in killing them doesn't make you level up or anythig you need to find and consume a mysterious ore found scatered but there are chest that contain mysterious artifacts that range from weapons to every day items.
So knowing how to survive there for long periods of time is key.
Maybe I should make the system a bit harsher.
What if it takes a full day and the fairy becomes a beacon for monsters while doing so?
>>96319418
The in universe explanation is that they share their ability to be reborn with the adventurers and so they get ejected.
Maybe I should make it so only by locating the elevator in a level can you bring back what you found in the dungeon the system leaves you naked outside the dungeon losing everything.

>>96319342
Weird fairies that have some control the labyrinth and are immortal in its confines. Why would such strange creatures exist naturally one might wonder? These must be evil fay luring adventures to their deaths in the dungeon so they could steal their souls, but they carefully control the death rate so the adventurers don't become too suspicious or too scared to enter so they can harvest more souls. The whole cute fairy thing is most likely a PR stunt.

>>96319541
Evil fairies are so tired and cliche at this point, fuck off with this boring shit.

>>96319456
Biomancy
Necromancy
Bardic
Ritual
Abjuration/warding

Magic: the Gathering
*White - humans, light, angelic, fields, protective
*Blue - air, water, illusion, psychic
*Green - elves, animals, plants, forests
*Red - rock, fire, goblins, dwarves
*Black - humans, undead, demons, swamps, darkness, curses

>>96319553
Oh the fairies themselves don't need to be evil, they can be naive innocent idiots not realizing their true purpose in the whole scheme. But in the end they are still a tool of whoever created the dungeon.

>>96319456
I seconds this >>96319497 normal elements are cool and all but a bit overdone, so going the weird route would make a cyoa way more interesting

>>96319590
If they need to get to the bottom, then they need to get to the bottom. To breed, to die, to evolve, to commune with their god . . .

both fairy guide companion and evil fairies are cliche so pick your poison.
But really the boundary between a trope and a cliche is thin it all depends on the execution and if you want to make good evil fairies in a cyoa don't be dumb and make it direct, you need to make it subtle on the surface they must appear as just friendly companions. You need to keep the vague lore snippets buried in random throw away lore blurps on companion descriptions, rooms, etc. How some of the fairies are freshly new, some have weird quirks, some said to bring bad luck to adventurers. Then you have to drop some hints about the dungeon growing, blurps about the high fatality rate of adventurers. But you don't state any of this obviously that is the main mistake when writing an evil trickster, you actually need to make them trick the audience, don't even state it at the end of the cyoa that the fairies are evil on the surface everything needs to look clean and nice. Let the player try to piece it together from the lore snippets and even then they should still be doubting themselves is this actually true or are they just paranoid and thinking too deep.

>>96319988
Fairy guide companions haven't been played straight in like 20 years, making them no longer cliche.
>Goes on some annoying rant about his shitty cliche

>>96319817
Why does half of China vouch for shit like the Wulin dog meat festival (where they literally blowtorch dogs alive because in their belief system they think the more an animal suffers the better it tastes) while the other half of China is all cutsey uwu shit.

>>96320013
I accept your concession.

>>96319342
Sounds like a CYOA for girls EWWWW

>>96320012
Because they rapidly industrialized which means a lot of shitty old cultural traditions didn't get time to fade and there's a stark contrast between the rural and the poor and the middle and upper classes. All the fucked up shit happens in in deep rural areas barely touched by the revolution and modern culture outside of having killed their nobility, or in slums inhabited by those people when they came to the cities to work. All the cute shit is happening among the fully civilized people who are plugged into the modernized culture and progress of the country.

>>96319875
From the description given it really seems to me to be this way. Like there is a weird race of fairies living right over a dungeon, they have an affinity for the dungeon and have these weird abilities to manipulate the dungeon in specific ways, can't die in the dungeon and they have an inborn desire to reach the bottom of the dungeon. If they aren't evil themselves, then they are still to connected to the dungeon for them not to be a tool of it.

>>96320012
>where they literally blowtorch dogs alive because in their belief system they think the more an animal suffers the better it tastes
I’m always blown away by just how evil and soulless the Chinese can be. One of the worst videos I’ve ever seen consisted of a live whale shark being chopped apart by ravenous locals. They don’t kill their animals first. They watch them suffer. It’s fucked.

>>96320047
Yeah well that’s not enough of an excuse. Even backwards people know it’s cruel to do a thing. It’s innate to the Chinese to be this way, I swear to god.

>>96320010
fairy companions are way more cliche than evil fairies. There is far more media with fairy companions than with evil fairies. There are even multiple cyoas about good fairies and to my knowledge there isn't even one with evil fairies.

I'm bored. Show me a good cyoa that isn't posted often.

>>96320069
I'm just answering your question. I can assure you all the middle class Chinese doing cutesy shit don't like it either, since they have high rates of pet ownership like every other urbanized population anywhere.

China has people going around in cities stealing dogs. From homes. They break in and steal your dog so they can cook it and eat it. They capture birds in the cities to eat like chicken. The rich still cut off the fins of sharks.

What? They are infrastructurally killing the ocean, lmao.

— Analysis reports released shows that China’s massive distant-water fleet flocks to the waters surrounding the Galápagos Islands, then frequently disappears from public view by appearing to disable public tracking devices.

And it’s still going on in 2025. China is in the fucking Galapagos.

They don’t care about the ocean. They don’t care about life in general, in fact. It’s a consequence of communism making a race of psychopaths even more psychotic.

>>96320150
No, fairies in medieval tales had a mix of moralities. Stop getting your worldview from Changeling. Some were evil, some were good, some were merely capricious. Plenty of good fairies in fairy tales, and often times people punished by them did something morally evil like betray hospitality laws.

That wasn’t me. I’m saying what’s moral to us might be immoral to another, and vice versa. Culture shock is precisely that. “When in Rome”. Evil is relative. Although I don’t disagree that there’s empirical evil/good out there.

>>96320194
Literally fucking irrelevant. Not even the point. Nobody brought up moral relativism until your retarded ass. Nobody cares. The point is that this faggot >>96320150 is an idiot who gets his view of fairies from pop media like Changeling, and so do you. Their actual moral behavior varied from tale to tale. Reducing it to "muh alien morality" is the same as saying "All fairies bad!" Only an uneducated fool does it. You are a fool.

Yes. Because fairytales were often moral projections made by the people who made them.

I don’t even know what you’re angry about honestly. No one is saying faeries don’t have personality.

>>96320205
>Reducing it to "muh alien morality" is the same as saying "All fairies bad!"

Your retarded ass is trying to claim all fairies in all fairy tales were evil, because you're retarded. I pointed out to you that's a false perception born out of pop media like Changeling, and you keep either missing the point or trying to introduce some idiotic tangent.
>>96320246
>N-no I'm just saying moral relativism
Nobody fucking asked, faggot.
>You're a Christian
No, I just hate false information, which is what your stupid fucking meme is. Claiming I'm a Christian for not liking retarded lovecraft angels is like calling me a Pagan for not liking retarded always-evil fairies.

>>96320266
>Your retarded ass is trying to claim all fairies in all fairy tales were evil
I never made this claim. You appear to be having a schizophrenic meltdown.
>I pointed out to you that's a false perception born out of pop media like Changeling
Changeling didn’t start the whole living narrative thing. Changeling doesn’t even argue the True Fae as truly evil. They’re just weird. Yes, alien. They DO try to understand humans, but it usually fucks them.
>No, I just hate false information
It’s all there in the text.

>>96320266
Angels CAN take on human forms, but being higher dimensional beings they are not beholden to such. ;^)

>>96320285

>>96320150
>Changeling didn't start the living narrative thing
Nobody fucking brought up the living narrative thing? The point of bringing up Changeling is that all fairies are pure evil in that setting, and it being popular on /tg/ spread that meme around here.
>T-they're not evil!
Oh boy more moral relativism shit, everyone hates you philosophy 101 students.

Where do you think their weird ass morality comes from in the Changeling/Exalted sense? They’re living stories. Autistic beings.

>>96320307
>The point of bringing up Changeling is that all fairies are pure evil in that setting
No they aren’t. They’re just weird. Their actions are horrific to us, purely. They’re just other organisms with their own evolution in mind. Most of them aren’t Keepers (words for fae who capture humans to play with). Most are just vibing.

>>96320263

its obvious

>>96320307
>The text of plenty of fairy tales where the fairy is helpful or displays positive morality, you faggot?
They exist. Please read A Matter of France. A fairy adopts a human and teaches him magic. The villain is actually a wicked human sorcerer.

>>96320307
I'm the OG guy sorry for replying so late I was eating.
I didn't mean to say that all faeries are evil either in pans labyrinth the faeries are mostly good.
The problems come from breaking the rules that is what I meant by placating them.
Even good house fairies have rules you have to follow to stay in their good graces like leaving milk for them to drink.

Look at all these fairies having a meltdown.

>>96320337
I think I don't care, that's not the point.
>>96320362
That IS the point, yes.
>>96320369
Then why interfere with the conversation pointing about how overdone evil fairies are now?

The word for angel, "Mal'akh" just means "messanger". It describes a function, not a form.

There are several types of angels whose appearance is described, or implied, in the Hebrew Bible. The best known ones are these are the Cherubim guarding the garden of Eden, and are also located below God's throne. Ezekiel describes them like this: "Each of them had four faces and four wings, with straight feet with a sole like the sole of a calf's foot, and hands of a man under their wings. Each had four faces: The face of a man, the face of a lion on the right side, the face of an ox on the left side, and the face of an eagle."

The angels that appear to Abraham had looked completely human.

The Seraphim ("burning ones") are described in the book of Isaiah as having six wings, two covering the face, two covering the feet, and two used for flying.
Others are described. Some look like wheels (Ophanim), some look like lightning (Hashmallim), some are giant humanoids (Bene Elohim), etc.

Not sure why Christians hate this. Are they too similar to demons? Aren’t demons just fallen angels?

>>96320375

>>96320346
The True Fae in Changeling are literally rapist allegories. They're rapists and abusers, and your characters are rape victims. The autism and story shit is just the reason the Fae are rapists. The argument is not made that they're not evil. You are not meant to think they are not evil. Changeling does not make an argument for moral relativism. The true fae are your evil villains who raped and abused you and you have to live with it while avoiding getting dragged back to the rape basement.

>>96320379
>That IS the point, yes.
Then why the fuck are you arguing with me? I’m agreeing with you. Having blue and orange morality doesn’t mean you’re evil, it just means you’re alien, or strange from our perspective. Why wouldn’t faeries have different outlooks? If they’re portrayed as evil, then that’s just the conflicting nuance of exposure logic. Because again, Romans would view us with a mixture of horror and wonder, like we do for them.

>>96320394
>The True Fae in Changeling are literally rapist allegories
Only Keepers are this. The book (both editions actually) make it apparent and quite clear that this only applies to fae who decide to get involved with mortals, as it never turns out great for the mortals.

The vast, VAST majority of true fae don’t care at all about what goes on outside Arcadia.

>The autism and story shit is just the reason the Fae are rapists.
No it’s the reason why they’re compared to insane schizophrenics. Love and hate to them are the same, since there’s love and hate embodying them - their story. They are the grasses in their realms, and the king that lords over it. When you step into Arcadia, *you are literally stepping into the fae in question*.

>>96320407
Because it’s common sense, you dense fucking melon.

>>96320414
>This only applies to [the only fae relevant to your game]
You're just trying to argue minutiae for its own sake.

>>96320407
Why do you think fae are sometimes seen as exclusively evil or dangerous? Because humans aren’t used to their ways of thinking.

>>96320439
…What? There’s a big distinction between a fae who is/isn’t a Keeper, just as there is a distinction between a fae who stays in Arcadia and one who lives outside of it (usually due to banishment), the ‘Charlatan’.

I’m just telling you how it is. The true fae are rapists the same way a child is a rapist for throwing bugs into jars and shaking them.

>>96320424

You're arguing lore irrelevancies in the face of me plainly stating the game's themes and the true fae's role in that theme. The true fae that you interact with, your keeper and their agents, are allegorically evil rapists. That there are fae uninterested in you is irrelevant. The goal is to point out that these fae you interact with are objectively evil. The reason this is being pointed out is that fae being evil on /tg/ was popularized first and foremost by Changeling, to the point where people insist its lore applies absolutely to fairies in fairy tales and in other media.

>>96320498
Yes... You’re interacting with an *evil* fae. Fae who don’t interact with mortals or seek them out are considered benign, not evil. They’re feared because of the potential to grab their attention, but most won’t bat an eye your way.

You’re confusing your Keeper with every Fae out there, when the reality is every Fae is quite distinct. Some might even be indistinguishable from good.

>>96320498
>The goal is to point out that these fae you interact with are objectively evil.
Only if they bother to involve mortals. That is the point. A fae shouldn’t ever interact with mortals. Some fae actually avoid humans for this reason, because understanding human nature shunts them out of the Wyrd. They’re opposed ways of thinking.

The ship's AI is pure and only loves you the player. Could have explained the power differential much better. My thinking while writing it was that you the player are the only one able to take more than one class and no one else in the setting is able to achieve level 3 in any skill, thus no love from the pure as driven snow AI except for (you), the scion of the empire. I thinking with the 3 AIs were commiserate to brain systems. CNTE=frontal lobe, ARIA=limbic system, 'unnamed ship AI (the one that helps callers) brain stem and 'lizard' brain.

They're some of the only CYOA that, gives me more creative freedom in creating the sex of the character and while not intentional, rewards me with points for playing a straight woman or gay man or gives me the options of creating my own companions in detail. There's options for world building that I tend to like that isn't found much in other CYOAs. Since I tend to ignore most of the fetish options, I end up saving on points. I unironically enjoyed Dragonfall as well for the freedom in dragon design. Ignored the companions though. Tok seems to reward feminity under the understanding that it's a punishment since the intended audience are straight men but for me, it just plays into my favor.

Why, what are yours?

I see the point, without strong antagonism, there isn't really a threat. I don't mean to imply other characters aren't strong in ways outside of the class system, and of course they could dabble in multiple skills, but not the mastery you have the capacity for. Red Hand rides a genetically modified rhino and has access to healer coffins, Xax is a Builder Spider with ozone breath, Bloom's bio mass is around 10 square miles of hypae, etc.

>>96320970

Surinical I have a question regarding the Pets and Feral Warden. What are exactly their individual capabilities once they evolve? their description is pretty vague. Also if you ever plan on doing an update for Metastatic, I'd appreciate some illustrations of what the Pets look like in their evolved state.

>>96321041
It's fun taking advantage of CYOAs that make normal or mild things a punishment all because the general target audience and writers thinks it has cooties.

>>96320989

>>96321043
It's in the works, according to Aromage. They've posted a few WIP images.

>>96320931
well you probably couldn't make an anime with the 11th outsider too much of a freeform self insert, but if you use Charlie or Keter as the MC could work as they have much clearer stories, its just going to be quite a tragic anime

>>96321067
I think the author was sad when he wrote the second page

>>96321075
Tok yes, but I don't care and he is not the only one. There was another CYOA that made you a forever virgin by having your hymen grow back after sex if you wanted more points. Breaking your average hymen is not that bad nor painful if you're properly wet or lubed up so it was free real estate. It would have to specifically say that your hymen was tough enough that it is difficult to tear without a surgical procedure.

>>96321117
>If I contort myself to the authors fetish he gives me points!

>>96321081
Ok, well, I've been neglecting my residence since forever, and I'm finally gonna build a new one.

>>96318716
It still is a good cyoa, we just moved on. Everyone that read it at this point made their build/s. Me included.

And my main build is without the author giving me any blessing. Just like an anon said months ago, everything is said about this cyoa, just look at the recopilation of the answers of the author. Whats more there to discuss?

It's basically like if I post now OR. Everyone made their builds, everything is discussed. At most, in a few years, a wave of newfags could find it. But right now I have so much entropist in my head I don't need to read it, I basically memorized it with the amount of times I read it when we were playing it.

>>96321135
>Implying I care
This is what I'm talking about. Some of you get so chicken shit over nothing-burgers and imaginary problems. The author is not involved in your build unless you want them to be and the author can jack off to whatever he imagines about you regardless of your build. Tok is likely spanking it for just mentioning his name.

>>96319230
>Stella is just boring in comparison.
That's just because you don't know what to do with her, in a narrative sense. She is a classic hero type, but the situation with her sisters still exists with her. Stella is the option if you want to deal with her family drama in a complete way. If you want Adelina and Aurea as part of a functioning family Stella is the way to go, or if you want the drive the entire family into suffering(you monster) she's still the option. Personally I think there is a great story to tell of Alyssa becoming queen while Stella is the hero that exposed Adelina, and brought Aurea back. Where both Adelina and Aurea's crimes have to be at least publicly forgiven due to their achievements against the 7th Overlord and their forces, resulting in an uneasy family situation, but where they are a family again. Also I think it's cool to have Stella explaining everything she knows about the family drama and the situation in court to Alyssa after they end up fighting together against dream beasts to save some place.

With several of the Overlords though I think it's quite possible that both the knights Alyssa is with and Aurea's bandits end up together trying to save the common man. With Stella as the hero in that situation she can work to unite those forces, as where if Aurea is the hero it would be a matter of one of the forces dominating the other.

>The magical ore found in the labyrinth can be consumed by people this has different results depending on the person most commonly the person's body grows in strenght, speed ans resilience but some more rarely develop magical powers like the ability to generate and control fire or spend their energy to heal others.
>The more ore is consumed the more powerful one grows but with diminishing returns after a while.
>Even here everyone is different some might star to see diminishing returns once they become strong enough to lift a person with one arm another once they are capable of felling a tree with a couple punches.

This would be the basis for the magical system.

>>96320989
>War of the Zodiac Brides video game
Never forget that ZBG commissioned art for the game and girks and just disappeared when he could make a short game easy

More importantly I feel like WotZB misses something to make it feel like a game. There was always something off about the setting and CYOA to me but I can't place my finger on it.

>>96319136
It's evident that it is not when everyone stopped playing it once the blessings stopped. Like when was the the last time you saw a new Entropist build?

a few months ago, there was a fucker who kept spamming his build over and over.
its normal that a Cyoa receives the majority of the builds at the release or once there is an update

I feel like it would have a mix of combat and diplomacy as you try to balance survival with time spent fucking your new yandere harem

>>96320904
The Dark Fae class in BONC still give the wrong type of points on the imgchest.

>>96321327
It's a battle royale CYOA but with literal 13 participants. I don't think the game woukd have enough of a main gameplay loop to be enjoyed to its fullest.

>>96321358
Yes, it will be 2 hours long, not including separate routes
Games should get to the point and finish

>>96321367
That's not really a game then.

>>96321259
I personally always thought that the ending sort of invalidates the whole thing since you become an omnipotent god by doing nothing and you can then simply brainwash whatever bride you want to be part of your now perfectly legal harem.
What is the point of participating in the war if all the roads lead to the same place?

>>96321377
There are tons of high-quality games that are two hours or less. A recent one I've experienced was S.p.l.i.t., which would've suffered considerably if the developers dragged it out any longer than it already is.

>>96321259

It does tho. The most obvious example is that guy that started to spam his build and add it when he respoted the cyoa, he didn't read entropist when it got posted at first but months later.

>>96321198
>>96321480
i feel like you would need your Elaine to be taller if you want to lick her bellybutton while standing up

>>96321498
Or break my neck, yeah, Drace has a more appropiate height for that I guess. It's kinda hard to imagine the proportions of someone so big, with that image my head would be between her breasts and her bellybutton, in the middle, her boobs acting kinda like a crown

Post the best cyoa. Demon Eyes.

Why is there two threads?

>>96320351
Winx Club was surprisingly good. Very similar to a magical girl anime.

>>96321540
Are* anon, you sound ghetto.

>>96321540
It's complicated but one of our authors is a narcissist that damaged the CYOA archive, so his work is no longer recorded there, so he has his own google drive archive. This isn't reposted regularly which angers the author so he's been trying to sneak into OPs for months now, but the anons keep ignoring him to post and participate in a regular thread.

>>96321572
nigga what do you mean ghetto? do you have something against ghettos?

Brainwash them to be okay with the harem, though most would be okay with it if you simply asked. The point is that the war is simple set dressing since you don't actually have to commit to anything, your choices simply don't matter in the cyoa.

>What is the point of participating in the war if all the roads lead to the same place?
To mitigate the damage? The war happens where (you) live, and ZBG posted a pdf of what happens if (you) simply sit around watch the carnage. Most of them die, and the final winner (Lucianna of House Leo) develops severe PTSD and survivor's guilt.

(Not to mention all the civilians who die as elementals, poison, and worse are unleashed in your home town.)

>>96321677
You pick servants and you build a very large structure, it's basically a kingdom builder

>>96321665
But it isn't nearly the height of the medium
Also, personally, jedi are lame, and star wars is mid

>>96321685
I still wouldn't classify it as such, but you do you.

>>96321610
>Gender
Female (its all part of the plan, I don't want to be a woman)
>Demon Impact
Demon arm. The only one that does not change your mind or is a very obvious weak point in combat (Appeasament is treated as a weakpoint to exploit against angels, for example)
>Lust Eyes
Split Eye of Form Duality. Mandatory Immunity to the majority of demon eyes, almost immunity to the rare 5 cost eyes and some resistance to 10 cost eyes. Apart from that, this eyes is a super hax eye, gives offense, defense, healing, utility and mindfuckery. Also, lets me be a man despite picking female
>Auras
Demon Fist Brawling T2. Its the main method of fighting, cursed ones are already stronger than any threat below 3 and equal to the threats at 3 the majority of time, so with this at T1 you would already be fine for a lot of enemies, T2 makes it even better.
Ultimate Sword Arts T2. After strength and durability, the enhanced speed and dexterity is king, long ranged move included. With T2 you have a super powerful space attack and a way to create portals. With just those two auras you would have speed and strength to defeat any lvl 3 threat rather easy.
Ninjutsu Stealth Arts T1. The even more enhanced speed and agility to make more probably the sword arts to land. Speed is king. The added stealth is also fine because I imagine work will happen at night and will be a secret to the rest of people.

>Uniform
Revealing. Now the plan is realized. Thanks to this I could get the Split Eye of duality with just demon arm as an impact. I don't know how the gender restriction works with split eye so I picked the female option to be "legal". I guess I would be born a girl but change my gender into male and say I am the twin brother and my sister is sick or something. It also helps to romance Setsuna as the description of the uniform confirms she is lesbian and likes the player if they are female, so it should be easy to make her fall for the male version.

>>96321712
This cyoa is an allegory for escapism and I fuck you (Lovingly) under the bleachers btw

>>96321656
>>Emperor of the Etherscape
>the art he used for 60% of the cyoa is kinda shit
Not that anon, but I really enjoyed the underlying scenario of Emperor of Etherscape. Trying to rebuild a multiversal empire as the compromise candidate provides so many interesting problems to solve.

I agree about the art, though. Troy X is way too into Dejah Thoris, for one thing. And some of the candidates - like the two weightlifting sisters - well, if that was the best art he could find, I wonder why he didn't rewrite them to match what he could find.

>i was also very close to add Guardians/Forces of Darkness to my top 3 for games
Good choice.

>>96321712
>Foes
Everyone but the 5 lvl threats. Everything lvl 3 and below are not hard at all with this build.
For the lvl 4 threats I will probably get a team to help me. I take them mainly because it looks like something you should do, stopping demon cults, punishing the betrayer, killing evil spirits, fighting angels. Should be hard but very doable.

Lvl5 while not impossible are very hard and not my cup of tea.

>Gear
Divining Cards. Great power, not really a drawback.
Mage's Broomstick. Cleaning should not be a problem nor hard with these auras.
Spirit Blade. For the use of my sword arts, if I end up too fed up I will ask a companion to give me another sword and gift this one to someone else.
Argon Energy Gun. Gifted to a companion. Great gun with barely a drawback if used with a brain.
>Companions
Priscilla. Cute kid and range based attack. Her eye is interesting to explore. I would gift her the argon gun.
Fading Schoolgirl. Out of pity mainly. She is still useful tho and would make my stealth even better. I would look up for a way to get her a real body, maybe exploring the uses of my eye to invert states (althought it does not work with life and death) and search for someone with the right eye. We have all the time in the world given I could change old-young with myself to not die of old age and also use it with any important person in my life.
Vampire Boy. He is strong and I could take an empty bag of blood and invert it to be full of blood again.
Boy with a pale shadow. Out of pity, I would try to make him healthier using my eye and maybe finding the spirit that almost killed him, maybe that would help him or let my eye help him.
Star Watching Student. She is cute.
Yakuza Son. I want that money, also a little brother that admires you should feel good. I would also use his father's yakuza when the apocalypse zombie happens to help us.
Angelig Healer Shiro. Healers are important + she cute + I wouldn't mind if she sucks from the source.

>>96321785
Android Yui. I want to know why there is an orgnization that sends robot to "protect" me.
Demon princess. She is strong and cute.
Setsuna. She is strong, cute and the leader. Also likely the romantic interest if harem is not permitted.

The thing is its confirmed it will happen. Its real in universe. More examples are the talking dolls of some companions, the demon princess with a shadow guardian, the vampire hunter of old and the boy with a pale shadow, that without knowing you knew you had a demon eye and started to talk with you about it.
Or heck, the sisters knowing who you would meet and bending the future or the Yui Android talking with machines that do what she asks.

Would you rather conquer a shithole planet or a shithole dimension?

That's illegal.

hes not back, as much as that would be interesting, its just one of the cyoa's that inspired me to make "so you wish to be an overlord" was anduins dawn of a demon lord cyoa, and i added the alteration lord ability and heroes to the cyoa because i liked those things from doadl, although ive been advised to not have alteration anymore cause its redundant with chemical magic and whatnot, and ive also been advised that i need to give my heroes more personality, but eh

those three are just the powergamer classes, but you can easily choose the other ones while still being very strong

>>96322863
To be fair, the wizard spec was going to be popular regardless.

>>96321657
A diviner? How would you extrapolate the available starting magic into divination?

It's a standard mmo format, If you try for It you can almost certainly

>>96322915
I don't know anon. As written not a single one of the starting magics are even conceptually close to divination (maybe the Dark Arts "rituals" could do something similar? Or minor druidism to replicate a monsters magical sensory organs?). If you're making a build under the assumption you'll have divination magic "eventually" so the information-giving Interfaces don't matter, you might be sorely disappointed. If you wanted to adapt an existing magic into divination where would you even start?

mmos these days have diviners? damn

>>96322995
That anon is retarded

>>96322974
Mana control lets you experiment and make new magics
Divination is a standard issue magic
It's just probably there
It would be a weird gap in the setting if it weren't
The whole thing was described as elves dragons etc and I would put divination in etc

You guys are based. I've noticed that there's quite a bit of overlap and some definite reoccurring choices between us.

>>96321655
huh, thanks. Never knew that.

>>96323074
If spells are only the transformation of mana but not the *result* of mana, then mana can affect space and time. As in, mana while it is transforming cannot affect space and time, but "settled down" mana can. This means that spells cannot teleport you, but they can create something that teleports you.

>>96323450
I lack the textual evidence to contradict your workaround, so you may very well be right by RAW, but all the signs point to no space and time manipulation in any fashion by RAI.

As much as I like to beat up and bully nerd Italics, you know where he stands, he's not going to transition on ya and make some gross nsfw cyoa that literally makes you feel nauseated.
