...

can someone explain this yellow mask nonsense to me? I've seen it in a bunch of cyoas it is a reference to something or what

Should I make a companion picture with paint? Im not sure if thats what everyone else used. Seems like that might be difficult.

I'll take electric soul, and I don't understand why nobody else did last thread. It's really hard to kill something made of electricity, and lightning bolts are hotter than fire eyes over there. As long as I hunt down Changeling Gun within a month, I'm golden.

You're not ready to know yet.
Follow the king.
Say the name thrice.

Are you referring to the template? If so, there's a GIMP version of it here:
drive.google.com/file/d/0Bwl-aJm3wG4nLWV2NzFtVW9rVjQ/view?usp=sharing

I'm pretty sure it's some lovecraftian bullshit.

Im asking how people usually fill the template out. Im not sure if I should use paint or something else.

>I have to act super happy and energetic all the time. People at work probably think I'm crazy. But they don't get that when I don't make 300% effort to be positive I get so depressed I cry all the time and can hardly get out of bed, it's like when you have a bad cold or a flue and ache all over. It's like physically painful and tiring and I have to always be trying my best not to fall into that.....

What did she mean by this?

Personally, I use GIMP, but GIMP isn't the easiest thing to use. Paint could work, if you know what your doing, or any other Photoshop-like tool.

>Changeling Weapon
But what do you mean "fits in your hands" ?
Can be carried, or must be able to hold in hands?

Be able to be holded in hand

>paint
I wouldn't recommend it. If you don't already have GIMP I'd recommend installing it and using the template since it has all the text boxes correctly aligned with the right fonts, and there's a layer mask so you don't have to crop your character art.

Can we then assume it can be anything from a knife to a sniper rifle, but not a rocket launcher since you fire those from over your shoulder and not from your hands?

it has to be able to fit in your hands, you have to be able to carry it, and it must not require more than one person to operate correctly

Power Armour?

BACKPACK NUKE IS A GO
>implying I won't kill myself
YOU WANT PENDANT?
TOO BAD
HERE BOMB

TAKEITBOY

you can carry a metric ton of nuke on your back? that's impressive. Unless you mean you're going to survive three full months without this strategy.

Considering fictional weapons are allowed, that's really broken.
What's to stop me from copying the Outrage or some similarly world-destroyingly powerful weapon?

you have to survive a month with just conventional weaponry.
good luck with that.

A month isn't that long. Nothing's stopping you from going on a trip around the world, making it hard for the other guys to keep up with you.
This one power alone after the one month mark is stronger than the other eight powers combined, is what I'm getting at.

is it really though? I mean, just because you have a magic gun that gives you aim bot doesn't mean the body triple guy can't just yank your pendant at 100 MPH before you can react.
Or the portal guy can yank your pendant from 200 feet away behind several walls
or some mind slave of the Demonic Vision could just wait until you have to sleep and yank it
or fire guy with some binoculars could set you on fire
oh electric soul could just blast through you at light speed and fuck all of your shit up
Liquid Heart is really hard to kill with most weapons
Black Blood ignores bullets and can stab you before he burns to death
speaking of Burning, the other eye guy can just light you up from miles away with a good telescope.
You are very easy to kill, is what I'm getting at here. you are even easier to kill within the first month, and since the Pendants are homing beacons for each other, good luck running.

Tactical nuclear weapons do not weigh a ton. So long as you 'only' want a multi kiloton detonation there are certainly warheads that a person could lift and carry.

You're drastically uderestimating the strength of a lot of fictional weapon.
Hell, you're underestimating the strength of conventional weapons like explosives.

Besides, if I survive that first month, there's nothing stopping me from making up my own fictional weapon and just summoning that.
>This gun, when fired, immediately teleports any item of my choosing to my location
GG no RE

...

as I said, first you have to survive the month, and there is NOTHING you can do to stop someone from yanking your pendant while you sleep for the first month, and even after that there are ways to get past BS like sentries.

OH, and another thing: you don't just get the knowledge on how to use your weapon, so, ya know, good luck activating those magic weapons or not blowing yourself up with those tech weapons.

>Tactical nuclear weapons do not weigh a ton.

They weigh many times more.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tactical_nuclear_weapon

> So long as you 'only' want a multi kiloton detonation there are certainly warheads that a person could lift and carry.

'a person', maybe. I very seriously doubt that person is you.

>Implying all fictional weapons are very difficult to use

not all of them, but the vast majority require some type of training to use effectively.

anyways, gonna work on a more comfy CYOA now

The W54 was just over fifty pounds and had a 10-20 ton yield for the basic model (there were variants up to one kiloton designed for atomic demolition for army engineers and paratroopers to destroy infrastructure in the fulda gap). Its not multi-kiloton yield like the other guy wants by any stretch but man-portable nuclear weapons do exist.

Better known as the Davy Crockett, though that's technically the delivery system not the warhead.

I considered posting that info myself but decided not to get involved.

Take gates
Immediately go visit healer and make a deal.

Transportation whenever/wherever they want, in exchange for healing.

Always remember to say thank you for healing.

I'm going to go with soul fire, If only to train a lot and eventually make myself a weapon of mass destruction. Though I might also need to target Heart's Desire, if only to prevent myself from getting fuck locked, unless he comes to me and says he won't do that.

Since Fire and Lightning are both forms of energy, I feel I can become bros with the Lightning Form.

Though I need to ask, can I cook with Soul Fire?

Been thinking about making a boatslut cyoa. But sadly it seems that I have problems with thinking up couple more boatfus. So if anyone here has any less famous or otherwise underappreciated WW1/WW2 ships (in other words no ultra famous boats like HMS Hood or USS Enterprise please, I know it is bit hypocritical given that I have already included a fair share of famous boats but please bear with me) I would like to hear about them. Destroyers, submarines, light cruisers, light and escort carriers preferred but not mandatory.

God damn, there should almost be a CYOA FAQ, and this should be on it.

One of the older CYOA authors used Hastur/The King in Yellow/The Mask as a signature of sorts. If you saw that sort of option at the end, you knew it was one of his.

Some races like magical girl don't have much use for credits, so they can get a couple of drones without much difficulty. I intended more for like one or two drones per person; not an army of them unless that was all your really wanted to put your points into.

This is what I mean, though. You can't buy drones and drone synergies/prereqs.

Worldly Body. Exploit my godhood to get stuff, like advanced tech or magic (or waifus or housing) or whatever. If need be, use said stuff to keep the other five from messing with me (e.g. something to help with the exhaustion for Healing Light, and hordes of braindead humans or somesuch so Soul Fire can get their life extensions without actually killing people). Also somehow use the "populate with anything you desire" clause to gain immunity to the other powers (save for Healing Light, and maybe an at-will toggleable immunity for Astral Gates).

>Magic portal
I could teleport into armories to take weapons, warp into shops to steal supplies, and sneak onto transportation to go anywhere I could want, all the while being able to move around my stockpile of supplies.
The teleportation also lets me dodge attacks from and kill anyone else on the list apart from liquid heart and electric soul.

FUCK

Whatever, I'll just take Lightning Body and be a super hero or something

>so Soul Fire can get their life extensions without actually killing people
No need. I'll just limit my targets to people in wars and criminals.

I could help you if you wanted.

Yeah sure, we'll be a two-man team of super heros.

Nice. Just let me have some of their souls every now and then.

No problem man

>I'll just limit my targets to people in wars and criminals.
Eh, it'll at least be a contingency in case people you might currently consider kill-worthy cease to be (although I'd personally prefer making people into productive members of society rather than outright killing them).

Also, I could probably make clones of whoever you kill, except so that they're better persons than the originals, in case they had family or friends or such.

Updating my build.

Heart's Desire.
Shapeshifting and sex are both respectable powers.

With no foreknowledge of the person who has Astral Gates, I'd probably slap a minute-long whammy on them and make sure they weren't planning on killing me, then give them either another whammy or an honest apology, whichever is appropriate.

Submitting character for the Allies section.

Not sure if this image was used before. Is this pic the correct dimensions?

Since I have a shit memory, I'll have to just ask: What CYOAs are you guys working on? And for the sake of keeping people somewhat up-to-date, how's progress?

Before you ask, yes, I'm making a thing. Don't expect it to be done anytime soon, but it will be done eventually. Also it's another fetish bullshit CYOA, so yeah.

There is nothing wrong with fetish CYOAs , at least so long as it isn't a cooking cutter fetish that has been done billion times.

Universal War. Done but updating until Christmas at least.

Also working on Monolith on the side.

Looks fine user.

Let's see...

I'll take the medical kit, the binoculars, two machetes (I'm allowed to take the same thing twice, right?) & two lots of field rations.

My companions will be old, Scandinavian explorer guy and Max the dog. That way there's one machete for each of us & the dog seems useful.

My allies will be the Germans since they need food (of which I have an abundance thanks to my double field rations), and they have a surplus of guns 'n' ammo, which I lack.

For enemies... oh, I dunno, let's say the native savages.

I suppose the treasure we're seeking can be the fountain of youth (makes sense considering my aging companion, and it seems like the kind of thing the Nazis would be interested in).

Adventure ho!

Quests:
Quiet SOS - Bloodstone
Sajula Tower of Flame - Sajula itself
Xanthous City - The Grimoire
Painted World - Scythe of Sin (Soul Bind)

Certain build elements are meant for a rapid start, since killing the first few competing incarnates is so important.

Step 1: Use Oracle, Causality, and magic to find other incarnates and engage if I can win. With Oracle, I can do this relatively risk-free.

Step 2: With Supremacy over Ithaqua, I should be able to get the Bloodstone PDQ.

Step 3: With Oracle, Causality, magic, and the Bloodstone I should be able to find the Scythe of Sin fairly quickly. Bind it to my soul.

Step 4: With steps 1-3, I should be able to take on the Xanthous City. If necessary, I can stick to a support role with Causality.

Step 5: Procreate. My lineage will be the people of Sajula, and I’ll consider it revived when I’ve screwed enough bitches (since the quest is vague).

I am a sun god, head of a pantheon of fire, light, healing, and knowledge. My people toiled in harsh conditions - I brought them genetically modified flora to house the homeless, feed the hungry, cure the sick, and harness the energy of my rays. My people suffered from violence - I brought them the death of their wicked enemies. My kingdom was destitute - I brought it the bounty of my seed. Now it is Sajula, my Kingdom of Heaven.

My progeny and I create golems, familiars, etc. We have various means of creating magic items. Through generations we can breed magical species and have corps of shapeshifters, burrowers, etc. We genetically modify the environment to create great wealth, and use that wealth to generate elementals. These forces are used optimally due to my foresight, fight optimally due to my influence over causality, and are amplified by my miracles and magic. Then our might can be turned towards liberating those parts of the multiverse that have been sullied, and bring them my light.

Xath leads my cult and encourages my worship. Vatiel boosts my causality power and can cure Malakei’s curse. Solange boosts my miracles. Yora boosts my foresight. Spirit Stone boosts my Miracles and Occultism. Malakei can help me kill gods when necessary.

Seven Sins Revision Update, though that is on hold while I try to balance some of the options.

Back to college cyoa, though I still need to possibly revise a companion due to having only a bare understanding of Frats. If anyone can explain it, that would be fine.

I think I have a different colored elements cyoa, though It might be a little wordy right now and I still need a few more options.

The one I am currently working on right now is the DLC for the Powers cyoa I made a while back.

There are also several other ideas I have, but I won't make a cyoa on them until I'm done with my current ones.

Working on improving Rorch

What did the Halloween Update even have?

Blood Magic Update will be finished in a few days. Maybe even tomorrow.

From what I've gathered, new companions (Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, The Invisible Man, etc.) and a new item or two.

Really like the incorporation of the invisible man, by the way.

>Burning Eyes
It will take cooperation with other pendants to ambush me, which is unlikely, because at least one will have to come closer to me to let the killer do the job, making themselves vunerable to me and killer.
Best self-defence choice.

Don't Worry too much about images, Highlander will make it work. As long as you don't stretch the image, it'll be fine.

Actually @ 8 for TL. So, anyway:

Elementalist II * 2 [Fire, Air]
Destroyer II [Personal Style]
Astral Projection II

Unique Weapon should be useful here as well.


Lack of Endurance levels shouldn't be too bad since TL can hop on Energy Absorption from the Air.

First order of business: cook up Malakei a soul. Second: Nyarth probably wants his body back. Gotta get some flesh on those old bones too. If Saluja can't be brought back in one piece with my party members, it can't be done.

>go

Dude, did you see the last thread? Everyone was going against the burning eyes guy.

>It will take cooperation with other pendants to ambush me
Or they could get help from a non-pendant-wearer.

Go to wikipedia. It'll give you some lists.
I'm no expert on the entirety of navies, by which I mean I'm autistic and can name every sunk ship in ironbottom sound but unfortunately low on time. I'll be back in 8 or so hours hopefully. Sounds like you're asking for ships with only a single achievement. It's actually kind of hard to figure out who's famous at times, which is weird.
I noticed that you don't have HMS Bulldog on there. She captured the enigma machine, which is pretty important. Admittedly she's ultra famous, but still.
I also like DD-459 Laffey. I can (only somewhat inaccurately) describe her as American Yuudachi. Not really as much of a monster, but still pretty significant. Unfortunately due to time restraints I have to tell you to read up on her yourself. I just wanted to let you know people care.

>changeling weapon
>Green ball of energy

I want this semen demon.

Can I shapeshift into a little girl with liquid heart?

Yup.
And Black Blood seems to be from Soul Eater.
Magic Portal reminds me of Wakfu Eliatropes.

This guy is fuckin' nerd.

Also, what the ever-living fuck is this, capchka? Why do I need to draw around the fucking plane? Just give me some damn pictures to click.

If you reach just a bit earlier into pre-dreadnoughts, you get Mikasa, Borodino, and a few others.

Also, USS Constitution has not left active service since her construction, so technically she was around during WWII.

Titan Wars: Universal Beam
Liquid Sky Cult: Have to rescue the TB soul.

HMS Victory is older still and remains a commissioned warship of Her Majesty's navy. Constitution is the oldest warship still in the water, though: Victory is preserved in drydock.

Clearly the answer is to include both and have them be grumpy boatgrandmas.

I live pretty far away from the most of you and a foreigner would pretty much stand out, so I think I'm not that fucked up.

ayy, someone caught it

these two were much more obvious, but good on you for recognizing them anyways

Why is it that only the UK and US have gone to such lengths to preserve a boat, sir dub dubs?

I'll take whichever no one else will.
Eris is a shitty waifu, I've read webmage. I'll team up with someone but I don't want to be last man standing.

>those socks

A high fantasy setting character/army building cyoa.

To be fair toe socks are pretty great.

Working on not dying from some hideous stomach flu thing. After that, I'll be finishing a minigirl parent type thing. Gotta put up an example of accompanying the authors when I'm done not dying. I'll probably take a month or so to finish that, and make a few smaller things. Then I'm going to be taking a while off to work on The Salted City until a version worthy of posting is done.

>Gotta put up an example of accompanying the authors when I'm done not dying.
Is "accompanying the authors" the new "author waifu CYOA"? If so, how many authors are we going to be choosing from (and how many will you let us have)?

Is grannykaze okay?

I started work on the image for our team from last thread:
I used what images were posted, but had to find one for the slime. If their in this thread, give me a different pic to use if you don't like this one. I'm also looking for names, role names, descriptions, and a team name.

I'm also looking for thoughts on my proposed budget (), especially from Cowmom to see if she's ok with pooling the extra 20 creds.

Hey, Lodo.

I was wondering. "Control Gravity" ability in the Occultist Power. How strong is it? By how much can I change gravity?

Not them but, your writeup is and responses are unreal and so are the people making choices.

First off no one is taking into account that the world is huge and people choosing are not all going to be on the same continent. You only get someone's current location not where they are all the time or who they are. There are logistics to even getting to someone else as none of the powers give you the ability to travel great distances, so good luck in some penniless neet getting to someone in austrailia when they live in london.

Second the "fictional weapon you're trying to explain away is so stupidly powerful that the other user is correct. All s/he would have to do is write up a fictional weapon that automatically worked for whoever wanted it and could insta kill or do whatever they wanted per activation and they win. They could even do something like "turn into the infinity gauntlet from marvel comics" and just control all of reality.

World maker is the close second as they can also just make crazy stuff and pull it outside of themselves, or disappear from this reality into themselves for 1 week leaving a portal wherever they wanted. Their downside is that weapon kiddy matures faster then them.

People are so laughable when they do these and ignore the "reality" of their situation as the powers don't change if you're broke or living across the world in some remote place, etc...

I'm not working on anything. I'm taking a break after finishing a project.

I think you're mixing up my CYOAs

>Pick Astral Gates
>Immediately make a fist-sized portal to each of the other power holders in random order
>Reach hand through portal and pull out heart or brain
>I now have all powers about 10 seconds after they were handed out
>mfw

Totally balanced. No, really!

This one doesn't indicate you can get the other five powers by killing/defeating the other recipients.

Am I missing something, or are people putting a "Highlander transfer" thing in this CYOA where there isn't one?

You're right. I mixed them up. Still, if you pick Astral Gates you become the leader of this little power group. None of the others could ever disobey your commands for fear of being instantly killed at any time.

It's fine.

I even fell asleep before realizing I had the extra 20. Think I went with Hannah for a name, Role was likely MedEvac and Ration Extension.
