Haha, no.
Working Man
Start: Approximate center of Europe, 10k BC
Drawbacks: Dustbin+, Region-Locked, Tower of Babel
Mind: Genius 3, Memory 2, Harmony
Body: Strength 1, Reflex 2, Regen 3, Pain, Non-Reactor, Diet 2, Impervious 3, End 2, Senses 1, Temp 2
Powers: MotionM+, BlessedM, EnchantingM, TelepathyM+
Items:Book of Culture, Knowledge, Omni-Weapon
Quests:Singularity, Federation
Plan: Region-lock gives me most of Europe to play with. I have knowledge, near-invulnerability, and the ability to empower my followers. We're going to space, motherfuckers!
Basically, I'm just going to settle down, recruit some locals, and start going up the tech tree. With my ability to empower others with Telepathy, I'll be able to overcome Babel by establishing a single language early on. My people will warp around the world, bringing my wonders with them. I expect we'll be a galactic civ several thousand years before the deadline.

The CYOA is meant to create first year students. So, a given build could attain any level of power, given enough time and training.

Didn't Cinder and 2 of her friends beat up Amber? + Some of those gifts are really fucking powerful. Maybe 2 anons then.
Hey guys, the fellow working on a magical school CYOA here. The intro and houses are "done", meaning I have no real changes planned, but they're still available for critique and feedback and may be changed as necessary. The classes are in a similar state, in terms of the options and what they do, but I haven't yet written them out as complete sentences and made the wording pretty. That stuff can be seen in its current form:
http://pastebin.com/qnVjvQgn
Currently, my primary areas of work are the powers and the items, which kind of go together. Of those, the powers are way more done and I haven't really started on items as of now. You can see the current list here:

How messed up is that?
And I know I have to share my room with three other people, and maybe they're boys and that's super weird.

Soon as we're set up and have a free moment, we'll gather the slaves together, free them from their shackles, and give them a choice: leave, and make their own way in the world; or stay, and help build a better one.

>>48246290
My favourite one is a slacker assassin in jail (the CYOA opens with an escape) not for killing anyone, but for child endangerment after handing his sister's 5 year old kid he was babysitting a gun to help him in a firefight when some gangsters came for revenge.
He is the best husbando so far.

>>48244852
How important is the background for how you get your powers/become your character? Like in a space cyoa, do you need an explanation for how you got transported from being a elegan/tg/entleman or ca/tg/irl to being a sci-fi character in space? Or is it ok to just jump into the setting as the character you created like that's who you always were?

>>48246641
>handing his sister's 5 year old kid he was babysitting a gun to help him in a firefight
Is that what happens when you watch too much anime?
Does anyone have a CYOA that you think did magical (but not super powerful) items really well?
>>48246708
If the cyoa does not specifically tell me I am still myself and transported, mutated, blessed, etc. whatever then I will assume that I am building an independent character to play as.
>>48246774
Yes. That magic cyoa with all the elemental type magics. Each type had his own form of "enchantment" magic for items and it was generic but interesting.
I can't post it because I'll piss myself if I see that Slayer option again.

>>48241072
Green lantern rings do have a kill function that's locked away by the guardians who have unlocked it in the past when needed, such as iirc the sinestro war. Also implanting a ring into your body doesn't give you infinite charges as the Alpha Lanterns had actual lantern batteries implanted into their bodies for immediate access.
Kyle Rainer when he got his ring from Ganthet actually had access to the main power battery and later became one with the Will Entity Ion, which basically made him a godling.
That being said the ring is capable of changing things on a molecular level in some of the comics. Most lanterns don't seem to know that though.

Maybe put in a short blurb for both kinds of "backstories"? Personally prefer the former, but there's bound to be others that like the latter.

So I've increased my strength to superhuman levels, and on top of that I have a cybernetic arm that multiplies it by three. On top of THAT I also have super speed (twice over), further multiplying my force as well as allowing me to attack more often, and I have the stamina to keep going and the skill to back it all up.
I don't bother with ranged weapons, because they don't really benefit from my strength and speed. Of course I can close with a target so fast that it shouldn't matter anyway.

I replayed kotor recently and it got me in the mood to make a Star Wars cyoa, I've never seen one on here but I'd be surprised if there isn't one floating around some where.
It would be my first time making a cyoa so I sould probably get some experience under my belt first but I thought I'd put the idea out there.
Anyone have cyoa-making advice?

Focus the CYOA either on force users only, or non-force users only.
If you can't accept that then give two alternative starts, like for example a force user supplement to the larger CYOA, so that there's still distinction, but also most of the work used by either start.

Well, considering how the structured jedi order is more of a background thing and more liberal jedi are the real protagonists in almost every film and extended universe story (like the kotor image the guy posted for example), I don't think we have that to worry about.

>>48247462
Sort of, but it doesn't need to be on another page. Just make two alternative starts available to people, so they can choose what they want. Trying to balance jedi against regular people is going to end up terrible, so it's better if you plan around it from the start.

Figure out what the CYOA is going to be about. Star Wars is a huge universe with a multitude of different backgrounds available, so a general "This is Star Wars" CYOA will either be sorely lacking or extremely large. Narrow it down pretty well. Another thing to keep in mind is that having an option in a CYOA implies that it matters and there is a reason to pick it. Force users in Star Wars tend to blow up "balance", but if you want to include that as an option you're going to have to try, otherwise "there's no reason to pick anything else."
Other than that, if you're looking for regular CYOA making advice, check the pastebin and various archives. Depending on the program you decide to use, there are guides to help you get a feel to making the CYOA, and there's notes by a CYOA author on their design process.
But mostly you're just going to have to actually do it.
>>48244852

I imagine it breaks into two pieces, that somehow fit into claws
I suppose two shotguns/auto pistols make more sense, given how compact they have to be. Fits well with Agility I got.
Claws + Auto Pistols it is!

>>48247516
I think choosing between force-sensitive and non force-sensitive is kind of like choosing between being a redshirt or not a redshirt in a Star Trek cyoa so I might just make force-sensitivity mandatory
Although non force-sensitive could make for a good "hard mode" I guess

Ok. I'm kinda thinking you should just start as a independent character in the setting since it's scifi and not magical or anything. But maybe I can add a way in where you get transported and changed yourself.
>>48247632
I'm thinking mandalorian wars-Jedi civil war era (you know, the time period kotor takes place in)
I could put it up to a semi-democratic vote though
>>48247632
Not necessarily?
There are alternatives. Keep it vague. Give options so the reader can decide.
As long as not a lot of info on the setting is given, which isn't really necessary for a well known universe like this, it isn't that important to go in depth about it.

I think that depends if he wants just to make a "You are a Jedi" vs "You are a character in the Star Wars universe." People would want the option to join the Empire or the Rebel Alliance.

I think its worth noting that, like I said before, this would be my first cyoa. Everything is hypothetical right now.

http://pastebin.com/zC48ut6s
Let me know if anything makes no sense, seems terribly over or under powered (would always take, or would never take) or otherwise is shit. Feel free to suggest new content too.
The mandate for items is "something grandpa might give you when you go away to school", particularly focusing on useful things, and allowing to be magical or not, but generally not easy for a young teen to otherwise obtain.
Powers should generally be effects that are fundamentally inherent to the person rather than an active effect of willworking, as that kind of thing would be learned in classes.

The points are for being non-human, you have the option to take multiple just because I have no reason to deny it to you, and there will probably be some dodgy frogposter who wants to abandon his humanity altogether. If you already have wings and horns, I don't think having goat pupils and red skin gives you enough of an additional penalty to be worth extra points.

TL,DR: Changes in blue text.
Okay, after agonizing it over most of the day, I think I finally figured out a system which lets you have awesome descendants without overrunning the world with mini-gods. Essentially there are now two sets of inheritable powers, the relatively weaker ones that you can purchase for ALL of your descendants (which correspond precisely with the powers that can be purchased for all members of the species in the DLC), and more powerful abilities, which only a limited number of your descendants can have at any one time.
If you choose the latter option, the fun part is you can choose which descendants get the powers, such as setting trials to earn them, or just personally granting them to whichever descendants you deem worthy.
There is a similar option if you wish to be able to grant powers to great heroes without them being similarly descended from you.
To make things as simple as possible, the Level 0 powers are now the ones that can be potentially granted to entire species.
Some changes were made to the physical powers. For example, Impervious goes up to level 4, now, which is the only way I could keep balance without making people who want to tank bombs very, very sad. It costs 16 points! BUT, you now have 110 points to build with. The highest level of Impervious is the single most powerful ability, so it should be the most costly. Given the new point limit, there is no build I have seen yet, barring the insane Diet-2-flood-the-universe-with-bodies build that cannot be reproduced in this new version. So, no whining, please.
A new drawback was added, as well as "Binding" magic, and some other small changes. ALL changes I made for this version are marked with blue text, so it will be easy to see what is different.
I sincerely hope that I will not have to make any more significant alterations to this. I really do. I hope it satisfies.
Back to finishing the DLC, now.
>>48248805

>>48248834
>Changes in blue text.
Where?
>>48248957
I'm open to alternative suggestions that place a limit on the number of people that can attain the higher level powers.
>>48248974
No, it was 100. A lot of people got 140 after taking 40 points of drawbacks. Now you can get 150 after taking 40 points of drawbacks.
>>48248990
In the document itself; things that are changed are in blue.
>>48248991
Don't limit it. Who the fuck cares what people do in their reality?
Powers should be easier to obtain/inherit in high magic worlds regardless.
>>48249003
>In the document itself;
Please don't just do this. Actually put a changelog in the thread so i don't have to meticulously crawl over every single page.
>>48248834
So
>Temporarily Lost brings you 20.000 BC
>immediately complete Dark God by killing the few hundred humans
>immediately complete the Historian because there will be no human history hence there is nothing to record hence you have recorded everything there is to record
>achieve immortality
>wait for the next intelligent race to evolve
>live amongst them
Ignoring all ethics, would this work?I realise I'm taking a huge gamble on whether, when and what kind of intelligent race could possibly evolve on an Earth without humans.
>>48249063
Probably mulluscs.
>>48248787
>>48248855
Sometimes when I see stuff like this, I wish there was a way I could experience them. There's so many creatures out there with big or weirdly shaped cocks with cool or strange features and abilities. But alas, it can never be.
>>48249063
It would be faster to master the field of bioengineering and create a new intelligent species than it would be to wait millions of years for evolution.
>>48249027
I care, because I am to achieve some level of balance. If the higher level powers can be reproduced exponentially among your descendants, many of the quests become trivial to accomplish.
Not limiting it is flatly not an option. I'm sorry if that bothers you, but I consider this a very essential element of quality control. There will be options in the DLC allowing for a certain percentage of great heroes as well, if that helps, but this will not be a system in which you can make every human a superhero.
I'm sorry if that upsets you, but I do not feel guilty. I could have not added inheritance at all, or you can ignore it if you prefer. The only person who even posted a build using inheritance so far clearly had no issue with me making changes to it.
>>48249043
First, didn't keep a changelog. Second, I DID outline the most important changes in the post.
>>48249063
Dark God, yes, I suppose so. Historian, no, because you technically have to wait until present day. "At the time the present day is reached..."
Can someone please post the If cyoa?
>>48249124
I have considered me and my companions "repopulating" the Earth after both conditions are cleared but it feels kind of uncomfortable to be everyone's baby daddy forever. Same for bioengineering I guess. That's a little too Godly for me, creating my own intelligent species and all.
>>48249132
>certain percentage
Don't do this either, fuck's sake. Does mythology always contain some specific percentage of heroes? Can humans not achieve greatness and power on their own if some arbitrary cap has been reached?
>Ignoring the second part of my post entirely
>>48249085
>btw I'm a gril
>>48249154
It's either that or wait millions of years on a planet without intelligent life. I know which one sounds more uncomfortable to me.
>>48249154
The likely methods I had in mind of achieving a quest while under the "Temporally Lost" drawback is via using magical or technological uplift to achieve 100,000,000 population far earlier than it occurred in the OTL.
>>48249159
Only a certain percent of people have the capacity to be great. This should be obvious, looking at Earth today. Most people, most of the time, are not great heroes. Making it explicit is not a big deal. Chill out.
>>48249192
That's not how it works. There's no divinely ordained number of people that can achieve greatness at one time.
>>48248834
Would you please post the DLC?
>>48248834
>Can only have humanoid companions
>No lamias
>>48249132
>because you technically have to wait until present day.
I'd argue that since I have ensured the demise of humanity I have automatically completed it, because we have already reached THE END. There is no point in waiting until present day when there's nothing left to record. I wouldn't mind waiting a few thousand years for those points though. Just the way I reasoned it.
>>48249207
No, there isn't. There's a mundanely ordained number. Whether you think of it as genetics or social structures or just luck, it's a simple, obvious fact that most people do not become great.
The cause is not important. The result is.
>>48249192
That's not true though. It's not that people are incapable of being great, it's that there's no room for that many heroes. There is always a lot more heroics during terrible disasters for example, but you aren't going to see it when everything is going comparatively well.
>>48246973
>>48249132
Related question, sorry if it's already been asked or answered. For powers I teach to others, can they gain the capacity to teach others, in turn?
>>48249242
I have never felt it more appropriate to say "same difference." It doesn't matter why most people don't become great. It's just a matter of the thing being true.
And performing singular heroic acts is very different from actually being a great person.

It does matter, it's the difference between a retarded percentage and an explanation of a dynamic phenomenon.
And as for the "great person" thing,same difference
>>48249229
>There's a mundanely ordained number.
There isn't ANY kind of number. There's on hard limit where if someone tries to do something they are informed "sorry bro no can do to many cool people right now". That's not how it works. That's why I'm taking issue with acheld trying to put a hard percentage in. But he's ignoring all criticism lately for some reason.
>>48249207
>>48249229
Hell most of the time its all about perceptive and depends on who writes it down in the history books. People who do great things don't even realize it, and the contemporary society of their time also don't realize how great that thing will eventually become.
>>48249182
I'm very tempted to just nip humanity in the bud. The whole last Man on Earth theme appeals to me a lot, and I would be kind of an alien in the new civilizations that would rise in time. It would automatically be a completely insane experience: who knows what kind of intelligent species would take our place, what their customs would be, their architecture, their art, etc.?

This is not a CYOA where everyone can be a superhero. I'm unaware of examples of high fantasy where every human is 25 times as strong, for example, so I'm not sure why you bring that up. There will be options to have heroic figures by the time the DLC is finalized. I'm not sure what more there is to say?
>>48249213
Sure, attached, but the DLC, unlike the main CYOA, is not in a balanced or complete state. Costs may be changed completely; make builds with it at your own risk.
>>48249224
I'm fine with partial-humanoids, like centaurs and lamias if you like. I'm not going to bother clarifying that in the CYOA, but go for it if you want.
>>48249228
It's an academic point; I don't have a major investment in either interpretation. Go for it if you like.

>Ignoring all the talk against hard percentages above.
>>48249249
Not as is, and I have no immediate intention to change that (though I could be convinced of it if there's a good reason).
If you want to make a power generally "teachable" there are options for that under the DLC.
>>48249293
I strongly, *strongly* recommend you get Wellspring of Harmony if you intend to spend potentially millions of years alone, or even with companions. I'd get it for them, too, unless you like insane companions.
>>48249283
Hey, that's actually a fair point. The wording should probably changed to something like "prior to a fundamental change in human nature, only so many men and women will ever have the luck and willpower to achieve greatness in the world."
>>48249338
Including it in the DLC is enough for me, personally. Really, it seems like the DLC will address a lot of the complains about finite magic that are coming up in this thread.
>>48249332
Look, if I'm not responding to every single line you type, it's because there's not much of substance to say. I'm not set on hard percentages, I am set on limitations.
>>48249332
If he ignored your post the first time, he's not suddenly going to pay attention just because you posted twice.
>>48249363
The key issue is that you're dismissing different people and criticisms because you arrogantly assume they're a person you don't like or that their arguments are related to a different point you're not budging on.
The people you are ignoring are saying 'this should not be couched in hard percentages in how many people will be heroic/great', and an anon even made suggestions to you >>48249340 for an alternate way to do it.
>>48249370
Every time
>>48249304
I wasn't expecting them to love me back. I was expecting them to receive love in my stead.
Hmm... I'm not real, you say? Wouldn't that, like waifus, just make me more lovable? Existing enables loads of extra potential / minimum flaws. I'd gain all the advantages of 2D.
>>48248834
Given that your Nemesis would become "The Champion of Humanity" if you went for Dark God what would be the result if you went for a benevolent God Emperor. A monster who allies himself with the brutal Urgish and immoral Unseelie while aiming for a Dragon dominated humanity? Or would they just go full maltheistic/anarchist?
>>48249370
I choose to stay asleep t b h, my life is surprisingly comfy for the moment
>>48249393
As I understand it, the specific reason a Nemesis exists is to foil your quest. So you can assume he'd do whatever would be effective at stopping you from succeeding in that specific goal.
>>48248834
Maybe it's my self-preservation instincts, but I always take the options that allow me to pair effective invulnerability with my temporary immortality. Making those options more expensive only limits the potential variety of builds I'm able to create.
I'm fine with it, but unless I'm some kind of weirdo for valuing my life over the potential for magic powers, it might get boring to watch people post cookie-cutter builds over and over again.
>>48248834
Am I the only one who feels bad for the Nemesis? Imagine completing your quest and sparing the Nemesis, they'd literally stop being a Nemesis then because of powers beyond their control. Did they know they were nothing but a drawback? Do they experience an identity crisis at this point?
>>48249379
I really am not interested in discussions of "fundamental human nature" at the time being, so in truth I didn't read those posts very closely. It's not a matter of dismissing the opinions.
I *am* interested in issues of CYOA fun and balance right now, though, so I'm happy to listen to arguments that are coached in those terms, and not in philosophical arguments.
I don't believe I'm acting arrogantly in any way, other than asserting that yes, this is my CYOA, and yes, I have the right to say that I am not going to include an element I regard as fundamentally unbalancing. I'll leave it to the thread in general to determine my arrogance, though, as I don't have a right to say that I am or am not arrogant.
>>48249442
Don't listen to the haters senpai.
>>48249340
I'm glad that you like it, but I don't see much would change with that.
Why exactly do you think it's a good idea to make it so explicit? What point does this serve? Just leave it vague.
>>48249442
They are coached in that way. People would not find it 'fun' if individual humans they are interacting with will be incapable of learning or doing anything because an arbitrary percentage of people are already great and heroic. Because that causes a logical dissonance.

Yeah, really, the idea of "you're going to be alive for 12k years in a world of no infrastructure, no modern medicine, and loads of natural disasters" means you either stack up defensive powers of you die way, way before your time's up.
Ten thousand years is a long, long time. The chance of something potentially lethal happening to you gets pretty high when you live that long.
>>48249465
See >>48249466
It seems like it's pretty important to establish that it's not an "arbitrary percentage" to this particular anon. So making it clear that individuals won't be "forced" to not become great, but instead that, as a natural result of human nature, only so many people will ever pursue and acquire greatness, would hopefully unrustle his jimmies.
>>48249393
What >>48249420 said. In specific, your first example would certainly work for a Nemesis, though it wouldn't be the only possibility.
>>48249437
I've seen several builds that have not maxed out Invulverability. If many people max it out, I'm fine with that, as long as not everyone does. There are enough points that you can get basically invulnerable and still be able to pick up a few cool abilities. OR, you can make life a bit riskier and pick up more cool abilities. I've seen both types of builds so far, which I like.
>>48249438
Haha, that's hilarious. In my mind, what happens is that one day they realize that their aim to oppose you is pointless; it seems pretty organic from their perspective, but you can take it however you like.
>>48249482
There are numerous ways to deal with these issues without having to max out defensive powers. Now, granted, I would recommend *some*; I'd never make a build without Invulnerability 1, for example. But things like Major Divination, or other magics, provide alternate forms of protection. Or you could just make sure people don't know where you are. Or you could prevent weapons of mass destruction from being created.
>>48249508
Why? Don't dodge the question. What are you gaining from this?
>>48249508
My jimmies are double rustled because acheld will trigger a conversation or ask for feedback but then all of a sudden just ignore it instead of expressing approval or disapproval.

>>48249508
The thing about great descendants or imbuing heroes in the main CYOA, if you read the text, is that it isn't about these people "becoming" great on their own merit; it's about you lending some of *your* power to them. Sure, you can set conditions on them getting it, but it's still you choosing to share power with them. In that context, it makes perfect sense that there is a limit to how many people you can grant power to.
The thing about the heroes in the DLC... is that I haven't even written them yet. I'll be happy to have this argument further when there is something more concrete to base it on.
That's the fundamentally difference. The main CYOA is about *your* power. Anything in it is coming from you. The DLC is about alterations to the nature of the world.
>>48249515
I'm not particularly worried about other people, or weapons of mass destruction. I'm worried about earthquakes, large storms, tripping and falling onto something sharp, getting trapped somewhere with no one around and no means of escape, a housefire getting out of control, and so on.
You don't need humans to kill you. You just need to get moderately unlucky, once.
I do agree that Divination provides an alternative, but I find it hard to trust my life to a magic, if that magic 1) needs time to master and 2) is anything less than absolutely 100% effective.
I don't mind being thought of as overly paranoid. I'm just looking at the statistics and multiplying.
>>48249583
There's nothing wrong with being worried about any of those things, and taking defensive powers, but nothing that you described requires *maximizing* your defensive powers, is what I'm saying.
>>48249610
Oh yeah, totally. My build at >>48245728 (which I totally didn't see your reply to, thanks btw!) doesn't really max defenses. It's just defense-heavy.
Heck, none of that was even me complaining. I'm just talking about my perspective on minimum build requirements.

Eh, meta-cyoas aren't for me, but I wouldn't, personally, be mad if you used that to combine mine with something else and posted a build.
Now, the doubling or tripling points options honestly are kind of dull; you could buy almost every option with double points, and with triple points it would just be kind of "I get everything possible". I mean, go for it if you like, it just wouldn't be interesting to read.

You see this and you think "this thing is making me cheat when playing another CYOA". But that's not it at all. You aren't playing another CYOA, you're playing the meta-CYOA the way the author intended, and other CYOAs are just raw materials to be used during this meta-CYOA play.

>When not acting in bad faith, the human mind is capable of picturing anything.
Well, no, that can't be true. There are certainly things we can't picture because of issues of quantity, they are simply larger than we could ever grasp, much like an animal can't picture many abstract concepts that we are familiar with. And there are almost certainly things we can't picture because of issues with their qualities, things that just cannot be understood by a human mind because of their inherent nature. And last but not least, there are possibly things that we can't picture because even though we could if we ever reached them, they are external to the furthest horizon, on a conceptual level, that we will ever reach.
The universe is too large to picture with anything approaching clarity, even the observable parts of it, so it's unthinkable that a human mind is capable of picturing anything that could possibly fit in it.

Spend a few millennia chilling out, helping to domesticate animals with my strength. Domesticated elephants, fuck yeah! My beauty and strength ensures everyone nearby will be descended from me.
Eventually the peace ends when I decide to go full on conqueror of the old world. Nobody stands a fucking chance (at least before the DLC is ready). I might as well wear red gloves and a superhero costume because people are going to explode when I punch them. Every fight ended... with one punch.
In time I will construct a vast empire held together by my will. Peace and stability will be ours. My descendants will spread across the land, sharing my gifts to all. Using the empire's ample resources under my leadership I will fund research and the arts (I'm kind of cheating since I can introduce concepts like the scientific method early).
I pretty much have to take Wellspring of Harmony to avoid becoming bored over the millennia. There is no threat, no challenge. The Nemesis drawback is personally unpalatable to me for reasons.
I await the DLC.
>>48251059
Anon, are you suffocating, not breathing?
>>48251092
Yeah, if you max out the defensive perks as you have there's not likely to be anything that's legitimately a threat to you, personally, even in the DLC. Nemesis is really the only thing that can do that, and even then, it's generally no more than a stalemate.
It's really my fault, in the sense that I should never have included such high levels of invulnerability to begin with. But, I learned the hard way, once people are invulnerable you can't take that away from them :/
In short, if you want something that is actually a challenge in terms of combat, you're not going to find it with the stats you have. Perhaps I'll add a note next to the higher levels of invulnerability "Don't take if you want a challenge".
People seem to want to both be completely immune to harm, and also to be challenged. It's a contradiction I admit to not fully understanding, but I've been doing my best in terms of the quests.
In any case, I like the build; very appropriate picture! How you're using inheritable looks good to me, in terms of the kind of balance I was looking for.
Hmm... anons, would anyone make use of a drawback called "Vulnerability" that lowered your physical defense values? The idea would be that if you completed a quest you'd get them back, since drawbacks disappear.
I'm guessing "no", but it might satisfy some who want to be challenged without using Nemesis.

I'm confused about the reward for the Empire Eternal quest. It says you receive Commander and Economist for free, but who in their right minds wouldn't have taken those options prior to committing to that quest?
Does this mean you regain 10 points to spend upon completion of the quest, or do you get those mental perks for free from the get-go, or are you simply shit out of luck?
>>48251685
Sorry, went with the flow
>>48251685
Giving options is never bad.
Sure some anons get pissed off by them even though they can ignore them, but really, if you try to please someone with that caliber of autism you won't end up with a decent CYOA in the end no matter what you do.

It's not that i think options are bad, but... there is a limit. I don't want this to end up a CYOA like Highlander's that is so long that a lot of people don't do it for just that reason.
This is no disrespect to Highlander, and I'm sure his CYOA is great, but that is the case.
>>48251777

I don't want to do Highlander's CYOA because it's a huge effort and it isn't finished yet so I just wait until it's done. Same with your CYOA.
>>48251824
The main CYOA *is* done. Unless by "done" you mean I *promise* that I will never again add more drawbacks/abilities/options. In which case it will never be done.
The DLC is legitimately not done, though, so if you're waiting for that, perfectly reasonable.

>>48251892
The current version has every option that was ever in any version, or in any build, with the exception of one build who humorously abused the old inheritance option to fill the universe with humans wall to wall, and was totally fine with me changing it it.
The significance of the version number being 1.x, rather than 0.x, for me, is that I will always do my utmost to respect existing builds wherever possible, to ensure they are not invalidated.
I've spent most of today balancing the main CYOA, and I'm pretty confident that I will not need to do any serious rebalancing.
That being said, I will never, ever get to the point where if I come up with an idea for a cool power or ability that I will refrain from adding it. If that's your standard, then I'm sorry, but it may not work out between you and me. But I won't invalidate existing builds by changing stuff around.
DLC is still very much "hazard! use with caution"

Again, it's never going to be impossible for me to add new things. Ideas will become slower over time, no doubt. I mean, if you wait like, a year, I'll probably have forgotten about it completely. But, beyond that, I don't know what to say.

Look it up.

More drawbacks is always a good thing. People aren't obligated to take them after all and it'll make so builds viable.

I did. Here's a more precise statement: Quantum randomness in no way contradicts a deterministic universe.

What magic can be used to move Earth around? I want to be able to make tunnels and whatnot.
>>48252471
That's not how the burden of proof works, bub.
>>48252426
Roger, that.

Earth Elementals under binding could tunnel for you. How does that sound?

Couldn't I ride out the Temporally Lost drawback within a time dilated Pocket Dimension? Unless my math is wrong (it probably is), you'd only be about 40 years old if you stayed under time dilation until the present day.
If I didn't care to change history I'd take that drawback alongside The Slow Pace of History and The Course of Human Events, and then use all my extra points to pimp my pocket dimension and get a bunch of companions to join me. Once we reach the modern era we might all be middle-aged (whatever that looks like for individuals with peak-human stats), but we'd have several thousands years left to live. We might actually outlive humanity itself.

There are already plenty of drawbacks that aren't really drawbacks if you're just going to hang out in your pocket dimension, so while you're right, it's not really something worth worrying about on my end.

I like to imagine the rifle is 2-3x bigger than her. A lot of running away and hiding and then a slug the size of a baseball bat tears a hole in the enemy from nowhere.
