CYOA General
Isn't new Traveller supposed to come out today?
Aye, just finished the update, but I'm adding a table of contents and reformatting everything. Also going to do one last grammar check. I think I got everything, but I want to make sure.
It will either drop tonight or in the morning, I'm not leaving until its done.
What all have you added? I wanna know if I should post my build now or wait until you finish up
wait is the image version or the pdf one?
Sub factions, a few additional items, additional panic buttons, additional lore and several sections were rewritten.
PDF, I'm redoing the hubworld images because I can't fucking stand the way they turned out.
Are there any boat Travellers? I was thinking of a build but I want it to be original.
...
Not really no.
Oh, shit. I'll post it anyways in case I want to redo some of my older builds.

Why in the actual fuck would you want to be a boat?
A
The same reason some guy made a Xenomorph and someone else made Cell.
Because he can.
...
It's gonna be the spirit of a former Air Force pilot that died, and then his spirit naturally floated into his most beloved possession, his speedboat. It's not like I would WANT to be a boat.
Can't wait to see the new update!
...
Both filenames are missing the "m" from "Symbiote", in case you hadn't noticed.
I would still rather be a spaceship.
anything to say about the lore discussion in the last thread?
Would a spirit that permanently bonded to a boat and will die when the boat dies require a mechanical or spiritual transfusion
Yeah I tend to copy/paste filenames so I end up with multiple misspelled filenames
What temperature?
Super Shroom
Mega Shroom
Mecha Bowser
Watt
???
gg ez
But where is the Hammer Bros suit? That's my favorite.
So don't be.
The build isn't supposed to be ME my dude.
...
well it's new, but the thread's been live for about 20 minutes, so I'd say 120 farenheit
I would pick spirit so you could appear and disappear ghost ship style. BE the Flying Dutchman!
Rolled 8 (1d12)
Oh wait I forgot to roll for the ? Block
Extra Mega Shroom Get
But he'd be a terrible boat if he was an AF pilot. Why would you torture him so?
But I don't want my build to do that. It's not a ghost boat, it's a ghost IN A BOAT. Plus the build isn't actually me.
Sadly someone started up Traveler talk.

realized some of the options were misspelled
Anyone have any cool speedboat drawings?
I would buy a boat and a lich's phylactery in that case. It is not perfect but HL lets us bend things if it makes sense.
I think I'll just end up doing mechanical transfusion. A speedboat is mechanical after all.
...
But you're not an AI. I would say the phylactery could be part of the boat and your body.
You don't have to be an AI for a mechanical transfusion, and like you said there's not a perfect way to do things but HL offers some leniency.
>Villan
Anyway I don't mind lacking an intimidating name or theme along with my build since I already can't win a fighting game match to save my life anyway.
I'm thinking about making my first CYOA. I have no experience with writing or design.
How are good methods and good places to find usable pictures of cute girls in medieval armor?
It probably makes little difference but I would consider doing a little something to acknowledge the mystic nature of the character.

>Electric Aura
>Mind over Matter
Minibosses
>Ares-4
>Mallory Le Fay
Heroes
>Agent White
>Damien
The most heinous kind of villain trio, some random assholes that kill other martial artists to prove their own superiority, no big evil plan or globe spanning plot just wanton destruction for the sake of getting stronger.
Agent White was sent after them under the assumption that there was a greater plot and is instead infuriated by the trail of dead martial artists
Damien was the victim of this band of jerks as gis entire clan was wiped out by the villain so he could steal some of their techniques.
So, I just read that taking extra heroes allows more moves. I took all of them. I shall post again once I overlook this shit more thoroughly.
Lighting Fist says you project your "key" through your skin, is this your house key or your car key? It sounds a lot more painful than projecting ki through your skin, too.
So how does this work? Do I take 2 symbiotes, or just one?
I think you get 2 simbiontes 6 abilities and 4 companions
kek
Anyone happen to have Alien Waifu on hand?
This one to be precise.
I lost the Mystery Box.

I believe Yog-Sothoth is one of the GOOs. Duwall spoke with it.

I don't need Hybrid, when I can use the spawn to create an Antitoxin Hybrid with some experimentation. Maybe in time sciencedude and I can perfect the tech integration process and have that feature going for us too. Even without these hypotheticals though, in the end I'm not going to go down permanently. A healing specialized symbiote with the regen trait will have insane healing rates. Tendrils are mostly for mobility and awareness. Shapeshifting is for chaning my identity whenever I want, so that j jonah cuckeson wont be able to solidly pin bullshit on me.

Little start up, I-frames during ascension, and can recover from the ground with a capoeira kick spin. A variation goes a little further before coming down with a Muay Thai inspired knee Drop combo(The Chai version)
>Espresso Shot(Lighting Fist I guess?)
The user takes a stance collecting ki, before unleashing a powerful Shaolin Sweeping punch that ends in a near instant projectile. Double, Triple and Macciato variations are known to exist.
>Orange Blossom Tea (Hurricane Kick sorta)
I wanted Genocide Cuttah, but I'm taking not-Rugal to be sort of a rival/surprise boss. Sidestep and a TKD kick to the jaw that sends the opponent upwards. I'll catch them in the air and slam them to the ground.

>Heroes
I'll take all of them. Chances are they will beat the snot out of each other before the winner tries to face me.
What this guy said
Just the doopliss and informed goomba powers are enough to make your life easy and successful but since I've got coins too I'll take the golden mushroom and fire flower to make everything even easier.
>SYMBIOTE: Scream
Just my luck to end up with this one, huh? I don't mind that much, but it's awkward to explain to my friends, ya know?
>ABILITIES: Enhanced Shapeshifting, Regeneration, Spawning
Can't argue with the benefits, though. Still going to be awkward explaining this, but I can at least convince everyone this was a good turn for me. That, and think of the cosplay opportunities!
>COMPANIONS: Scientist, Bro
I have a lot of questions for the good doctor, but an old friend also has my back. So, overall, things look like they're gonna go pretty well.
I mean, unless I get set on fire.

I remember there being a 2nd more furry version, but I just am looking for the Mystery Box on this one.
It's also not under "Alien Waifu CYOA" in any of the Paste folders.
I like this one. Might end up as a companion in the next version.
There are two versions of this CYOA, each with its own mystery box. I guess I'll just dump it all my connection will allow.
You're a sweetheart, user.
I know which one I'm looking for, but I can't remember the wording or image on it.
...
Mystery box version 1
Sauce on the image? Looks nice.
Yep, that's the one I was looking for, also, that's Part 2's box, my bad.
Well then.
Hybrid, Anti-Venom
Enhanced Shapeshifting, Resistant, Regeneration, Strength, Invisible
Vigilante, Henchman, Reporter, Scientist
-1 ability since I took Anti-Venom.
Mystery box version 2. This one makes me consider making full choose-your-creepy-waifu-with-suspicious-lewds CYOA I've mentioned long time ago, but too busy nowadays.
Crap, didn't tick the spoiler. Oh well, it's small enough that it's unreadable and shouldn't cause much issues.
Found it here. No idea. Use iqdb or google images if you really want to know.
I'll take ???.
Sell star for coins (80)
>Super Mushroom (65)
The Gains, man.
>Golden Mushroom (25)
I like gold. Also having the speed of a car can really help me. Does this also mean I can move and act generally faster in everyday activities?
>Fire Flower (5)
SAY YOUR PRAYERS, HEAT DEATH OF THE UNIVERSE!!!
>Watt
I want to glow
>Doopliss
Technical Immortality.
Just going to chill at home and hope I don't have to work out that hard to keep my peak human condition.
>Carnage
Sounds like a nice guy.
>Resistant (both)
I like Fire
>Natural Weapons
Can't fight without sharp things
>Strength
Punch everything with the force of a nuke.
>Villain
I want to conquer the world.
>Menace! (to get Tendrils)
Because I'm already working for the villain.
The cyoa looks great but I would add in an ULTRA Super move section in addition to the techniques
You only get one but it's your most powerful move
If you take informed goomba you can rule the world. Don't you realize how incredibly useful it is to automatically know the health, strengths, and weaknesses of EVERYONE you meet? You could become a billionaire from this alone.
Most people probably won't bother with the effort of working on shit to use the information they'll be given. Plus, you still need your own abilities, personality and wit to use the infrmation as leverage.
Informed goomba + doopliss = Easy road to power for anyone with half a brain.
Imagine the shenanigans!
But if I took that, I wouldn't be able to glow or be immortal. Besides, I can impersonate any important person I wish.
>hey, why'd the president start glowing all the sudden
>i guess it's just one of those things
...
Only an idiot wants to rule the world. Have you got any idea how much of a pain in the ass that would be?
...
Use your head, friendo. If you just give up peak human condition you can have all the rest.
Doopliss can give you all the glow you need and you'll lose the peak human condition when you switch bodies anyway!
Now, there is an easy way around that; just go into a long tirade about taxes and how I was raised in a location as a young boy. Chances are they will be so bored that they forget I'm glowing.
I only said rule the world to indicate how powerful the ability is. You can just become another rich guy living a secluded life in a far-off mansion if you want. My point is it would make one's life easy.
Why not go one step further and do what Capcom vs SNK 2 did; different Grooves with different power mechanics that allow varied effects. Like a Samurai Groove that boosts HP, can regen and can unleash a single Super move once you take enough damage, or the Alpha Groove that instead of Supers it can make you lighting fast for 6 seconds once charged enough.
>you'll lose the peak human condition when you switch bodies anyway!
Then wouldn't I loose all of my other powers if I switched bodies. You know what, I have a better idea; use three people to impersonate the president or something.
>Change bodies with spare person, keep him locked in the cellar.
>Change bodies with the president in my new body.
>Do president things.
>Go back to my original body when I'm done.
>Plus other small details, such as upkeep and studying.
>tfw Super Mushroom, Fire Flower, Ice Flower
I'd take those three and spend my stars on the Goomba and Doopliss powers.
