I'll be honest, I'm only picking summoning to bang nymphs and dryads. It's what Danny DeVito would want.

What was the name of that one slave market cyoa? Not the one where the only slaves were elves, though if anyone remembers the name of that one, that'd be great too.

The depths of the Earth hold many treasures. Gold ore yet to be smelted, gems yet uncut, such wealth that many men would kill for. For one such as I, such wealth will be easy pickings.
Deep into the earth I shall dig, summoning golems and perhaps trolls to aid me. So far deep I shall dig that only the most hardened of adventurers can dare to enter. There I shall build my fortress, my home, my base of operations.
Here, my golems and trolls shall dig, dig, and dig some more. They dig where I sense ore, they dig where I sense gemstones. They dig where I sense the treasures of Hades himself. And they will bring it back to me.
At my forge, I shall smelt the ores, drawing forth the strength of Iron, Titanium, Gold, Silver, Platinum, Copper, Bronze, and more. I shall cut the gems, turning sapphires, emeralds, and diamonds into the finest of gems. From these refined materials, I shall forge a trove of treasure the world had never before seen.
Of course, many of these treasures will be naturally unmagical, but that can be remedied rather quickly. All it takes are some negotiations with several enchanters and my hoard shall have a tinge of the arcane.
After all of this is done, I shall issue my challenge. Not a proud proclamation, but through legend and rumors. Rumors about a hoard of gold deep within the Earth, guarded by trolls, gargoyles, and golems. Even Hades himself guards it, some say.
So, adventurer, care to test your luck?

Travel to the oceans where my power is at its peak and my aging stops, then summon up some leviathan and krakens for home defense and sirens and mermaids for lovin'. Enchanting is there to give me a bartering chip with the surface world. Pressure seems like the most utilitarian school for a purely aquatic wizard.

Small patch, haven't had time to add much since the last update.
Give me your builds.
You can do a regular one, and a hardcore one... If you want... (I don't have a gun pointed at you).

Update 2.3.1:
>Vegetarian Food name changed to Veggies, to properly fit the intention of this option.
>Added a basic kitchen as an example of basic amenities of a small apartment in the description, to make clear that you can use that for lower cost options on the food topic.
>Specified that the ageless aspect of the granted years for hardcore is only after the completion of the basement experiment and for the granted years only. Not during the challenge.

Sword Damage - 8
-20 to Dex rolls, +/-5 to Tech

I basically have no armour, but I'm so fast I don't need it. In the event I do get hit I have point defense to protect me, although I'm tempted to give that up for more sensors. I'm not sure how useful Wifi is, so I could trade it out for thermals or rafar/sonar. My sword hilt is two feet long and projects a twelve-foot energy blade, to make hitting during fly-bys easier.

Anyone else want to post builds? We could form a team.

SLAVES
>Catfolk Warrior (600/2500)
The main force of my group of bounty hunters, most skilled warrior of the group.
>Nightmarish Doggirl (1150/2500)
So cute! My ultimate line of defense, helps guarding me and is extremely loyal.
>Martially Gifted Orphan (1400/2500)
The second main force of the group. Will prolly learn a lot from Catfolk Warrior. Helps with daily chores.
>Magically Gifted Orphan (1650/2500)
The fallback for when brute force isn't enough. Helps with daily chores.
>Watcher (2050/2500)
The thump card. Won't get caught off by surprise and might become an excellent tracker.
>Young Drow (2350/2500)
Prolly will be loyal. Will train her for the purpose of spying our targets, so I'll always know the best way to get rid of them.
>Cyclops Girl (2550/2500)
To take care of the group daily chores, such as cleaning and food.

COMPLICATION
>Debt (2250/2800)
I think I can be successful enough with my group to pay off the debt. But if I can't, it would be interesting to face them out.
>Hunted by a Slaver (2250/3100)
Should also make an interesting plot. Seems very skilled, but I don't think he can overcome my entire group. Seems to underestimate me, so I will take advantage of that.

ITEMS
>Normal Clothes x5 (2675/3100)
For Magically Gifted Orphan, Watcher, Young Drow, Cyclops Girl and a spare one for myself, for when I don't wanna be wearing armor. As regular clothing, helps with blending in.
>Leather Armor x4 (2975/3100)
For Catfolk Warrior, Martially Gifted Orphan, Nightmarish Doggirl (hope there is a dog version for this armor), and one for myself can never be too careful.
>Whip (3000/3100)
I don't think I'll have to use this on my slaves, but unless someone crosses the line. Also think of it as some sort of secondary weapon.
>Spellbook (3100/3100)
Must have for Magically Gifted Orphan to help out whenever needed.

LIFEPATH
>Boundy Hunter
I think it's possible to make good Gold and the always on the move life style.

>>54345260
>20 years (45 points)
7 full kitchen
7 gamer girl
2 heat/AC
10 Desktop
3 Jacuzzi and Sauna
5 Library + manga
1 Skylight
3 Medical Care +birth control
7 Lab research

I would take the RPG session, but an RPG with only 3 people , one of which being the DM and one power gamer doesn't sound that good to me.

No internet unfortunately, can't afford it without taking another bonus. The real pain is that with one desktop there's little for me and my companion to play together, although I should take at least one controller to be an implied peripheral for the PC. At least we'll be able to talk, fuck and if she wants to take a turn, I might find something to read.

It'd be a hell of a decade, I'll tell ya what. I'd pick the RPG session, but frankly I don't have enough people to do it in person, and I could just keep up the ones I run over Roll20 using the internet.

I'd much prefer full kitchen, but I can work with this. Looking at the veggies picture, fruits are included. So I can wrangle some salads and hopefully stir frys and enjoy some nice sundried tomatos or olives or whatever. If not, there's always gazpacho or something.

Or if all I get are raw vegetables and fruit I'll probably be miserable for a few months.

Giving up gaming would be dry, but hell, at least I'd be able to read nonsense and keep up with the news. Also having a conversation partner would be healthy.

I like the prompt in this one, the Op powers not so much. It's funny because the whole time I was thinking, "wow if I'm the one who was closest and took no powers, that's pretty impressive." but then I saw that ending.

I mentioned how brutally OP the powers were when it was originally posted. Strife said that's how he wanted it, so that's how it remains.

And then we were treated to two anons arguing about they'd fight each other at light speed and kill everyone else.

>>54346739
>And then we were treated to two anons arguing about they'd fight each other at light speed and kill everyone else.
I'm glad I left the thread before that point. Seems like the lowest, "edgy teenager"-tier of power fantasy. I'd rather even talk about clones.

>>54346835
At the very least, I like how the top tier
powers mention some side effects, like losing your empathy or connection to reality. The psychological effects of suddenly becoming a small god aren't explored very often.

>>54344309
That CYOA isn't very Awoo anon.

>>54345216
Yeah anon that version is very old there's been 42 updates since then. Give me a minute and I'll post it.

>>54347036
Cheers, I was wondering. I saw one a few days ago that looked new but was much more limited. Is that it?

>>54345260
Feedback:
We get more options but no more choices or default number of points, anon.
I like some of the new companions and adjustments to the old ones, keep 'em coming.
"Very low spec" is very vague, maybe something like "a PC which was of average specs 10 years ago" would be better? It'd amount to the same but give a better idea of what's what.
Same with the high-class desktop computer. It wouldn't be overpowered much and give one a boost to possobilites and immersion if one could lurk on a few more websites of one's choosing (news sites, image boards, lewd sites).

Maybe making a cyoa what do you guys prefer for a points system?
>X Points to spend on choices costing 1 point each
or
>X Points and the choices cost varying amounts

>>54347108
>>54347118
I don't think I often see the first one, so that one. I think I've only seen that first one when each point gives a multiplier or more of that choice.

>>54347118
It depends how balanced it is.
If every option is roughly of the same worth 1 point per power is fine.
If options differ in how "powerful" they are but are divided in categories and there's limited number of choices per category, 1 point per power is fine.
If options differ in how "powerful" they are and there's free choice in what to get, varied cost is necessary.

Seems rather simple and kinda most fair if I can say so myself. At least in my eyes that's pretty much a good approach toward any and every CYOA.

Also, a thing that limits builds with more companion is space and food. Having a description that the food/fund quantities are described as per one person and they will be doubled per each companion free of charge, as well as getting a blurb that per each companion there will be additional tiny room with a simple bed would help.

Fast and completely functional underwater but nothing special aside from that. Ion Cannon and Pile Bunker make for a good hit and run combo. Good EMP resistance, hacking resistance, lock-on countermeasures and stealth detection(hopefully). Pretty fucked when it's long range or flying. If shit gets bad, can just book it to the ocean for repairs.

>>54347249
Not that anon, but I doubt anyone knows for sure. Possibly there wasn't just a single CYOA, at least not with considerable gap of time. Either way, "stuck in a room/basement" and different survival-themed CYOA were the oldest kid, followed by "choose items/boons/powers you like" we semi-regularly see to this day. Then it branched out - got your starships, alternate dimensions, comfy CYOA, waifu (-centered rather than as a side option) CYOA, lewds and everything else, though at varied point of time - for example, waifus, be they slightly lewd or not at all are a pretty old thing in its own regard, but full 100% lewd CYOA are kinda a new, fresh take on the thing. Same with comfy CYOa which often are a spin on "you're stuck in a room" but much more new.

>>54347295
>there will never be a field of cyoaology

>>54347321
>there will never be a field of cyoaology
Pardon me for going slightly /pol/, but given retardation and idiotic degrees in some of the western universities, with proper spin on political correctedness and other such stuff, maybe you could get at the very least CYOA as part of study of some art courses. Wouldn't be probably worth it though, as soon it'd get infested and wasted by SJW and the like and most quality content banned as sexist, misogynistic, bigoted, capitalistic.

>>54347321
Pretty sure CYOA is something you would learn in a writing class of some sort.

>>54347321
There probably would if people cared enough about having one on here, Maybe a section on the discord for discussions on the field of Cyoaology?

>>54346181
>>54346194
I don't think that counts as OC anymore.

>>54347393
While I wrote >>54346734 in answer to the anon, I kinda get where he's coming from. I can imagine stuff myself pretty well, but there's absolutely no context in regards to the world and what possibilities a fallen paladin has. If I am one, am I bound by any forces to redeem myself or do something? Am I free to live my life however? Can I just retire? Am I hunted by others as an apostate no matter what I'll do?
Some blurbs regarding such things I wouldn't even consider hand-holding, but a few hints that may stir imagination and push one's thoughts in particular direction - which is the main goal of most CYOA.

>>54347441
Without archived dates of completion it would probably be impossible to actually track influences and developments in anything but the broadest sense.

>>54345260
Can we get the "researchers" changed to some "amoral entities researching you"? Most of my enjoyment of most of the options, most of the lewd stuff etc would be barred and likely I wouldn't be able to enjoy myself at all, falling onto forcing those researches to pull me out of the program ahead of time if I'll know they're human or humanlike eggheads willing to judge me all the time.

>>54347486
So simple yet so good.

>>54347486
>Druggy, insane, suicidal,
How are these even choices? The first is completely irritating, the second is going to suffer from mental deterioration and die, the third is going to suffer massive bran damage and be a vegetable or just straight up succeed.

>>54347486
Ovulating would be awesome if not the puppies requirement, followed by a Needy for more traditional waifu life if not the fact that there's no mention whether I can change her mind regarding my perceived incompetence or whether I'll have obvious, surefire chances of stopping and preventing her suicide attempts. It's a pretty dark twist, anon, if there's a given that at some point, ESPECIALLY when I'll be away she will try to kill herself - in which case her life and health (and indirectly, mine, because what's the point of going on after getting an Awoo and then losing her?) will depend merely on how succesful she is.

>>54347568
I understand your sadness but what I try to explain is that it may not even be so in this case. I'd gladly think of stories but for CYOA to serve as guide, the way you hope it will, it has to have solid scaffolding of lore and potential possibilities. This CYOA, while not bad concentrates on power fantasy etc without providing sufficient scaffolding to go on from there without making up whole lore on one's own - and while in theory one could do exactly that, what's the point of most of the powers and their value if through lore one can conceive whatever?

>>54347575
Likely unsuccessful, think slit wrists and pills, they're very ineffective methods and that type of suicide is only for people who are desperate or crying out for attention, not people who actually want to die. Still a very annoying negative trait.

>>54347597
Pills cause severe brain damage though.

>>54347295
The oldest kind were press buttons.

>>54347575
In regards to that, change Ovulating to "will love you either way but will also very much want puppies and if you won't be extra careful, she may try to coerce you into unprotected sex for the sake of making some" and that choice is set - balanced, but with risks.

Similarly, Needy having "will consider you largely incompetent if you won't prove her otherwise in any way" and having the last sentence changed to "If neglected and never appreciated at all despite her best effort - will attempt suicide".

>>54347637
Schizophrenia is ultimately fatal so that option isn't so hot either. Their mind degenerates over time, pills just slow it down, until they're nonfunctional.

>>54347486
Other than the ovulating one, can I fuck the other awoos?

>>54347601
>the option for fucking and nutting and getting her preggo
I see it as an option for lewds, with preggo being a (potentially, dependng on one's taste which already makes it better for some than anything else) downside the way other choices have one, for balance. And for balance, I think it should be manageable, the way other downsides can be.
Are you stupid?

>>54347597
Alright, would like that included if you think it'd be better than my suggestions in >>54347575

>>54347608
Depends what pills. Many a drama teenager in the past attempted suicide by just gulping down random medicine, like painkillers and stuff which, while potentially harmful and even with indeed slight chance of causing death, more often resulted in gastric issues requiring stomach pumping, but with no lasting damage.

>>54347680
Anon, do you know what ovulation is?

>>54347653
You're right. Maybe just changing it to "Severe paranoia" would make it more fair without changing imediate downsides of the choice?

>tfw you actually brainstorm collab on a tiny, easily cobbled together, nearly shitposting CYOA to achieve balance with assurance of chance for escapist, loving happiness.
The power of cute doggirls, gentlemen.

>>54347672
You can "cuddle" them. How severely you do your cuddling and what direction it can go to, I am pretty sure is up in the air and should be never spoken about loudly.

>>54347699
Just not calling it schizophrenia removes the degeneration issue, yes.

>>54347684
I do. And it doesn't mean it has to be brought to fruition.

Racoon girl and I'll build her confidence with giving her tasks she can accomplish and praising her and increasing the tasks until she has a trade she's proud of! (2400)

The cyclops girl to take her away from the bullies! and same as above, I'll help her learn how to stand up to bullies on her own! (2200)

The noblewoman so we can investigate the dastardly deeds that were done to her, and go on a quest to get her life back! (1700)

Both of the young girls. If their current owner is an ass then we gotta rescue them! (1200)

Stuff:
Spellbook so we can all read it and maybe learn something. (1100)

6 sets of leather armor for all of us (650)

6 sets of fine clothes for all of us when we're not murdohobo'ing (200)

Lifepath:
Adventurer. Our first adventure together can be investigating our noble friendo's background.

Jokes on them though, I'll secretly turn off all their collars so they're actually free to leave whenever they want, so if I piss them off and they run away they'll be fine. But hopefully I won't do that and we'll be friendos.

Sorry anon; next weeks will probably be sparse too if I make it at all.

After that I have a couple of weeks off work though, so I'll probably be getting some stuff done then.

>>54347986
Well are you normally a namefag or an anon?

The former is bad and the latter is good.

>>54348058
He's on hiatus currently, but likely due to burnout rather than the shitposting.

>>54346423
Yeah, I'm very aware of that. Just got a little problem of running out of space in the section already. I'll take a look on what I can do. Probably make some patterns common to a few of them.

>>54347097
I think I have enough space to make that change. And yes, I'll work on more stuff to be added soon.

>>54347193
Doubling the space/food is not intended for every row. While it does happen on some occasions like Tasteless Meal Bar, Veggies, Full Kitchen, Gourmet Food, due to they being sort of unlimited... The limitation for Prison Food and Monthly Groceries is intentional and justified by their cost.
Good catch on the additional tiny room with a bed for the companions tho... Will add that.

Hardly. Do you know what projecting is?
What I state is not on the basis of projecting, but the fact that first you went by a stretch of assuming things CYOA doesn't state (in regards to itnerests etc) and then you personally took it upon yourself to be an ass about it toward others. Since you seem to use "I'm not a normalfag!" as some elitist badge of merit straight from /r9k/, it's pretty sure you do suffer from some issues.

I'll set out deep into the forests and make my home out of seeds of trees, coaxed into growing and merging into a full sized mansion.

Little by little I'll add to my home, growing amenities as my power increases. Eventually I'll have a home that sports comforts rivalling and surpassing that of western civilized society. Sponges that pump water from the ground in an intricate system of heat and purification.

I'll grow vast orchards tree's bearing a multitude of fruits and nuts that I'll trade with select, trusted individuals for a pittance to help my surroundings as I practice and practice and practice, extending my healing and enchanting abilities.

When I'm ready, I'll slowly expand my home into a proper mansion and develop my own living infrastructure and bring a return of civilization, after a fashion.

With a little luck I'll be able to establish a stronghold to spread food and healing items to those in need, doing my part to ensure the safety and survival of the human race.

Secretly I'll construct deadly weapons and armour that I'll wear always, because I don't trust edgy slayer faggots not to strive to murderize me even if I'm objectively only using my powers for the good of others

Is this bad? I try to respond to people's builds when I'm in the thread because I see other authors do it (and I do kind of like it when other authors acknowledge or comment on my builds), but I feel like I rarely have anything interesting to say to them as I am a bland person.

Oh Holy Spirit. Sigh me up for the order of the Shield, and give me this spear and power armor. Holy tome will help too. My mentor, undoubtedly great, was impatient, too impatient for someone whose mission is to protect and preserve. He took on this dragon alone, thus dooming himself and the whole village. Now the foul wyvern will be after me, I'm sure of it, but I'll be ready. I remember the words of my master about the distant castle, a hope spot in the corrupted lands. If I'll be able to convince the friend of my mentor, the famous General, to cooperate with me, I will turn this castle into a shining beacon of faith, inviting yet impregnable. When the dragon will come, as moth comes to a light, I will imbue my spear with holy powers and leap from the castle walls, among thousands of arrows, to pierce his neck with my mighty lance. And then my master will be avenged.

>>54349582
I get the feeling that you did that weird color CYOA

>>54345260
The fuck is it with this type of cyoa always being a forced indenturement of some kind. And 5 mil for 10 years of solitary confinement is not worth it.

I'd probably just fall on a kitchen knife after the first three minutes of being interred just to get the assholes to bring me out of it, and if they put me back in I'd make it my life goal to horribly torture and murderfuck each and every single person involved in the creation of this thing after getting out, no matter how insignificant their contribution.

If it was voluntary I'd probably do it, but the moment it's being forced upon me is the moment I being plotting my terrible revenge.

Gimme a good reason for the experiment. What exactly are they researching, what do they hope to get out if it by dumping a random dude in a basement? Are they doing several simultaneous experiments to correlate their data? Is it just a game show dressed up as an experiment?

Also holy flying spelling errors Batman, check your English.

>>54349666
>Solitary confinement
>Anon can't read the companion section

>>54349666
what is it with the current trend of readers who want CYOAs to be rewritten to suit their desires?

>>54349683
Ten years with one person is almost the same. Robinson Crusoe wasn't exactly of sound mental health after hanging around one single native for the extent of his shipwrecking

>>54349692
I suspect this is bait and we have both bitten it

>>54349692
I'm asking an honest question even if I'm phrasing it in an aggressive manner. More often than not this type of cyoa is "hello you're being forced to..."

>>54349573
Kazuma begs to disagree.

>>54346022
You as well, mate.

>>54349702
Even then, you can pick more than one companion.

>>54349705
You're probably right

But if not
>>54349720

Asking for clarification on the scenario is fine, but so what if it IS "Hello you're being forced to do X thing"?

if it bothers you so much you don't have to play, or just reinterpret it a way you prefer.

I'm not trying to pick at you particularly here, its just an increasing trend here that is not for the better to expect authors to change their work for the tastes of anons

>>54345260
>10 years later
>US is no more, dollars are worthless

>>54349745
Unfortunately, authors have trained a specific segment of the thread that if they get angry enough they'll get exactly what they want. Why would the trend stop, given how successful it's been?

>>54349469
Not a reason to be shamed. Hell, at least some people had fun. There are those who live and die without achieving even that much (and often doing much to hurt others instead).

>>54349767
Sadly true. Its not helped by the fact that sometimes there IS legitimate criticism and changes that can be made for the better, so that has to be differentiated from "REEEE she smiled at another boy once", "CLONES CLONES CLONES" and "why can't I have maximum points for no drawbacks?"

>>54349744
Fair point, I retract that part of my angry retort.

>>54349745
It does bother me, and consequently I'm not playing. And maybe you're right, perhaps there has been an upswing in entitled anons recently, I admit I'm too much of an airhead to have noticed if that's the case. Again, I'm just pointing out a general trend in the "spend x amount of years in place y" subtype of CYOA's. I'm not fully expecting anything to change and why would I? I'm just one anon amongst many, but it costs me nothing but a miniscule amount if my mobile data to express my opinion so that's what I'm doing.

What I guess I really wonder is why. Why is it always "your agency is removed"? Are authors that make this type of CYOA just generally looking to be punished, and express that desire throught their works?

>>54349832
>Why is it always "your agency is removed"
There are comfy cyoas you know that let you keep it and get what you want.

>>54349832
>Why is it always "your agency is removed"?
I'd say those CYOAs are in the minority. Probably greatly so if we were to ever sit down and count them all.

Hell the "Spend X Years" CYOAs are mostly very old now, the one you're we're discussing here is specifically a throwback to that kind of thing.

For what its worth, I like both kinds; the ones were you're forced to do stuff and those with maximum freedom both have their perks, but just because I wouldn't always want them in real life doesn't mean I can't play them on our korean goatherding forum for fun.

>>54349745
>>54349832

I see what you guys mean. I'm the author of >>54345260.

I do apologize for the bad English, as it is not my main language. Simply saying there is errors is kind of hard to correct, but I can correct things if people point me to the specifics.

I got no problem adding more into the story and improving it. But I have been facing a lot of anons that bicker about a lot of silly things, as to change this cyoa to their taste, as you say... And it gets kind of old.

>>54349832
One thing I forgot to mention in >>54349884

>Are authors that make this type of CYOA just generally looking to be punished, and express that desire throught their works?

I doubt it, though its not impossible. I think its more just a situation where you're forced into it puts your choices and why you make them in a different light than ones where they're offered to you freely. Its a tone thing, similar to how some CYOAs have drawbacks as necessary and some as an extra.

>>54349832
You may dislike the idea of being placed in a room for x years, with all amenities and entertainment provided. Personally I like it, it's peaceful not having to worry about the outside world and just living in relative comfort. I think That's the appeal for most people rather than the long incarceration as a negative.

Will /pol/ be mad if I make a CYOA about Nazi occupation?

>>54349960
/pol/ would probably be ecstatic, /cyoag/ less so

>>54349960
No one will be mad, and as I played Wolfenstein recently I approve.

>>54349851
This is true and I appreciate those a great bit more, but that's an answer to a different question.

>>54349884
Maybe you're right. It just seems to me that the opposite is true.

I don't have any hard data to back it up with, it just feels like the CYOA's where you HAVE to outnumber the ones that give you the OPPORTUNITY to.

A big part of the enjoyment I derive from CYOA'S is the wish fulfillment aspect, putting myself into that position and seeing what I'd do when push comes to show. It's also largely what I enjoy about reading others anons builds too; the reasoning behind the choices is vastly more interesting than the choices themselves.

Which is why I generally dislike the ones which force you into a position through no desire or action of your own. I wouldn't want to be dragged away to some basement suddenly, but if soneone showed up at my doorstep and went "hey Anon, i have here the opportunity of a lifetime for you, may I come in?" I'd jump at the chance.

I mean the end result in both scenarios would be the same, but in one I resent it and in the other I love it.

In the end it's just my opinion , and I'm glad to hear that you can find enjoyment where I can't anon.

>>54350028
>CYOA's where you HAVE to outnumber the ones that give you the OPPORTUNITY to.
I think It's assumed that If you're playing the cyoa then that's your acceptance to the confinement.

That honestly sounds more appealing to me, and gives you more freedom to make changes. On the other hand the historical angle certainly gives it an interesting niche that isn't often done in CYOAs.

I don't know who you are anon, that are defending my work on >>54345260 but you do get it.

For I was just trying to bring back a little bit of the old cyoa. And it's like I said in >>54349909 people been trying to chance the intention of this for a while now, as to fit their need, when it's a simple question of deciding to play or not, to adapt into the cyoa or not... It's funny how I mostly see people actually complaining about something that is not their way, than to just playing the thing.

Anyways, thank anon.

I always felt that megacorps are just feudal settings with in a modern setting.
But everybody gets really riled up at the concept and can't accept it with a noblebright tone.

Cucks. The lot of them.

>>54350172
It feels to me like because there are soo few cyoas being made, people want desperately the new ones to be applicable to their desires and interests so it doesnt feel like a waste not playing it if they don't like the premise of the cyoa.

Really? Looking back I think we've had more OC in the last few months than we've had in a long time. Now the content might very, but quantity wise things have been pretty good.

>>54350129
>>54350141
...yeah, I'll go with fictional setting, I suppose. If you think about it, the collaborator in historical CYOA canonically loses, so it may be upsetting for some people. Also there are guys like this: >>54350172
>>54350151
Wolfenstein is the setting where the regime is already established, I think of a situation when the war is going on RIGHT NOW, it allows for more action. But Resistance CYOA may be an interesting thing also.

>>54350242
>Also there are guys like this: >>54350172
Like this: >>54350152

>>54349909
"You've been volunteered to" for starters. And I understand. There's only so much you can do to appeal to the faceless masses before you lose sight of your original idea. My comment wasn't an attack aimed at you specifically anon, please keep up the good work. All new OC is good new OC.

>>54349952
Oh I very much like the though of it, but like another anon said it's the tone of it. If I'm being forced to do something I'm inherently predisposed towards hating it, whereas if participation is a choice I'm predisposed towards liking it. I think it's very much basic human behaviour at play. Say the world is ending and the only way to save it is if I HAVE to go down in the basement. I'll probably begrudgingly go through with it, but I'll hate every second of it and I'll hate the people forcing me to make that sacrifice even more.

>>54350234
I suppose, maybe I'm just talking out my ass. I tend to skip alot of cyoas for one reason or another, it feels like there are few that could be called 'great' cyoas to me.

>>54350212
>It feels to me like because there are soo few cyoas being made
If this were true, the single worst thing anyone could do to fix it is create an environment hostile to new cyoa creation/release.

My math fetish says it wants the second one.

I'm trying to come up with a few "spiritual forms" for people's souls to take once they die for a cyoa. As in, what they look like on the inside.

So far I have stuff like crazy long glowing hair, or a person that's made of rainbows, or squid hair (if your soul is especially weird).

Having trouble thinking of more though, especially ones that'll fit men. Anyone willing to throw out ideas? Or a place you guys use to be inspired? This is my first rodeo.

>>54350826
Animal shapes? People made out of things (rivers? Clocks? Cutlery?) Old/young forms?

>>54347118
Many categories, and you choose one or two from each category

>>54350865
People made out of things fits very well actually, and it's versatile too. Don't know how I didn't think of. Probably won't use cutlery, but rivers and clocks are neat.

Nothing solid yet. Since I've been little though I've had this idea of a "perfect afterlife", what I would make if I were God. I won't go into full detail but it involves soulmates, reincarnation, and of course a form your true soul has, beyond your human vessel. These souls alternate between being in a celestial plane, and inhabiting new bodies on Earth (or other places in the universe) .I'm new to CYOA stuff and still gotta think over what exactly the "adventure" part will be, but it'll either be about the celestial plane, or adventure having in mortal realm, or both. Pretty disorganized now but I hope something comes of it.

You rise, you fall, then you rise again, retire, write an inspirational autobiography that goes on to inspire a self-help awareness support group for fallen paladins and conflicted blackguards.

You roam the land, your fate as much a curse as a blessing as your success story inspires a social media revolution in the medieval society you've fought for and against at different points in your life. Kings will gasp in envy at your highs, hardened criminals will shudder in horror at your lows and for better or worse, your name will become synonymous with unconquerable hubris throughout the land.

At some point, you'll realise how hollow and cyclical your struggles have been, quietly retire into obscurity and hang up your sword on a farm somewhere. There you will rediscover the simple joys of your boyhood, making an honest living off the sweat of your brow and spending it in a country inn where everybody knows your name.

And then one dark, stormy night. You find a nice girl to settle down with

Maybe irrelevant, but I read a book that had a really interesting 'afterlife' kind of thing in it Star Maker by Olaf Stapledon

A guy dies and becomes a disembodied cosmic spirit, Flies away from Earth and goes to alien worlds, he can inhabit sentient alien bodies and speak to them, experience their life etc. Once the alien lives it's life and dies, it accompanies him and forms a bond, together they visit many other aliens and build up a 'cloud' of alien souls to travel the cosmos together, and encounter other alien 'clouds'.

I'm rather bad at explaining stuff and I wouldn't want to spoil the book incase you feel like reading it, I highly recommend it though.

>>54351261
I think there's a place you can read it for free
google "star maker olaf stapledon"
7 links down.

>>54351261
Oops, read your spoiler. Is it well written besides just the plot? Seems very interesting. Probably would get stressful, that many people, unless it was a hivemind type situation. And I'm not dissing hiveminds, don't get me wrong.
>>54351355
Thanks.

>>54351421
From what I remember of Stapledon's other books, they're rather boring and droning on at the start, but once you get in to it It's more interesting/thought provoking than entertaining. It's been a while since I've read it so I've forgotten some of the intricacies of the book. I think it was kinda like a hive mind, but they were all separate entities with their own personalities I think. I'm gonna need to read it again actually haha.

>>54351261
I remember reading a very old sci-fi, something from 70s, 80s maybe with similar premise. Some human dude from undeveloped offshoot of humanity (almost no technology, tribal living etc) turns out to have ability to travel as soul through vast distances and possess bodies of different aliens on different worlds, also experience their culture etc. Highlights are such as him initiating an unintentional rape threesome when among a species with three genders where they procreate through melting together that can happen even on accident if all three are close enough and don't pay attention.

I don't mean to sound impertinent, but I wondered whether the author of the Hero of the Wastes CYOA was still at work on it. I very much liked the setting, and I found the writing rather funny; some of the sections seemed to imply there would be missions, but I can't for the life of me find them in the pastebin's assorted archives. Does anyone else happen to know that status of this particular CYOA? Or is it considered finished, and have I simply made a huge mistake?

>>54352647
Ha, an amusing take on the whole thing. Sadly, with whatever set you choose you also have to pick from a set of insecurities and automatically fail any quest requiring actual skill and sound mind. Plus, no companions or waifus allowed beside absolute scum and rare self-hating person.

Probably just enjoy tons of fiction, share what I have with those I think are interesting, bet on people and events I like, but never enough to lose everything, and most likely hop on over to whatever world someone else is creating that interests me once the game here is over.

How about we make a rebooted The Isles cyoa in the style of genie gallery? For example, you say that you're available to make a new expansion about one of the sections of the original Isles cyoa(strongholds, allies, nemesis, items, allies) and then the others post pics and he has to work with them.

The only thing needed is a template to work upon that is wide enough, like intro + 50 choices, ten per section/category of choices.
