I hate this CYOA so much.

Why can't anyone make a good modern CYOA without it coming across as smug and inch-deep as this?

Hey I made a generic waifu CYOA, so get ready for me to interject myself and my namefagging into irrelevant things so that I can establish a presence here and get (you)s because I have no one to talk to in real life and no skills or hobbies and I need something to consume the rest of my mediocre life

Does anyone have any news for that Hivemind Companion CYOA that was linked as a googledoc a while ago?

Lets do our best to be nice to each other in this thread!

I'm still tinkering with a days old build. This CYOA really scratches my itch.

This one? docs.google.com/document/d/1Gua0AnQE918gufgRjcXVkQl7XYeqe3XKOcVD5tzHUpY/edit

Post it.

...

Yeah. I find it cute that a hivemind can be interested in you for multiple reasons that can be supplied in the cyoa.

Could someone point me into the direction of a comfy kingdom cyoa that does NOT involve pocket worlds? No battles for succession, no imminent wars, no hereditary concerns, no political intrigue, no mad lieges, etc. Just comfy, idyllic kingdoms surrounded by other comfy, idyllic kingdoms without the introversion and loneliness associated with private pocket dimensions.

The closest I can think of is Dream Prince. It implies you can visit neighboring dream realms, but that still smacks of poket domensions.

sounds boring af

write it

Magical Realm can achieve this with enough effort. My first build was a comfy continent of magitech kingdoms that have long since forsaken war yet still retain a friendly rivalry.

Plotting her next evil plan to destroy /cyoag/, once and for all.

They asked for a spooky/comfy non-supernatural CYOA. I delivered. Neck yourself.

Oh I'm sorry user, I'll make sure never to dislike something you like again.

Older versions of this were much better in terms of balance, there are just so many options that are completely worthless to select now

...

...

Quit being a faggot. Go and make a "good modern CYOA" if this one doesn't cut it for you..

>m-make one yourself!
Yeah, no, that doesn't cut it for me.

Sounds like a personal problem.

These shit CYOAs are a problem, yes.

>Marksman: Archery
Big game hunter style, and what better to hunt than dragons.

>First Aid
>Mercantile

>Port Katar

>Raskar Cairn
>Blackest Night Crystal

Raskar can track our prey and Blackest can slow it down for me to get the killshot. My accurate shots should make up for Raskars need to use parts for totems so we should break even moneywise, but we should be pretty safe and save on healing and repairs.

Blackest Night Crystal can absolutely give me a chuuni name

>Millicent Silverdrake
>Tanya Sunaster
>Jameson Greaves

Millicent is hot, and should pay well for the mostly intact amount of dragon parts we bring in, plenty of scales and wings and stuff for her to use; will have to make a point of hunting ones she can use well. Tanya is just nice, and I love being matchmakered for (and BNC and Millicent would both be good waifus) and Jameson can act as a fourth man in the field who pays us for the privilege; hopefully he won't get us into too much trouble.

Wait, what are the limits on the arcane sphere? I know it says just physical effects, but wouldn't time manipulation count as physical?

...

Scifi kinda has shitty options, in all of the sections. Worst wives too. The daughters for it don't even make senese, the wives are a robot, a cat, a moth, and a rabbit, but the daughters are only a cat and a rabbit. What gives? It's impossible for you to produce the cat daughter with 3/4 of the wives and the robot one makes zero sense with 3/4 of them. The rabbit and moth straight up don't get an option in this section. I started on a build for this but I can't even finish it because the events all mention a daughter and I was stubbornly insisting on a scifi build despite it being the worst, yet the only two girls I can remotely tolerate at all don't get a daughter option.

...

...

The Arcane sphere can do weaker versions of the other spheres' powers (IIRC, one RPG playtest had an Arcanist throw a brick at the same level a T&T crushed a car), and has miscellaneous unique powers like summoning and magic lasers.

But Geo > all anyway, so it's kind of a moot point.

;_; every time

Isn't CYOA just a shittier version of quests? What sort of people even likes this shit? What's the appeal? And why don't you just fuck of to /qst/?

Because this is a general for choosing your own Veeky Forums related adventures. This is perfectly allowed on here, now go away Mr Idon'tgettheappealofsomethingsoitshouldgo.

What about this one, then?

Significantly superior.

steamcommunity.com/groups/SotAT
It's a kludged together GURPS hack that I'm pretty sure is dead.

On the off chance that you aren't entirely shitposting:
>Isn't CYOA just a shittier version of quests?
There's a number of differences, with CYOAs being self-contained (and no necessary author involvement), user-focused (with many paths, fleshed out by the reader's imagination), general compactness (Many are a single image file, as opposed to quests that can only be saved in their original multi-thread form), and more.
>What sort of people even likes this shit?
People who like choosing their own adventure.
>What's the appeal?
Previously defined settings for you to imagine your own adventures in (or ruthlessly optimize; depends on the CYOA) without having to limit yourself to a single plotline.
>And why don't you just fuck of to /qst/?
Because we aren't quests.

Has anyone actually done a build of this in the last few threads its been posted? I have no desire to... and its 6 pages and never posted in pdf form... I kinda just wanna say quit spamming.
I could be wrong tho.

>whining about someone whining about you whining about a cyoa

>i came here to whine about things

Bunch of sensitive pansies in this thread.

>And why don't you just fuck of to /qst/?
L I T E R A L L Y just to make (You) mad, kid.

>whining about [&c.]
what a pansy

No whining here, sir.
Just mocking those who do.
This place was always shit, and always will be shit, so why bother to try and make it better?

>Attempts to improve are futile
Kek

>never posted in pdf form
CYOAs that weren't made as PDFs from the get-go would generally require rebuilding them as PDFs in the appropriate application, as simple images-to-PDF conversion would (from what I understand) be either too large to post, or too compressed to read.

It's just Tok reposting his shit. He did the same thing with Nemesis. It's almost like he doesn't realize his only strength is fap-bait power-fantasies and that The End was only good for a slight giggle

Prove me wrong, user.

2 points left but whatever, I enjoy the comfy life

Getting paid to poop. I'd literally get paid for shit.
Hopefully It'll give me some pocket change.

>I'm standing here with my mouth wide open!
>why aren't any roast ducks flying in!?

>what the fuck chef, this duck is rotten!
>"lol cook some yourself then"

That's a kind of shitty comparison, since it implies you paid for these cyoas. Which you didn't.
It's more like:
>This painting sucks ass
>'make your own paintings then'

...

>sitting down at a free buffet
>complaining when you're served balut.

No, really. Be the change you want to see, and if you admit you're too shitty for that, pay for the change you want to see.

Nigger if I sit down to a free buffet and encounter rotten duck, I'm gonna complain even if it's free.
>This painting sucks ass
>"lol make your own painting then"
Doesn't matter what you bluster with, it still sucks ass.

Balut is a delicacy you uncultured swine, you'd best be thankful if you're getting that shit for free.

That's not how buffets work.

t. morbidly obese burgerclap

I hate eggs.

...

They do if whoever you went with brings a plate to your seat while you're in the bathroom.

Too bad. You have to eat all of them. Maybe you should've went to McDonalds instead.

McDonalds breakfasts are a travesty of justice. Everything has eggs on them. Disgusting, tubular, solidified eggs.

>McDonalds breakfasts are a travesty of justice.

Well you're right about that at least.

I just want my fucking cheeseburger.

>I want to be both a beggar AND a chooser!
>Do you know how important my greatly over-estimated self-worth tells me I am?!

They don't serve them until noon, I think.

Or maybe I just want to shit on things that deserve to be shat on.

That can't be right. Gotta be earlier.

...

Maybe an hour. I tried getting a burger around 10am once, they told me they were still serving breakfast. Seemed a bit late for that to me.

>t. spoiled brat who should have been beat harder

...

Go and make your own then. I'm sure some hamplanet will accept you.
