Various worlds and multiverses have become connected together via the mysterious Overcity, a sprawling landscape inhabited by monsters and magical beings. Girls and boys endowed with their new supernatural powers can work together solving conflicts that arise!
>This is NOT a greentext adventure style CYOA with one GM and thread posting to dictate the adventure, but rather a hub thread for multiple storycrafters to use. A majority of activity (including campaigns) instead happens in the IRC, which is open for newbies to join. Some players have split off and created a Discord server which can be used for the same purpose.
The OP image is a writing prompt/adventure seed/thought exercise like most CYOA's.
SCS is a bolt on to the CYOA that provides a rule framework for combat using just the options provided by the CYOA. It provides 1-to-1 matching of options to rules so your build will transfer over seamlessly.
AMGC (the blue pdfs) is a self contained rule system that emulates, but does not mirror the base CYOA. It has additional powers and perks that the pink documents don't have, and does not have an equivalent for origins and patrons.
MGX is a third rule system in development that isn't done yet.
If you're trying to mirror the build you get in the CYOA, SCS is currently the way to go.
In general, AMGC use is more prevalent in the IRC channel and SCS in the Discord.
The CYOA's Patron Module, which determines just who bestows your character's magical abilities. But be wary, for not all of these patrons are after your best interests...

Introducing the MGCYOA Supplementary Combat System!
The SCS was made as an add-on to the CYOA to cover the combat side of roleplaying. It allows players to easily take characters made in the CYOA v1.5 and use them in Quests and long-running campaigns alike.
This PDF covers the basics of magical girls and sets the groundwork for future updates (which will include Patrons, DMGs, and Monster Girls).
>Addons to the SCS, currently only the Order & Chaos / Friend & Foe expansion: pastebin.com/X0Ngy7zY
The SCS Order & Chaos, Friend & Foe expansion, for adapting patrons to SCS play, a basic bestiary, and creating dark magical or monster girl characters.

his PDF is for AMGC 1.13, used for PnP in the IRC. It features 10 additional powers and 20 extra perks, as well as combat actions, point buy, and more.
Draconic monstergirl with metal control, massive strength and toughness, favored by Hephaestus. No ranged attacks, but devastating claws Scales made of metal, transformed uniform is Hoplite armor. Strong enough to throw a car with ease, tough enough to shrug off high caliber fire Slightly better than normal Agility, normal luck, almost no metaphysical magical power so almost all physical fighting stlye Draconic form has dragon wings, dragon horns, tail and velociraptor like legs, all covered in metal scales When disguised, is a normal girl that looks 19ish. Tomboy mechanic, with supernatural strength and toughness used in mechanic job Hephaestus favour and metal specialization give great skill in working with metal objects, from smithing to car maintenance Compulsively hoards gold and jewelry, though never wears it. Disguised form wears male clothes, especially work gear during mechanic job Think Tomo from Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko when visualizing disguised form

I am vaguely amazed that this continues to exist and grow. Mainly because it's been around for a while now and I've come to expect all sorts of sperging from Veeky Forums about the kinds of things I really enjoy.
Kudos.
Charles Nguyen
Do join if you're interested. It's hard to explain what the roleplay is like, but there's something for everybody.
Because someone decided to leave these out, even though there has been no actual ruling on removing them.

Lucas Martin
They're in the pastebin link. The thread needs to be trimmed in how many posts it starts with desu senpai
William Gomez
That's true, but the SCS PDFs are also out and about even though they've had a MEGA for over 6 months.
So the argument's a tad flawed.
David Garcia
SCS is regularly getting updated and has systematically been prevented from getting the face time it deserves. The other 2 amgc supplements have never been updated and are almost never used. I don't see the problem in letting another system shine!~
Sebastian Morris
There's no point in showing one system in favor over another. I mean, really, how is the SCS supposed to beat AMGC in a fair fight if somebody keeps rigging things in one direction or another? This is no different than what you claim happened to the SCS.
Elijah Smith
Alright, then, after some careful evaluation, lots of reading material, and ten thousand pounds of yogurt, I feel I have come up with a few solutions for AMGC's balance issues.
The SCS wins on its on merits. I disagree with the idea that supplements that have remained essentially untouched, and are readily accessible, will be the deciding factors in a comparison of the two systems. If you're complaining about SCS being posted first... that's extremely petty and insignificant. It says nothing on the merit of either system. Whoever makes the threads /could/ waste their time making sure AMGC stays in the spotlight, but I'm not shedding any tears over the FACT that SCS is starting to be less neglected.
Colton Morgan
>If you're complaining about SCS being posted first... Actually, you're the one that brought that up. Order doesn't matter compared to rate of exposure. If there are 3 posts showcasing SCS PDFs and 1 post showcasing AMGC PDFs then there is a disparity in exposure.
Both have pastebins and MEGAs archiving their expansions and side materials. Both should get equal exposure. I propose a single post for each system with the links left alone. The only system that should be getting multiple posts to itself is the CYOA.
Camden Hughes
Do your characters take advantage of their powers for petty uses? How so?
Daniel Reyes
Hammerspacing ALL THE THINGS!
Luis Cooper
Wait, there are people that DON'T hammerspace every odd and end they come across? I thought Hammerspace-users were kleptos by their very nature.
Dominic Gray
There's not a lot of chances to have petty anything.
Levi Young
How so?
Kayden Brooks
Everyone I see with it goes full /k/ommando. Guns only final destination!
Levi Johnson
Plenty of people also go BONE OF MY SWORD. Some people just use it to wombo combo.
Presenting the v1.6 patch for the SCS! This is primarily a balance patch, but a couple of bits of new content were added.
Here's the major stuff in the patch. You can find more details in the specific errata pages. >Relics recover charges even if not equipped. >Twinned Soul action economy updated. >Fluff descriptions added to most Relics. >Regeneration buffs. >Duplicates rework. >Buffs to Soul Jar and A Way Out. >You can now only use one reactive in response to a single thing. >Notes on Civilian Form and how it works. >MAJOR Empath buffs. If you're an Empath girl it is a must-read. >New Generic Spells.
Other two expansions coming shortly.
Adrian Morris
Here's the OC&FF for v1.6!
Major changes here: >Horror Buffs >Lesser Force nerf >Beacon Buff >Elaboration on how Seal/Unseal works >Soul of Chaos bugfix to prevent people from going Double Twinned Soul or Double Regeneration.
Mason Robinson

Incredible work as usual Maid!
Brayden Kelly
SCS pastebins updated. Maybe now someone will remove the "currently only the Order & Chaos / Friend & Foe expansion" in the OP.
Accidentally run someone down and get magical powers? Let's see what fate gas in store.
In no way does the previous sentiment display a tendency to be corrupted by power...
Ethan Kelly
how the FUCK is amgcore still used You guys are seeing what I'm seeing right? are so fucking good. professional work desu. Were lucky to have this kind of a game master and designer.
Austin Jones
rolled a bit too many dice there friend. use 11, or 12 if you want your patron to be left to chance
Jeremiah Reed
Rolled extra in case allies or big friend showed up.
The contact for power was not unfavorable to Alexandra. Not beyond the initial changes anyway. Granting both psychic power and supernatural luck, Alexandra adopted the name Toeval, being Dutch for 'chance'.
Her weapon is a set of stone dice which orbit her head. Her outfit, what it is, looks like that of a barely-modest casino dealer. She fights primarily by getting inside of an opponent's head, and if that alone is not enough, she barrages them with magic.
Toeval is also quite keen on games of chance, given her distinct, unfair advantage against most. Outside of literal games of chance and mind, she regularly throws herself into situations which by all means should be beyond her, yet her lust for power, mind reading, and unnatural luck repeatedly see her come out on top.
Also, what black coin?! There never was one; surely you imagined it. Aren't I right?
Brody Collins
Nice! Plan to write a story for her? Or go ahead and slap her into discord and rp!
Grayson Murphy
Little of column A, little of column B. We'll see where my free time takes me
Angel Walker
That would require people to actually RP there.
Cameron Carter

You can try the discord, but the IRC is generally more active.
Oliver Butler
Alright. I made a thing. My first bit of write-faggotry, so critique certainly welcome.
It's nothing big, mostly just an introduction and writing sample.
Don't think I haven't noticed you copying my latest typing quirk.
Austin Cox
Not bad. Definitely interested in seeing how this character pans out.
Matthew Reed
Couple of hotfixes for stuff I forgot!
Spell Rating is calculated by adding your MAG and your highest stat together (use your MAG twice if it's your highest stat).
Additionally, the following Outfit Enhancement is also available: >Spellweaver - Increase your Spell Rating by 5 while equipped.
The Spawn summoned via "Minions" should be immune to Fear from their summoner.
...except that I've done work with AMGC, as well? In fact, I started work on a rules change for AMGC partly to prove that there's no real animosity between myself and the AMGC-users within the community. Well, that, and I genuinely thought that it could improve the quality of the game. Nobody's really said much one way or another so I haven't been able to tell how successful that has been in either department.
At any rate, saying "how the FUCK is amgcore still used" is a dumb question because it's an entirely different game from the SCS, and people are gonna like what they're gonna like.
Eli Cruz
Fire pdf finally done! Since Drak's stuff isn't finished yet, I thought I might as well post this, so we have something 'official' to use until then.
>In fact, I started work on a rules change for AMGC partly to prove that there's no real animosity between myself and the AMGC-users within the community. Neat. Link?
Luis Watson
Okay, fixed a few minor issues with the help of Trimangle and Gaial. Here's 1.01
