This is why they're worst girls and nobody should pick them in the roommate CYOAs.

But how

WIP!!!

Hey, I'm the one doing the Lewd Size Cyoa.
the one where you play as a tiny person and get to design your life

I just wanted to get your thoughts on one of the girls.

Each girl has a set of themes.
Hers are sweat, feet, exercise and protecting you.

I still don't have the point- system in place yet. so I label the costs as CHEAP, MODERATE and EXPENSIVE
Also, the first paragraph is supposed to be a character (I haven't given her a color yet). Every other bit of black-colored text is a nameless narrator.

I only have two girls so far, but considering I come from /d/ you guys probably won't like the other one...

I have to go to bed. I'll be back in the morning to hear all about how I should die in a fire!

>I only have two girls so far, but considering I come from /d/ you guys probably won't like the other one...
There's a non-insignificant amount of overlap between /d/ and Veeky Forums.

As for the girl, sweat and feet aren't really my thing, but I like the protection aspect.

Lmaoing at that bitchfight in the /d/ thread. Stolen content lul.

Off-topic. Nobody cares.

(1/2)

...

My idea is to team up with people in order to survive and reach our quota for each season, and I would play the offtank

role in the frontline realying mainly in agility to dodge attacks and simple physical attacks for the daily hunts. When

things get hard my intention is to either use Overdrive combined with Willpower to endure the pain and Bloodlust to sustain

Overdrive over long periods of time or use Cataclysm to become intangible, whatever suits more the situation. If we have a

healer in the party who can help me to maintain Overdrive by healing me that would be really nice.

By the way, could I use both Overdrive and then Cataclysm so my muscles don't get ripped because I'm intangible?

(2/2)

>By the way, could I use both Overdrive and then Cataclysm so my muscles don't get ripped because I'm intangible?
No... If you're intangible you can't do anything with your overdrive. So, having both active would just drain you really fast...

>By the way, could I use both Overdrive and then Cataclysm so my muscles don't get ripped because I'm intangible?
Of course.

Got dammit I didn't miss you

YOU MISSED ME! I MISSED YOU TOO!

...

I'll assume that the most conservative answer is the correct one so it's a no, but I really liked the idea. Well, the main option is still overdrive+willpower+bloodlust+someone healing so the build should still work.

Posting a new goodie.

Time to kill giant monsters.

Easily the best CYOA of 2017.
The waifus all feel like people.

Going forth with the strategy of attaining maximal altitude, jumping down onto titans, activating the density etch on the tower shield that is now pointed straight down, casting with the macewand, mass and pound, as momentum reaches ludicrous heights, using flame skates as thrusters to correct trajectory and at the last possible moment, Deflect the force received to double the impact's power on the target.
If a simple strike carries the force to shake mountains under the force of Pound, then surely this combination will equal the force of a meteorite, obliterating anything in the vicinity of ground zero. If something survives, then the effects of mass and tilt will rend it to a form incapable of life.

My mental illnesses netted me all the boring waifus.

The build does. But, if you are intangible you can't get smacked and you can't smack anybody. SOO, overdrive isn't something you should be doing while intangible. I'd say.. intangible is like a specific dodge. If you really need to not get hit or get out of a grapple, do it. Otherwise stick with overdrive.

Panic disorder
Schizophrenia

Isolation
Alcohol

Melania Wetmore
Fenelia Meitzen
Nat Prosser

We can stay isolated in little group and drink all the booze we want forever. With people around me they can somehow probably help when I have a stroke or when the voice in my head tells me the shit I see is real and that I should do dumb stuff.
Well, if I continue with the alcohol thing I might make Fenelia very sad so I might stop eventually. The maturity of Melania will probably help and being in an environment where Nat can talk to people without them making fun of her would be healthy for her. We'll help each other while remaining in a safe space, yay ! + Nat better draw some stuff for the group too!!!
Them being the cutest girls in the CYOA is a coincidence in my choice, I chose them for their healing potential of course.

>Ziona wants giants to go and stay go

Haha, what a loser.

Jesus, I lose track of a CYOA for like a few years and it turns into something completely different.

Were't you supposed to turn into a dragon at the end?

>overdrive isn't something you should be doing while intangible
It certainly is since his elemental power is based on strength thanks to having primal power.

You get both Mana and Blood coins from each quest tier.

It's my fault for not being religious or psychotic I guess.

Can't wait until that one is nerfed.

Sauce or post Ameline Olivier please?

Hey SDA, why did you make Ice the tentacle rape school?

It won't be, it'll become a T4 skill and give +3 strength instead of +1.

Seems like a waste of the durability bonus to me. One could also make the assumption that while intangible you have no strength at all and thus your elemental power is.. you know, zero.

One was needed and Ice is a shit element anyways

It is now that it's just for rape.

>thus your elemental power is.. you know, zero.
That would be very funny. Like you turn into your element and you disappear or you're unable to burn/zap/push/freeze people more than a little wee bit. Especially since it's a tier 4 spell.

Even in general. fire a best.

>Seems like a waste of the durability bonus to me.
What durability bonus? Overdrive gives +5 STR & +5 AGI.

>One could also make the assumption that while intangible you have no strength at all and thus your elemental power is.. you know, zero.
>Cataclysm
>Transform into a manifestation of elemental fury, becoming intangible and even altering your surroundings.
The description certainly makes it sound like your elemental power is considerably stronger in cataclysm-mode, and having no elemental power at all when you're literally "a manifestation of elemental fury" would be completely retarded.

Side effects of bad synergies can happen sometimes ! I still agree with you that it'd be shit and should not be interpretated this way even with primal power.

The sex comes later.

I want to rework Frost and Nature a little; I feel like they're the most underpowered schools. They might have some useful spells, but they're overall not that appealing. Trying to come up with spells is hard, but I will likely make some changes.

See

My major complaint is just ice tendrils really. Other than tentacles being out of nowhere, they don't seem very appealing for a t3 spell.

I like ice when you can freeze stuff other than water. Like that general girl from akame ga kill

Holy shit.
First thought, there are way too many waifus. I won't know who to pick.

Uhhhhh... No

I'm making an Acoustic/Lightning rockstar build and only choosing acoustic companions so I can make the greatest music band EVER! Slaying armies and pioneering the lifestyle of 'sex, drugs & rock & roll'.

>ice will be buffed
I anxiously wait for you to finish this!

Here's the image I used.

...

Needs a 'nothing' option for self-medication. I'm not drunk, drugged, religious, and I'm a NEET.

I agree, I'll probably change that spell outright. Got any suggestions? You know me, I'm an open book for feedback.

Throw spell ideas at me, it helps. Doesn't necessarily have to be frost.

good

You'll love my next work, then. At least, I hope so.

I think I'll wait on my "this is what I would pick if cyoa was real" build until you're done buffing ice.
Still, I really want to read this, so, I guess I'm making a fun character instead of myself

Let me bounce off an idea for a CYOA I want to make so you guys can give me feedback and tell me what you think.

In essence, a lovecraftian ascension CYOA where a being of great power and sympathy decides to elevate you beyond your lowly form and into a greater being among the celestial spheres.

Now all of that is pretty standard and I think there are several along those lines which I've seen over the years. What I have in mind for variety is how you choose these powers.

Epithets are a pretty big deal in the lovecraft mythos and there are a few that come close to being cultural icons such as the crawling chaos or the black goat of the woods with a thousand young. So I was thinking that maybe I could build a system around choosing words to fill in your epithet and deriving your powers form and aspects from the length of the epithet and the words you choose to fill it with.

There's also the issue of creating a proper name, but I'm still unsure how that might best work, I want it to feel significant and at the same time flexible so that people can come up with what they feel best suits them.

Thoughts?

Sounds nice.

In that case I'll have to add a few more rivals to the mix, as well as some prophetical support.

Going forth with the strategy of attaining maximal altitude on the back of the dragon, launching up and down onto titans, activating the density etch on the tower shield that is now pointed straight down, casting mass and pound, as momentum reaches ludicrous heights, using flame skates for mid-air movement and at the last possible moment, deflect the force received to double the impact's power on the target.
If a simple strike carries the force to shake mountains under the force of pound, then surely this combination will equal the force of a meteorite, obliterating anything in the vicinity of ground zero. Were something to survive, then the effects of mass and tilt will rend it to a form incapable of life, before the kill is stolen by some of the less magnificent slayers.

Sounds interesting, but possibly very convoluted. How are you thinking of doing it? How many words will there be and will the way you combine them have an effect on their power?

Sounds like an interesting idea. Will be waiting patiently for a (more) finished product.

>lovecraftian
yes
>system around choosing words
yes!

I only have a very general idea of the Lovecraft mythos, but that definitely sounds interesting.

Changelog?

Wait, if you can't hit anything while you are in Cataclysm why does it grant a +3 STR while you are using it? It makes no sense

I only have the very vaguest of ideas at this point in time. But here's what I've thought about so far.

First, you choose the length of your name. Longer names allow for more aspects, but simultaneously weakens each individual aspect according to its length. A name with fifteen words in it might include a great variety of aspects and forms, but simultaneously be weaker in each of its forms. Sort of like a jack of all trades.

So some people might prefer to choose a shorter name, perhaps even a name with just three words in it prefaced by "The" where each of the two words chosen confers incredible power on its owner.

Words would be divided between nouns/adjectives/verbs and articles such as "and" or "the" which connect different titles. You choose your nouns initially and then modify them with adjectives that act on the main power in the noun section. The verbs are sorts of major powers in that they confer greater aspects but require more words to fit into an the epithet and change according to whether they're nominalized or whether they're attached to a nominalizing phrase E.g "The render of souls" vs "The one who rends souls"

I'm probably going to have to read a few grammar books and get a better grip on this since english isn't my first language and there are several technical aspects I want to clarify with this idea.

I'd say because Primal Power would make Cataclysm's damage STR based.

While you can't physically hit anything with your body you can still use elemental magic which, when combined with Primal Power, relies on STR.

Neat. I'm looking forward to it.

Anyone have the pic of Rogue armour?

Don't think I'm a fan of having a narrator like this, sorry.
You did add a neat way for that one whiny guy to quit complaining about being "only" a Third Battlemage
>cyorian battlemages
don't.... just don't. Not for a CYOA that's supposed to be serious. It's too tongue-in-cheek and silly

Okay so basically the Stroc suck but they have wings? The picture and name signal strength but they are far from it. That seems an odd choice.
>Human
>Hunter
Just taking it for the precision honestly.
>Gold: Precision
>Silver: Intellect
>Brown (not Bronze?): Clarity, Agility, Strength
Okay when CYOAs mention stuff like "lift one-and-a-half times their body weight" I get triggered.
SDA, what do you mean when you say "lift"? Do you mean deadlift? Do you mean clean? Do you mean overhead press?
What, exactly, are you lifting? Are you lifting a barbell or a moving animal that tries to get out of your hands?
Because depending on what lift it is you refer to, that can go from pathetic to "sign up for the Olympics".
Using bodyweight multipliers is also a bad thing, since a skinny guy will have a much easier time than a fat guy.
It doesn't make sense to give a numerical stat to Strength. Can you not improve past what you got from your Mark?

>Primarl Etch: Rogue
>Own Etches: Wizard, Soldier, Battlemage
I don't think I understand this system. Can't I use the Etches on other armor? So the Soldier Etch on a wizard's robe?
You say we can apply four etches to the same armor so I really can't figure out what you're going for. Do you mean we get the armor of the Primal Etch (first paragraph), but we can also wear three other armors?

Illnesses
>Schizophrenia
>Depression
I've got both already and have learned to deal with them, so really I only get the good stuff out of this.

Cause
>Genetics

Self-Medication
>Illicit drugs
I don't really need the drugs, but that weird superpower is useful.

Companions
>Electra Lechten
>Cara Gizanis
>Ameline Olivier

First priority is to wean Electra off the drugs with the ability to simulate them, progressing downward in intensity. If she becomes difficult, Ameline can be relied on to help control her. Cara being involved in this process would be good, seeing as her specific difficulties are often eased by being exposed to acts of goodwill and participating in helping others. The power from depression (wew) should help move Ameline's fixation off god and onto me, which is the first half of convincing her that the delusions aren't messages from heaven and they need to be controlled.
