Name your top 5 cyoas

>>96895033
No

>>96895033
Dragonfall, Versecrossing, Witch Awakening, Waifutopia and Dawn of a Planeswalker

>>96895115
>tfw you see one you really like in a list of bait

>>96895033
Angel, fulcrum, royal guardian, dark god and your cyoa

does anyone know the author of this one?>>96895033
My favorite will always be the guildmaster one.

>>96895033
Only really have three for all time favorites
Horseman's Kingdom, Magicians' Academy, Celt's Comfy Trailer
Honorable mention: An Eldritch Bloodline, if the balance wasn't shit

>>96895033
Hmm, in no particular order:
Star Dust
Harahel
Comfy Spaceship
Alien CYOA (by DBCoopercobra)
Divine Trials

>>96895033
In no particular order, my favourites are Night Ride, In the Wake of the Dawn, Anomaly 777, Isekai Bounty Hunt, and African Warlord. I like most CYOAs though, these are just the ones that have gotten stuck in the back of my head the most.

>>96895033

Dawn of a Demon Lord, Dragonfalls, Outer Reincarnation, Blood Magic, Spirit Conscript

Those that tend to have good world building, decently challenging setting(not straight up overpowered without peer) yet give me enough power fantasy fuel

>>96895033
>Docklands
>Amidst Cycles Incomprehensible
>All Things Great and Small
>Eldritch Bloodline
>Derelict Station Survival

Off the top of my head and in no specific order. But I could probably add another 20 or 30 that would all be fighting for a spot in the top 10.

>>96895232
>Honorable mention: An Eldritch Bloodline, if the balance wasn't shit
Fair complaint. It really wins on vibes.

>>96895376
>In the Wake of the Dawn
Based

I have a problem with Outer Reincarnation: my build always just ends up being 'Old Throne spam'. I am too autistic to get over the fact the setting has an unlimited time loop easily up for grabs. Just go to magic trance sleep on the thing and try literally tens of thousands of times to brute force it or build a giant superweapon ("Build A!", "Build B!", "Build C!",...). Go to war and enslave everyone, who cares, it's a time loop. J'dan you retard hire a mind mage to make it so you don't get bored. The built in warmachina synergy makes me feel like a kid slotting two legos together. I mean yes clearly it's not a creative masterpiece but what the fuck else am I supposed to do with these two pieces. Also I don't understand what they're talking about when they shit on undeath all the time either that seems like a no issues solution to the fate thing. Before you say "read the lore": I have a job. In conclusion I'm retarded.

>>96894896
Do not forget the all-important addition that makes it playable!

>>96894884

Re: Isekai

It is easy to guess my build in that cyoa.

Shapechange 3, Smite 3, Avatar 3, Automation 3, Legend 3, Immortality 3

>Nature of Reality:
Laws 3

>God-King Monarchy:
Graft 3, Mobility 3, Artifact 3

>>96895658
I was speaking about the hypothetical build which does this naively and from their perspective dies for no reason. I actually have no idea what he's talking about (the nightmare that one girl has when she spamcasts?) and I read the CYOA moderately thoroughly

I ate this >>96895690 anon btw.

>>96895033

>Debating using an animated background for my CYOA (...again)

https://www.pond5.com/stock-footage/item/74052697-firefly-lights-misty-night-forest-cinemagraph-4k?dd_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F

On an intellectual level, I know it would probably be a bad design choice, and even the minor movement here would distract from the main content.

And also, I would probably have to tinker a lot to figure out how to set an MP4 as a background in ICC (not natively supported and probably a huge pain if it's even possible), since converting to gif ruins the quality. Plus educate myself on how to edit the video to uniformly decrease brightness/contrast and make it a little more background-suitable.

And also also, I'd have to pay $39. Which is fine, I guess...

But it would be so pretty~!

>>96895842
Oh right, also also also the problem of trying to mess with it and edit things to make it smoothly loop. That's actually the hardest and least realistic part.

Noticed some typos and mistakes, so I cleaned it up. Final Final Build.

>>96895898
>>96895800
I really loved this one. It's a shame BTGanon doesn't do more cyoas in this vein.

>>96895842
This or similar as a background will not distract from anything; it's a nonissue. As far as the difficulty of everything else, it seems like you're excited about the idea and seeking affirmation in doing what you already want to do. Maybe you could find a way to make your own graphic, which would be much more interesting and cheap. Any fresh approach should be welcomed here
>>96895908
it truly is

>>96895916
I already stitched together my own choice border graphic from a few different sources (which looks very nice in-situ, imo!); will probably also create a semi-transparent "choice background" to apply to each choice; still not sure on the style I'll go with there.

A whole detailed picturesque page background is probably beyond my ability to create though (at least in a timely manner), but cost isn't a huge issue since $39 is pretty cheap. I did find some other quite nice mp4s that DO loop, so I guess it's just a matter of firmly deciding for myself if that's really the direction I want to go in - probably need to play around with the sample quite a bit after all the other CSS elements are in place.

>>96895842
>>96895916
Perhaps you could use some animated images for choices too. This one I think has always been uniquely charming

>>96895033
Dawn of a Planeswalker, Celt's Comfy Trailer, Living God, Time Stop Chill Zone, Last of the Omega Lords
Honorable mention: essence meta cyoa

>>96895696
The Underground is taken over by The Nightmare, which is the combination of the dead-but-not-dead True Dragons Vtorusha killed's Dream, along with the Eternal Curse that Xian created. It's empowered by other dreams, and the Old Throne basically dumps deleted timelines into dreams straight into the Underground. The Nightmare is a vague curse field, but also tangible monstrosities. The Nightmare can also be harvested with magic to create life directly, as Thaumiel does. Other lore tells us that Dreams are burgeoning, unaware Divinity that ever mortal experiences and produces, meaning the Nightmare is basically a bunch of twisted insane godlings who got messily deleted from reality trying to reassert their godhood and creating a corruption and monster plague.

>>96895962
Oh I'm definitely considering it, that IS natively supported in ICC and you do see it semi-frequently in interactive CYOAs

Only issue there is consistency; one animated gif in a sea of static would look bad, so it'd need to be a whole section or type of choice that's animated - and adding an animated requirement makes the image search 10x harder. Definitely under consideration, though!

How do you improve visual design for a cyoa?

Isn't absorption cold&heat infinite energy ?

>>96896801
I noticed that too, yeah. It's weird.

>>96896867
Maybe it only take energy that isn't at body temperature until it is?

>>96896694
Intangability is a bit overpowered here like it's both the ultimate defense and the ultimate attack as you can just phase trough attacks and "delete" matter

>>96896801
A lot of powers would technically be infinite energy as you would just need to create more energy than you consume so any super strength, conjuration, moving things with powers and anything else that adds energy to the system could theoretically create infinite energy

>>96896978

Plan: Complicated
I could see Charlotte just as easily wanting to Lay Low or Fight. Maybe even Search For Answers. Jacob and Nathan would both clearly prefer to Fight so depending on how Charlotte goes I can see her and Nathan butting heads. Charlottes ability being the most likely way for us to get money to survive might also rub them the wrong way. I'd push to stick together so you could lump that in as Join Others which wouldn't be a problem with Sarah and honestly I don't think Charlotte would run off on her own despite how she comes off. Again, Nathan and Jacob might go their own way as their goals are definitely in line with each other. Nathan would just see it as another arc in his story probably wouldn't have a doubt in his mind that we would see eachother again, some day.

>>96896884
Why would I want the power to make things more comfy for my enemies? If you can't absorb heat until they freeze then it is quite useless.

>>96896906
More in the sense of infinite energy to empower yourself with.

The core of the build is Intangibility, which is a perfect defense against all physical attacks, a form of traversal and with I1, the ability to telefrag any physical object. This gets even stronger when Flash Step is added to it so I can jump from person to person and telefrag their brains and hearts as needed, even through objects or inside vehicles (remember that I have Sighting I1 to see through objects). Prescient Reflexes let me do this reflexively, and if I get hurt somehow I have Fast Healing and Regeneration to back it up. My only weakness is mental attacks, which Defence closes off neatly.

In the Center I pretend to only have the Peak Body, Fast Healing and Regeneration series while secretly training my Intangibility and Flash Step (Regeneration helps a lot with building confidence; you can take more risks when you know you can recover from them).

Revelation: The Test
Decision: Stay
Loyalty: Practical
Role: Field Agent

I'll probably be partnered with Alice as her backup, sharing rooms (and beds) on field operations. Our first mission will most likely be Scott, who actually did escape (since I didn't report it; but nobody has to know that).

I mainly value my freedom, but the perks (and not being hunted!) are hard to pass up. The end goal is to build up resources to either make a break for it or to act as a kingmaker when the forces seeking to destroy the Facility show up.

>>96895989
A CYOA is essentially a design document. In a design document, you want to clearly and concisely convey your ideas to be easily digestible for others, to minimize the possibility of them getting lost. The exact same is true for a CYOA. You could have an amazing premise with great mechanics, but if your audience's eyes glaze over the moment they look at the sheet, you've failed the most crucial step as a designer: hooking your audience. No matter how cool your idea is, if you can't catch people's interest with it, it's already dead in the water.

Slightly tweaked my old build to go Pyromancy instead of Cryomancy since there's no heat limit the way there is a cold limit. Also, multiplayer. Otherwise it's the same thing though, generate tons of heat, absorb it and use it to boost my powers to the heavens. As for dealing with the Facility, I'm probably going to have to rely on super luck and precognition to carry me.

The link power makes no sense tho

>>96897704
Medieval path cyoa is cool and all, but I sort of wish we had more explicit occult magic in it. "People who cross you die suspiciously" isn't good enough.

>>96897742
He was probably aiming for a low-fantasy setting which works for me. I wouldn't mind a more obviously magical version, though.

>>96897742
>>96897751
It's based on Game of Thrones type fantasy realism. The repute and hearsay is part of the magic. Magic is an air, or an aura, much like religion or mysticism. "The more effortless the sorcery appears, the more men fear the sorcerer". Ignorance is a tool, a weapon.

>>96897761
Makes sense. I did get a GOT vibe from a lot of the high end political options, but I like that it also covered adventures to exotic locales and choosing to settle down with a quiet lifestyle if you wanted.

>>96897761
Hey matterfag.

>>96897725
What does Organic Response do for you again?

>>96897772
"Waaah, someone understands what magic actually is, waaah, it must be matterfaggot again, waaah"

>>96897704
Well you essentially abandoned your family for over 10 years without visiting once of course they would be pissed

If you think Magic™ is more magical (..."magical") than "magic", then you're sadly mistaken, and don't understand the psychology of it all.

>>96897779
Lets me calm myself down at will so my poweers don't go haywire. Also it's just nice to be able to be happy on command.

>>96897624
>Why tf did people praise this AI goyslop cyoa
This, but Entropist.

>>96897720
Every single time I remember Thot Patrollers when I see this cyoa.

>>96897787
For the commoner origin, they literally kicked you out for your sister and for the noble origin, you're a spare (and thus useless).

>>96897796
That's actually a great use for it.

>>96897781
Man I'm good at this. Not to say that you're particularly hard to spot of course.

>>96897729
>The link power makes no sense tho
I think its based on Sympathy magic from the Kingkiller Chronicle books.

>>96897807
Your nose fails you but your eyes appear to be fine.

>>96897814
Yeah but as it's written it's a bit weird. Even a fraction of a house's weight should kill a person.

>>96897800
>Thot Patrollers
Is that a tok build?

>>96897835
If it's 0.01% that shouldn't actually be that much.

>>96897875
Depends on the building and construction materials.

>>96897804
The new heir ending doesn't punish you it welcomes you quite nicely, but the coldness ending makes sense as pretty much abandoned your siblings to your abusive parents, pretty much everyone died and only your little sister who barely remembers you and had to survive all on her own was left so there wasn't going to be a happy reunion

>>96897674
The author said the total storyline will take place over the course of a single year. No more. Waiting to Level Up is for chumps. Get to Level 6 NOW.

>>96897906
>Get to Level 6 NOW.
That only gives you 15 points to spend total

>>96897906
Level 6 with S1000 stats in everything is actually hella strong. But where do you go from there, Spirit Fire bullshittery? try to go for max grind?

>>96897927
Level 6 + Realis Phrase would be a great way to powerlevel.

>>96897875
1/10^4 = 0.01%
According to chat gpt an average house weighs 250,000 kg
2.5e5/10^4 = 25kg
The average person weighs between 50 and 80 kg or something
So it would increase their weight by a large and noticable amount, but not instantly kill them

It is probably more then that though, and if it were even 1% it would kill

Although this estimate is based on a modern house with a concrete foundation, and many medieval houses were simple wood structures. You would want something larger, like a very large rock

>>96897674
There are cheats if you are slightly familiar with the setting. With metamagic and raise you should be able to create enchantments that raise your level by one and above.

>>96897560
we don't talk about the dlc

>>96897959
I just want a build that lets me humiliate and kill Bete

>>96895636
All quest rewards are instant upon taking them and also somehow used to reserve powers for the future? It's one or the other.

>>96898019
Bel's plot armor is too strong, you'll probably get genderbent and becomes part of his harem.

>>96898046
I mean Bete the wolf faggot. I don't have any particular animosity towards Bell besides him being the ultimate herbivore.

>>96897906
From another angle, that means Bell was able to reach his current power in under a year. You can probably do better.

>>96897906
>The author
The author of what? Because if it's the anime/manga author then his word is worth less than trash here.

>>96898072
His word has value to those who value it
Also, who's "Here"? I gave you no consent to speak on my behalf

>>96898114
Only retards value the words of the author once the product has already been turned into something else.
>Also, who's "Here"?
"Here" is a location, not an individual. And you have no more authority than the original author either.

Redditors are subhumans should all be purged from the face of the planet.

Is Fated Shot the most energy efficient preparation friendly offensive method in CC? You can craft magical bullets in advance so you don't have to spend RE on creating energy bullets or enhancing regular ones. Depending on how fast the bullet is, how fast the guy you're shooting is, and how skillful FSD makes you you might not even have to spend RE on guiding the bullet to its target either. In which case you can attack people while using little to no RE or stamina.

With something like ACIT on the other hand, you can't prepare your fire in advance, it'd consume whatever you tried to contain it with or otherwise be a constant drain on RE. It's something you have to make and use on the spot. Not energy efficient or preparation friendly.

Why are Fated Shot jobbers still coping about ACIT?

>>96896899

>>96898635
Not so fast. People can dodge bullets at RE-06, or earlier with the right methods. If you don't have Weapon God Physique or Fated Shot, hitting them is going to be a struggle even if you have bullets that can outspeed them. You can't use guns as a crutch forever. Jobbers still lose if they fall behind in their cultivation.

Guns should become outdated at RE2, 6 is way too late for the most common and easy to use weapon to automatically kill you.

Okay, so now you can dodge bullets at RE5 instead of 6. Still way too late

Vermillion is the strongest as it accelerates your cultivation.
Bone-Scrivening reinforces the body and covers any potential weaknesses or gaps in your skill set, and has immense synergy with the blood sea/skull throne.
Akashic greatly increases your ability to multitask, increases your intelligence, guards against mental attacks, makes you nigh impossible to kill, and is a more presentable form of cultivation for when you need to hide your identity.

Which would mean standard rifle rounds. Also it doesn't clarify how difficult it is to go up each stage. Besides that, just don't be a scrub and remember the survival onion, even if it's something more intended for armored vehicles. Don't be there. If you are there, don’t be seen. If you are seen, don’t be targeted/acquired. If you are targeted/acquired, don’t be hit. If you are hit, don’t be penetrated. If you are penetrated, don’t be killed.

What do you think a farm is, retard?
If you're too lazy to set up your own lost legacy time accelerated farm, just buy slaves from the Bazaar.

>>96898758
The time acceleration doesn't work if cultivators are in the area, so what are you going to farm? Mortals? Regular animals? Vermillion works by stealing power from things you kill and mortals are pretty much powerless. You'd advance slow as fuck if you only farm mortals

Alright then, the 10x time acceleration is always on, it's only the 1000x time acceleration that doesn't work with cultivators. Using LL to farm mortals for Vermillion is still a waste of time. You would need some specialized sacrificial species made for stuff like this to get anywhere

>>96898851
Not only that but his argument remains completely retarded because you get at minimum 2 methods and they all stack. He's just obsessively repeating this disingenuous position of his.
>>96898924
You've spent several threads blogging about it and you remain wrong. Time for your meds.

I once again would like to remind everyone that all the methods are explicitly roughly equal.

>>96898958
>this method gives you a stick
>this method gives you a planet cracker
>these are unbalanced? uh well all methods are roughly equal so dont worry about it

>>96898934
No, you don't. Even in a lot of cultivation stories the basis of conflict is acquiring resources. Conflict itself is not guaranteed to be part of cultivation.

>>96898956
>no argument
No, I'm exactly right. Trying to make a farm for Vermillion, a mortal farm especially, is retarded unless you're doing it on massive scales and timeframes. Either focus on killing zombies, use the Hunting Ground, or paint a massive target on your back hunting other cultivators, don't try to game it with a dumbass plan.

>>96898967
More like both methods are explicitly planet crackers, and yet one retard keeps trying to argue one of them is actually a stick for some reason.

Vermillion Verses + Dick Devourer + Abandoned Beast
Kill and eat the beast to gain its power and instantly become strong

So, people keep talking about over/underpowered methods, but what about method combinations/synergies? What do you all think of combining similar methods, such as Stone-Titan and Living Forge, vs using wildly different methods such as Heavenly Celestial and Path of Metamorphosis?

>>96899111
Generally I prefer combining methods so you can capitalise on your strenghts more effectively.

Since we’re on the subject, how would you begin cultivating Thousand Venoms? I know the normal xianxia way is kinda dumb and based on eastern nonsense, but given this is a roughly modern post-apocalyptic world I feel like the definition of poison is pretty fucking expansive. Poison is the dose and all that. Can I start with alcohol poisoning? Down a barrel of TCE? Lick a stick-proof pan for some PFAS? Venom is a bit tricker, admittedly.

>>96899050
Take protagonist aura and you can get a bloodline almost as good as the primordial one for free.

>>96899111
I take one energy gathering and one body refinement method because I like the versatility. Something like Forge and Akashic comes to mind. Taking 2 Body methods is acceptable but taking 2 Energy methods seems like a very stupid idea.

>>96899046
>one of them is actually a stick for some reason

>>96899225
>just sit there TANKING all the enemies attacks
>once theyre exhausted and out of RE beat them to death with your bare hands
offensive artifacts unnecessary.

>>96899221
You're a malnourished twink without a body refinement method. That anon will tank your faggotry and then pound your boypussy.

>>96899144
I think it might depend on the energy methods, if one wanted to double down on them Akashic and Celestial comes to mind, in that they both can end up abandoning the body entirely. That said I wouldn't take a second energy method unless I could get four methods, even then it would be Verdant, which is about as close to a body refining method as any of the energy gathering methods get.

>>96899221

>>96896634
Man, I wish this was bigger.
>Origin
Danger. Perks are good and this origin is more like living a normal life until it happened.

>Form
Demonic. I am a demon hybrid, my form is demonic. Like Dante's Sin devil trigger.
>Devil arms
Vulcan. Fire. Range. Weight. Shield. Also suits my demon form and its like the form of melee attack in Infamous second son, and it was dope.
Apolyon. One arm has the chain, another arm has the glove of destruction. Even more destruction than the chain, against demons you need power.
I imagine my demon form is purple, with one arm red because of Vulcan and one blue because of Apolyon.
>Perks
Strength. It fits my brutal fighting style, plus it will make the weaker ones fodder and let me fight the strong ones. Plus my human form will need it.
Celerity. What is better than strength? Speed.
Trigger Heart. Not having a time limit is kinda something necessary as it ending means death. Also, if it works like in DMC, while I am in demon form I don't age, so not having a time limit with this form means while I am alone and/or fighting I can take the demon form to prolong my life.

>Talents
Skill. Master anything faster is great, being accustomed to my demonic form is great, and getting more moves with the devil arms is even greater.
Restoration is also a must have. Not only I can heal people but its a form to survive in human form if taken by surprise. And having a super strong, quick, tireless, skilled demon with two strong weapons fight you is bad, but that same demon having regeneration is the stuff of nightmares.
And the last is Air Raid. By text you are able to fly without it, but with it you have better flight and better strength. So even more strength is good.
>Hexes
Soul steal. I want to stop those demons and is typical that they can't die, just return to hell. WIth this, they do stop being a problem. Plus it can create more devil arms and also could potentially let me trade souls for power as the being of the start says

>>96899111

They're quite similar, actually. Heavenly Celestial harmonizes all things. Path of Metamorphosis transforms into all things. They both express the theme of "all things" through their own way.

>>96898758
>>96899025
The original Anon is right, you know. Vermillion is the worst method. Unless you are saying all kills are equal. In which case it's the best and most overpowered method. If all kills are the same, then farming RE-01 zombies when you are RE-05 or higher is more efficient than fighting enemies of equivalent power at RE-05. If all kills are equivalent (even though the CYOA literally says that you are thieving RE through murder), then someone at RE-08 wanting to hit RE-09 just needs to stay in the tutorial zone and continue farming RE-01 zombies until he gains immortality. If this is the case, by the way, the author is a braindead retard, and Vermillion actually would be the best option to pick, since you just need a zombie farm to grind on, since a RE-01 Zombie would give the same benefit as killing a RE-09 Reaper Death Lord. So outside of that, assuming that you thieving away RE-01 tiers of power only results is RE-01 tiers of power being gained, it's the worst method bar none.

>>96900727
WOG says >>96890000

>>96900741
So the author is a retard. All killing is the same? Ok, then Vermillion is the best method, hands down. Just farm zombies and any RE-01 enemy infinitely and boom you're transcendent immortal God tier lol. Pretty awesome. I should make a build.

>>96900745
Did you not read the thing or what?

>>96900753
Oh, my bad, so it's the worst method imaginable, since you scale with what you kill, and all of Anon's original criticisms remain true. Gotcha.

>>96900689

>>96900745
>shes still going

>>96900689
>Heavenly Celestial harmonizes all things.
It doesn't. It's about balance and equilibrium, and describes it in the context of two opposing energies related to the method. That isn't all things, it's two things that used together stabilize your power.
>Path of Metamorphosis transforms into all things.
It transforms randomly, not into all things, into random things. At the peak of the method it allows one to adapt to anything, but it doesn't get described as all things. It's a path you can take in any direction, not in every direction. I'm not saying you can't take the two of them to express a theme of all things, but it's not such a clear theme as you are suggesting.

>>96900764
You just have to spend your days fighting things of similarish cultivation for Vermillion to be good. Dharma Weapon, Weapon God Physique, Artifacts/Consumables, etc. can let you punch above your weight class so you can almost always beat anything of equivalent or even greater cultivation. Capturing a bunch of zombies for the intermediate-tier blood rituals sounds like a hassle though.

Overall despite anons scathing critique of Vermillion it's not that bad.

>>96900764
> There are a lot of undead around though, and they can cultivate/mutate/grow stronger, so I wouldn't imagine that'll be much of a problem. It would be kind of silly for a Method to be useless for no reason.

>>96900745
>>96900764
Matterjeeta...

the four fastest methods are machine, forge, venom, and vermillion
if you disagree youre retarded and didnt read the cyoa

>>96900819
You are correct, actually, but I'm talking about the method itself and why the method is worse than other methods. Assuming all things are equal any other method would be a superior choice with less stipulations and hoops to jump through.
>>96900829
>It would be kind of silly for a Method to be useless for no reason.
>for no reason
>FOR NO REASON
There is a reason. You lacking optimal targets to sustain the efficiency is the reason your method would be worse. Vermillion scales based on what you kill. The argument that it's still equivalent to every other method therefore is false because it is dependent on you killing equivalent or stronger enemies to scale to higher levels. Therefore, if you are RE-05 you will need to find RE-05 tier opponents to grind in order to efficiently reach RE-06. Why? Because farming RE-01 zombies is inefficient and will not keep up with the other methods. So in practice your efficiency with Vermillion is going to be much lower than the efficiency of using any other method, thereby making it the worst choice.
>>96900808
>>96900840
Obsessed.
>>96900855
First three sure, last one no.

Yep, its matterjeet.

>>96900883
Why do you assume it's difficult to find strong opponents? Every settlement is bound to have multiple cultivators, and undead are abundant. Finding fights isn't the risky part of the method, it's winning them, which it helps you do.

>>96900900
Nah, there's no way he'd actually play a cyoa that isn't black magic.

>>96900883
>There are a lot of undead around though, and they can cultivate/mutate/grow stronger, so I wouldn't imagine that'll be much of a problem.

>so I wouldn't imagine that'll be much of a problem.
>so I wouldn't imagine that'll be much of a problem.

>>96900855
Not sure if I would count Thousand Venom Texts. Throwing yourself into radioactive goop is only the first and easiest layer, the other four layers can't be sped up and will be no faster than any other Method.

I also wouldn't count Forge, at least for the first few levels. The desc literally says that you advance slowly with rapid spurts of power at the end of a stage, and then goes on to reiterate how slow it is multiple times. You slowly transmute your bones with metal, slowly replace your flesh, and slowly refine your body into a greater state. Having the materials on hand through Lost Legacy doesn't make the slow absorption of them any faster.

But I agree with Machine and Vermillion. Machines advancement is entirely based on your implants, as long as you can make those quickly you'll breeze through the levels. And Vermillion just needs you to kill a lot of things quickly to advance, even at early levels if you invest in a gun or big AOE weapons like bomb talismans then you should advance quickly.

>>96900920
Nah its definitely her.

the horror...

what are some good settings to use with Laboratorium's "fill in the blank" options? I really like the cyoa but I have next to no media background for that kind of thing

>>96900927
The cultivating, mutating, and growing stronger portion is in reference to your second or third method chosen, not Vermillion itself, because in order to cultivate with Vermillion you must do so through the thievery of murder. So that sentence doesn't mean what you said it means, and it is also ignoring the following clause that it requires a reason. Not only I, but multiple Anon's have provided that very reason.
>>96900918
That's actually my argument. Why do you assume you will be able to find strong opponents that you can fight at an equal or just strong enough level for you to battle against? You don't have the same amount of RNG to run into only the perfect match-ups. Let us say that you are RE-4. You have a much greater chance to run into floods of RE-01 Zombies and a much smaller chance to run into the perfect RE-05 boss that is perfect for your level. What is stopping you as a RE-04 from running into a RE-08 monster that one-shots you when you were trying to find other RE-05 or RE-06 enemies? Vermillion is the worst method because it is suboptimal when you don't have the perfect enemies to grind on, and it assumes far too much plot armor and RNG to be effective. Even if you take the stronger options your same build would work better if you chose literally any other method in that same exact scenario with those same exact options. It's the worst method by a long shot and it isn't even close.

I never really liked the magic choices on this that much. Except chronomancy. Which is busted as fuck. Like holy shit, time stop and save slots? Though at that point the 30 minute cooldown on time stop is actually just annoying more than anything.
It's not really making you less powerful or nerfing the ability because it's unrelated to the fucking four save slots you get which will be used instead of time stop. It's just making the half of you power irritating to use.
If you're gonna hand out an absurdly OP ability like that why not go all in on it?

The rewards having the option to go back to earth and teach magic is also kinda weird because it's like 'spread magic to the world' when most of these powers have a handful of very discrete abilities, they're not magic systems or anything. Not even sure what having multiple chronomancers running around crossing time streams would look like frankly.

>>96901069
>Not only I, but multiple Anon's have provided that very reason.
You mean you've samefagged multiple times and ignored anons that told you that you're retarded so you can keep spamming the same shit.

>>96900937
Forge is slow if you don't have the materials necessary to progress. Read the entry again. If you have something like Legacy you can speedrun your cultivation.

>>96901351
Projection. Never happened.

>>96901360
Legacy is strong. Forge > Machine.

>>96901265
This guy gets one shot by any decent build btw

>>96901058
I will discuss the cyoa if you post it. It's like 2 pages long, anon. Surely you can do it, right?

>>96901360
No, it's slow even with materials.
>The first of these forms the foundations for the rest of the Method, as the cultivator slowly transmutes their bones with metal, forming an anvil for their soul to hammer onto.
>The intermediate stages focus on reforging this new body countless times. In the process, impurities are forced out like slag as the pracitioner is slowly refined into the perfect state for the next step of this Method.
You still have to transmute and reforge yourself countless times to actually advance, in processes explicitly stated to be slow. You're still way faster than a guy without easy access to materials obviously, but Forge isn't a fast Method at all. Very few of the other Methods actually go out of their way to state how slow they are like Forge does.

>>96901346
>save slots?
Thanks for informing me of this. I always thought it was trash because I saw 10 seconds of time stop where you can't interact with anything and a 30 minute cooldown between each time stop and didn't bother finishing it.
This is why you're supposed to read everything before forming an opinion.

>>96901501
Going back to our reality means having modern standards of living. Who cares about getting to have some magic tricks when you're too busy shitting your guts out from dysentery or starving with everyone else in a drought or famine?
Also, did you just skim over Real Fantasy or what

>>96901501
Real Fantasy makes magic available in our reality. But you still lose all the infrastructure, history, people, etc. for magic in the Continent, so it's a bad trade for developing your own magic.

>>96901434
I think it's slow in the sense that you progressively change the more metals you consume. Even if you're completely right and it is the slowest progression of all methods, it still supersedes the others in speed because you can brute force the insights with the right materials. Essentially, you won't bottleneck as often as the other methods so progression might be slower but it is constant.

>>96901462
Honestly the Magical Drawing is pretty similar. It's like 'you have the ability to TALK THROUGH A DRAWING!!!', oh and also teleport and make yourself invulnerable I guess. Though it's still not very good, they really front loaded the boring shit.

Chronomancy meanwhile gives you this stop time power which is kinda shit and filled with negatives, and then when it feels like enough people have died of boredom it suddenly pulls out 'oh yeah fucking save system without any downsides or issues at all go fucking nuts'.

It's like two people were in charge of writing this shit, one boring loser who created shitty powers and the other doing their best to salvage it.

Though I actually do think the music power is unironically fine. I'd never pick it over fucking time travel, but it'd probably be my second choice. It seems like it'd create a very chill experience for you as you wander fearlessly around the world because you can just strum your lute and just project friendliness into people or beasts, busking for piles of gold whenever you need it and being generally chill.

>>96901554
>I think it's slow in the sense that you progressively change the more metals you consume.
What do you mean by this?
>Even if you're completely right and it is the slowest progression of all methods, it still supersedes the others in speed because you can brute force the insights with the right materials.
I kind of see what you're getting at, but I think the knowledge LL dumps into your head is just as, if not more important than the materials if you're trying to maximize Insight gain. There's only so much about [insert magical metal here] a person that doesn't know squat about metals or smithing can meditate on.
But at the same time, the CYOA says that Insights aren't something that can be predicted, so I'm not sure if they can be bruteforced. You can increase your chances of getting one, but there's no guarantees.

>>96901554
>>96901799

Decided to do a build since I've been talking about this.

>Chronomancy - The obvious best power.

I plan to abuse save states to experience as much of this world as I can. Mother of Learning is a webnovel about something similar, and it gives me fun ideas.

>Gifts

Satchel
Adventurer Mantle
Lute

I quite like the gifts. None of them are *that* incredible - I should pick things suited for my power, but chronomancy is kinda beyond most of these - but they're interesting.

I just took the satchel so I can always have my possessions on me when savescumming and the Mantle for it's sense boosting. Since I have to manually load saves hearing an attack coming is pretty fucking important. Also eyes of a falcon sounds neat.

Gift 3 *should* be the Universal Key. A 66% chance of not working means nothing to a savescummer. Also unlocking anything and reloading if caught would make for the perfect thief, spy etc.
But eh, who cares? Being an amazing musician sounds more fun. Also the key could draw unwanted attention and I'm not a subtle man.

>Location - Ophiacre
Don't see any reason not to start in Generica. The fact this place has the Supreme Observatory where I might potentially be able to learn magich elps.

>Quest - None
So yeah. All your rewards suck. After a life time of living in the new world, why would I care about going back to the old one? Or wealth: if you have time travel and can't figure out wealth you deserve poverty.
This is unironically one of the times where immortality should have been an option. Then I'd care. Take the compass gift and the doll maybe, but otherwise no thanks.

Posting another similar CYOA.

>immortality
Stopped reading there. Immortalityfags are a blight on cyoag.

>>96901932
So you read 95% of the build then stopped?

>>96895898
>>96895908
Your character look like Miles Teller for some reason. But more edgy and philosophical.

Antiquity gives you a better chance at actually surviving and achieving your goals too. You should perhaps ally with the Brujah, they seemed more based back then. Also what will you name your bloodline?

Your antediluvian seem less like an ass too, maybe they can offer you some legitimacy and support from the clan? or at least some extra training?

Anyway, nice read and saved.

>>96901944
I think it's just a bot that CTRL + Fs for the word immortality and posts that response whether it makes sense or not.
For my part immortality in return for fulfilling a dangerous quest that will honestly probably kill you by a literal god seems way more suitable than 99% of CYOA.

>>96901945
>You should perhaps ally with the Brujah
They were allied to the Baali back then. You know the whole Carthaginians sacrificing babies to Moloch thing? Yeah in VTM that happened to, only Moloch was a Baali 4th Gen, who was lovers with the 4th/3rd Gen fake Antediluvian Troile.

>>96901921
What in mother of learning gives you good ideas?
The time magic seemed to me like the least explored type of magic in the setting
If bringing notes between worlds isn't nearly making full use of such a power, you get 4 save states

Also, being that you can normally die you wouldn't go through life like that at all. You would be trying to control as much as possible from the shadows and avoid conflict

Oh also what are the good ideas, I do literally want to know

>>96901960
Yikes man, you learn something new every day.

Thought that they were scholars and all but damn.

>>96901996
That's the True Brujah, they were autistic scholars. Their Antediluvian was betrayed and consumed by his childe Troile literally because she didn't understand he was fucking autistic and didn't know how to express love and caught paranoia that he actually hated and was going to kill her. That happened before Carthage. So Brujah by then took the guise of warrior-scholars, but were already a bunch of backstabbers with anger issues that Moloch turned into diabolists. Which is why their grudge against the Ventrue is illegitimate, their "We dindu nuffin" attitude is completely wrong, they did, in fact, do somethin. Consort with fucking demons.

Anons, would you be willing to play my interactive OC?

>>96902051
yea

>>96901973
Admittedly, I'm assuming I can learn the magic of this world. But if so it should be possible to pull a lot of the tricks Zorian did. Even accounting for needing to be more careful.

Stuff like learning from multiple different masters consecutively while promising them each the moon and stars and eternal servitude if need, before popping back in time. From the perspective of everyone else I will be an instant master of every magic I can learn.
If someone has information I need, offer to absurdly overpay or do any task, then just reverse time. Then use what I gained to buy information from more people!
I'm not a superspy or anything like that, but I'm sure I could make a friend who could gain a lot from receiving next year's news today. I'd probably just say I had some sort of prescience ability.

If I only had some way of expanding my mind I could even do the 'employ an alchemist to do research, then endlessly hand them their own notes' to improve thing.

>>96902056
Okay, then I will try later.

>>96902016
Diablerie was always a mistake. Impossible to trust any vampire at all with that shit.

>>96901828
Do you mean auxiliary techniques? Lost Legacy is just treasure.

>>96902129
Oh shit I got that wrong too. People have been talking about the combo so much I conflated them both into the same option. Oops.

>>96901932
Imagine wanting to die so bad that you get triggered by others not wanting to die

>>96901554
Bottle necks aren't an issue for many builds.

>>96902139
I pick the girl driving me.

>>96902146
And that's the real cost of crafting IMO. Two of your three GIs go to non-combat choices. It's VERY good with Forge or Machine, but it isn't the end all be all either.

>>96902139
What's stopping Emi from going murder route if you don't pick her?

>>96902171

Dreamwalker actually has enormous synergy with Path of Metamorphosis once you reach "Perfect Lifeform" and can adapt to esoteric phenomena.

>>96902164

>>96897663
Here you go little bro

>>96902235
Artifacts and tech don't count as combat, silly
Only methods and GIs focused on nothing but combat count as combat options

>>96902235
*Sigh* what superweapons?
Both GIs have combat potential but it isn't direct like Void Body or Dharma Weapon for example.

>>96902139
Veronica Gadov

Nice person. Nice drugs.

>>96902253
Reverse engineer the Lotus Bomb. Use your tulpa as a kamikaze attack. Defeat enemies much stronger than you, including the Corpse Lord and the Incursion Dragon, rather easily.

>>96902272
Lotus Bomb is made of RE. Good luck being able to mass produce them with the enormous energy it takes to make one. Not to mention the chance it goes boom when you mess with it.

>>96902115
And to think, Caine thought the thinning of blood would somehow STOP vampires from betraying their Sires, when instead it just created the Diablerie motivation. He can't do anything right.

>>96902294
Is Caine stupid?

>>96902300
He is the origin of the African "Warrior Gene", so what do you think?

>>96901703
>Though I actually do think the music power is unironically fine. I'd never pick it over fucking time travel, but it'd probably be my second choice.

Music was my first pick because I was in it for a comfyish adventure returning the doll and making friends across the continent during my travels, but after seeing chronomancy's save slots I think that's a close second.

>>96902307
>the African "Warrior Gene"

>>96902288
Neither of those are an issue if you have AT and LL tho?

>>96902314
Dindus have a gene that makes them prone to violence. Caine was the first dindu.

Rake comments from the Verboten Domain:
>Insight is basically just comprehension, or Dao, or whatever you want to call it. It's not really something that can be stolen from others, any more than one can steal enlightenment. Trying to comprehend conflicting or conceptually dissimilar Insights at the same time would naturally lead to Inner Demons and Deviations as a consequence of using differing Methods, unless the Method tied them together in some way, I suppose. You should think of Insight here as a literal reframing of the mindset, not just another resource to use in cultivation.

>Methods aren't uniquely tailored to anyone. They are, essentially, just knowledge that can be shared. The reason they aren't widespread in most xianxia settings is that they're difficult to parse without a teacher and people want to hoard that knowledge for themselves. That's the same reasons here.

>It's not explicitly stated, but if you think it's reasonably expectable that you can help others with your Methods, then go ahead. It is your "adventure" after all, lol. You could technically teach your companions your Method, but that's time-consuming and likely not going to be useful. They'd have to switch from their old one to yours, and that would mean having to comprehend Insights all over again. They can only have one at a time as well.

>>96902318
Okay let's say you have both GIs describe the process of reverse engineering the lotus bomb and mass producing it? Reminder that it is a completed artifact so it is ineligible for duplication by the spliced tree.

>>96902328
>only reason methods arent common is shitty instruction and everyone being a hoarding bastard
earth going from land of free information to another chinkslop dystopia will be sad to see

>>96902348

>>96902343
Use forge to absorb, refine and analyze it. Use Essence Furnace to break it into it's components, then use spliced tree to duplicate them.
I think you just lack imagination, anon

>>96902300
Yes, but also he was cursed by the overgrown Celestine of Wormwood to face constant betrayals and strife just like Lilith was, so while he IS stupid, he's also cursed to just have bad shit happen no matter what he does.
>>96902314
Anon is dragging up real world race politics that have nothing to do with our conversation because he's subhuman.

>>96902343
NTA but AT should include Lotus Bomb esque knowledge. The real problem is getting enough RE in a small yet somewhat stable package that detonates in the right conditions. Maybe drain a bunch of the spirit stones LL gives you for it.

>>96902241
Monster seems appealing simply because it opens another avenue of power to you.

>>96902364
Forge gives no indication that absorbed artifacts can be analyzed. Even if you could the most important component is pure energy which the tree can't dupe for what I hope are obvious reasons.

>>96902362
unironically yes. i get news about anything of note beamed into my living room and i can receive education on any subject imaginable often for free. personally ive been learning some electrical engineering stuff from a textbook, some email newsletter i signed up to years ago, and googling anything that confused me.

I'm not quite sure, honestly. That seems like putting the cart before the horse though, you need something to exist before you can name it.

>Your antediluvian
As in... Haqim himself? Or are you mixing that up with my sire? Haqim should still be active, but I don't think he'd be happy with my plans. Or maybe he would, depends on how you interpret him.

>You should perhaps ally with the Brujah
I've always bee suspicious of them... nobody talks about how nice they that much if they aren't actually horrible.

>>96902374
Anons plan to refine and dupe spirit stones might actually be good for something after all.

>>96902328
>to learn a method you need insights
>methods can be taught to anyone
>therefore, insights can be taught to anyone
I don't get it, you need to convince everyone to have your exact mindset to use your methods? Wtf even is insight

>>96902403
>insight
The Dao

>>96902381
Use forge to create a technique that analyzes artifacts. Honestly this is a natural extension of itself abilities since a forge user can utilize the abilities of all artifacts they absorb. It stands to reason that they could reach a higher level of understanding by absorbing it, but even without that if you have AT then you can analyze the Lotus Bomb anyway.
Spirit Stones are essentially crystalized RE, you're acting like RE is incapable of taking physical form which just isn't true. For all we know the Lotus Bomb has physical components too, which can be deconstructed and duplicated. If you need a source of RE you can use the godly spirit stones you have on the LL and you can use the spliced tree to duplicate those.
This argument is exhausting because you seem deadset in arguing that a crafter build cannot duplicate a artifact even when they have both the knowledge and materials necessary.

>>96902385
Would you mind enlightening us of nuke codes and other military secrets? They are the equivalent of xianxia techniques in our world.

any good anti-slaver cyoa?

>>96902403
Enlightenment or even knowledge isn't the same thing as data. Some things can't be taught. You can send a soldier to boot camp but it doesn't fully prepare him for the reality of true life or death combat.

>>96902051
Honestly it depends if it's about something I like, or at least tolerate. But this goes for every kind of CYOA, not just interactives.

>>96901535
heaven forbid you play the way you want

>>96902413
I didn't say you couldn't "duplicate an artifact" I said mass duplicating a particular single use artifact would be prohibitive. If you want to waste spirit stones to make lotus bombs go right ahead. I still think so much as scanning it would cause it to detonate but you do you. Become an industrial scaled wartime economy in a shonen like setting if you want. It's still not a direct combat choice.

>>96902433
Why do you hate anime franchise more than shitpost meme CYOAs?

>>96902462
Because I do not watch anime. How can I enjoy a CYOA I'm illegally barred from enjoying?
While sometimes a shitpost meme cyoa on the other hand might get a laugh out of me while I skim through it.

>>96902417
but dont you still need like, materials and copious amounts of RE and to survive tribulations and inner demons and all sorts of other shit to actually get anywhere with methods?
even if methods were public knowledge a cultivator would still need to do a lot of shit he couldnt hide to gain any power that could threaten the powers that be. grand inheritances letting you neet it up aren't common things
like the knowledge of how to make a nuke isnt very difficult and the big players can't stop everyone from learning it, but what they can restrict and monitor is the materials and facilities needed to make a nuke. and they've been pretty successful with that, could xianxia land not do the same?

>>96902460
I was never arguing that point, I was simply stating that you could duplicate the lotus bomb to defeat the major threats on earth. Also making the argument that someone with the highest level of knowledge and materials will let the bomb "blow up in their face" just because they analyzed it is profoundly retarded. Making such a nonsensical "you lose" statement just proves the weakness of your argument. You're bending over backwards to deny that my plans could work and doing everything you can to handwave solutions and headcanon issues that don't exist.
This is entirely pointless, so I'll just stop replying.

>>96902417
Yea you can go to some shitty talisman or alchemy shop and learn the basics fairly easily but real secrets that result in real power are closely guarded just like real world military secrets. That said I was always annoyed that MCs wouldn't share even lesser secrets with their friends or when it might be strategic to do so.

>>96902493
I see, I just thought it was weird since you like fantasy, and most anime CYOAs are some kind of fantasy flavor. Sometimes I enjoy anime franchise CYOAs that I'm not familiar with because the CYOA does a good job of explaining the setting and representing its appeal.

>>96902609
Nah, I'd win.

>>96902626
>If craftfag builds are allowed to have some combat viability
Hold on, why wouldnt they have combat viability? Why tf would they be restricted to only making things that cant be used in combat? If you want to nerf craftfags then you either limit their materials or make crafting stuff realistically difficult and time consuming, both things Rake didnt care to do

>>96902626
Holy mother of HEADCANONS

>>96902642
>Why tf would they be restricted to only making things that cant be used in combat?
xianxia conventions

>>96902642
idk, ask anon

>>96902626
It's not an all or nothing thing. Craftfags can make weapons, and pills, and other treasures that offer a real combat edge. It just won't be equivalent to a full combat GI. Anon is grasping at straws with the one artifact that compete by intentionally saying he avoids all the drawbacks that make it balanced (it's single use and dangerous).

>>96902625
Does this have immortality?

>>96902661
So a craftfag can't replicate something that another craftfag made? Is that really your argument? Specially considering that Auxiliary gives you god tier talent, enough to even create something like the dharma weapon eventually. You're grasping at straws.

>>96902661
There's a difference between it being dangerous and it blowing up if he looks at it wrong. I handle explosives irl all the time and I haven't blown myself up yet. Now imagine if I was the greatest genius chemist in the history of the world. Maybe the risks would be lessened even more.

>>96902677
The immortality is the frens and adventures we found along the way.

>>96902680
You are not making a Dharma weapon for several thousand years anon and you aren't going to succeed in copying the Lotus Bomb. But honestly young geniuses who aren't the MC try stupid stuff all the time so go ahead have fun. I am confident you would be a crater.

>the True Brujah, they were autistic scholars. Their Antediluvian was betrayed and consumed by his childe Troile literally because she didn't understand he was fucking autistic and didn't know how to express love and caught paranoia that he actually hated and was going to kill her. That happened before Carthage. So Brujah by then took the guise of warrior-scholars, but were already a bunch of backstabbers with anger issues that Moloch turned into diabolist
Autistic isn't necessarily the way I'd describe the original Troile. Rather, the original founder (and the remaining True Brujah) had the opposite flaw to regular Brujah. Rather than fly into rages at the slightest provocation, they find it hard to care about anything, growing colder and more detached.

If anon wants to "reverse engineer" it he is going to have to do more than handle it. If I was a DM I actually would let him find a way to do it safely but only after an enormous investment of time and resources to do so. There is no indication the lotus bomb scales past Earth either.

I think understanding the mechanism behind would not be particularly hard, but replicating the coditions would definitely be more of a problem. Besides, understanding how the Lotus Bomb works opens a lot more possibilities, you could use the same principles to manipulate RE for easier cultivation or create smaller and less resource intensive bombs.
I honestly think the whole idea of "nah, you just can't do it" is just stupid.

At that level most cultivators will most certainly have a way of surviving mundane stuff like that.

Shit cyoa. Weaklings.

>>96902804
Shadow and Codex can just sidestep it. Verdant and Titan can fuck off underground or tank/regenerate from it. ACIT is immune to heat and can burn your missile to ashes. Frost can literally stop time. Forge has a thousand different defensive artifacts just for nukes specifically... and I could go on.
You techfags really are retarded and without imagination.

>>96902793
Anon should have said RE 8 at RE 9 you become resistant to ALL conventional explosives.

Let's break it down, here is 3 reasons Vermillion sucks and Machine is the best...

I SMELL HEADCANON

>>96902913
Kek it really is techsissys seething at Vermillion Verses

>>96902838
>Shadow and Codex can just sidestep it.
True actually
>Verdant and Titan can fuck off underground or tank/regenerate from it.
A nuclear fireball is hotter than the core of the sun, and that doesn't even mention the immense pressure and force it produces. Neither of them are tanking it or regenerating from it. Instant death.
>ACIT
A nuke isn't just heat bro, and nukes can be remotely detonated without needing to travel on a missile. Given how nuclear blasts can be miles in diameter it just needs to be kind of close to the target to shred him to bits
>Frost
Would only work if he catches it before detonation, a nuclear fireball expands at millions of miles per hour, far outstripping the hypersonic speeds of RE-9s
>Forge
Defensive artifacts aren't specific to the Forge method, and Forge doesn't give you the ability to make them. But Totem of Rebirth can be used to survive a nuke

Only 3(2.5 really, Forge only kinda counts) of the 7 methods you mentioned could survive a nuke, therefore not MOST cultivators could survive it.

>>96902869
>literally makes up a new definition of conventional on the spot
Kekaroo. RE-9s get assraped by nukes

>>96902955
In fiction, they always make technology worse and humans stupid. They are afraid. Afraid that modern tech would be enough to deal with their fantasy bs.

>>96902955
>But Totem of Rebirth can be used to survive a nuke
Depends on the circumstances tbdesu. Totem doesn't move you to a safe spot, it just revives you right where you died. If that was in the middle of the nuke's blast you'd die instantly again.

>>96902713

>NOOOOOO!! MY CHARACTER CAN SURVIVE A NUKE LIKE IT IS NOTHING! HUMANS CAN'T DO SHIT ABOUT HIM!
Your weak bum character was getting cooked alive in the sun. A nuke would have reduced his ass to ash. Sit down, writercuck, and learn about real life.

24 page OC tomorrow.

Vermillion jobs to a nuke. Even if they reality marble the enemy into their blood sea all you have to do is nuke them within it. The intense heat will boil all their blood in the blood sea away leaving them powerless. Not that they'd survive the initial nuke anyway. TechGODS win again.

>>96903019
he lies to us again

>>96903019
is that a french unicorn i see?

>>96903020
A nuke won't even boil an especially large lake, much less a sea. Why do supposed "techgods" suck so much at understanding basic physics and things like the thermal capacity of water?

>>96903019
Both of those girls remind me of Aromage.

Right is nice friendly Aromage.

>>96903165
if ammo wasn't an issue I'd pick a machine gun. I CAST FULL AUTO

>>96903145
The image augurs badly but I look forward to seeing whatever the product is. I wish a real adventure would captivate the general for a while. I think something in the vein of A Life Chronicle - slightly more structured and with a less conventional setting, maybe playing with unreliable narration - has the chance to really transform the medium. It would definitely have to be a longer project to step more into the realm of adventure as opposed to character creator

>>96903276
I sort of wonder why some of the higher-effort authors don't do this already. Italics, with his book-length histories, never really strings them into the structure of his choices or plays with a sense of time as far as I can remember. In almost all CYOAs, choices are made from a sort of superposition. It would be good to see deeper branching choices, especially ones that hint at the world beyond the CYOA proper

>>96902955
Everyones all good

I am flying dangerously close to the sun and risking overdesigning my CYOA but I can't stop...

>>96903078
Do you think it will release before, during, or after February 20th 2026?

What was it?

>>96903474
That is normal.

>>96903474
yeah if ya saw real sex slavery you wouldn't want it anymore kiddo

>>96903479
Food! and Pause

>>96903496
I think there are different versions of it, the one I found (v1.2) didn't have Food! anymore. But I definitely took it, it's a great power. I also went with AI Chip and went to the Magus World because that's the powerset and circumstances of that WN's MC.

>>96903296
>sort of wonder why some of the higher-effort authors don't do this already.
Off-hand, I know that Nxtub, Lone Observer, Sylen, and Liminal have all worked with the idea of time passing, with certain possibilities expiring (or becoming available) as you progress through the cyoa.

But yeah, there are definitely cyoas where I could see that working. Not necessarily Italics (although I would like to see him split Pokemon Personified into different cyoas), but others? I could see it working with Scottish Anon's Guardians, for example, showing the different eras of the war. I could also Languid Cicada taking on a project like that.

>>96903503
There's a v1.2?! Even cruxador's archive only has v1.1 https://cruxador.neocities.org.

>>96903450
most people do it just fine i think your a bit sped

>>96902677
I think 2 out of 3 of the classes have explicit immortality and the last one is the mage so they have the highest chance of getting there by themselves.

>>96903088
The optimal build is being BFFs with all the 5-6 points planeswalkers.

>>96903486
>yeah if ya saw real sex slavery you wouldn't want it anymore kiddo
We kind of proved that with the Used Goods cyoa. White knight builds came out of the woodwork to save all the girls.

Some sort of mercenary lifetime contract model might be workable, though. Think the Bene Gesserit of "Dune", or some of our cyoas where the loyalty of companion NPCs is guaranteed as long as (you) treat them well.

>>96903528
I think I messed up, I can only see an unversioned and a v1.1. These are the two versions I'm looking at now.

https://imgchest.com/p/na7kw2mb78d
https://imgchest.com/p/n87wleeqyxd

Yeah, I fucked up. Anyway, here's my build.

>Magus World
The most dangerous of them all, but I'm significantly better equipped than the MC was and arguably have similar levels of plotdevicium powers as him. The Magus World is essentially a western fantasy-themed cultivation world, and rank 8 mages are greater deities in forgotten realms, incidentally. So basically, high risk, high reward, but I'm better positioned to exploit it.

>Sex: Male
>Race: Human
Standard stuff.

>Powers
AI Chip (15k)
Food! (50k)
Pause (35k)
The AI chip is having a supercomputer in your head that can research and calculate shit independently for you, which automatically makes you at least twice as efficient at doing anything. It is, in fact, the secret to the MC's power in Warlock in the Magus World. Just immensely useful. I'd actually take it over Food!, but since I can have both, why not?

Food! is infinitely scaling power and the Magus World has lots of monsters you can eat for powers. Nuff said.

Pause is time control. Gotta love time control. I didn't want to take this at first (because it's cliched) and get Astral and Blood magic instead, but I'm pretty sure I can eat those off a creature.

>Fortunes
Save Point (12k)
Saves me from surprises, gives me do-overs. Arguably better than Klein Phylactery because that one doesn't save you from horrible soul fuckery, and like I said, do-overs.

>Destiny
Privilege (20k)
Me (15k)
MC plot armor and luck is a given and really essential for the Magus World, while I'm perfectly happy with having goddess-chan.

So, progress to rank 9, and spend eternity making out with goddess-chan.

entire clans filled with just one method have a free for all there all rank 4 cultivators who wins

>>96903605
I'm pretty sure I made it my goal to buy as many of the girls as possible to give them better lives.

>>96903474
Considering the characters are meant to be children, it feels a little weird to say what I’m about to say, but you don’t really have to make her anything. Consider the trauma she’s already experienced from her burgeoning sexuality and how that will be amplified by the growing power of a succubus, with all that entails. It isn’t clear if the former adventurer’s personality impacts the current embodiment, but if it does come with memories this girl is going to have some wild porno flashbacks that will put her doujin to shame. She is going to be out of control and you would be wrong to not take control yourself.

>>96903630
Machine. Nuke from tutorial bunker wins it.

Get along, try again

>>96903669
>>96903669

>>96903629
You don't need Save Point. You can Pause indefinitely and eat all Food! :)

Pause is absurdly op. Quasi rank 9 bullshit. Food! maybe doesn't deserve being removed in an update, but Pause definitely does.
