>>52663575
Obviously go with The Eye because it's such an amazing power.

The Skeleton because it means I can have it do the boring shit I learn to do with The Eye.

The Succubus because I'm a thirsty virgin.

>>52664212
I agree with this anon. Eye and Skeleton to obtain new skills that the skeleton uses for me, and Succubus for someone to do while the skeleton works.

Is getting teleported to the Australian outback a viable Misfortune for the Spirit? If so Mole's a fantastic combo.

>>52664984
''Half of you gets teleported to the australian outback''

So it's not exactly a CYOA, yet, but I am working on some civilization generation tables, here's a few examples thus far:

"Race: Catgirls (East Asian)
Culture: Central European
Alignment: True Netural
Territory: Tropical (Savanna) / Hills
Government: Imperial
Domestic Priority: Scientific
International Priority: Unconventional (Balance of Power + Ideology: Liberalism)
National Perks: Colonial, Trade, Massed Infantry
Suit: Hearts

Race: Human (South Asian)
Culture: South Asian
Alignment: Neutral Good
Territory: Temperate (Mediterranean) / Flatlands
Government: Oligarchic
Domestic Priority: Industrial
International Priority: Esoteric (Grand Ritualism)
National Perks: Espionage, Elite Soldiers
Suit: Clubs

Race: Elf (Western/Northern European)
Culture: Eastern European
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Territory: Temperate (Highland) / Flatlands
Government: Dictatorial
Domestic Priority: Intelligence
International Priority: Imperialism (Economic Domination)
National Perks: Administrative, Industrious
Suit: Spades"

Thinking about turning this into a nation building CYOA, but at least it will be a rollable tool.

>>52665358
Is there a question?

>rollable
Don't.

>>52665314
Excellent premise but poor execution. Especially since it's almost unwinnable.

>>52665563
I consider it like one of those challenge cyoa's. You're given tools but not the tools to succeed, just to help. its all on you as an individual to win or lose.

>>52663635
I wonder what goes through an author's head when they completely wreck their own cyoa with a single option.

>>52665586
I don't understand the people like you who randomly post shit ITT. At least you quoted the thing you're replying to but nobody knows what the fuck you're talking about.

>>52665585
>take this spoon, fight a dragon

The "enemies" are basically extremely enhanced versions of your own allies in greater numbers. Your own powers are weak. Time is running.

For good measure there came 57 before you, so odds are against you in all ways.

Is Zodiac anon here? Can you give the sauce artist from this pic?

>>52665619
You don't?

Abyssal Blood. Almost half your points, but you become an eldritch deity/monster/god after several millenia. So you either build a proper demiplane (almost no one did this) or pick abyssal blood, make yourself comfy, and wait for godhood.

That one option defeats the purpose of the cyoa.

>>52665586
>>52665619
MAYBE the last option? No idea though, i mean, i've played that one multiple different ways before and opinion is fine but damn, wtf is he saying.

>Blue blood
Diplomancers are always have stength in numbers, and being a good don would almost require this.

I assume that being a prissy would give me a chance to get 3 before getting their attention?
If I can get all 3 first, then good. If not, I'd go Grandma-Olaf-Ma.
>Vampires
The most dangerous with time to plan, and the other two probably wouldn't work together too well, since the dragons would likely want to eat the lesser god.

>>52665686
It's objectively bad design for a single option in a cyoa to overshadow all others.

Imo the cyoa would be better without it, or as an ominous freebie (watch out you don't lose your sanity in this plane of yours, because that's how the mad gods come to be)

>>52663635
The terrain cost doubling seems a little draconian, IMO. Maybe 'all choices after your first cost twice their listed score', but constant doubling is a bit depressing for something that's basically just aesthetic.

Anyway, I'll try it regardless.

Terrain (20):

Biomechanical (10)
Lake (10)

That gets me a pretty diverse and interesting world since lake comes with free wetland and Biomechanical can replicate a lot of other terrain features in a more alien way.

Estate (140):

Magical Focal Tower (20)
Hospital (10)
Settlement of 10,000 (20)
Planar Affinity (10)
Mages (15)
Automata (10)
AI Automated Workshop (25)
Portal (10)
College with Eldritch Studies (20)

Decent mixture of magic and technology, with an eye towards the long game: I can probably be taught magic at the college, the workshop combined with the automata will let me go more high tech in the future and gives me hope of repairing the portal if damaged. Eldritch studies isn't as immediate as cosmic knowledge, but is a lot cheaper and hopefully will come to the same thing eventually. Planar Affinity lets me slowly unlock all the other terrains to make the place way more diverse and fun eventually.

Gifts (90):

Immortality (10)
Charisma (15)
Mythical Steed (25)
Eldritch Bride (40)

Immortality is obligatory, and I'll trust in my magic studies to eventually let me replicate most of the other gifts since I have forever to study. Not really interested in a waifu with no free will, but I am interested in turning 40 points into 90.

Eldritch Bride (90):

Immortality (10)
Summoning, Greater (35)
Two Legendary Weapons (20)
Artificer Armour (25)

I'll not make her have to love me unconditionally, but since she's still perfect waifu and I have Charisma, odds are still strongly in my favour. I'll take her second legendary weapon, we can share armour (adjusting in workshop to fit), we can use Summoning to make pacts to get us other things as needed, especially if I need to pact to get magic potential.

>>52666201
>he would tell his family his trap bf is a boy
Shit taste senpai. The best is when you don't tell he's a boy and laugh about it when you go drive home and then fuck him allnight

Aren't vehicles kinda big? I mean, an APC is half as big as a fighter.

>>52666753
Trucks are kinda big I guess but it really depends on what "big" is. I wouldn't consider a regular car "big". I mean, have you seen horses?

>>52666830
No, I mean, we have a jeep, then we have a boarding ship that is 3x as big and a dropship that is 4x as big and equal in size to a fighter.

I mean, being starcraft/starship trooper dropships is okay, but I kinda expected BattleTech.

>>52663635
>Terrain
Caverns (240)
Lake (230)
Woodland (210)

I imagine a dense forest, with a lake in the middle. Beneath this lake, deep within the natural caverns, a path leads to an island in the middle of the lake. My estate exists partially on this island and stretches to the expansive caverns below. Without the coastline option, I'm not sure how far this Plane stretches. Endless forest, maybe? Maybe a rework would benefit from an "Edge of the World" category like The Village CYOA

>Estate
Settlement with electricity and plumbing (195)
Planar Affinity (185)
Tavern with Excellent Food (175)
Hi-Tech Hospital (150)
Harem (135)
Mages (120)
College with eldritch knowledge (100)
Library (90)
Automata (80)
Workshop (70)

My people live as I do. The homes surround my above ground estate and, like my estate, they exist both above and below. The caverns hold our secrets, a college of magic and eldritch lore serviced by a great library, a place of gathering, a hospital and workshop of great innovation, and automata who keep this all in good shape and maintain the strange power grid.

I wonder if we'd benefit from a Portal, allowing the the best and brightest in, as well as aiding my old world. But that may invite more problems than it solves. It's also a shame that the Cosmic Knowledge option for the library is so expensive, but maybe we'll be happier not knowing.

>Powers
Regeneration (50)
Charisma (35)
Immortality (25)
Super Strength (15)
Elemental Magic (0)

Survivability, versatility. I'd drop elemental magic if it mentioned mages/college can provide this ability, but in lieu of that I have to assume i have no magic ability unless a magic Power is taken.

>>52666982
Wait what are you talking about? I thought we were talking about the size of cars?

>>52667032
No, I am talking about star dust cyoa.

>>52666753
Vehicles are a little big, but it could also account for other things that take up room that are needed for vehicle maintenance.

Anybody know what the difference between versions 2.1.0 and 2.1.1 is?

Also I was thinking of a carrier build, but there's something I thought of that doesn't seem to have an answer in the CYOA itself. If I take ship weapon specialization, does that boost the weapons of those types on drones that my ship launches too, or only the main ship weapons?

Room cost reductions and a few other minor corrections.

Specialization says it only applies to the ship you're piloting; I would say it applies to drones you launch, but not fighters or frigates that have pilots of their own. I'm not SDA, though; I just like his world.

don't think it applies to drones. I think they're almost standalone units and don't have to be assigned to given ship, you just have to have enough room for them.

Also remember that bigger drones like brawlers get only 1 (one) free weapon, the rest costs money.

I didn't forget about that cost, but thanks for the thought I suppose.

I'm thinking maybe I'll pretend that if I take ship weapon specialization + computer science, then the bonus will apply to the drones as long as I'm taking the job of directly controlling their attack patterns.

Holy shit, the spelling errors in this thing.

>>52667906
You lack a verb, a full stop and the first word to be capitalized.

>>52667248
Okay, with my calculations for only 70(or 64) millions you can get:
Wasp fighter
N:20
HA:4
SS:5

Guns:
3 Spinal torpedos
4 broadside torpedos
2 Point-defense Flak Cannons.

For mere 646 millions you can outfit your Carrier with 10 wasps that can bring down Mothership with ease
And for 40 extra millions they would be upgraded with Banshee command mod into "Autistic Screeching squadron" able to destroy any shield and pierce any armor

Question about Stardust

It says that you can do up to 2 or 3 jobs other than piloting yourself, but then in the gunner section it says you need at least one if you have any weapons installed, same with Digital Security room.

Can't you just do the gunning and cyber stuff by yourself?

2 Spinal Heavy Laser Cannons
2 Point-Defense Flak Cannons

>>52668011
I think the intention is, "you need at least one, which could include yourself."

Unless you splurge for the mind-link upgrade, you can't do piloting, gunning, and cyber security all by yourself at the same time.

>>52668038
Okay, sure, one has mana powers, the other has psychic powers. But that's beside the point. The point is, THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE.

4 broadside Artillery cannons
2 Point-defense Flak Cannons.

>>52668048
I like them a lot. Feels less like powergaming to get all the skills you want and more like choosing the scale of the adventure you want to have.

>>52668093
Welp then I guess we'll have a Voyager style transporter 'accident' and merge them into one person.

>>52668146
That's retarded. This is CYOA, you obviously need to include yourself into a three way merge with them.

>>52668187
Eh, I just wrote my character so that they already had mana and psychic powers. I just wanted to merge the two of them so I had a waifu almost as awesome as me.

>>52668146
I was thinking about going with a more conventional way to get them inside each other.

>>52668225
Fuck it, if you can do that then I'm taking my changeling bloodline and enchantment sorcerer build with me here. Time to make a cruiser build and get stuck for a few decades in empty space I guess.

>>52668071
Tesla overchrager is tricky, due to it's low range this suicide fighters would never reach enemy important ship and will be taken down by much cheaper

Anti-Fighter fighter for ~39 millions:

N: 20
HA: 4
SS: 5

Weapons:
3 Spinal Missile pods
4 Broadside Flak cannons
2 Point-Defence Flak cannons

>>52668304
I think at that point you could just load up 4 Combat/8 Scout drones with missile pods/flak cannons for almost nothing.

>>52667422
Would you be able to shoot at the weapons themselves to disable/destroy them?

>>52668453
I imagine you can but you might miss and just hit some where else on the ship. If I were going to try it I'd use high accuracy weapons like lasers or missiles. But for taking a ship intact I think e-war to lock them down and strong boarding parties would be best for that.

>>52668048

Prove that this isn't objectively the funniest destroyer tactic, you can't.

>>52667733
Only thing I'm thinking of changing is hull reduction mods. I don't think it's a good thing to have destroyers move as fast as fighters because holy shit that's game breaking in my eyes.

At the very worst, I may tweak defensive values but I'm comfortable with the gun hardpoints and hangar spaces they have now.

Cruisers And battleships are likely going to see a small buff to hangar spaces, but must enough to make more sense given their size.

I think people keep interpreting my needs for slight balance changes to be "aww man my ship is gonna be the worst in the CYOA now".

Trust in me, friends. Trust in SDA.

Any chance at clarifying the whole tracking/accuracy argument?

>>52668992
you can put different caps on max navigation for every class, so 25 for fighter and frigates, 20 for destroyers, 15 for cruisers and so on

>>52668992
How "very small" of a group are the Gazers supposed to be, exactly? Compared to the others in the origins, would you say they're the smallest? I've asked this before, but the reward you get from T4 Asunder, Sweet, is it just regular power armor?

I thought of that, actually. I might consider it but that would be difficult to balance if not implemented correctly.

>>52669076
I leave up that interpretation to you, but no more than enough to cause havoc. No more than a few hundred operators, maybe.

Wait for Apocalypse. I intended on working that on my time off next week but it seems you guys got me involved with Star Dust again.

>>52668986
I guess it kind of is with CYOAs that have drawbacks, but even then you're usually still on the same power level but with more options.

Here each tier is head and shoulders better then the rest, but has increasingly more responsibility and less happiness.

Also nice build.

>>52663498
Reason: Protection/Conquest(if favorable)
Tank Type: Artillery-Class

Commander Skills: Morale + Strategy

Upgrades: Sniper + Camouflage + Phoenix Rounds
Operator: Pierre Locksley
Gunner: Marcelle Browing
Driver: Penny Hathway
Mechanic: Agnes Kagutsuchi

Mission: All of them.
>Stats:
Cannon: 5.5 (2[tank class] + 0.5[commander strategy] + 3[crew])
Armour: 5.5 (1[tank class] + 4[crew] )
Speed: 5 (5[crew])
Tactics: 6.5 (1[tank class] + 1.5[commander morale] + 1[commander strategy] + 3[crew])

The final stats ended up surprisingly balanced for what I was expecting. That said, frequently I would use Marcelle special skill so that canon get 6.5 stat and speed only 4. The idea is operate just like a sniper would (and with the sniper help), moving stealthy and fast if possible, and doing big damage from the distance. Tactics and Cannon would be the main stats, tactics because I may end up heavily dependent on the sniper. Because this is my intention of tactics for ALL missions, I guess the 25% increase in chance of success from Pierre would always be active, that’s why I choose him over Eleonore. The other characters were chosen just because they were the best in upgrading their function related stat.
I think it’s a solid build to most missions be fine, what most concern me is Skaldland Countryside, because killing enemy infantry in mass with Phoenix Rounds may be a problem because of civilians. I don’t fear tanks in general, only other infantry tanks with ablative armour may be a big problem, hopefully I can spot and destroy them before the reverse.

>>52668992
>Trust in me, friends. Trust in SDA.
I'll thrust in you the day you make an author waifu cyoa but not a moment before.

There's about four years of difference depending on the interpretation of that.

>>52669134
>No more than a few hundred operators
>despite you being able to pick (more than, I assume) 500 Gazer Operators

>>52669158
DLC:

Expanded Crew (Akeldama[canon])
Mission: All of them.

>Final Stats:
Cannon: 7
Armour: 5.5
Speed: 5
Tactics: 6.5

In practice, again, cannon most of the time will have stat 8 and speed 4. I guess with 8 cannon I should be able to one-shot most things and enemies with ablative armour won’t be that much more of a problem. I guess the Phoenix Rounds also probably will one shot the zombies, so Lumiere Rounds won’t be so much important.

>In due time

H O P E

Just started on this one. Needs a lot of work, but...

My dear, dear friend. My dearest of all friends. The one friend I never got to meet while I was breathing...

If this missive comes as a shock, I am not surprised. Our conversations have always been brief and glib, but I sensed in you a kindred spirit unlike any other. And since you will, in time, understand why I have done this - and that it is due to affection, and not loathing or worse - I leave you my curse.

Take heart - you will be able to choose the manner in which the curse manifests (one of many things I have negotiated, for lack of a better term, during my time as its host) and my estate will be able to leave you with a few boons to make your new duties easier.

Good luck. May health remain with you as long as you have breath, and may you ever escape the gaze of She Who Waits.

-(ILLEGIBLE SIGNATURE.)

PS: I know I still owe you a Coke. That's being taken care of as well.

=========

MANIFESTATIONS - Choose two.

=Shadow=
Your shadow has a life of its own. When it is dormant, it will flicker and move in ways that are unnerving and unnatural, but hard to pin down. When it awakens, you will be able to hear its whisperings, malevolent and muted, as it plots to take what it can never have - your body. Take care. Your shadow is older than you, older than any of us, and it has seen things that no one alive could know of.

=Skin=
The replacement of your epidermal layer will be painless, although it will itch for the first year or so. It will not stand to see you injured, unless it is especially angry at you, but it transmits what it wants you to know via touch, not everything there is to know. If anyone asks about the change in your complexion, assure them that the lawsuit against the skin cream company is ongoing.

>>52669134
navigation for big ships can be nerfed only four ways:
1.different cap than 25 -crude way, but does it's job
2. lower their standard speed - worst way, punishes even those that don't won't sanic speed
3. Less afterburner stacks - so for bigger ship maximum upgrades would be 2 or 3, cuts min-maxers where it will hurts? Could be changed to +% navigation so slower the ship worse the addition
4. Hull reduction change, as right now it's free +2 navigation for those who doesn't need so many extra rooms

I don't see any other ways of changing speed question

>>52669266
=Blood=
Your blood boils inside you. It drives you onward, eternally furious, eternally restless. Sleep is a memory, the very notion of rest a fevered hallucination. Both are for the weak. Your duty drives you, and anything that would stand in your way is meaningless.

=Boils=
The sores are never visible; they typically manifest in the throat and mouth. During lulls in the infection, they will present with a quiet, throbbing ache - no more, no less. When they flare, however, eating will become agonizing (at best) and you will be unable to speak intelligibly - unless you're talking to someone with a working knowledge of Sumerian.

=Hand=
Your left hand is now useless from the wrist down. You can hold a pen in it if you focus, but nothing else. The fingers will not respond, and you cannot feel any sensory input but an occasional phantom pain. Take heed when it does decide to move - it knows nothing of subtlety, and will try to complete its tasks in the most brutally direct way possible.

=Bone=
You know things, deep down inside - more literally than anyone can know. The neural tissue growing in packets inside your bones will eventually give you, in effect, a second mind - one subservient to the first, but one that interfaces oddly. It does not process things in a way that is easily understood - and pray you do not break an arm. A seizure is bad enough with one brain to worry about...

=Dread=
Oh dear.
Well, I suppose you made your choice. The lack of a visible hindrance may be a boon to you for some years, but... well, I'd use those years well. You will have less time to master your curse than I did. And I suppose there is something to knowing that you will never know the all-erasing silence of oblivion.

>>52669222
Yeah. It wouldn't make sense, unless you write it so it does.

But like I said, it's up to your interpretation. Maybe some else has a different idea, so long as it works.

>>52669240
There's always hope.

>>52669266
Is this going to have a happy ending or is it just going to confirm my belief to NEVER BEFRIEND, TRUST OR TALK TO ANYONE BECAUSE THEY WILL GET YOU WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT!

>>52669134
Let's say I took a destroyer and crammed as many scout, combat, brawler, and even bomber drones in it as I could fit with max hangar space upgrades. Then I took the Rogue Drones contract up to Tier 4. How deadly would my drones be? Also, could a Combat Repair Drone repair other drones, could a Shield drone protect them, and do command mods that benefit allied ships (PI Control V6, BH Command VR, MI520 "Visage") affect drones? In short, if I took a destroyer, capped out the hangar space at the highest possible (either the Wolf or the PI Vd3), and filled it with drones, how badly could I fuck people up without ever fighting them in person?

>>52669301
Looks like you might need to update the crew archetype numbers depending on the descriptions on the 1st page, and I'm not talking about the cost.

>>52668726
No, the tweaks and buffs to bigger ships probably won't come till next week when SDA will have a bit if free time.

>>52669292
DUTIES - Choose one.

=The Ill=
The hospital has not been updated in thirty years. The basic equipment has, yes, but the facade and the administrative machinery... and the advanced diagnostic equipment... have all been frozen as they are, so as to better serve their patients. They are not like us, though you are kin, in a manner of speaking. It will be your duty to ensure that they are cared for, and that the disease does not spread. I regret to inform you, however, that your staff will only scratch double-digits for individuals on duty at any given time. They are well-trained, but to them, it is not duty - just a job.

=The Forgotten=
To be written. Library that holds things man has forgotten. Will attract seekers of Serene Knowledge.

=The Apostate=
Those that learned the truth about the Gods. Followers of the New Path. Heretics.

=The Wretched=
Victims of the First Conspiracy. Nameless, non-entities. The underclass of the underclass. Criminals with no other path.

=The Delirious=
Enlightened beyond enlightenment. Aware of the existence of All. Gibbering, unintelligible but for spurts. Must be watched carefully. Especially when they escape.

=The Fitful=
Possessed. They that contain things that can never be let out. Living containment vessels. They will last longer than you.

BOONS - Choose two - haven't written these yet.

BANES - You must choose one - no man is touched this way without notice. For each Bane after the first, you may choose another Boon.

>>52669301
I want you to put your hope in my heart

>>52667519
yes, and people don't die if they killed

>>52669357
Sounds interesting. I'd probably pick Shadow and Bone, and be bound to the Library. You planning to put images in, or leave it as just text?

>>52669301
Does the fact that the 0G Mobile Suit takes up 2 hangar spaces mean it's MUCH bigger than a normal suit of power armor? If so, it seems a bit big for a single person to operate.

>>52669313
Happy? Perhaps not, omae. But satisfying? That... that may be arranged. An ending where a body can stretch back and say "It was not the life I wanted, but it was a good life" as the light pours in, and eradicates all.

0G Mobile Suit is a gundam, of course it's bigger and stronger than normal power armor

>>52669442
Cool. I'll add it to the list of things I'm looking forward to.

>>52669415
It's not power armor, it a flying mech.

>>52669494
I just figured because it mentioned being an upgrade, it was just a better kind of power armor than the standard.

>>52669357
>BOONS - Choose two
>BANES - You must choose one [...] For each Bane after the first, you may choose another Boon.
I'd highly suggest that you just reduce the amount of free boons to one and make banes entirely optional. Alternatively, have one of the boons be a way to dodge the obligatory bane.

>>52669460
>>52669494

Glad you approve. And since it seems that some of the denizens of this thread prefer to use names, I suppose I'll slip on the old nom de guerre...

Ahh.

Still fits like a glove.

>>52669532
You'd have then struggle through their duties, hounded by the manifestations of the Curse, WITH a dark thing hounding them with but a single boon to aid them? The Estate is not quite that heartless.

I suppose I should really start putting together the boons, though. Welp, that's the next step.

>>52669565
Borderline psychosis and obsession is rarely a good thing. And where does it say that you will require rest with the Blood manifestation in play?

>>52669537
you can attack enemy boarding ship, open it's hull and eat boarding party with your mechanical jaw

>>52669266

Point being that drawbacks should be optional.

>>52669606
I assume you're still Human. If you don't need sleep, that's fine. I don't get the psychosis and obsession thing. It's just determination.

>>52669640
No, I said defend. I assume its size would make it hard for it to move through corridors, maybe not rooms. At least on bigger ships.

>>52669676
the author posted a list of things he wanted to include in it and someone made a shitty second page 2 while adding nothing he made himself
aside from that, no

>>52669718
offense is best defense, but i you want to defend it inside the ship I'm sure inside of the destroyer or cruiser it will be able to move through most hallways

>>52669690
The keyword here is curse, anon. When has a curse ever been solely beneficial?

>>52669760
and the best offense is fucking your enemies into submission turning them into your loyal slaves that get weak in their knees when they see you.

>>52669690
>Point being that drawbacks should be optional.
Just because most CYOAs do it that way it doesn't mean every single one has to.

>>52669858
Judging by what's written, it looks like the curse is done via the Manifestations (and Duties, I suppose), whereas the Boons/Banes seem to be granted separately.

>>52669746
Can you post it?

>>52669924
But anon all CYOAs MUST be comfy and easy! You can't add things that make him worse!

>>52669937
It's at least a year old so even if I have it I'd be searching for half an hour.

>>52669924
>Just because most CYOAs do it that way it doesn't mean every single one has to.
True. Forced drawbacks just rub me the wrong way, so I'll generally suggest not having them.

>>52669291
I wonder if there should be a distinction between 'forward speed' and 'turning speed'. Afterburners might be able to shove a big ship in one direction to chase down smaller ships, but it won't help it to turn around if the smaller one changes direction.

>Legend.
I always want the farthest reaching adventures. There's a time and a place for the local, the personal and the more intimate antics, but at the end of the day I love the idea of working toward goals that are earth-shaking in their nature even if no one ever knows of them. A hunter of the grand, glorious and terrible yet keeps a low profile because most of my actual quarry are outside-context problems for most people.

>Dragoon
Small creatures can still turn the tide of events, and size is one of many ways to be powerful and dangerous. Besides, flying around through the air sounds like it'll be a blast to practice with.

Precision I (Dragoon)
Sentient Sympathy (3/30)
Magic 4 (Light) (16/30)
Endurance 3 (26/30)
Improved Lung 2 (28/30)
Regeneration I (29/30)
Strength I (30/30)

Kraken King Companion (4/5)

Air Belt III (Dragoon+3/8)
Weapon III: One-handed short-spear.

The Kraken and I have gotten along pretty well since our initial rocky start. Grasping tentacles weren't able to catch me warping around in illumination, while I was hard-pressed to get a real good jab in and had to focus my magic defensively. The commotion caught the attention of some big sea-serpent that we both turned on and, a bit of a fight and a meal later we started establishing communication; gestures, light patterns, color-patterns on its skin, etc.; King's pretty smart. Since I'd managed to befriend the thing, I got moved almost immediately to aquatic transit protection. Suits me just fine, traveling the world and so forth. Good gig, helping people get where they're going safely, and occasionally deviating to go see if we can catch some island-sized shark or giant enemy crab, or some other freaky fish thing down in the depths that comes up under the moonlight.


And then She came along. Really going to hope I can convince the handlers that her reputation is well earned and worth a bit of a shuffle on assets. Hope I can sell them on the idea of an unstoppable duo.

Looking for pictures of three male characters for my cyoa. Preferably anime style because I don't want to mix styles. Going to check the resources from the pastebin anyway but won't hurt to ask here. Info about my boys:
1 - smug alpha male in suit. Designed him as mediterranean/italian but can make him white too. He's gay. Attached picture is what I'm going to use if I won't find anything better.
2 - shy, skinny, average guy - basically something to make anons think "he's like me"
3 - dude bro/chad type, he's a friend of number 2 so don't want to make him look mean

You'd have problems with cooling if you have a 980ti, at least until more recently advancements. Though unless you are a hardcore FPS gamer you don't really need a graphics card that intense.

Heavy Armor: Laminar Entwood (4)

Challenge:
Mega-Yandere

I'm superbly well-suited to the position of Assassin, with abilities that let me fight on par with pretty much anyone. My attacking strength is good but not top-tier, but my absolute regeneration makes me pretty much impossible to stop. I can also effectively fly with my magic and air belt combined, which is nice. I'm actually a shockingly good Titan slayer for an assassin thanks to my maxed-out poison, which I can direct with my air manipulation.

If possible I want to actually hide my powers and live as a Great Hunter, which I think should be doable given my perfect stealth ability and flexibility allowing me to replicate the skills of pretty much any specialisation. I'll hide my control over the Roc and Phoenix.

This is especially handy with Mega-Yandere, since it means I can follow her to other cities without too much trouble and avert a large-scale crisis. If I really can't pretend to be a Great Hunter for some arbitrary reason, I'm fine going rogue. Both of us are unkillable, she's already immortal and will make me immortal, and we can use our stealth powers to pretend to be ordinary and spend time in cities whenever we get tired of living as outsiders. This is also really good because being immortal means that one day my Dragon whelp will reach full ancient form, giving me an awesome ally who's presumably way more friendly to me than the standard ancient dragon.

>>52670884
Just download more RAM. You can never have too much of it.

>>52670944
Eh, all right. A sample size of one isn't enough to form a solid stance.

>>52670944
I looked at your guide and it suggested a worse processor than I have for the Great tier.
Feels good man. My GPU is outdated as hell but I fear you can't update the GPU and RAM without needing to make other changes.

Best case scenario, you just plug the additional RAM in the open slots.
Worst case scenario, you have to remove the old RAM to put the new comb(s) in.

That's good to hear. All this computer stuff is too confusing. There's motherboards and power supplies that needs to work together with the part but it also has to physically fit in the case.

>>52671196
I don't know. I think I have just under 3GB of RAM, if PhotoShop is to be believed. I'm gonna open up my tower and see that the motherboard looks like.

>>52671197
That's true. Even if I can't just add more combs, if I buy a bigger one than I already have, it'll still be an upgrade.

>>52671255
Just download Speccy, select RAM and post a screenshot. You should already have it, though.

>>52671255
By the by, is your OS 32bit or 64bit? 'Cos you can't use more than ~3GB (total) if it's the former.

So PhotoShop says that using 100% of my available RAM only yields 2786 MB.

Speccy says I have 8192 MB.

Wat do.

>>52671563
Use 64-bit Photoshop, not 32-bit.

I'm using the free version of CS 2 off their website; I don't think I have options. If that's what's holding me back, I'm in trouble.

>>52671588
I have a TB of storage; it's the RAM that's the problem.

>>52671624
>I'm in trouble.
You are. Go "find" CS6.

>>52671624
Yeah, I realized just after posting the comment. I'm using CS5 and's not using much RAM. Up to 60% at most. The again, maybe CS2 is less..."optimized". In which case, save yourself troubles and just crack yourself the most recent PS CS version.

>>52671657
>>52671678

Which would be easy... if my ISP didn't block torrents.

>>52671694
What kinda shitty ISP do you have

>>52663575
I would take the Eye, the Succubus, and the Sheep Girl.

>>52671715
Literally the only one that covers the boonies where I live. There is actually only one option here.

I'll have to take a field trip to a public library or something where I can sit for a few hours and torrent things.

>>52671747
Gib a sec. Might be able to find you a torrentless crack. You'll need a moderately decent conection, though. Expect it to take upwards of an hour otherwise. Although depends on what CS you need. If it's CS5, I got the crack on my comp still. Could just up to Dropbox or MAB. If you prefer any other CS, I'll need to look for the crack.

How do you feel about players giving themselves things they didn't pick the options for in-cyoa?

Example; not picking fortified walls in a castle cyoa and saying you'll make it your first priority to build fortified walls, OR not picking the magic library but stating you're going to shop for magic tomes anyway.

>>52668048
Thats basically what drawbacks are in normal CYOAs.

>>52671781
No, drawbacks are free points.

>>52671779
If it makes sense that they could build walls, or whatever option it may be, sure. I mean, it's not like it's impossible to build fortified walls if you don't pick it, is it? It really depends on the choice.

>>52671775
As long as it runs fine, I don't care which CS it is. My connection is decent on this computer, and even if it does take an hour, I'm not in that much of a rush; I'll spend an hour here, rather than going out and sitting for an hour somewhere else. Dropboxing would work well.

>>52671779
I think it depends on how it's done for me. If people off-handedly just say 'I'll get magic some other way' or something similar, then I'd consider it cheating. If they put some thought into working out how to actually do it, or it's something that realistically should be doable like fortified walls, then it seems fair enough. Extra sympathy if the CYOA is excessively stingy with points.

That said I don't really care either way, since ultimately it doesn't affect me at all.

>>52671779
>How do you feel about players giving themselves things they didn't pick the options for in-cyoa?
It shouldn't be possible. You fucked up if it is. It's bad but you as the author should make it impossible.

I am a regenerating immortal physical beast of a hunter that can trade blows with titans, my companion is an ancient dragon, and I have the strongest person in the world (the mega yandere) by my side. Also, my power cannot be sensed by others thanks to my assassin perks.

I choose to give the middle finger to my "responsibilities". If the government turns on me, then I will revolt against the government. Between me, my companion, and my mega-yandere girlfriend I think we have enough power to defeat the lot of them.

I will become king.

>>52668048
If you take regeneration and endurance 3, and you manage to get really deep underwater and drown, do you revive instantly and start drowning again?

>>52671779
It depends on if it's justified. If they just include, very specifically, "self-repairing walls" without paying the points, yeah that's fucked up.

But if they write a little bit about how they'll put their workers on creating the walls and have a team of dedicated mages putting together an enchantment to make them self-repairing, "oh by the way this could take months", then I'm fine with it.

That's actually the reason I chose to spend points on a magical power, despite having a bunch of mages in an unograded college with an expansive library. Logically, I could utilize those resources over time to learn magic or other tricks. But it seemed like a cheap out, so I didn't do it.

You could also view the CYOA as a "starting point". All the points you spend on a build encompass your characters resources at the beggining of the adventure and do not necessarily preclude the ability or circumstance to acquire more. I believe Traveller works that way, as it's set up so your points are essentially for a requisition order when you're first inducted. I would not consider this approach possible in Battlemage, which has a very clear Quest and progression system. Although, with Battlemage, I like to imagine the spells and companions are learned/met on the battlefield, as opposed to allotted afterwards. Makes more sense to me that you develop your powers through adversity than someone giving you shiny green things after you did your job

>>52671925
You did it. You won.

I'm surprised more people don't realize that one legend and the most powerful being on the planet would be able to pull that considering that the divided nature f civilization and that there are only enough legends to have one per massive city. Honestly, the government should be easily convinced that it isn't worth the losses they'll take and should theoretically let you two stay together, if you wanted both her and civilization.

>>52672064
>Governments letting powerful people with disdain for society, who are a danger to everyone and their way of live, run amok
No. No way in hell.

>>52672096

>>52672096
>you can commit all of your resources and still be weaker than a opponent
>your opponent just wants to innawoods somewhere

>>52672064
As the earlier Assassin who preferred to go into hiding, the thought did occur to me. Mine traded pure power for versatility, but still packs enough of a punch and has enough tricks to conceivably pull it off given how overpowered the yandere is.

Ultimately I decided against it because I thought it just wouldn't be as fun being an edgy dark lord embroiled in what promises to be a very long war (assuming that other Legends have taken regeneration 3 too). Going into hiding and using Stealth 3 to live a normal life amongst humans whenever you want is all of the waifu and freedom with a lot less grimdark and hassle.

I don't want to hear anything about not being able to obtain bread if I don't pick the free bread basket option. I may not have that one free basket but I can still go out and buy some.

that really depends,
1. on one hand there are mundane upgrades could be taken "later on", such as most basic upgrades if it's country or ship
2. Magical upgrades that they shouldn't receive if they opted from taking them as choice. For example if cyoa gives immortality, but you opt for stronger power and gain immortality later
3. Scumming power by cheating or finding walkaround how to gain it
first is okay, next two not so
