Food and Pause are both so absurdly good you'd be actively nerfing yourself not to take them. Sometimes you just want to experiment with other powers, though.

Nigger-Man time

Whens the Universal War update coming nigga.

HEAR ME NIGGA RELEASEEEEE ITTTTTT

>>96903913
Solved cyoa. Only the age of gods matters.

>>96904187
Thank you for stating the obvious anon

>>96904187
What a boring way to play. Might as well copy paste "teh best build" and never look at the CYOA again.

>>96904187
Then remove this option for yourself and try to solve the cyoa again. There is fun in that.

>>96904276
>willingly gimp yourself
I'm no jobber.

>>96904280
But you also miss on this form of cyoa enjoyment. This is a form of jobbing as well. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Neverever, a worse one than italics on his best day.

Still waiting on my spirit gift for "the world" for i saw the face of god and i know much.

Daily reminder that Vermillion is the worst method.

Only retards would miss out on Omega Psi.

>>96904310
Does Distort make Lasombra have the same tech problems as in the ttrpg? On that note, what's the most convenient bane to deal with?

>>96904309
Nanoswarm is way worse than Machine Empathy, especially since you can just learn fleshwarping.

>>96904325
Bestial I think, since you already don't want the beast to come out.

>>96904310
Ah, perfect. I have just (finally) finished assembling a first draft of my image build...which gets a bit hasty and crowded at the end, as I essentially ran out of pixels. There's quite a lot of stuff to include for this cyoa.

This is an update of Unvampiric Vampire, who now has a name, Thomas Whitmore. In comparison to I think the great majority of builds here it is extraordinarily 'weak,' but I do think it's rather pleasant all the same, comfortable life with vampire wife. And I have the dubious distinction of NOT taking either mind or mind+.

Narrative written from the sire's perspective; I'm always iffy about giving context like that from my own perspective, since if there's no ego death much of it seemingly would inevitably devolve into various forms of "things are like this because I preferred things be like this," which isn't terribly compelling.

>>96904310
Why is Bardo so unpopular?

>>96904325
Cameras at least, yes, but not necessarily microphones. I'd say the most convenient bane depends a lot on your other choices, but distort(especially if away from civilization or with antiquity/back to the ages), painful kiss(w/ bloodbags), Glitter(if you have a reliable way to avoid getting hit in the first place), and Rare Taste(if you're rich, which you should be) are all on the more manageable side.

>>96904292
Open mind+machine calculation is the only combo
Just convince a metaflux user to get you all other forms of psi. Mu psi is the only one that cannot be stolen

There are more then 12 "gods". Loads of them are still hidden under the earth and you explicitly have the technology to make more

>>96904288
Death is better.

>>96904346
>Why is Bardo so unpopular?
Sylen made Golconda overpowered

>>96904346
>Why is Bardo so unpopular?
Can't get it normally, I think only through Nedjem (who realistically shouldn't make it available to you if you're evil), or a double-Knowledgable sire. I believe?

>>96904346
>painful kiss
Making the Kiss painful just feels wrong to me. Agree with the others though. I feel like Righteous might be not too bad either, most vampires aren't going around snacking on each other in any case.

>>96904345
How many image builds is that now? And where's the third eye lol. This is a very funny build to read, you basically wrote out a whole love letter. In all seriousnes, naisu builderu.

>>96904352
>Just convince a metaflux user to get you all other forms of psi. Mu psi is the only one that cannot be stolen
That's way worse. You're relying on having another metaflux user help you, and you'd still be much weaker than an Omega Psi user.
> There are more then 12 "gods". Loads of them are still hidden under the earth
Do we even know that? In the 60 something years since Elspeth woke up only thirteen showed up. Plus you'd still be hoping one of them took metaflux.
> you explicitly have the technology to make more
That takes literal centuries, and if you're doing that it'd make infinitely more sense to just go Omega Psi + Machine Empathy and make infinitely better pods with genesis.

>>96904365
Painful kiss + Righteous is a good combo, since you already targeting evil pieces of shit you might as well make it as unpleasant for them as possible.

>>96904379
>And where's the third eye lol.
Yes, I saw someone else mention that apparently in the rpg everyone of the clan always has a third eye or something? There's nothing so explicit in the cyoa itself, though, to say that it's the case, and it would just be so ridiculously impractical to function that way that I am presuming it doesn't in this vampire universe. Maybe when you actively use obeah or valaren a third eye TEMPORARILY opens or something, that would be consistent with the imagery presented without making the entire clan an effective copy of the Nosferatu.

>How many image builds is that now?
Shockingly many! I guess there were a pretty good number made for OR as well, but in general the image variety isn't nearly so popular, I'm rather surprised myself that so many cropped up for vampire.

How do Sylen cyoas always get a bunch of high quality image builds even if they're mediocre? OR got none even when its overwhelmingly more popular. Are his cyoas just that appealing to effortfags (and tok)?

>>96904380
>Relying
I have an unlimited number of tries and can move an unlimited amount of information between timelines
Additionally, metaflux is transmited genetically, as is all other psi. There will eventually be some opportunity to groom some child into being my willing servant
Also, given that there is an effectively infinite supply of psi users a metaflux user will usually eventually overtake
Every method can eventually reach infinity, the only thing to worry about as an immortal is getting murked. Omega psi explicitly does not save you from getting murked as there is a stronger user watching you. Mu psi can save you

>>96904397
I'm not sure being more attractive to the likes of T0k is a good thing.

>>96904397
VTMfags

>>96904396
>I guess there were a pretty good number made for OR as well,
>>96904397
>OR got none

???

>>96904397
I do not care for the arrangement of images, and OR had images that already described everything. Companion choices and ideas made the bulk of the cyoa so what need would you have for an image build

>>96904401
No it can't be that, the Witcher cyoa also got lots of image builds.
>>96904402
I think that is conflating multiplayer with image builds.

>>96903928
What the fuck did Verdandi waste 300 years on? Her god level augs only took 700 years

>>96904404
To show the thread how dedicated you are. Image builds >>>>> shopping lists.

>>96904407
>I think that is conflating multiplayer with image builds.
I certainly remember people posting images for their OR builds, at least as of the original version, maybe not the most recent update.

>>96904400
Sylen and Tok are good buddies, it is a well known fact.

>>96904415
The original release Multiplayer builds barely quality as image builds, they were basically just character cards with a single picture on them. Certainly nowhere near the crazy detailed vtm image builds we got so far.

>>96904345
You've managed to turn this into a comfy cyoa

>>96904398
Well sure you could just wait, but that's going to take centuries of subjective time. Meanwhile with Omega Psi+ Machine Empathy you're off to the races as soon as you get Genesis (honestly even nuclear transmutation should be good enough to start churning out tech).
>Every method can eventually reach infinity, the only thing to worry about as an immortal is getting murked. Omega psi explicitly does not save you from getting murked as there is a stronger user watching you. Mu psi can save you
Other way around. Omega Psi gives you super precognition, teleportation and healing. Your strategy leaves you completely open to just getting shot in the head.

>>96904430
That may be so, my recollection of the exact content is vague - wasn't really that big of a fan, especially in comparison to the overall response it received.

>>96904414
But the ideas are what matters

>>96904398
Also I just remembered, you can't get Genesis with Metaflux, which is a huge deal.

>>96904396
Salubrious third eye is something that can be hidden, but is always technically there.

>>96904442
(You)s are what matters.

>>96904407
witcherfags

>>96904437
Gamma psi + Mu psi and then you get the strongest ability to avoid danger. If you don't have mu psi then every other gamma psi user will be able to interfere with your visions of the future and jump you if they wish to
>>96904444
You can get genesis through genetics, meaning you can eventually have subordinates with it

You don't need to tell everyone you meet that you have mu psi, you can just always be in the right place at the right time
The biggest gun doesn't rule the earth. With time you will be out maneuvered

Saying all of this makes me kind of want to duel
Would you care to?
3000 year start, 1500 years to spend, elspeth assumed dead, start on different continents but with immediate hostility

>>96904446
>Salubrious third eye is something that can be hidden, but is always technically there.
I would say that points also towards my interpretation, given the "wouldn't think it be something permanent" and the "only manifests when you're actually using the discipline" parts, although admittedly the distinction being drawn between "manifests" and "closed" isn't entirely clear, since those aren't really opposites.

Regardless, "they always have a third eye, it's just closed and you can have long bangs or something" is very silly and I'm just not going to take it seriously.

>>96904436
>You've managed to turn this into a comfy cyoa
Hah, thank you, that is more or less the hope. Phenomenal cosmic power generally feeling less appealing to me lately than kindly true love (with, perhaps, moderately significant power thrown into the mix as well).

>>96904345
Nice build. I love how well-adjusted you've managed to make your sire, and that you opted for a variety of neonate powers.
>Fabien Nielsen(Friend)
I don't really know why, but reading that made me smile.

>>96904379
Five if I count correctly. The Unfortunate Kindred, Kato Giuliano, Assamite Assassin, Thomas Whitmore, and Tok.

>>96904461
Verdanti is that you? What did you waste 300 years on?

>>96904483
If you chose mu psi without any mental upgrades you are limited by what you can remember. If you machine calculate fast enough you can compress information and store it perfectly

>>96904480
>Nice build. I love how well-adjusted you've managed to make your sire, and that you opted for a variety of neonate powers.
You're very kind. I suppose in a sense the Evil Queen archetype might better suit a sire, but really, who would want to spend one's time with that? A slightly stuffy but truly good-hearted girl, that's the way to go. And well-justified by a doubled Humanity Intact.

The neonate powers, well, I'm not sure if that's any kind of maturity/realism or just wanting to stick my fingers in a lot of pies without having that much blood to spend. It goes fast, especially when you feel like you ought to have non-affinity powers.

>I don't really know why, but reading that made me smile.
Hah, yes. I liked the guy, and wanted to include him - I suppose the reactions were meant to suggest that he was 'okay' with being a blood doll despite being terrified at the other two choices, but even blood-dolling him didn't seem particularly appropriate, nor pragmatically necessary. So I took the unmentioned option.

>>96903897
I never seen the author promise an update.
How many years ago was that?

>>96904461
> Gamma psi + Mu psi and then you get the strongest ability to avoid danger.
Even then your precog is going to be way worse than any omega psi user.
> If you don't have mu psi then every other gamma psi user will be able to interfere with your visions of the future and jump you if they wish to
They'd probably need equal or better precog for that, which is actually more likely to happen if you only have regular gamm psia than if you have omega psi.
> You can get genesis through genetics, meaning you can eventually have subordinates with it
Firstly that would require you to wait ages, secondly you need to get them to actually work for you, thirdly you risk butterflying them out of existance, fourthly you can also just get omega psi yourself and have a subordinate with metaflux/open mind.
> You don't need to tell everyone you meet that you have mu psi, you can just always be in the right place at the right time
You can do that with Omega Psi as well, you don't need open mind for that.
> With time you will be out maneuvered
You don't need mu psi to out maneuver people.
> Would you care to?
Eh, I feel like that's just going to end up being 'I win' 'nu uh' (which to be fair is basically what we're already doing here)

>>96904314
Omega Psi wielders are glass cannons early on.
Martial god chads could kill them before they react in many hypothetical scenarios.

>>96903248
But how do you prevent that from happening? Just don't be autistic? Make sure you remind them that you care every now and then? Is it fear that often drives them? Mistreatment? Or is it greed?

>>96902397
>I've always bee suspicious of them... nobody talks about how nice they that much if they aren't actually horrible.

It would seem that from what anons say,
they are child killers and devil worshippers. But i don't know if the true brujah did the same, since they also lived in Carthage, yet hated Troile who actually dated the progenitor of the Baali. The more anons talk of her, and the more i read on the whole thing, the more disqusting both her and her branch of the brujah seem to me.

>don't think he'd be happy with my plans.

When you said you wanted to form your own bloodline, i believed you meant a branch of the same clan, but you want an entirely new one?

Also your sire is posessive, envious and super clingy due to favour 20, ggs. Unless you turn her plans into your own somehow.

>>96904535
>Even then your precog is going to be way worse than any omega psi user.
I am pretty sure you are supposed to keep some psi growth when you jump back in time, as mu sends the "Mind" and not "Memories" But I wouldn't be sure. Regardless it is explicitly possible to go far enough back to start from the start, and so you can't really end up in an unwinnable situation, where there are explicitly people immune to Omega psi
>They'd probably need equal or better precog for that
I assume this works on dune rules, where the possible actions of other prescients appear as a blur in your sight. Even if not they can teleport, as can you, so you would effectivly have to constantly be aware of all possible angles of attack. All better gamma psi would do is let you adapt faster, they could still adapt to what you do and that would mean you could never do anything that would leave a vulnerability or swing with all of your weight
>Firstly that would require you to wait ages,
Yes
>You need to get them to actually work for you
I have unlimited retries and unlimited choices for who
>you risk butterflying them out of existance
As with my enemies
>have a subordinate with metaflux/open mind
Mu psi cannot be used without open mind
Having a subordinate who has all the knowledge means having someone else chose for you
The whole point is to chose the future and not have it chosen for you
>You can do that with Omega Psi as well
It is much harder to hide that you are creating matter and un-existing people then that you know things
>just going to end up being 'I win' 'nu uh'
Ah, alright
Although I would like to think more of the both of us

I do actually like these discussions, and engage in them for the sake of recreation. Do tell if I'm going too far
(And I like having them with You)

>>96904550
No, they aren't
They have mind reading and future sight from the start, you can't jump them that easily, and the only known fight between a martial and an omega psi ended with explicit humiliation (The Apostate)

>>96903913
Fuck Elspeth and her delusions of godhood, turning a bunch of assholes into super powerful mortals. I'm joining the apostate and killing all the pantheon.

I'm surprised nobody has posted the /mcyoag/ J.I.T.E OC here yet. Has our rivalry with the sister board reached taboo levels? Normally we have zero problems shamelessly stealing reddit oc.

>>96904812
Your archival arts are lacking.

>>96904805
The apostate might not want to kill all the pantheon. She didn't kill anyone who came after her after all.

>>96904812
No images, no play. It was a mostly generic anime high school cyoa too, so it's not as if it'd have been hard to grab booru images for it.

>>96904805
Based and same, I would spare Elspeth tho. Her mind is too valuable to waste, maybe you could gaslight or guilt trip her into becoming compliant.

>>96904836

Do (You) believe in the Spider's Thread?

>>96904876
You could just make her see how stupid the whole program was and how it pretty much caused everything to go wrong and then force her to fix it without the ego trip of being called a god. That and she would be a pretty good concubine.

>>96905081
>I wonder if they will ever move towards regular ttrpg’s and start a dm system
The format they use is too freeform for that, it wouldn't work well, it's just stories and rule of cool. They only need a dm for arenas and those keep failing. But it already happend 2.5 times so I am sure it can and will happen again, be it from them, us or trash.

>>96904345
>another thread
>another image build for the vampire cyoa
does it ever stop?

>>96904397
If you pay close attention to the choice of images, there is almost no low quality images in his CYOA. There is distinct coherence in theme, flavor and artstyle. This makes it very easy to make an image build.

>>96905212
Sometimes they hurt my eyes, but they do so consistently too. Now if only the actual content was on the same level of quality instead of always being ruined by some no-fun rule.

I was told by my weeb friend, who watches danmachi, that a fresh level 6 can't beat a fresh level 5 Bell, is that true?

Granted he's a weeb so he is probably full of shit.

Are we doing playground rumours now? Really?

Aro jerks off to pictures of Rainbow Dash

ewwwww

Shut up retard its not true

>>96905130
I feel like they could eventually but it would be very dm dependant yes, and it’s unlikely they find any stable supply of dm’s who would be willing to put up with 90% rule of cool

>>96905363
Danmachi's reality, like all anime reality, makes no sense. You have spells/abilities that are capable of one shotting (...vaporizing) people dead, but then you see those same spells and abilities being used on people for purely comedic relief ("trying to pick up girls? may as well lightning bolt your ass for the lulz"). You see people standing back up after being hit in the FACE with a torrent of magma.

>>96905458
>he doesnt like playdough physics
you dont like fun

Could a Danmachi god have a familia that is essentially just his harem?

>>96905500
"Hey, that hit you. You're dead."
"Nuh uhh, I have, like ,super protection armor on."
"You can't make new shit up."
"Watch me."

Sooo fun.

>>96905519
I don't see why not. You are the one that chooses who to give the mark to, if you want to have that as a condition nobody is stopping you. It may not be a powerful or numerous familia depending on your standards but that clearly isn't the priority.

>>96905500
Yes, the same retard that proved multiple times that he hates fun does in fact not like fun.

>>96905519
Canonically the gods are hypersexual and will bang anyone and anything that catches their fancy. I'm not even joking. It's rare for a god to not have sex with their familia members. The three goddesses of beauty have apparently fucked all the gods, or most of them, at one point or another. I assume sexual intercourse to the gods is like mashing two dolls together.

>highly promiscuous pansexual gods
>romantically inexperienced adventurers
Make it make sense

>>96905458
>"trying to pick up girls? may as well lightning bolt your ass for the lulz"
When did this happen

>>96905557
Canon doesn't really affect you in that regard because you can just be the god, at which point you decide your own story, or make a god, to which the same applies. The canon gods are all horrible anyway and you can make a better one even without this incentive.

>>96905643
Custom God is by far the most broken choice in the CYOA. Author said you can decide their personality.

Of course you can, what part of CUSTOM did you miss? Did people really have to ask that? It would be retarded if you couldn't, it wouldn't be custom then.

The only god who refuses to have sex with her familia is Freyja, because she's a psycho bitch who loves to tease her people. She also forbids masturbation.

>>96905682

This but turning Elspeth into my anus cleaner

All these squeaks, but no cyoa...

>>96904412
Refinement, it does say that if you have unspent years it makes the augs you have slightly better. A few years probably doesn't do that much but 300 may have a better effect. But I'm pretty sure it just doesn't list all the upgrades, just the big ones so she probably has some minor augs and stuff.

>>96905756
Are you implying she predicted the 4d mind break gambit?
I’m impressed. I suppose I got all those fertility enhancements for nothing

>>96905790
It is explicitly 1% per decade
300 years would give exactly 30%

>>96905799
She would have needed to predict that before having precog powers so that anon is just implying it's her fetish.

>>96905805

Ya, ~120k words total, but playable via skimming without missing anything required mechanics wise. Just look at the three race bonus for each race, run through the hero forge. Faith just read the Oath bonuses, Factions just read the goon units. for companions, just reading the companions personal quest gives you a good sense of them. then the sanctioned quests are short.

>Why is Bardo so unpopular?
It's difficult to unlock. Plus it doesn't have quite the same versatility or oomph as certain other Rare and Obscure Disciplines like Vicissitude or Temporis. It has some nice tricks but not enough to be a priority for acquiring before some others.
Plus there is a good bit of overlap between The Path to Golconda chronicle and Bardo, and ironically Golconda is a bit easier to get than Bardo, atleast from a game mechanics angle.

>>96906072
The Restore Humanitas and Banishing Sign of Thoth can situationally be very useful. Gift of Apis makes getting vitae alot easier. But yeah the discipline is overall pretty niche and struggles to be worth while 99%.

>>96906319
Pillars are good too, they actually boost every form of mystical activity, not just other Bardo powers.

>>96905985
Thank god. I was going crazy with all those cultivations enjoyers.

>>96906273
do you use ai only for the art or do you also use it to write?

>>96906424
Pillars are iffy. Yeah they provide a boost to all mystical abilities, but they also make you more vulnerable to frenzy when you are away from them for more than a few days. And it's hard to make a pillar in a convenient location.

>>96906217
Thanks, you clearly put a lot of effort into it so I want to give it a fair shake.

>>96906484
There's no way AI would make that many typos

>>96906484
Some. Outline with text AI then rewrite for some things, or to brain storm ideas then pick from it and change things. The 'AI voice' tropes are super grating to me now and AI often seems creative but often has the exact same idea every time a question is prompted. I was a writer before making cyoas and am more passionate about that than design or mechanics.

>>96905921
He claims to have commited actual beastiality and necrophiliac incest, and most people on here believe it which says a lot about how he behaves.

>>96906516
The best example is difficulty 5, the worst example is difficulty 9. So it's probably averages on 7. Not super hard.

>>96906542
I'm sure there is a lot. Eye strain only lets you proof read so much. I'll try to hot fix all the easily fixable things people point out the next couple days.

>>96906653
>human wants to be a robot
fresh and innovative

>>96906653
Curators cut off their biological head and then attach it to automaton bodies so it's closer to the opposite. Or do you mean the Gilded? Alchemically created slaves that already are people but want to not be slaves? Only the sanctioned mission dweorg Frankenstein satire gilded is mechanical and those are intended to cheesy.

>>96906653
My robot who wants to be a human will lampshade how boring and overdone the trope is (part of the reason she's so reluctant to even admit it to herself is that she's part of a culture valuing spectacle and showmanship above all else, and "robot wanting to be a human" is about as cliche and unspectacular as it gets)

>>96906563

>>96906581
Not super hard, but not super easy either. And it takes a full night to attempt to make one. It's fine if you can stay in an area, but if you for what-ever reason are forced to move around a lot (on the run or trying to track some/something down over a large geographical area) it can start to eat up a lot of time to stave off the stacking frenzy vulnerability debuff. It also adds another layer of complication to travel for a vampire who already have a lot of things to consider on that front. It could be a bit easier if Pillars can be tied to something large enough to be considered a place but still mobile, like a ship. But that'd be a story teller judgement call.

Glory to thee angelanon. Your language and ability to paint a picture truly strike a cord with anyone reading. I might understand some of what you mean concerning perspective. Your method is far more immersive. More so, for i feel it is a tragedy that both of you even exist in vtm.
Surely nothing tragic will ever happen?

>I think the great majority of builds here it is extraordinarily 'weak,'
Your build is probably the best at utilizing his "expression" out of any, when it comes to the writing.

But i have to say, the font for the titles are great. But the red colour is rather straining to the eyes and Sophias text is also difficult to figure out at times. Forcing the brain to adapt to the font, which can be annoying.

Overall a pleasure and interesting if you plan to add more to the story here, post-prototype stage.
If i may ask? Are there any CYOAs from you in the near future to look forward to?

>>96905985
Can Soul Reservoir and Oathkeeper's Bond stack? Like if both me and my clockwork companion have supercharged Oathkeeper's Bond, is that +100% or just +50% to enchantment effects for both of us? Stacking with Supercharged Soul Reservoir being +3-4% to weapon damage after every kill?

>>96906704
I have a few past OCs! No current OC yet, though. If I can complete this current project in even 6 months I'll be astonished at how fast it was; it's my biggest and most ambitious yet.

It's still far out enough that I'm not even ready to properly tease it (or reveal myself) yet. Still hammering out the basic design (which looks very fancy so far!)

>>96906708
>>le robot cannot understand sarcasm
This trope is very funny in hindsight now that things like ChatGPT are commonplace.

>>96906708
Ok, more fair then but still Un-made anachrons aren't robots, they are coalesced amalgams of soul fragments churned through the Curator Projector System, Ada is mostly fragments of non-humans so more analytical. Alice is also an unmade and is more human coded (goal to blend herself, Devayvay as well (goal to steal a car and fuck off.)

>>96906684
I'm pretty sure its on here
https://sites.google.com/view/dragons-whore/interview-with-tokhaar-gol

>>96906745
It still might end up being a true trope. LLMs like Chat GPT are super optimized for simulated conversation but it's still a heavily debated topic if they are a good path forward to making AGIs. They are a reactive agent and it's not clear how to turn them into a proactive agent (or if it's feasible at all).

>>96906729
Yes, it would stack the way you say if both you and ally have supercharged Oathkeeper Bond.

>>96905985

>>96907161
This is somehow below WIP posting, because you don't attach any WIP to your blatant reach for attention.

>"Frenchness"
Do not speak of Evil. Names have power down here.

>>96907226
A few months ago, author asked for requests for things to add to TGS in progress, some anon asked for french unicorns. This companion appears to be the implementation of that request.

>>96907519
I asked for a licorne, actually.

With slaves, are you more into quantity/unspecified harems or quality/individuals?

>>96907487
Eh? by the 17th?

>>96907551
Quantity, all 8 billion people should be my slaves and do everything i say

>>96907553

>>96907551
Quality of individuals always trumps faceless masses

>>96907519
Now that you reminded me, I asked for class that gets stronger by being cursed. That's probably Warlock in the CYOA.

/mcyoag/ makes me think about this comic.

>>96907572
Like in terms of "what they provide" or like in terms of writing focus/attention?

>>96906726
>Surely nothing tragic will ever happen?
As far as I know nothing tragic has happened in the setting before, what are the odds it would start now?

>But the red colour is rather straining to the eyes and Sophias text is also difficult to figure out at times. Forcing the brain to adapt to the font, which can be annoying.
Hm, that's unfortunate. I was very conscious of readability concerns, but was trying to balance that with stylism, tried a number of different handwritten-style fonts and sizes. I thought the one I decided on was at least fairly well-seated on the "legible" side of the line, but I suppose that when we transpose to different screen sizes/resolutions it might well end up shifted across the border.

>interesting if you plan to add more to the story here, post-prototype stage.
You know, I'm never particularly comfortable saying too much about what happens once the world starts, when we hit unpause. Talking about plans, sometimes, but I guess I feel as if it's 'cheating' to decree the events that will transpire - I get to set the pieces up in the first place, subject to the CYOA's constraints, but when the game begins I have to deal with it as it comes.

And really I don't feel like I would have much in the way of active plans or ambitions, regardless, it truly is a 'comfy' build in that sense. If I/we could achieve the Equilibrium Golconda, I think I'd be fairly content just hanging around and hoping there's no Gehenna in this timeline, gradually developing those abilities which allow greater security. Enjoying, frankly, merely being a socially capable person. Nothing particularly dramatic or interesting enough to detail.

>>96907014
>it is always visible
in the TTRPG there is a merit to be able to perfeclty hide your third eye when you are not using it for a salubri unique power.

Ran out of room...
>>96906726
>If i may ask? Are there any CYOAs from you in the near future to look forward to?
Jeez, I am beginning to feel bad when people ask this - I don't like leaving expectations unfulfilled, even if I did nothing to create them. No, I have to say, I haven't been working on anything and don't have any real anticipation of doing so; it would probably be best to look on Angel as really a one-off, singular creation. If somehow inspiration does come to me again to make something, you can then be pleasantly surprised, rather than disappointed by the more likely lack thereof.

>>96907583
And (SPOILER) is Chuunibyou + alien needing to be escorted through missions. Suri is truly the author the people.

>>96907570
It was unexpected, but fulfilled the pact and prevented anon from, as per his own words, destroying the /cyoag/.

>>96907612
In terms of writing and focus.
Power levels depends on what you are going for but well written characters will carry a CYOA for a long while.

As in the world of vtm being bleak as hell, with you caught right in the middle. But that is probably just me shooting bullets way out of target as is.

>You know, I'm never particularly comfortable saying too much about what happens once the world starts
Guess i was just happy with the content, shaped like a cake and wishing to eat it as well as they say. But you are right, the tone of the adventure has already been set. With the slice of life featuring character growth found in the somewhat mundane, it embodies it all. I think only you, ventrue hotelier and the cheery librarian were the ones to find your joy before the game even started.

>Jeez, I am beginning to feel bad when people ask this
Don´t instead you should feel pride that people are asking for more. I will hold out hope that you are struck with inspiration in the not too distant future. Perhaps as a wish for the new years? Heh.

>>96905985
Lore rundown for the retarded amongst us:
Two species come into contact, having emerged in the opposite of this order one hyper logical called the Lumins who were unicorn centaur people and one super emotional called the Vord who were imp? people, they seem to have extreme physical prowess and so may have initially been the protectors in the relationship
The Lumin initially used their technology to look after and serve the Vord as their predecessors, but this made the Vord stupid to the point that at some stage a group of Lumin decided to genocide them for being useless
They then kept the plays going because I honestly don't think they're capable of original thought, this was lead by one I'll call Dons who uses their technology to erase the memories of the others who feel extreme guilt over this (Probably the origin of the shroud).
At some stage they run out of whatever resource they use to make stuff (Maybe? it came from the Vord) and so have to settle with altering the same planet leading to stuff like the glitchlands and the multiple previous cycle carry overs.
I may be wrong here because I'm also retarded
Also isn't the final encounter trivially beaten with the artifact you used to get in in the first place, just poke his shield with the fuck tech rock to win.

>>96907890

>>96908815
That's from Xylos and the Singer.

>>96908836
Are they also the ones who give you access to Curator classes and perks?

>>96905985
Kill all ayylmaos. Destroy the planet.

>>96908693
The stillborn are classic Grey aliens, who the Curators conquered the season before Earth, then added as a playable race, even though they're smart enough to keep fucking with the curators system. precursor tech I think refers to the Grey tech, which even though they lost was in some ways more advanced than the Curator crystal Tech. Dons seems to have both so the Grey precursor tech cancels out the nadir crystal maybe? Or just makes it take longer to work?

>>96905985
You could very easily make an overpowered rape build in this cyoa. A lacunaGOD can rape anyone with no repercussions whatsoever.

>>96908866
Yes, there is a little emoticon smilie next to the select classes 0/3. Then another smilie next to the command line that unlocks curator classes, implying it was the same person unlocking both. Singer's tummy makes me nervous for some reason.

Worst is the premise looked great but I can't look at it

>>96906868
I wouldn't call it unreadable but I recognized it immediately as AI-written. That's fine -- I was able to recognize it because I spend a lot of time reading AI-generated stories created on demand for me -- but I stopped reading as soon as I noticed, since I get enough of that elsewhere.

>>96908588
>As in the world of vtm being bleak as hell, with you caught right in the middle. But that is probably just me shooting bullets way out of target as is.
Hah, no, I was joking there, obviously the 'World of Darkness' is rather aptly named; it rivals cyberpunk for canon stories ending in various shades of disaster, and for lasting happiness being rare as gold. But I do lean more towards the expectation of 'simulation'-driven outcomes rather than narrative-driven ones; unless the cyoa itself explicitly says otherwise, I figure that I can find a happy home if I set up the pieces right, despite the setting.

> I will hold out hope that you are struck with inspiration in the not too distant future. Perhaps as a wish for the new years? Heh.
I did have, a while ago, a vague idea for a superhero-y cyoa, with much of the mechanical 'crunch' of it coming out of the details of when and how your powers are available, trade off having perfectly instinctual and 'costless' abilities for having more/more powerful, but now they tire you, or require mental focus, or need an emotion to evoke, or you are permanently (partially) monstrous to have them. Maybe I'll take another look at it. Superhero CYOAs seem difficult though, it seems like a bit of a cursed genre. Difficulty I suppose with balancing things while allowing access to anything like the wide variety of powers and archetypes found in the comics.

>>96909194 (me)
Also I think it's a bit dishonest to use AI without mentioning it, like you're trying to get personal credit for writing something you didn't.

>>96909194
>>96909247
He admitted he used AI for part and wrote some parts.
>>96906560
Using OCR and copying some text from the first few pages, AI detector says 35% AI. And you can tell that when you read it too, some parts sound very different. I thought the writing of the missions was very good.

>>96909313
I mean within the CYOA. Like for the art people generally don't assume you made it unless it's MS Paint tier, but it would be like if the default was drawing your own artwork and you used a cool image you found online and cropped but didn't include attribution.

>>96909357
So you want what? "Cyoa by 'guy who always uses AI' P.S. partially written with AI." on the first page? Lying about it when asked would be shitty, yeah but it isn't a college essay.

why shouldn't I make cyoa with ai pictures? there's some damn good ai art you can make. i don't get the stigma.

>>96909420
Why shouldn't you use AI for the scripts too?
Ultimately it's because the result will always be of lesser quality. That being said I think he used AI to create original characters which is something that I can appreciate on theory but the result always looks like slop.

>>96909420
because it makes reddit-brained anons seethe

>>96909313
The races and classes were 100% written by AI. I haven't gone any further than that so I don't know about the rest.

>>96909460
But reddit loves AI kino tho?

>>96909420
Using AI for any creative pursuit is subhuman behavior. It comes as no surprise that so many anons are praising this slop, they are all jeets, uncreative and soulless creatures.

>>96909456
because my ideas are better than AI ideas? but if the AI could make a good cyoa, why not? But personally, I just want the artwork.
>>96909460
seems everyone hates it but I don't get it unless you're reddit crying about artist rights for training purposes or whatever, but I'm not getting paid for making a cyoa, so idc. if I was getting paid for cyoa making and using ai, ok, complain away.
>>96909491
did you create the art that you slapped on your cyoa or did you copypaste it after saving the image from the internet?

>>96909113
Gods of beauty have the most OP ability (mind control) and you can design them however you wish.

AI reminds me of dreams. Like if you could make a dream into reality. Not literally so, just in picture form. It will always have that uncanny valley effect to it, for now at least.

>>96909505
Compare this garbage AI slop to anything by tankista and then get back to me on how great AI "art" is. I'm not trying to dissuade you, your cyoa will be trash anyone because it will be made by an untalented pajeet, but don't fool yourself into thinking you're creating anything by typing prompts and eating the shit directly out of the ass of an AI.
Also, kill yourself.

This is the most disgusting method. You're being reinforced by bug shit.

>>96909243
Well the joke went well over my head. But sylen did say in the beginning of the cyoa, that you should have whatever you can carve out for yourself when making a build, so it should be fine.

Regarding the superhero one, don´t feel afraid of asking the thread should you ever feel stuck. Even a wip or two is better than total burnout with no hope of return. Even if i am too worn out myself for the night to offer much support atm. Never have i tired of superhero cyoas for some reason. Only ones that i have a hard time getting into is cyberpunk ones, like you previously mentioned. Albeit stacks on stacks was a good one.

faggot fuccboi

what if I made a demon lord world conquering isekai/fantasy style cyoa where you conquer multiple worlds and can even induct heroes into your party as you conquer, and you have to conquer X worlds to 'win' (depending on difficulty options you pick), and it got progressively harder. also, you created world defenses that range from state to continent to world tier. you also had massive subordinate customization options allowing you to pick goblins, and customization options that would allow you to make them aquatic, magically inclined, more physically fit, etc. also there was legendary equipment, generals you can hire (or recruit) as companions, secret options after conquering worlds, and you could deploy yourself as a high risk nuclear option.

what if that happened? because I sure as heck am not writing it, but post other hypothetical stuff you'd like to see in this cyoa i'm definitely not making

>>96910102

You telling me aliens want to make a fake entertaining world and don't have the capacity of giving femboys spironolactone? Character is canonically male and exiled for being too feminine (overstepping in a matriarchal society). Probably has a little push up in there to maximize the lift of his A cups.

>>96905985
In practice, why would the player focus on anything but curator stuff? Its premise is literally shitting on everything else.

>>96910281
curators will be rendered extinct by me, take curator stuff at your own peril

>>96910281
Martial dream and shadow all have a huge damage multiplier that Would stack with each other. Enchantment focus on a soul forge weapon is also insanely busted. There's probably like 10 different builds I could come up with using zero curator points that resist 90%+ of incoming damage and deal x100 damage, way more with masks. So yeah dupe gold bars and make NPCs into big titty goth girls while I atomize you from 20 miles out before you know I exist.

Everytime Surinical posts OC there's the same shitstorm about AIslop, one would think you faggots would get tired of shitposting about the same shit ad nauseam but I the machinefag does post the same bait every thread so I should know you all clearly aren't beyond that.

>>96910396
>>96910434
You do return to your prime or pick the age you want in the hero forge then do not age. Natives age and die normally, elves living longer, etc. the legacy lines were specifically picked at certain ages to create the most discord between them, then players like Silas chose to remain the age they are.

>>96910507
It is good manners.
When you are told: "Thank you!" you ought to respond with "You're welcome!"

>>96910440
A high humanity Baali really is funny. You picked a lot of Tzimisce contacts, so are you planning on moving to the Carpathian mountains?
Also, why didn't you use the impairments section? You didn't put any points into Daimonion, so using Talentless Morsel on it wouldn't hurt you very much (since you keep the affinity and can still train it after).

>>96910653

Mask of Maybe Not

I'll go look at the rest of the story stuff later (I only read to the end of the imgchest and after seeing there are like THIRTY more images I think I'll go through them later). In general the concept is to just be a really annoying cunt who skips out on raw stats and goes straight for "fuck you nope" on both attack and defense.

>>96911040
I always liked Siphmur from this one. Chill lazy demonic catgirl who'll probably drain your dick in exchange for baked fish. Don't really care about the others.

>>96911379
you get 3 classes not 1

>>96911395

>>96905985
The first trait, what does it actually mean? And how do hybrid races work anyways? Did I miss something

>>96905985
This CYOA is the epitome of don't judge a book by it's cover. I almost got scared off by the sloppa AI art, but then the premise got more interesting as I read on.

>>96911401
Add +1 to three of the folllowing: Martial/soul/weave/dream/shadow/curator.

Each race has 3 traits, a stat trait and 2 others. Hybrids get 1 stat trait and. 2 more from the parents.

>Tuning Fork

From what I can tell, there is a fun little interaction between Foundation Erosion and Loose Threads in that any damage I deal gets replicated and more importantly, procs the 1% "delete from existence" chance again. Apply that to an AOE field and it's going to be quite amusing...

A berserker warrior-monks using a mix of Wrestling, Jiu-Jitsu and Kickboxing. All Soul points are converted into Martial ones courtesy of Green Purpose. Combat style is essentially just run in and start swinging; if they can’t get past my speed, then they can’t hit me, and if they do hit me then I do more damage to them. Damage resistance buffs stack to make it progressively more difficult to hurt me as a fight goes on, and let me siphon health from others to maximize my berserker abilities. As for my companions, Open Palms provides support, Kaelen is the quintessential rogue, Lyraxis is the commander and Charlie serves as a fellow frontliner. Haven't read the Unsanction missions yet, so I'll get to that.

There's a couple of aggravatingly AI-like art styles that AI art tends to end up with. As long as those can be avoided it's mostly fine.

>you didn't shit up the thread unnecessarily, choosing the more efficient method for posting AND for downloading? i don't understand!
yeah, you probably don't understand things often

>>96912401
Posting the entire cyoa in full allows posts to reference particular pages by replying to them.
Also you are making it sound like linking an album is exclusive with posting the whole thing here.
Also you are in seriousness calling posting OC here "shitting up the thread" as opposed to your masturbatory authordrama and shitflinging?
Also worth noting that this is a new thing. Nobody posted album links until a few years ago. Not sure when it started but definitely after skubwar.

I think the sunrical ai art would be better if he picked any specific human artist for the ai to imitate
The more specific you get the less bland and sloppy it looks

I also think that ai writing is unacceptable, but I cannot be assed to make an ai build in parody so I leave it to whoever cares
I would be better to simply make a shorter cyoa if you don't have any ideas for a segment, or to just leave large swathes up to player choice/imagination

It's going to be rough getting hermit benefits since I like taking companions and only the five seas/flog give hermit benefits

empty posts when a link works not only just as good but in fact better is shitposting, yes

>>96912304
Reminder that the key of light and demon of knowledge pathways are open for becoming a GOO, minimal risk of corruption(relative), your only opponents are a KoA for Wheel of Fortune and a fraud god + a fake god for demon of knowledge. Just remember to buy your pathways Sefirah and you're golden.

>>96912494
I remember people talking about "trap options".
But if the CYOA never explicitely show that it's a trap, and your only clue is metaknowledge from the source material (likely later chapters), is it still a trap, or a different continuity?

>>96912494
>key of light

Everything is up to Fate in this case, it may be either super easy or straight up impossible.

>>96912505
Marauder is a trap irregardless unless you go full joker to amuse Amon.

>>96912505
The reasons those options are traps still exist so yeah, from the wip you'll have options to mitigate that, but you're still capped at sequence 2 for any pathway with an actual god. Unless you take Modern Day. Don't go Marauder
>>96912508
The only reason I'm considering it is because I think you can buy a connection to the sefirah if that doesn't get changed.

>>96912518
>irregrdless
so you're saying marauder is only a trap if you go full joker?

>>96904291
I was going to repost this, but it's still up, so remind yourselves.

So you still used aisloppa? KYS

Did the dual pathway thing get turned into a perk?

vermillion only has one real use case where it's good: you didn't take any way to make normal resources like spirit stones, but why would you do that?

an edge case is if you want to teach vermillion to your sect, but you're making a bunch of uncontrollable psychopaths instead of loyal sect members that way and i'm not sure you'd ever really want that

>>96912586
I think that's just some artist's art style, I saw more from him elsewhere but I forgot the name

That's called a demonic sect in xianxia, and yes the whole point of it is to squeeze as much benefits from your sect members while they try to stay alive long enough to backstab you and take your place at the top of the pyramid.

>Posting cyoas in the cyoa general is bad! we should all start spamming link instead!
Kys redditoid.

>>96912618
the problem is you don't need to have a sect of independently-cultivating psychopaths to do that, in fact if you want to keep a bunch of psychopaths under control vermillion is literally the worst method you could choose

>>96912622
nah, i've been here since before this place was a general, therefore you're the redditor

>>96912614
Kinda silly how pic related probably happened in OR at some point

cyoa for this feel? 1 or 2 pages only

>>96912642
look into the mirror

Here you go

nah I've been here since the crimean war, even as the 24-pounder howitzers shelled our camp, we'd build and post. Cyoas were all black and white photos back then. Youngsters don't remember.

>>96912642
Any be the girl cyoa?

>>96912642
There's that small old onepager where your girlfriend choice is your hand. Fuck me if I'd know how to find it.

>>96912642
>Ratha.png

I've been here since pre-Ice Age, even as the 500-pounder sabertooth tiger stalked our tribe, we'd build and post. Cyoas were all cave paintings and bone carvings. Homo Sapiens don't remember.

Why do we have a CYOA for >>96912674 but not for >>96912656 anyway

>>96912675
One is more interesting than the other.

>>96912674
sabertooth tigers only lived in the Americas, and no hominids besides Homo Sapiens ever lived in the Americas, so the combination doesn't work out

>>96912494
Stiano would probably accept going down to King of Angels since it would reduce his corruption and he didn't want the sephirah anyways. Mystery pryer and ally with ~any orthodox god to get its uniqueness and your golden, its one of the harder pathways early on but its really good in terms of availability.

>>96912304
It looks really nice, thanks for the update.

>>96912641
I know exactly where this is from. Rimworld, and the mousegirl is a race mod.

>>96915810
For me, it's the slug girl mod.
