Here's the fourth page. I had to drop the gnome because I could not think of a *single* thing that wasn't an undiluted gnome inventor trope. Creative bankrupty. He may come back if inspiration strikes.

Next step is proofreading and slighty revisions of the earlier ones (no significant personality changes except Lothienye), and then I'll post all four together.

Well, actually next step is doing a build for demonology, which looks rad. *Then* proofreading.

Feel free to let me know if any of these are shit in the meantime. Final release will be given in both png and pdf.

My first impression is that all the men are great husbandos except for Oraran because nothing that wears a big turban can be considered sexual.

My second impression is that in this page it really is noticeable how not all companions are suitable for all roles. Luga would be a terrible mentor for example since he can basically teach you nothing. Same for Ellyn, unless farsight can be taught but even then she is - quite amusingly - to Karesu as a seafaring warrior when it comes to being a mentor at least.

>>54484365
So, what stops Celestial from being an "I win" button? You can pretty much eradicate every non essential aspect of the setting there.

Oh, ok. Well, if there is at least one anon (you) who is fine with a unoriginal gnome inventor trope, I'll add him in for the final version. I'll still try to think of *something* to make him stand out.

>>54484917
Technically, Ninla can have the biggest tits. Just a note.

>>54484946
Well, as discussed on a previous page, and easily missed, there is going to be a fourth slot of "rival" added. So, Mentor, Lover, Rival, Friend. It's not realistic to try to make this many characters who can fit into all of the roles. I am happy if every one of them is a contender for at least two of those four roles.

>>54484981
Ellyn is *much* less inconvenient diplomatically than Karesu is, and arguably much more useful away from the water, since her divination thing works everywhere. Not everyone wants a reputation as a pirate.

>>54485036
Well, I needed at least one autistic character, right? And is Ninla is your lover, she may "need no man", but she does need you. Some anons are into that.

No it means you have to make Jars to siphon mana for bigger rituals.

>>54485725
It's clearly an introductory biology text. Maybe Purves et al.? It's been a long, long time since I consulted one, but for a number of reasons it'd be good to have one in ebook format. Especially if it didn't cost much.

Philosophy is fun. I don't really care whether it's useful or not.

Didn't see the post for a while but still responding anyway. It would not intrinsically destroy you if you didn't blow up the beings responsible for emotions and intellect and whatnot. Outside of actually hitting yourself or putting yourself in a situation where you die/are sealed without end, it doesn't seem like anything could stop you if you plan correctly and you have plenty of resources to do so.

So I can't Halo Ouranos anymore, but I can summon him as a dragon.

Method: Bloodline
+80 Ritual Points
+5 Intrinsic Power
+2 Knowledge

Family: Celestials

Demon #1: The Space Hulk as a Familiar (-12)
Swap to 8 Knowledge

68 Ritual Points
5 Power
8 Knowledge

Demon #2-3: Chariot in a Jar x2 (-18)
+8 Power

50 Ritual Points
13 Power
8 Knowledge

Demon #4: Ouranos as a Dragon (-50)

0 Ritual Points

So I took the entire universe and stuffed it into the body of a bigass dragon.

Was this a good idea? No.
IT WAS THE BEST IDEA.

Does Contract still require a vessel for the demon or do you just get it's stats without the ritual?

Hey Bossman, you didn't update the descriptive text on each of the specializations.

Also, I apparently don't understand how to get the higher dudes. Here I was, kicking back and sweating bullets for daring to put a Simurgh in a sprite to teach me to make humanoid monster bodies for Hubal and Rwan, and right over there is some necromancer bastard shoving the soul of an elder evil into a pigeon to access forbidden knowledge while his house melts around him.

I honestly thought the more powerful guys were some sort of statement about unattainable power, but it turns out there's no risk a Wizard with no sense of right or wrong will take.

Either way, wonder CYOA. Thanks boss.

Yo, I'm going to be attempting to make my first CYOA, and it'll be a Witcher one at that.
I'm surprised it hasn't already been done, and if it has nobody likes it enough to post it, so I'm going to see if I can't fill that void.


What would think would be necessary in a Witcher CYOA? Obviously the schools, the factions, companions.

How would you like it done?

>>54486441
Yeah, I would totally pick Mithrodae if my goal had been to get a stable and romantic relationship where we both help each other become better, happier individuals.

I went with Evet with the goal of a rival that I could I could push myself against, but not outright hate, and still have fun occasionally blowing off steam with. Drugs and sleeping with women totally counts as forbidden arts that a lady shouldn't be learning, right?

>>54486607

The Witcher is retarded. Don't do it.

>>54486607
>How would you like it done?
To not require me to know what Witcher is.

>>54486607
With complexity and depth. Or be a glorified waifu picker.

>>54486607
How would you like it done?
Clearly, it should be a build your monster hunter type of thing, maybe give specialties or preferred prey?

>>54484783
I think they work decently as mentors, but for the other parts some lack in appeal. What does the mermaid really have going for her beyond her shapeshifting? I mean, being independent isn't bad at all, but it's not something that makes go 'oh, I want to spend time with that person'.
This also applies to the previous pages, but I feel here it is more obvious because their descriptions are longer. Most of them just feel like companions you would take on an adventure, rather than people that I would hang out with out of my own volition.

Everything is gonna be okay anon.
Think about it. The world has been turning for as long as it has. Never stopped once. Now here we are, and the world still turns. My money says it'll keep turning after we're gone.
But is that a bad thing? No, of course not. It's something freeing. Learn that second language, do the things you love, meet the people you can, and live a life you can smile about. The sun keeps coming up in the morning, and we've lived through every bad day we've ever had. So in the end, what's the worst thing that could happen? Failure? Pfft. All that is, is a sign that you're on the right track and need to try a new angel.

I love you man, because you're you. And we're all gonna make it.

Hi Everyone, been a while since I last posted. Here's a project I started ages ago, but didn't want to put the work in to finish. Now it's done. Constructive feedback very much appreciated. I've tried to focus more on worldbuilding than balance, but any pointers are well received.

Part 2

>>54487145
Not the guy who you were addressing, but the adjustments seem really good. They feel less like RPG NPCs and more like people.

>>54487168
>>54487193
No waifus, no build. Sorry.

>>54487168
Contract with the Dark One has the same text as Paragon.

>>54487168
>>54487193
Formatting wise, I hate the centered text. Small thing.

Build wise, it seems... really unappealing to want to enter this conflict at all. I'm not seeing the motivation. The system itself is fine, it just doesn't seem like the kind of thing you'd *want* to do. Rewards don't match the risks.

>>54487208
Cool, thanks.

>>54487253
For Sir Tane Regrove, you just have "His best trait...".

>>54487253
>I'm not seeing the motivation.
Add waifus. Let you rescue princesses or something. A Vignette or two'll get the fa/tg/uys rushing to save the galaxy.

>>54486088
Yo this style reminds me of Transistor

>>54487272
Yup; when going back through I realized I'd never given him a best/worst line. That pdf is still WIP; I am proofreading/adding a bit to each.

>>54487228
Oops.

>>54487321
I figured, just giving feedback as I read through it.

>>54487193
The text for Djinn's Disruptive Aura is black instead of white for some reason, making it damn near completely unreadable.

>>54487287
>>54487253
I thought drasticly extended lifespan and sweet magical powers were a sufficient motivation. I don't really do waifus, any other ways I could sweeten the deal?

>>54487321
Overall, I enjoy them all significantly. I'm probably going to do several builds with different themes eventually. There's some nice potential synergies and interactions, especially with the expansion to four people.

>>54487145
Looks good.

>>54487430
>I don't really do waifus, any other ways I could sweeten the deal?
For me, personally, it's not an issue of waifus, it's an issue that it *sounds* like I'm probably going to die. That means extended lifespan, eh, not that great. And the "sweet magical powers" seem to be about battle, whereas I'm more concerned with my post-battle reward. Others may feel differently, of course.
>>54487438
Cool, thanks.
>>54487342
Gotcha; appreciated.

>>54487145
I definitely think it's an improvement. Second to fourth character are choices that I could actually see myself picking. First dude seems kind of single minded now though, was that the intention?

>>54487597
>First dude seems kind of single minded now though, was that the intention?
Lenth is a nerd. So, yes?

>>54487430
For me, I have a rock-solid confidence in my ability to go full Protagonist and win the day through sheer force of will/retardation.

Waifus, though...now *there's* a goal and a half. It's no accident the Arthurian and Trojan cycles are all about waifus.

>>54487168
>>54487193
You need some general perks and flaws in addition to the shrine ones, picking two options from six is boring

>>54484302
That demon guy sounds like a total bro

>>54487673
In that case I might start working on an expansion. Anything else I could add to improve the experience?

>>54487837
Rivalry with other shrines, legendary arms and armors, waifus, followers and so on. Maybe a thing about the worshipers and prophets at your shrine.

>>54487886
Thank you. I'll take those ideas on board.

>>54486510
Wouldn't stuffing the Space Hulk into the body of a pigeon result in "devastating effects"?

>>54487145
About Oraran: in his bio it says he is a sexist for thinking woman are less capable then men in most areas. My question is are woman in the fantasy world the MC has been transported to different to our world? Like are they about as strong or as fast without having the same muscle mass, and is their intelligence further spread across the spectrum?
If they are different, is this due to different breeding preferences and evolution or is there magical or divine intervention?

>>54486582
Heh, I intend on putting Mastema in a Sprite. Yes I know I'm binding a trickster god into a little wing humanoid form for the purposes of teaching me how to do better magic, what's your point?

>>54486899
Leo. I liked that kid so much and then he died. Oh shit, I still can't handle this.

>>54487964
The space hulk only has 3 dots of power to start with and doesn't govern any fundamental force of the universe like a lot of the tier 8 demons.

>>54487983
Physically, the combat difference between men and women in this world is smaller, or at least somewhat less relevant, due to the dominance of special techniques/abilities. Magically, men and women are equally capable. Oraran believes that men are superior to women both physically and magically. So he is, at least, objectively wrong when it comes to magic, even if there is a debate to be had on physical capability.

Some replies to people in the last thread:

>>54482564
Actually, now that I remember, you already have a cameo as the leader of a fujoshi witch coven in one of the drawback scenarios in which you go about attempting to transform people into handsome gay males, prompting the player to oppose you, so I hope that would please you to know.
>>54482971
There is no set time, really, but I'd like to end this process sooner rather than later.

I think lesbian preggo is pretty pure if it involves magic, though that's not particularly a fetish of mine.

Putting together a holy party, because Jesus is my wingman. Will enjoy spending time roaming the countryside spreading the good word, helping the downtrodden, and reaching spiritual enlightenment until I get powerful enough to settle down with a cathedral or monastery of my own to run.

Mentor: Sir Calladan
A stern yet kind aging paladin? Sign me the fuck up. Will provide aged wisdom about the world and lessons on holy magics, as well as how to protect yourself so you don't get killed. Will also serve as a moral center for the group considering the faults of my other companions.

Lover: Suse Laham
Honestly this choice was mostly based on my decision to make a party of clerics and paladins and the artwork. She seems sweet and caring, and most of the arrogance she will grow out of after we spend some time adventuring around. Odds are she'll end up a more powerful priest than me, but I think I'll be able to learn a lot from her, both magically and personally, and that we'd get along well on a personal level.

Friend: Dukon the Pure
He seems to have the same problem as Suse and I think it will be mediated in the same form, that being experience and travel. He's also devoted and we will bond over our missions and hopefully learn to respect some of our differences. He'd also help with marshal training, as I intends to not be useless in a fight.

Thanks. It was originally just pick a guardian to sign up with drom the 10 with more basic descriptions. I'm quite keen on the simpler CYOA's myself, but I came up with some ideas for perks and put them in with the rewrite. I think another layer ot two added as DLC could broaden the appeal. I'm also working on a sequel where you sign up for the other side.

>>54488128
OK, cool. Thank you for the explanation.

>>54487193

The Shrine of the Silent phinx is the shrine of the weakest guardians? Nobody will want to pick that, don't disincentivise a choice.

>>54487430
War is hell dude, and here you're practically fighting against the forces of hell. Your CYOA basically has the same tone of military recruitment posters. "Uncle Sam needs YOU! Join today and get that sweet GI Bill, and maybe even retire early!... butmaybediesuperhorrifically" I mean, I fell for those too. So I actually kind of like your CYOA, but as a weird civil service kind of drive.

>>54489054
>thrown out of /cyoag/

>>54489054
I suppose that depends on if they are attracted to men or women.

>>54489054
Are you asking if the traps themselves are gay or if liking them is gay. If the former it depends on the trap. If the latter that is an interesting question because on one hand people who like traps are explicitly attracted to males but in the case of traps only because of their strong feminine qualities, and to further complicate it are you asking if liking traps is gay for men, women or both? The only answer I can give you that I know is right is that this will start an internet fight.

>>54488874
Thanks for playing. I'll freely admit that my CYOA's tend towards the bleak side, that's just what I'm in to.

>>54487662
>The Trojan War was literally fought over used goods

Ancient society had no taste.

>>54489378
Well...it was really fought because Menelaos was a huge cuck.

Reminder that Troy did literally nothing wrong btw

>>54489120
Thanks anon. Here's to being a fi/tg/uy.... Yup, that sounded about as gay as I thought it would. Love these traps though.

>>54489378
>>54489406
The ancients, in their infinite wisdom, had a solution ready to go in case of shitposting. See, Helen never really went with Paris, no, she was always ever-faithful to Menelaus. The Egyptian gods created an illusionary Helen to go with Paris while the real Helen stated safe within an Egyptian temple. The entire war was fought over a fake illusion thus invalidating the entire story, but that's okay as long as all potential waifus are pure.

>>54489495

>>54490052
Tok'haar Gol.

>>54490057
Old version is fine, new version doesn't give you enough points to really have any freedom.

>>54484365
So Bound to Body says it gives the host a single power. Does this refer to the abilities the bound demon has or a dot of the power stat?

>>54484365
So was the limitation on the power of the demon you can use in Third Eye removed? Or is Halo the only vessel that lets you use their abilities? What does it even mean for it to be more fragile?

>>54487168
>>54487193

Interesting. I like how varied the factions are. I think I'd probably go full on guardian hero and roll
>Shrine of the Fallen Titan
>Learn from the Past
>Paragon

or go
>Nameless Hero
>Wrath of God
>Standard Issue
because I like the idea of the valiant underdog that occasionally wrecks face unexpectedly.

Some of the perks and flaws seem a bit restrictive though. Crumbling Colossus seemed cool, but there's only really three choices here, and only one that doesn't have intrinsically negative consequences. I was drawn to Laughing Djinn initially, because being a snarky, tricky speedster sounds awesome, but all the flaws turn you into a hindrance to your allies.

Also, followers of the Sphinx would be the second weakest, wouldn't they? Nameless Heroes seem to be peak but otherwise base humans getting by on guts and determination, so I'd expect them to actually be weakest in physical stats since Sphinx followers are explicitly magic. Also, just from a design standpoint, I'd put the Nameless last in the list. As the only group without an actual Guardian patron, they stand out as something different, and it seems weird to break the pattern with them and then go back to a more standard group with the Sphinx.

>>54487430
You could emphasize that the army of darkness is definitely going to destroy the world if it's not stopped. It's mentioned in the intro, but the recruiter seems kind of bland about it so people might miss the implied threat of annihilation.

Also, don't worry about the waifu thing. This obviously isn't that kind of cyoa, it would be out of place.

>>54487228
>>54487399
These two are the only real formatting errors I see. If nothing else, fix those and you're good. It's a solid cyoa, well done.

>>54490057
With the new version you have to minmax for higher tier stuff until he adds in his drawback system which would make the higher stuff obtainable for a price which is more appropriate really for demon summoning. If you just want to chill and relax with your summon it shouldn't be too hard. The whole power scale just makes it seem like a waste since it goes from summoning embers and basic creatures to summoning manifestations of concepts and reality warpers.

Is there a PDF version of the Lacus Mundi CYOA ?

In my defense, he has the advantage of knowing how to actually use photoshop.
Paint.net's text editing capabilities are so barebones that my choices were to either have the text unaligned with the page or have every letter look like it was written through a drunk-typewriter.
It was my first CYOA, it could have looked a lot worse.
Guardian Spirit is probably also the last CYOA I'll make with Paint.net.
If I'm gonna keep this up, I might as way buckle down and "acquire" Photoshop and learn to use it eventually.

Key to giving these characters life is giving them motivation and/or a past.

Gnomey McGnomeface:

Possible backgrounds:

Gnomey (better known as Professor McGnomeface) made several strides into the science of automated servos. Something-something a student sold his latest model to the black market for use in assassinations. Humilated, he seeks revenge/redemption/a drink.

Retired general in the clockwork army, he wants one last glorious adventure before retirement.

Grandpa Gnomeface as he's known in town is fed up with kids playing on his *goddamn lawn*.

Etc.

Three times, I defy you!

Attached is the pdf; I went deeper into review than I thought. Every character has at least another line or two (except the lizard, I think), with the general hope of humanizing them a bit more. Lothienye was made significantly mellower; I don't think anyone else had major personality changes.

Doing the pngs is a huge pain, so I'll leave this overnight, see if there are any comments worth incorporating, and then do those tomorrow.

Oh, the Gnome is there now. Hopefully he's a bit more than *just* a cliche.

Starting at [116]

Zeus [107]
Swarm [100]
Ouroboros [92]
Clockwork x2 (Heart and liver maybe?) [87]

Rolling for immortality gives 30. Perfectly fine with room to spare.

Clearly, rescuing Sophie is the correct choice. (Or maybe risking it and dragging someone else out of there as well even if it takes a little more time?)

I think more than four characters gets crowded and makes the builds less special. That being said, I'm not opposed to adding a Guardian/Protector *role*, that you could assign to one of the four in place of one of the current four roles. Like, five roles, but pick four of them, kind of deal. Would that at least partly satisfy?

CYOAs are a symptom of desire for a better world. To the point where we give it form in the form of fantastic adventure makers. Motivational speeches for the forlorn are another symptom of the same cause.

Acheld, you've outdone yourself. You took the options I presented and made them perfect. I aint even mad about no half giantess now.

>Mentor
"Lumbering" Luga
>Friend
Kuuzzi of the Blue
>Lover
Ninla Thriceborn

I've got a really good team comp, with the tank, healer, and shapeshifter. I can probably be an offensive guy with swords and archery.
Luga and Kuuzzi are probably gonna get along great after bonding over poetry. And I like having a quirky wizard friend with a protective half giant.
Going with Ninla because not only is she hot, but I'm glad to treat her as an actual person, and also I love shapeshifting as a power for one of my teammates to have. She can probably use it to make her boobs bigger too

Seriously I love the exotic party I can make. Great page addition.

I know very little about Warhammer, but let's rock. Those of you better versed in the lore, let me know how my choices hold up.

>Tactical Marine
I do like having options. Being a jack-of-all-trades sounds good when I don't totally know what I'm getting into.
>Salamanders
Cool tech, and they seem like the nice guys of the group. I like that the chapter predisposed to flamethrowers are apparently the friendly ones.
>WAAAAGH Dreksmash
>Viola Sept Expansion
>Kabal of the Black Adder
These all seem like fairly straightforward missions to protect people, and I'm all for that. Good guy space marines are go.
I'm not sure if I'm really adhering to the spirit of 40k like this, but I'll run with it as long as the choices let me.
>Overlord Rakyntr
Yeah, I'll fight Skeletor. He seems particularly omnicidal.
>Open the Box
This is obviously a trap. But let's see what happens.

>>54493408
>>54492384
...Oooh. Better than I expected.
I like the Ork's style, but I don't think I can trust him not to freak out on me out of sheer lust for battle. He stays in the pod. The Wych looks very Chaos-y, and I'm pretty sure they sacrifice people and maybe eat them? Sorry, you stay too.
Toven appears to be a robot, and that's just awesome, so he's coming with me. The preaching's annoying, but not a big deal if he's otherwise friendly. Lyseria is... whatever the elf race is called, I remember them being not really friendly with humans, but not necessarily total enemies? We get along okay sometimes, don't we? She's probably fine to bring with us. Yeah, the robot and the elf girl I let loose.

>Part in Peace
Well of course I'm not going to start a fight. We fought our way free, we're totally buddies now.
>Krumpkek
Jeez, I made the right choice here. I don't need crazy ork mobs chasing me looking for a fight. Glad I didn't let him out.
>Toven
No real negative consequences, and I'm apparently invited to hang out on a beach planet. Robots are awesome, I told you so.
>Lyseria
Oh, neat, I got a space elf girlfriend out of the deal. She can come with me to the beach planet!
>Katrass
Uh. I mean.
...Well, I don't think I'd have taken her up on the offer for sex anyway. Who knows what she's been up to. Plus, Lyseria. Maybe kind of regret not letting her out though? She apparently wasn't going to betray us at all, despite being kind of nuts. Maybe I could have talked her out of the blood and sacrifice thing?
...Probably not, huh? Oh well.

Good choices for somebody not into warhammer. Some clarifications

The tau aren't robots Their soldiers wear advanced battlesuits because their technology is on the up-and-up, while the imperium is in the grip of a long period of technological decay. Humanity got too ambitious with tech, once upon a time, and is wary of repeating the same mistakes.

The Necrons aren't necessarily evil since the retcon, but they are crazy. Millions of years of sleep after turning yourselves into robots to escape the empire-ruining consenquences of the mistakes your civilization made will do that.

The 'witch' isn't a magical witch, but a masterful martial artist known amongst the dark eldar as a wytch. Dark Eldar aren't necessarily aligned with Chaos, the relationship is complicated, but they do tend toward evil as they need to torture captives to keep chaos from gnawing away their souls.

>let me know how my choices hold up

Salamanders are definitely the choice for being a good guy, their lack of dickishness is an explicit and almost unusual trait of theirs. They also get to actually keep in touch with their families and even reside with them at times.

>>54493417
The mystery box is designed to be silly, so don't worry too much about that; you did good.

The Tau are actually dudes like this in battlesuits and also pretty much space communists controlled by a caste with low key mind control powers, who sometimes do stuff like sterilise client races; they're still one of the nicer factions all in all.

While Craftworld Eldar and Marines have worked together in the past, actually hooking up with one is fan fiction tier stuff in this setting, but it made me laugh so I put it in.

Then you can just ignore the points and take what you want anyway.

>>54493557
I'm not too familiar with the newcrons, but here goes:

Everything seen up to the update, the homogenous forces of unfeeling soulless machines driven by a contempt for the living and a desire to reestablish dominion over the galaxy, has been overlords who have gradually lost their personalities over the years.

The soldiery are still little better than automatons as they're cheaper models of necron robots, but the nobility retain their personalities if they don't get eroded by time.

The royal courts tend toward eccentricism of varying kinds. Trayzn wants to collect interesting baubles and specimins, while others simply want to get back to 'living'. Some do in fact want to conquer the galaxy and purge the living.

There's also something about the high king of the necrons lurking in the shadows wondering what the best course of action for his people should be. Take the galaxy? Go back to sleep? Join the forces of Order against Chaos?

All in all, I like the change. We already had an implacable omnicidial foe in the form of the Tyranids, and the Newcrons open up interesting narrative arcs involving the necrons besides "Try not to die" which was really all they offered gaming groups before.

Before the thread ends, post a cool option without a CYOA:

You can read spider webs. Most of them are just advertisements, but they're advertisements aimed at the sort of people who can read spider webs.

I can't place this because my CYOAs are usually too high power.

>It takes me longer to find art than it does to write or even format my CYOA

>>54493828
It looks like you're basing the character mechanics off of D&D's paradigm. Unless you have very good reason to keep your system this way, I would simplify. CYOAs are ultralight RPGs at best. A few popular CYOAs have heavy mechanics, but they absolutely need evry stat they ask to player to track, and even then they're pretty light compared to more simulationist game fare.

CYOAs are usually better served by focusing on the narrative aspects of the setting, because all stats wind up being are dick-measuring rulers anyway.

For example, instead of Skill(swordplay), you could simply say the player gains training in the art of swordplay. Or you could keep the wording the same, but clarify elsewhere that it simply represents such training.

Attribute stats like agility and charisma are usually best avoided, in my opinion. They're ill-defined even in heavier rpgs, and for CYOAs all they add is confusion and an excuse to argue.

Just a little advice from what I've seen and made myself.

So instead of status, maybe a general summary of the race in regards to the world would be better? Like I could imply that Orcs are known to live near the sea and their exceptional strength? I will try to get rid of the status increase and just write implications. I think I will keep items the same cause I am planning on adding another section for items, blessings, and misc.

OP in the sense that because too much is available, the fun is somewhat curtailed.

>Why play a CYOA at all?
There's no big compelling reason, yet these threads persist. Perhaps "for fun" is reason enough.

>>54493932
This is normal.

>>54493962
That's a lame excuse. The design doesn't have to be fancy, it's just tryhards like SDA and (originally) the Scientist who push that envelope, but just because they do doesn't mean you have to.
