This is a masterpiece

If there are any authors here, how do you guys come up with your ideas?

>>50362001

Coming up with ideas is the easiest part. You're just sitting on your ass when you suddenly think "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if I did <thing>?".

Making that <thing> into reality is where the problems actually start.

Make cyoas about things you like to begin with. More like "Is this fun for me?', not "Will this be a good cyoa?".

>>50362064

Ivan the Fearsome had a daughter of renowned beauty named Anastasiia. Ivan did not like her because he had wanted a son. His coldness and open dislike of her made her very rebellious, and she refused to marry any suitor her father suggested.

The father-daughter conflict came to a head when Ivan found out that his daughter had converted to the old faith. He hit her very hard and had her exiled to the north. By this time he had the sons that he desired and didn't think it was such a big deal.....


Up north, the treacherous Helgi the Seer was happy to take in the disgruntled noble daughter of one of his rivals. He made her Lady of his frontier province of Severia and personally taught her about strategy, logistics and command. Anastasiia also gained experience defending Severia from Varangian raiders.

But Helgi was not helping out of the kindness of his heart. He had a plan to use Anastasiia for his own ends. When Ivan's sons began squabbling over their inheritance, Helgi made a big show of embracing Anastasiia as the daughter he never had and planted the idea in her head of taking the Tunguskian Borderlands from her vile father and incompetent brothers.

She sailed of the north of Lada, but was nearly drowned in a great storm! The Rusalka recognized her for her legendary beauty and regalia and took her, barely living, to the Hall of the Great Dwarf. Upon learning her identity and mission, the Great Dwarf made a pact to help Anastasiia on her quest in return for helping make the Tunguskian Borderlands an outpost for the mysterious magic of The Other Side.

Reposting so I can post my build laaaater on.

>>50361881
Oh my god, all this Russia/Slav based stuff makes me hard

>>50362001
They just happen m8, you shouldn't be making a CYOA if you're trying to force it if you ask me.

>>50361978
I haven't seen that one in a while.

>>50362039
This. Ideas are easy. Fleshing those ideas out into choices, balancing those choices to make them interesting, writing out the details of the choices, and laying the CYOA out so it's attractive and not just a text PDF? All much harder.

>>50362214
Haven't seen what in a while?

>>50361939
wow! probably one of the best cyoas I've ever saw

>>50362117
this really reminds me of traveller.

that said, when high is gonna post the new one?

>>50362308
Yeah, it even has that whole World/Quest structure thing and over 10 pages of Companions. Crossover when?

>>50362271
That CYOA. It must have been what, last thread?

Someone keeps posting it with the text "I haven't seen this one in a while."

Later today hopefully. Don't rush her, she's a busy lady.

>>50362001
Usually I have an idea backlog, but if it is empty, I just start brainstorming cool mechanics & build a CYOA to fit around those mechanics. If you're not up for something too experimental or innovative, just pick any "set." That is, any finite group of items that come in different types. It could be anything from Legend of Zelda items to pizzas. And then just apply arbitrary boons to each one and say, "pick one."

>>50362340
What CYOA, though? Your post had neither pic nor link.

>>50362320

A crossover would be cool indeed. Maybe an entire expansion to link them together.

>>50362354

>she

I didn't know High was a woman

>>50362365
Well, there's some contention, but I prefer to think she's a woman because I love her.

>>50362362
It had a link to >>50361978. Are you smoking the reefer, Anon?

>>50362427
The only link I'm seeing in that post is the one to >>50362362. Are you alright, anon?

I have this idea about a zombie apocalyps cyoa with superpowers and you get stronger when you eat human brains but half the effect when eating zombie brains. the zombies also get stronger the more they eat and some also have powers. the powers start with a halfhour charge that you can ration out over the day and you get a longer charge the more brains you eat. The surviving humans will get hostile/afraid against you if they find out you get stronger by eating their brains. Unfortunatly Im way too lazy and theres probably a cyoa like this already

>>50362499
Your tricks won't work on me, xeno witch. My faith in the emperor is pure.

>>50362551
There's a bunch of zombie apocalypse CYOAs, yes, and some of them even give you powers, but I don't recall any that let you grow/enhance your powers by eating brains (human or otherwise).

If everything I've learned about Highlander on here is true, she's a 17 year old lesbian in college who spends all night staying up with several guys.

>>50362830
So...she's sorta like angelanon?

>>50362001
I first start with; what do I want? How can I make it interesting? How can I expand on that?

Then you have an idea, which is 10% of the work. Good luck.

>>50362898
Kind of an equal but opposite. Where Angelanon obsessively reposts the fact same same builds over and over with no desire for improvement, Highlander obsessively tinkers with her CYOA to try and make it the best she can.

The day they come together and make a magic lesbian baby, the world will either end or be brought forth into a new golden age.

>>50362898
Highlander is an innocent treasure and producer of some spectacular content

Angel is a hate sponge.

That said, I'd probably go for Angel IRL. For some reason I dig chicks with issues.

>>50361881
Anyone know the source of the artwork for the Fool?

>>50362991
Highlander also appears to be a victim of schedule slip - no matter where she is, it's not Tuesday anymore. Wonder what happened to her?

>>50363055
Maybe, just maybe, she has a life outside of this hell?

You go a little nutty sometimes. Think bi-polar, but only with the ups and not the downs and on a longer time scale. You're just a bit of a spaz for a little while every now and then.

>>50362354
Highlander, any chance you can change the "you get violent spasms" under Commanding Word into something a bit more romantic, like "you feel compelled to do what you're told"?

Also when I pick Brother's of the Bite with Aquarius Complex, then Aquarius Complex applies to the single companion, right?

>>50363377
For a homophobe you sure picked a gay looking guy.

>>50363495
>Wait why do I GET money for that?
Because you can't control yourself in your manic states, so you'll do shit sane you won't approve of.

I have never seen Ivan portrayed like that, ever.

>>50361881
Times of Trouble seems like a nice CYOA, but it's so complicated that I could never manage to make a build because of my min-max tendencies. Too much variables to take into consideration. I might try do it "a little" every now and then to see if eventually I manage to come up with a build.

As a rule, if a drawback doesn't seem like a drawback because you're thinking of it one way, change the way you think about it until you wouldn't want it to be your normal state.

Does this thread have erotic CYOAs, like where you get turned into a woman for sex?

>>50363793
Are there any differences besides the second fetish?

>>50363835
No, those got booted to /d/. There isn't a lewd CYOA thread up there though. You could check the archive.

Well, there's Slut Life, and the Slut Life Exalted DLC thing, although you're not limited to becoming a woman in those.

There was also going to be one where you were made into a prostitute in some fantasy setting, but the author quit working on it and said that anyone else was free to try and finish it.

>>50363854
>No, those got booted to /d/.
Nope. /d/ isn't supportive enough of CYOAs for a thread to exist most of the time, and even then most CYOAs with lewd aspects either don't have NSFW imagery in the first place, or have a version without that can be posted on /tg/ just as well.

Yes, but I don't save them because I don't care about them. The only one I have is Exalted Slut Life. If you look in the pastebin, there are archives which have a lot of CYOAs in them. They aren't organized very well (or at all), but you can find a few there.

I don't remember why I chose this picture or what the hell I was thinking at the moment, but this is what I'm sticking with now, as I can't be bothered to change it. Besides, this option is gay anyway.

>>50363606

Sure, take your time, I'll be waiting for your build. But by the time you're finished, there probably will be another update, so you will have start all over again.

>>50363890
Slut Life got too complicated. I got my dick in my hand, I don't want to read all that stuff

>>50363287
>>50363306
To be more particular, I like to think about the way Demons act in Shin Megami Tensei games during a Full Moon: when under the influence of the drawback, you'll blabber nonsense, give random gifts to some strangers, mercilessly slaughter others, and sometimes join forces with someone completely contrary to your viewpoints. Albeit, that'll only happen during an episode, but that might be why it's a drawback.

>>50363895
>>50364392
Are you the author?
If so, I have some questions for you, some of them are the reson that I have so much trouble making a build.

How much que increase in inteligence in the Vsevolovich Branch affect my ability in intelectual skills? Is this increase constant? Does inteligence affect magical skills?

In particular, how much an increase in intelligence from this branch in an intelectual skill would compare to improve this skill through the Sviatolavich branch?

Also, suppouse that I get Precognition as a skill, and the Sviatolavich branch, and every year would use the special hability in this skill. Suppouse also that I use the Apples of Youth, and Cult of Veles, so that in the end of my life I could use 4x the special branch hability that I would "normally" be able to use.
In the end of my life, how good would be my Precognition skill in comparison to the special habilities of the Ratiborovich and Svetozarovich branches?

Also, not a min-max question, but, what is the chance of having more then one wife?
I'm interested in Uliana for political and habilities reasons, but Sarnay seems more my type in romantic aspects.

>>50364509

>I thought you said you not going to update it anymore. It's great news!

I never said I'm going to stop updating anything. I'm just taking a break from this particular CYOA, that's all. And eventually I will return to it. I still have to double the amount of units and bogatyrs, implement trade and taxes, add new spouses and foreign countries, as well as fix faction loyalty. But for now, I'm making a different CYOA.

>So is The Bastard.

Ah, fuck it. Replace everything!

...Or maybe not. I'll decide when I get to it.

>>50364634

>How much que increase in inteligence in the Vsevolovich Branch affect my ability in intelectual skills?

Let's say it's somewhere about +5 to your IQ or something.

>Is this increase constant?

Yes.

>Does inteligence affect magical skills?

As much as being smarter affects everything else.

>how much an increase in intelligence from this branch in an intelectual skill would compare to improve this skill through the Sviatolavich branch?

These things are different. You may figure out intelligence-based skill on your own over long time, depending on your own effort and nothing else, while bloodline power you get from the Sviatoslavovich branch is instant and will give you more knowledge on the subject the more you use it on the same thing. They depend on different factors and I don't think they can rightly compare.

>In the end of my life, how good would be my Precognition skill in comparison to the special habilities of the Ratiborovich and Svetozarovich branches?

Your Precognition would be far superior than what those branches are capable of, possibly even including their own powers in your set of spells.

>what is the chance of having more then one wife?

There used to be a Concubine law option which allowed you to take a second wife, but I removed it. I suppose you could say that you get another wife, but she won't be anyone from the spouses list, as they are too important to agree to be simple concubines.

>>50364317

>>50364800
Thank you!
I still have some extra questions, now that I was re-reading the CYOA with that in mind.

The Kladnets is a one-hand or two hand sword?

You said that the Vsevolovich Branch would give something around '+5 IQ"... if I had the Hereditary Monarchy, that intensifies the effect of the bloodline power, this would be around what?

If I take the apples of youth, would I see my spouse and friends all die around half my age? Is there a way to get more apples or something to prolongate the life more, or prolongate the life of other people other than me?

Would the spouses reconsider being a second wife, if refusing could threat the destruction of their entire faction?
...I'm not sure how much this last one would be viable as I still can't even make my mind about a build, but in case I find a really good one, I guess it's better to ask you now that I have the chance.

>>50364935
Also, sorry for another question, but I almost made up my mind about the build. What are the abilities of Blood Magic?

>>50362365
The universal war cyoa is based off of a webcomic called Kill 6 billion demons, and IIRC there's already some stuff from the webcomic in traveller

>TFW real life shit keeps you from working on your CYOAs that you want to make

>>50364935
>>50365025

>The Kladnets is a one-hand or two hand sword?

One-hand.

>You said that the Vsevolovich Branch would give something around '+5 IQ"... if I had the Hereditary Monarchy, that intensifies the effect of the bloodline power, this would be around what?

It would double, so +10.

>If I take the apples of youth, would I see my spouse and friends all die around half my age?

You won't if you share them, but otherwise yes.

>Is there a way to get more apples

You can try to go to the Underworld or send your bogatyr there to acquire them, but it comes with a great risk of dying or failing to get anything at all.

>Would the spouses reconsider being a second wife, if refusing could threat the destruction of their entire faction?

I'm sure other spouses would be probably already married to someone else in another country entirely, and by the time you are strong enough to destroy foreign empires they would be already too old to care about this.

Nigga no. Make characters, then figure out how the skills fit into it. Your character can be theoretically crap, but ride on wings of fluff.

It's an interesting dilemma actually, you can double your lifespan or get only half of that, but prolong your wife's life too.

the best thing is that you can stop giving her apples at any time if you grow tired of her and keep them for yourself to keep fucking young bitches for longer

>>50365374
Why not just save the seeds from the magic youth apples and use the seeds to plant a magic youth apple orchid?

>>50365178
What I meant by min/maxing is having to jump back and forwards between the different point systems. I have to carefully look at what I want from perks and items, and take into account you lose value when you convert points. In most cyoas, I can usually get everything I want without being careful.
Believe me, I go for story > power in all cyoas. I don't mind an inefficient or "weak" character if it provides a better story.

>>50365414
It is pretty obtuse the first time or two you do it. I've made like two dozen characters now, so sometimes I forget how arcane it seems when you're first reading it.

>>50365180
well the maker is lying then I guess

>>50365414
This strategy doesn't really work in waifu-type CYOAs, though. Minmaxing for your perfect build is usually the way to go there, because the "power" is basically "this is the fluff that I want and/or caters to my fetish(es)".

>>50365460
Most waifu cyoas I've seen are essentially "pick 1-3 waifus from a group" sort or ordeals.

>>50365453
No he isn't, KSBD, Universal War, and even Traveller all share background in Hinduism and Gnosticism, such similar imagery being found in other series. Such as the original Elder Scrolls.

>>50365568
Hell, KSBD itself is stated to be inspired by the deeper TES lore.

>>50365568
Because Traveler came first, Universal War just seems like a reskinned and shorter traveler covering references that Traveler didn't cover.

Now I'm going to ask how much you know about UW and Traveller.

>>50365414
The easiest way that I've found is simply to pick the number of perks that you want and then work your drawbacks and knicknacks until it adds up.

>>50364531
It would be fantastic if someone was willing to pick up where the author left off.

>>50365720
Blind pick: Sci-Fi

>>50365733
Not-blind pick: Probably the same. I don't think I can remember enough funny stories to survive the fantasy world, and then there's the fact that toilets are really nice. Same reason I don't really want to be the whale.

>>50365414
>What I meant by min/maxing is having to jump back and forwards between the different point systems.

I'm probably too used to messing around with Traveller, but the Credits are universal for all items and extra things, so I'm not quite seeing the jump back and forth through different systems.

>I have to carefully look at what I want from perks and items,

Fair enough, I can understand the sort of fatigue one may get from reading every single perk and item description and attempting to glean their actual purposes.

>and take into account you lose value when you convert points.

Very similar anon.

>>50365901
I'm OK with that. I mean, yeah, Sapphosphere has its problems, but wouldn't you have endless lesbian tea parties than wake up each day with nothing to look forward to but the endless grind?

>>50366101
It would be boring as fuck though.

>>50366101
Actually, I'd imagine the lesbian tea parties would have plenty of grinding.

>>50366101
It has it's charms, sure, but someone has to have the endless fleets of Giga Death Stars and multiverses of combatants to fight off the non-lesbian, tea-hating Eldritch Horrors.

>>50366101
Will there be any demi-planes of endless black oceans or flaming hellscapes?

I'd rather become a denizen of one of these in the new cosmology.

>>50365400
If it was so easy everyone would be growing them everywhere already and by everyone i mean everyone worthy of note ie royals. There is probably some misterious magic process involved in their growth

But the whole fucking sky is your goddamn toilet. Toilets don't get more awesome than that.

What did you even try to write? Aren't you American?

>>50366002
That an egregious pas-over of Traveller's lore, and this is coming from someone who's only been passingly listening to HL, and who has only read over the 1.35.

First and foremost there's a distinction between the Great old ones (GOO) of Traveller and the eldritch, entities like Nyarlothep, the colours out of space and the race of Yith have had hostile relations while the Gate and Key and others have aligned themselves with the Travellers.

Second it wasn't sentient life (Sapient?) but the Travellers who fought at the shit pit. The battle between the first, second and third is a whole thing on its own. That shit ended a long ass time before the 'character' comes along. At that point the 'Travellers' were a breakaway group from the cults attempting to bring the remains of the second into the physical realities.

I'll also make a note that Highlander has repeatedly pressed the possible distinction that the GOO might be completely lacking conscious as they are simply programmed to continue the second's legacy (returning reality to the cosmic soup)

Third, the godheads are an established thing and tied directly to the Travellers on Ae, not the universal scheme.

Forth and this is possibly the most important distinction, the time wars were not 'just cause murder hobo' but over how the Travellers would operate. The reason the modern murderhobos exist is because they won out over the Imperium of Man fan club and the Amish. The next one could be started by any number of reasons, all of which are better then 'muderhoboism.'

Yes, they both share multiverse settings and massive cosmological backround, but there are important distinctions.

>>50366244
>But the whole fucking sky is your goddamn toilet. Toilets don't get more awesome than that.
You're the kind of person who doesn't wipe your ass after you shit, aren't you?

>>50366565
Hopefully the next Traveler war is won by the empire builders. The current laws are really chafing to anyone that wants to better people's lives.

>>50366565
Honestly anon the important distinctions don't matter if the character isn't created with them in mind.

I could literally transplant the characters I've made in traveler into UW and vice versa, of course I'd have to retool them with options to fit their mold, but each cyoa has such a huge multiversal setting and cosmological background, literally every character build is conceivable in both.

UW is probably more mechanically limited due to be more sparsely updated and newer than traveler, but that's the only difference between from a player/character builder perspective, not from a narrative one.

>>50366773
I think it's much more possible to be extremely powerful in UW than in traveller

>>50366818
Well that makes sense. In one you're simply a multiversal mercenary in the other you are a shard of a god

>>50366818

>>50367458
I started noticing how many cyoas he's included NTR in. It's all of them.

>>50366737
I think part of the point is that the Travellers are deeply nihilistic. Being aware of infinite possible realities kind defeats any sense of progress beyond personal.

Oh, you've given medical aid to trillions? Well there are literally infinite more people you haven't. There are an infinite number of people burning in hell, and an infinite number living in paradise. Everything you ever do is a literally infinitesimal drop in the pond.

The only thing that the Travellers ever did that really mattered is preventing the GOOs from destroying infinity, and that's the only real reason they still exist.

>>50367486
Is it really in all of them? I thought they were in his most popular ones Pokemon Personified and Picking-A-Goddess.

Girls Military & Armored Core (His most underrated cyoas) don't have NTR.

>>50367458
That's called divorce. Not the same thing.

>>50367517
In that case, what's the point of actively inhibiting people who do want to help?

>>50367606
It's less about helping and more about being hands off. Non-Travellers lack a certain je-ne-said-quois that gives aptitude with time fuckery. If regular people started finding out there was time travel and dimension hoping, they might accidentally destroy reality on their own.

>>50367642

But time mechanics are still kind of a mystery even to Travellers. They don't want some yokel who knows even less than them accidentally imploding all the infinite realities because his home made tachyon pump had a loose gasket now do they?

Also, to be fair, the current incarnation of the Travellers are a bit more anarchic than is necessarily pragmatic, but again I think that just has more to do with nihilism and bad expierences in the past. They're both precautionary about empire building and generally against it on a philosophical level.

>>50367663

It's more than that, Travellers actually have special chronal properties. There is something inherent to someone that lets them get up to the shenanigans they do. It's something they test for I would imagine.

Look at the time stop device. It doesn't effect Travellers, or the stuff that detects non-Traveller time manipulation. There's something fundamentally different about how Travellers interact with time than how a non-Traveller does.

Does that mean Travellers are immune to Za Warudo and shit like that?

>>50367833
Likely depends on the source, as Travellers are already immune to the effects of the Time Stop Projector, but that's a piece of equipment. Magic might work.

>>50367606
Think back to the denial, the GOO did almost nothing to the Travellers, aside from their innate original purpose. Break down reality. It was the then Travellers who fucked up most of their own ranks when the unprepared freaked the FUCK out.

>>50367772
There's something to this effect with the way the bootstrap thing plays in. A Traveller can go back in time and prevent themselves from fucking up, but in the process invariably 'burns out' or gets killed by the past version.

Save the princess, but watch her wither away to age. Save the country, watch it descend into corruption and decadence until you don’t recognize it.

They sunder timelines apart, shaping them in their own image, struggling to their own causes. In doing so, they set further evil into motion, opposition and strife.

The only major thing here is 'DON'T LET PEOPLE KNOW YOUR A TRAVELER YOU STUPID FUCKS.'

>>50368627
The easiest I've found with big CYOAs is really to first write down everything that gives you more monies/power and then go top to bottom buying what you want, and then polish it last.

>>50368480
Probably not touched on because there's people who still believe in the Hindu pantheon IRL. Still, I'd go for Sati.

>>50368640
>“Cloak your presence to off-worlders, for though they are dust and ash, iron may be found amidst.”
This means you can't reveal yourself in any capacity.

>No Traveller may own another sentient being be it a physical, ethereal or artificial being”
This means you can't have pets.

>No Traveller shall use mercenaries, and other non-travellers such in the same fashion in their journeys, Ae shall remain under Traveller foot aside from a hallowed few.”
Means no standing army, basically.

>>50368804
You can reveal yourself a little, or if you plan on killing everyone you reveal yourself to. Look at the Hubworld where Aztecs took over everything, the one that's 1984, or the one that's set in a hive world.

Also, I'm sure Highlander meant Sapient, because there are pets listed.

But yeah, no standing armies. What kind of pussy needs an army? You're a Traveller son. Get your head screwed on straight.

>>50368838
Well just clone yourself and become a army of one.

>>50368855
I'm not sure clones would share your Traveller-ness. But maybe. You might start another time war though.

>>50368838
>You can reveal yourself a little, or if you plan on killing everyone you reveal yourself to.
Sure makes it easy to help people! Not.

>What kind of person needs an army?
Oh sure just let me personally defend an entire goddamn interstellar empire that'll go over well.

>>50368640
Define "own".

And I still haven't got an answer if I can move regular people between timelines/worlds/etc.

>>50368855
They tried that and it doesn't work. Ae won't even make exact copies of themselves.

>>50368884

>>50368884
When I say reveal yourself a little I mean you don't have to slink around everywhere. If you just want to play super hero, you can go to a timeline where you wouldn't stand out much and do it all you want if you don't tell anyone where you're from.

If you're trying to defend entire empires on your own, something has gone woefully wrong. Either with how you think this whole thing works or how you're trying to do it. You're a Traveller. Analyze the timeline and figure out the smallest change you could make with the biggest effect.

>>50368913
>Have you considered not establishing an empire
Then you're not going to be able to really help any significant number of people.

>>50368640
>“No Traveller shall use mercenaries, and other non-travellers such in the same fashion in their journeys, Ae shall remain under Traveller foot aside from a hallowed few.”

That's so vague and arbitrary. So can I captain a ship or does that break the rule?

>>50368950
The only way to help a significant number of people is to seize control. That's why forcefully preventing you from being anything but a shitty lone wolf who hides in the shadows is terrible.

>>50368951
Helping anyone is arbitrary and pointless.

>>50368969
You can pluck the strings of history. Seizing control is practically pedestrian.

>>50368969
But you're not the only person at any of the hub worlds. All of them have lots of travellers

>>50368988
Your chaos theory is bullshit. It only works in the broadest of strokes.

>>50369000
Who the fuck is talking about hub worlds?

>>50368908
You can move people freely between timelines for good purpose, just not back to Ae.

>>50368951
Yea and those people will get face fucked by even basic grandkids, god forbid you're fighting something bigger. Worse they have the possibility to face fuck you in the down-spiral.

>>50368952
I believe captaining a ship, participating in non-Traveller wars and acting in offworld politics is fine, it's just when you have military forces on your personal bankroll that issues arise.

>>50369012
What the fuck do you think the Seeders do? They analyze timelines, compare events, and then literally direct civilizations to grow in different directions by making whatever actions are needed at various points in their history. Like a fucking topiary. Remember, you can see the entire history of a universe laid bare. That said, any action you take is kinda arbitrary except in the one timeline. Every point of divergence just creates a different one where you didn't do it, so countless infinities continue to go without your direction. That applies even if you go the direct route.

>>50369013
>I believe captaining a ship, participating in non-Traveller wars and acting in offworld politics is fine, it's just when you have military forces on your personal bankroll that issues arise.

So can I hire a crew to fight pirates in a non-Traveler conflict?

>>50369013
Are you Highlander?

You come off as the high authority on everything Traveler related. Just let people fuck around with the cyoa, interpreting it however they and let Highlander sort out the rest.

>>50369012
If you aren't talking about Hubworlds, then the moment there are no Travellers/Pegs in a particular timeline is when that timeline is forever lost.

>>50368952
You can run for Doge in Regoridiaga-A45, so you can do political shit outside of Ae.

>>50369050
I do believe so. I think the law about the mercenaries is to prevent amassing armies to knock on Ae's door.

>>50369062
He's basically just paraphrasing parts of the CYOA. Different bits all make that stuff he said relatively clear.

>>50369046
In broad strokes. They can't really improve things in any significant capacity, only seek the realizations of the broadest of goals.Direct control will always be superior.

>>50369013
>god forbid you're fighting something bigger
There's nothing to do but fuck each other over at the moment.

>>50369050
I think so. Remember the law was founded back when there where only a few thousand travellers.

>>50369062
No I just literally have the 1.35 here and some of HL's bigger responses from the archives.

>>50369062
The thing is that a few of these questions, or variations thereof have been asked to Highlander before, and there's a complete Lore section after the Panic Buttons that can help answer some of these as well.

Besides, this looks more like old-fashioned arguing rather than acting as an authority. Let people argue about the CYOA and try to figure things out until Highlander returns from her coma.

>>50369105
>Let people argue about the CYOA and try to figure things out until Highlander returns from her coma.

Damn the sex must have been intense.

>>50369114
Blame Kit's high libido.

>>50369088
You're still kinda missing the point. Seeders do what they do for recreational purposes, essentially. Nothing you an ever do will ever create any meaningful or lasting improvement in the multiverse. Investing your time in it is a waste of emotional energy. I could show you a timeline where someone took control in exactly the way you want to and did everything perfect and everyone lived happily forever. I could show you an infinite number of those worlds. I could then show you each and every one being snuffed out by entropy, or fate, or even just existing forever and ever until it becomes boring to watch. Nobody exists for a reason, everyone is going to die, come drink beer with historical figures and pop culture references?

>>50369088
Unless you're planning on staying in a particular universe and ruling as a god-king, then are you talking about the things Higura has done/is doing?

>>50369105
Or they could be feinting ignorance just to piss you off.

>>50369140
To be fair, Higura is doing it because he wants to be king of the castle, not for any altruistic reason.

>>50369140
>Someone is breaking the rules
Not surprising. It's still something they're trying to stop you from doing.

>>50369132

>>50369212
To be fair, I don't think the rules were set up when Himura went full on Conquerer Mode. I'm assuming most of the reason why the Second Gens want him gone is for both cutting off the final ties to their unsavory past and Himura trying to start shit to have his Traveller opponents murder each other for him.

Girls Military doesn't have romance, and I don't think Armored Core does either.

Judging by the a few of the builds and Highlander's comments to them, you guys are aware that the 13th Time War may in fact be about what we are arguing?

Taking an active rule in helping the multiverses or just ignoring them.

>>50370253
Yes. I'm hoping the imperialists win.

>>50367380

>>50370253
I would think that the 13th Time War would be the Inheritors with anti-Admin folk vs Admin and anti-Inheritor folk. The screening of Second Gen seems to be fairly important with the Renegade and That Guy drawback giving serious reasons to escalate shit.

>>50369900
The only one more worthwhile than a gaggle of friends is A Single Moment, and all I can think of for that is writing down "dear past me, this is future me, buy Stock A on B date, sell on C date, put the money into D, sell at E date."

>>50370300
That is definitely boiling as well. We may see the 13th and 14th fairly close together, though which will go first is up in the air. And which is which is also up in the air.

I imagine many of the Imperialists would ally with the anti-Admin folks, since purging the Second Generation would make it easier for their own war to succeed.

>>50370271
I think it's pretty neat that he is incorporating builds into the lore.

I'd ask that the Maiden get more power points, just give her a cost penalty on the skills that are considered the domain of men, or at least give her a discount on magic skills. I understand why she's underpowered, but it makes creating a supernaturally bent wicked sorceress who everyone hates more difficult than I think it ought to be, considering Other Side units cost power.

Anyone have the latest version of Traveller? I think it's time I make my final build and delve into those dark realms of fanfiction.

In practice (official and player images) they just seem to look like any sort of human with horns. Of course we know that is because we have all just used existing images for them so I would be very interested to know what a commissioned piece would look like. Not sure making them insectoid is a good idea since they don't seem to have exoskeletons and more importantly many of them are romanceable and that means one of two things. They are human in ways that don't make sense, or only really weird humans would be interested.
