Probably A. I think I'd go B if you told us more.
That is, assuming you're actually going to make such a cyoa and not fishing for (You)'s

>rance
Garbage.

A if the one making it is any good, otherwise, B

Interesting rebalancing I think it works overall. More options= More points it is simply an inevitable power creep.

One idea for a realm could be an undercover type realm. Ergo one in which Teiatat has no influence and we as Brides go in to change that. We could convert powerful people to cultists, corrupt bloodlines, fight, take over a kingdom, seek out treasure/power, eat the Princess, etc. It would possibly be the most freestyle option and maybe even a chance for the Rebels to try and go AWOL.

With that idea in mind a few stealth options could [s]cum[/s] come in handy.

Another realm could be us on loan to another Elder Power with lots of possibilities.

I know it is not the main theme of Lavender but some more crimson options would be nice as well. For example a Crimson Grimoire that had martial sorcery (what I would not give for an Argent Grimoire though), an option that makes us enjoy combat (with a suboption that makes us bloodthirsty lunatics), and maybe a martial treasure or two (perhaps a Geisha war fan).

Some other options I have had on my mind have been: voice options (with subchoices to give a bonus to sorcery and special...vocalization options), dancing ability, a perfume treasure, a full body mirror that won't break, a musical instrument treasure, and a possessed dildo.

I'm glad you liked it, but that world is done. It wasn't succesful. You don't go back to a failure. Sorry.

I think that user meant the core idea not the specific world. Specifically through some circumstance we end up in a new world in a new body/identity, which has a preexisting history that must be contended with as opposed to a straight drop in.

>Donna Betelisi, the Trevalyn Representative | Weapon of Choice : Chiappa Rhino
The Lady's right arm in expedition businesses. Southern italian daredevil with a fascination for north african culture. Miss Betelisi had a travelogue reality show not too long ago.

>The Sponsor : Lady Angelisse Delia Merry Trevalyn
A wealthy socialite, old kook, with a penchant for nagging and a multibillion maritime trade company at her back. She was a lifelong friend of the late M.I. , the author of the notebook.
I met Delia at the funeral mass for Mr. M.I. . An oddly vacant event belying the splendor of the chosen venue. The grand cathedral was deserted save for Lady Trevalyn herself, her security, the priest, and me. A social butterfly with a silver tongue and an eye for wealth, we talked this and that, one thing led to another, and then again 3 days later to a plane bound to some distant hellhole.

>The Team
>Me | Weapon of Choice : Micro Uzi w/ collapsible stock (this CYOA could really benefit from an equipment section)
There's not much to say about old me. Fat, self-defeating NEET. Hardly the ideal candidate for this line of work. The only reason I was even considered is the possession of M.I.'s notebook. It entitles me to the full participation in the joint ventures between the M.I. estate and the Trevalyn group. Unfortunately for me, their common business had more to do with snakes and malaria rather than decadent parties and the comfort of the urban lifestyle I'm so used to.
As sending this sad bag of crap as it is anywhere could be constituted as premeditated murder, Lady Trevalyn has graciously prepared a six-month survival crash course through hell with living Legend Traveler Extraordinaire Ruya Watalli. When and if I come back, I will be included in the Traveler Corps; an elite group of modern day tomb looters who delve deep in long forgotten temples in search for valuable artefacts that ought to be in a museum or private collection, somewhere far away from the barbarous natives, somewhere in the civilized world (possibly passing through the black market). Eh, at least it's better than Blood Diamonds.

The dotted line separator between Perfect Neoteny and Commanding Mien seems misplaced.

Is "Cult Figurehead" the (only) option that'd let you return to Earth?

Got a question that's kinda related to this guy's.
What's the proportion of humans-to-shoggoths that you'd be fucking in each realm?

Rolled 57 (1d100)

My first job, and it's not even what I trained for. It seems a rival pharmaceutical firm is in the final stages before flooding the national markets with some new superdrug ambrosia; like crack, heroin and speed combined to boost the patient's immunosystem. Our job is to steal the prototype, trash some computers, move a few millions around so it looks like a heist rather than corporate sabotage. Their security is very light, so the possibility of casualties is minimal.

Dyno-Farm won't be able to replicate this miracle cure without getting sued, but maybe they can reverse engineer some new supressant systems out of it.

Huh. The first waifu's description confuses me. It seems to take for granted that you chose the first nightmare, however, the description at the top of the page states that you can choose any nightmare-waifu combination.

It's less "you chose this nightmare" and more "she was born from this nightmare", I think.

Maie, so I could use the tech to become a little girl and do all sorts of other cool shit in that world.

>Big Net
>Camo Jacket

Me and ol Juan gonna catch us some dinner.

I noticed the first page I have saved differs from this one and assume you posted a later version.

You're missing a couple pages, though.

And the 2nd mystery box.

the one you posted is a sequel, user

Ah, I see. Is there a newer version compared to what I have? Since the 4th option says it's supposed to be replaced.

>tfw Spacefuture hasn't released a CYOA in a while
I can feel my itch growing stronger...

Sadly no. The creator dropped it. The sequel was incredibly unpopular after the initial one got endless praise so he probably couldn't handle the pressure.

>solar spitz

>Armiger Retriever
>>Everlasting Bludwurst
>>Mellow Flowers
>>Subspace Backyard

And user walked to the store and came back with camping supplies, veggies and seeds, clothing, materials for a cooking pit, a metric fuck-ton of paper and pencils, and one very over-charged credit card.

He was not seen for a bit over a decade.

The waifus description make them sound too attached to their respective nightmares. Most glaringly is using the Leviathan on land based nightmares and using any of the other waifus on deep waters.

Can I make a build now without it becoming invalid after an update?

Lala is pretty close to how I would like to be as a waifu: All that power and not using it because you asked her nicely not to, and she doesn't want to insult you.

I actually work as a botanist in my home country, so this was really fun.

Success: 70% | Survival 100%

>Expedition
Gangga Negara

>The Contact
I met Mademoiselle Trevalyn at a rather innocuous situation. I mean, whoever saw that enthusiastic woman at her visit to the botany department where I worked would certainly think she was interested, but never to such extent.
I think if goes without saying, then, that I though I was being tricked while reading her letter. But the one way ticket to France, the tidy little map leading to her estate in Bordeaux and the call from my headmaster thanking me for the donations I got for the department ended up convincing me to take the plane, and meet this mysterious benefactor.

>The Merry Band of Mercenaries
>Me, The Professor
As I stated early, I'm a researcher for the botany department on the University of South Rivendell, a small town located just south of Liverpool. My research is on the basis of plant communication, which makes me travel a lot to countries with a bigger biodiversity. Other than that I'm just your pretty average joe, albeit a little bit fit because of the field research.

And yes, I did forget to add in Puzzle Genitalia. That seems like an option made specifically for me, thank you.

>Winnie Yau, The Weeb
Well, I may have forgot to mention that besides my career and jungle-dwelling I'm actually a pretty normal guy with a huge knack for games and cartoons, which makes so that I meet all sorts of people, even a treasure hunter! Although to be quite fair I always thought Winnie was just joking around with her katana.
>Pollinus Satch, The Rusty
Pollinus was introduced to me by Trevalyn after briefing me in on the whole expedition thing. She said that although a bit of a loose screw, the guy is pretty nice and overall a great traveler, so I took her word for it, and boy was I happy about doing so. And although it's kinda weird having a mounted guy in the middle of a rainforest, it's pretty nice not to carry a lot of weight
>George Wertheim, The Doctor
After hearing about Pollinus' condition, I immediately called George. Although he didn't work at my department, he is a genius doctor and his constant visits to our greenhouse actually made us good friends inside and outside of the lab

>Jack Faulds, The Experienced
As Mademoiselle Trevalyn wisely said, no expedition is good without an archeologist, and no archeologist is as good as Jack. This old boxer may have his issues with alcohol, but other than that he is definitely one of the nicest guys you'll ever know, and his years of experience just add up to his perks

>Challenges and Rewards
Disaster (rolled a 2 at random.org)|Crush
Treasure Thief 1|Icebreakers

>Mimic
>Attract
>Protect
>Rest
A long, healthy life, with no language barriers and can easily just ask people for money when I need it.

...

has there been any news of this?

you gonna die son
in fact of all mankinds gonna son in those conditions

So who's the best (your favorite) CYOA waifu? Use whatever criteria you want. ??? for her godlike powers, your favorite Archdemon so you can one day own them, Miya because of sympathy. Answer according to whatever you like: best benefits, best personality, best written, etc..

Was the first version made in 2016? If so, I'd like to nominate RWBY for that "best cyoa this year" thingie.
>tfw still have no idea what i want from another RWBY CYOA, only that I want it

Is this a shared world?

>So who's the best (your favorite) CYOA waifu?
Beri
I have to protect her smile.

If Beri wasn't an option, I pick ??? because that's 10/10 yandere that doesn't want to kill you. She wants to create the perfect world for the both of you, and be every person you interact with so that you are never apart.

The amazon from the Branching Heart CYOA because it gives a lot of benefits (like money/lodging), she seems nice (and I don't need tons of powers to enjoy life) and she catters best to my fetishes.
Best CYOA for waifus.

The only improvement I'd really like would be expanded semblance options, there are loads of options, I mean hell, you could even just roll with the superpower wiki and have a decent (if overpowered) semblance from that.
The options provided are good, but I want either a lot more, or just an option to make shit up, within reason.

I'd consider authors as options, but you ought to pick a specific incarnation in an author waifu CYOA.

If I can take a META cyoa, then I'd like to Waifu The Devower from the Alien Waifu CYOA and take options in the Paperwork Error CYOA. (Oh and Immortality so she's very happy.)

If not I'd love my custom Futa Amazon from the Evil CYOA (the Waifu option.)

If only because of powers and a partner to fuck the world over alongside.

(YEs I know I'm cheating.)

What's the coolest kind of magic?

Envy 1: Fortune Thief
Envy 2: Covetous Destruction
|*Greed
.\Lust
Envy 3: Trading Places
|*Greed
|Lust
.\Sloth

Lust 1: God of Sex
Lust 2: The Quickie
|Envy
.\*Gluttony

Sloth: Fewer Powers

"Curses"
|Fewer Powers
|Unknown
.\Fair Play

Boons
.\Speciality Versatility x3

Okay, so the powers I just listed combine beautifully.

Envy 2 can destroy people's items if they are longer term threats to you. (That heroes sniper rifle for instance.)
Envy 2's Greed can be used for quick cash or getting items you need quick. (Like that iPhone you want.)
Envy 3 with Sloth makes it easycakes.
Envy 3's Greed is also for stealing. (larger scale, the megarich will be confused and searching endlessly assuing magic is not known. If it is I'll be careful.) Envy 3's Lust is Remote Possession and can make any 'targets self' or 'targets you' into 'targets remotely possessed target'. Rape is not the most evil, but making a woman submit to various things and gradually degrading her until she's a worn out whore with out the ability to 'grip' a baseball bat (fat end) is going to 'milk' one woman for much evil. Also making her 'stumble' into Lust 2's rapes and other fun.

Lust 1 is for looking good. Supposing the demon wants to be attractive to younger women with tight bodies and who appriciate men with high test. (Hmm...)
Lust 2 is where the fun is!

Lust 2 itself is good to break down women and fuck them. But the real fun is Lust 2 when random men are forced to watch as some undesirable services them. (Poorly, greatly, whatever. It's their being appalled at what's happeing that's great.)

Of course the aspects where many powers can be used to extract 'evil' from the same group of actions is where this build shines. It's all Minmaxing.

Pallas because nepotism

Fire cuz fire is the coolest shit. Woosh !

>make shit up, within reason.
kek we all know that won't be balanced in the slightest. Personally if I was told "come up with your own power", it would be boring and bland.

Evocation, it's flashy and cool. For a more practical cool magic I would suggest things like creation magic for making things creating life, or enchanting things with magic or creating thing that have magical power.

The ocean is the only super dangerous part, and it can be avoided.
The ice age may seem bad, but with temperature tolerance it's pretty manageable, and it isn't like all of the world is under ice.
Every human is also pretty much Captain America, and many will have access to magic.
Vampires don't want to destroy humanity, their numbers are limited, and I can easily hunt them down with telepathy.
Flames can emit UV light, so underground farms should be a handy way of getting food, and there is also the network of eatable fungus across the world.
The dead rising and spirits fucking everything up isn't an issue if you have fire + blessings, and humanity got both.
Didn't think of it, but why not I'll just slap on giftable Airdancer major.

I don't know what to say... Thanks. I don't think my smile has ever been protected before.

Oh, I'm glad one of mine is your favorite.

I know, but I can't really think of a way to have the ridiculous amount of variation that comes with semblances in RWBY.
Not without typing out enough options to make it 2-3 pages long, instead of just one, at least.

realmode: just wait for it to dehydrate and pass out.
Actual birds getting inside your actual retail store isn't all that great

I know exactly what you mean user. But it would be so ridiculously imbalanced
>I pick the immortality semblance!
>I pick the omnipotence semblance!
I mean... the amount of rules you'd have to include would limit your imagination just as much. It sucks, plain and simple.

>Getting the population up is priority number one
how? are you gonna fuck and impregnate all of humanity?

>how
yes

What do you have for the "Court of Teiatat"-type location?
I'm assuming Rue and Anaeli, but some other ideas include
>An old, important Crimson Kiss bride totally not based on the POWER build I'm updating that decided you look tasty, but not enough to break into your house and eat you
>Servant to *the* not!nobility, able to occasionally breed with legendary Brides but must otherwise be chaste-ish (+P -A)
>Lady/Lord of the Slums, a very respectable but dirty job (-P +S)
>In the dense political jungle, making it harder to stand out but mumble mumble orgies (-S +A)

Get a leadership position and encourage people to have more children, and yes.
Securing housing and food sources is also vital, because more people aren't of much use if they just chase your around with maggots crawling out of their eyes.

Fuck it, if I'm gonna do it (and get fired) I'll do it with style.

>Big Net
>Camo Jacket
>Kids
>Hottie
>Eagle
>You're Fired

It's funny seeing Trump here, the first time I saw this CYOA he wasn't in politics yet.

You should go all the way:

>Hottie
>Janitor
>TWO EAGLES
>YOU'RE FIRED

Transmutation. Turn lead into gold, people into frogs, cats into bigger cats. Throw a rose, now it's a tower. Spend the night, leave, now it's breakfast. Then sit on a rock, turn it into a motorcycle, and ride off into the sunrise.

>Big Net
Only the BIG NET will do

>Manager
I want him to see what a good employee I am, but more importantly earn a day off whenever I want it

>Eagle
Everyone should know the thrill of a boss fight in their lifetime.

>and yes
I knew it!
yeah I think the main limit on population growth is lack of food and semen. both of which you will provide

SpecOps team Chomp, Snek and 2Pen reporting for duty !
Snek will do recon while Chomp and 2Pen are to get the menace destroyed and provide support in the worst case.
They must not fail !

Anin, you're confusing transmutation with Old Spice body wash.

tfw nobody wants to discuss the Evil CYOA.

>the BIG NET
WHEN I SAY GO

What's the EVIL CYOA and what is there to discuss?

Why *wait* for people to pick the omnipotence one?
Just add a blurb that all Semblances are reasonably balanced by definition, and add really weak (but still attractive) versions of popular choices to the big list of possible Semblances:
>Omnipotence: You can do anything... within a certain power scale. Creating a pinch of Dust, perfectly healing a large scar, temporarily controlling a weaker Grimm - these are all things you can do three times per day, if you're fully rested. Unparalleled in its versatility, but lacking in power.
>Immortality: You don't die of internal causes (age, disease, hunger/thirst, etc) and you can heal perfectly given enough time, but you must constantly spend energy to ward their effects off - if you don't eat or sustain yourself on power, you'll still hunger and waste away; using energy to fight Grimm doesn't let you fight disease, and going all out too often makes you age.
