Jumpchain CYOA Thread 2039: Open the Floodgates Edition

Previous thread was How did you even go back that far?

Jumpmakers, do you have a favorite perk and item that you've written?

So convoluted reasoning about how their existence is a byproduct of a rock's daydreaming, and thus they aren't real, or something like that

What do you do when a jump doesn't have any options you like? Stick with it? Don't make a build? Try again later?

Stick with it, spend all my points on the 50 CP Item.

Skip it unless I enjoy the setting.

What prompted this, user?

I thought it was Gérôme?

Skip it. If rolled in random Chain take what I like the most and start filling next jump.

Probably didn’t notice

I had a real problem with this Sonichu. I was looking at it like, "I don't want any of these!"
I ended up taking a bunch of really expensive cross-class perks, like, really intentionally trying to burn through my CP as fast as possible.

It wasn't so much a victory as "the least painful way to lose".

Been trying to make builds but have had quite a few I didn't like. Just wanted to see what other people do.

Oh, am I the other one? I'm pretty sure Annette, SMTAnon and Heavens are into it too. We're there, we're just...low key

The events described in the Catbox jump take place in what could be interpreted as Battler's traumatised mind's attempt to reconcile the events of his family massacre, possibly with the help of The Person Everyone Thinks Is Beatrix's ghost.

In other words? The same as you would anywhere else, you just gotta use REALLY circular logic and emphasise that this SPECIFIC piece of magic can't possibly true because lo, you were in the magic-proof shelter at the time of the casting! Physically there? Well, who's to say you can't assert three points of symmetry under the moon goddess to prove you performed the specific counterspell you needed? Oh, you're bleeding out and turning into a frog? Well, nobody can prove you aren't a hologram! You won first place at the Hologram Camp last year!

You just gotta keep bullshitting without actually telling a lie. Hell, Doom's actually done something similar in Marvel: He started bragging in the middle of a magic duel with Loki about how his legacy makes him immortal, and it actually gave him enough of a buff to win.

Just pick what I least don't like, take drawbacks if they make things more interesting and try to roll with it.

There's only been one jump I've disliked enough to actually not buy anything, and out of character that's just because of my personal investment in trying to critique it beforehand. In character, it's because the Benefactor had the Cosmic Flu on the decade.

>There's only been one jump
Which one bitch

Is the Cosmic Flu more or less deadly than the Japanese Flu? And can it be cured by having your crush come to your house to bring you soup?

For perks, I absolutely love how "Not Amazing, Kind" turned out, and the "Cuffs" for items, both from Keitai Sousakan 7 since my only other completed jump is a gauntlet and it would be super cheap to name something from any jumps I haven't finished and shown the thread yet.

The former because it was the very first purchase I thought of when I was making the jump, and the ladder because it ended up as a far more useful item then I expected, despite just throwing them in at the last second.

Favorite perk would probably be It's So Fluffy! from dog days. Item would maybe be the Lailalo from Birdy

Why, it's none other than the prototype to all Japanese colds across all of fiction! It's the metafictional construct of sickness as a narrative device: Everything from the measles in a toddler's picture book, to the Red Death that invaded Prospero's domain. Recently, as the population of masked strangers have declined in new stories it's started to form a symbiotic relationship with trucks to prey on isekai protagonists.

It will also probably never be relevant in my chain.

...probably.

Vampire Diaries, 'nuff said.

So it's basically a real version of "No, I have a forcefield!" as long as the other party belives it?

I'm working (or at least trying to work) on a Veeky Forums jump, but I've run into a bit of a design conundrum. Basically, sourcebooks and all that often offer a bunch of perk-like traits in the form of "merits", "advantages", etc. How much should your jump focus on such things? On one hand, it feels wrong to just skip over them entirely, on the other it just feels lazy to have a whole jump filled with non-original stuff you just changed a few words around in. Is it better to go all in, and just expand the number of perklines, or focus primarily intended these features? Or what?

How is Needless going ?

Not him but from what Ive been told it's a mix of that, and actually being able to say it with conviction

No, user. None of this is real. I'd suggest talking to your therapist.

>Favorite Perk
I'd have to go with Disney Magic in Zootopia. But that's because I'm a sucker for any kind of Perk that allows you to help people grow in general. Being able to write one into a setting where it fits was just icing on the cupcake.

>Favorite Item
This one is harder. I write a lot of Items that turn out to be pretty neat even though I normally have a problem thinking them up at the time. But if I had to narrow it down to a category, I'd say the various properties I've written into my Jumps. If I actually Jumped my own Jumps in a row, I'd end up dragging a strip mall of various stores around after me, and that amuses my brain.

Unless I'm really attached to the world, I'll usually skip it and find something else to Jump. Or I'll find some other Jump to combine with it if I really want one or two options. Minecraft is getting fused to Factorio at some point because I really want Thaumcraft, but nothing else.

Which property are you working on?

As for your question, nobody is going to get pissed off at you adding more options, but you might consider which advantages could be folded together into one larger perk. Like, take for example in Dungeons and Dragons. There's a whole tech tree of feats relating to Two-Weapon Fighting (Dual Wielding), which help turn a warrior into a Dervish of sorts. Instead of listing out each and every feat and forcing people to buy the whole tree individually, you could lump them together under a higher price point and fluff it up a bit. So instead of buying (6) 100 CP Perks, you buy one 400 CP "package" for Two-Weapon Fighting, but it includes all the benefits.

I hope that makes sense.

The IS thing was shit. Thinking of redoing it less obnoxious.
Meanwhile my lack of social life made me write words.

Working on it right now actually. I feel like shit over how long this is taking, but in between classes, the most I've been able to get done in a single day is a single perkline, if that. For what it's worth, the skeleton has been complete for a while, and I have 3 more perklines to go before I can move on to other stuff like items, companions, drawbacks, etc. which should hopefully take much less time. After that's all done and I've had some time to slim everything down some more, then I'll feel confident posting it in the thread for input.

Also, despite what I've said before, I'd still like to try adding in scenarios, but I decided that I would wait until everything else was complete before trying my hand at those. so even if the version I'll have out soon-ish will be in jumpable condition, it may take some time before I have those ready.

Sorry, progress is still slow, but it's definitely coming along.

I've always been disappointed that the New Gods are just a bunch of big guys that Superman has to actually try a little to pummel, and who own weird technology, not...you know, actual gods. Except for Darkseid.

Try first to complete jump and then think and maybe make scenarios. I would like to have jump earlier and wait for a little more for scenarios than wait longer for jump+scenarios.

Actually I probably should. Depending on the next arc. This thing was actually longer.

Nobilis being overpowered was never the reason for it not being made into a jump. The reason is that as a narrative-heavy abstract RPG where you purchase character traits with a resource called "CP", it's pretty much impossible to make a jump without just making a photocopy of the core book.

What's even your beef against nevereding walls of text? Would you rather have shitposting, or polls?

How dangerous is Creepypasta, as a First Jump, as a Cryptid, with the Weirdness Magnet drawback?

Not that user, but why does it have to just offer character traits? We have jumps of things like Exalted and JRPGs that give substantial offerings without limiting themselves to the character creation process, why is Nobilis any different? Surely if it's as "narrative-driven" as you say, there's other worthwhile things to include that aren't just making your character. Just because the points in the book are called CP doesn't mean you have to follow that in your jump.

Jesus fucking christ dude. This was amazing writing, but dark as fuck.

And once again, we get twelve posts of some asshole being cruel to others because he justifies his incredible inherent advantages as making him morally better than the other people with incredible inherent advantages. Yawn. If I wanted self-indulgent fanfics about how the super-technology self-insert protagonist is so much better than everyone else, I'd go to Spacebattles or Sufficient Velocity and read a Commander fic. God, I hate Commander fics. Planetary Annihilation doesn't even have a unit capture feature, you fucks! Commanders can't scan and reverse-engineer new technology, let alone improve on it. You didn't even bother to play the game, did you?

I would rather none. But it's easier to scroll past the latter

DEpends the cryptid skills i guess.

You could be always movingand only deal with a few chance encounters.

That droawback as a Cryptid may set you with hunters, cults summoning you, or other cryptids trying to eat you

Then maybe I should rephrase that: What do you actually want to see in the threads? At the moment, it seems like you're saying you want them to be empty of everything but memes, jumper questions and random topics.

/jc/, exactly how flustered is the world going to be after my companions televised my fight with Dante in the DMC jump, and it wound up becoming a shirtless wrestling match.

On a sidenote, do not let Dante grab you in a throw. That fucking brainbuster hurt.

Creepypasta is even more variable than SCP Foundation, it's as potentially dangerous as you want it to be, but there are also entire societies of mundane humans who go largely unmolested. A lot of it is street-level, though.

Question about Lifemaker. Do they have an actual personality or are they just insane due to the Resonance thing?

Wasn't someone working on a jump for Zombie Knight?

>justifies

...would you prefer to read a story about a cruel asshole who DOESN'T justify his incredible inherent advantages? Sincere question here.

>self-indulgent fanfics about how the super-technology self-insert protagonist is so much better tha everyone else

I don't know if you've noticed how popular SupCom is, but Jumpchain may not be the right experience for you.

>Commander fics

What are those?

Yeah, that was pretty much the plan. Getting everything else done takes priority. I decided not to even think about the scenarios until the rest of the jump is on the drive. That seemed like the safest bet to me.

Checked

Also who gives a shit have you seen antispiral user? Powerwank is the point of this and fucking with the setting is the only interesting story after everyone becomes god.

Secondedonthe shitty commander fanfics. what the shit is the obsession?

They have a personality, since they're in control of Negi and talk through him a lot, but they're pretty not nice.

I never said all stories should be gone user, what I said is that I don't like never ending walls of text.

Pretty damned flustered if he showed his demon heritage at any point.

They haven't shown up a lot from what I gather, but the evidence seems to lean towards "yes, but it's heavily tilted towards dealing with that Resonance thin"

Actually, no. The narrative is a fundamental part of the mechanics, is what I mean by "narrative-driven". There is no part of the experience of being a character in Nobilis that isn't going to wind up on your character sheet. It's a weird game. Jenna Moran is super into overly-complicated mechanics that weave narrative and personal identity together.

That's the thing, I don't see problems with walls of text. Just scroll past them, you can't be so lazy you can't be bothered to hit the spacebar a few times.

Not him, but are you telling me every game of Nobilis is like those Multiversity comics were Grant Morrison turns the apathy of comic book readers into big dumb doomsday monsters?

>What are those?
Random guy SI's into the body of an arbitrarly advanced machine capable of self-replication via nanites. 99% are powerwank and technobabble about going to several settings and copying and combining tech and pondering how overpowered they are.

When in doubt Blame the Eldar is maybe the only decent one

I asked how it is going because you didn't say anything for few days, and I really can't wait for it.

Well, I'd prefer not to read your writing at all since you're not nearly as clever as you think you are. But if this was a better writer, then yes. I think that sort of honesty would improve it, if the protagonist was acknowledging that no, he's not better than the superhumans because he puts in hard work to make technology, he's better because a godlike extradimensional being gave him tons of advantages.

>I don't know if you've noticed how popular SupCom is, but Jumpchain may not be the right experience for you.
I'm fine with tech-focused builds. Those are cool, technology is awesome. It's the arrogance that annoys me.

>What are those?
This shitty type of self-insert fic where it's basically Jumpchain, but the person is a Commander from the game Planetary Annihilation, which is a sort of spiritual successor to Total Annihilation (and therefore a cousin to Supreme Commander). It involves them going from universe to universe, stealing tech and then effortlessly integrating it into their systems and upgrading it to insane power. Which, as I said, is not a thing that Planetary Annihilation Commanders can do, I'd probably be more okay with them if it wasn't tied to that specific franchise. Anyways, there's this real undercurrent of arrogance in all of them, this asshole handily defeating every threat and then talking down to all the people in the universes he goes to for having trouble dealing with their problems because they had to foolishness to not be post-scarcity super-gods that can casually violate the laws of physics.

While I enjoy the stories, please use pastebin, if only to stop Anons from complaining.

I'm not even the writer, man. I do however write a cruel dick Jumper myself, so you singling out the justification thing caught my attention because speaking about my own I honestly don't think it would make him any less objectively awful.

The arrogance seems in character for anyone who isn't like, a hardcore pacifist or a Buddhist monk or an inhuman cosmic horror at least. But I bow to your superior knowledge of self insert fics.

I kinda want to try my hand at writefagging at one point, but I'm not sure how well that would turn out... I've not got the greatest track record with writing stuff (I think 9k words is the most I ever managed for a story). Writefaggers, how do you write out your adventure? Do you plan out the events? Or let them come to you as your write? (I could genuinely use some writing tips)

Yeah, sorry. I didn't have anything to report, so I've been staying user for the last couple weeks or so.

I don't have many hobbies, so even if I don't have my name on, chances are I'll be around if you have anything you'd like to ask about it, as long as I'm not in class at that moment.

I improvise and have fun with it, and tend to be spontaneous unless I have some idea of a character arc lined up. I also regularly wing the rules if I think it makes a better story in some places.

Do what seems fun for you.

Sort of. It's more that the narrative role and interactions of a character are part of their stats. Like, your history is a resource that you can use. You don't just have a backstory for your character, you have a pool of points that you can spend to invoke things about that backstory for tangible benefit. Your relationships are stats. Your aspirations are stats. Your items and home and family are stats. Your ability to not be affected by narrative logic, in a game about narrative, is a stat. It's weird. I love them, but Jenna Moran's game are just bizarre. At least she owns this, though. Like, he intentionally made a game that was as confusing as possible and titled it "Wisher, Theurge, Fatalist", or WTF. The expansion is That Linguidly Dreamed Raif, or TLDR. So she can poke fun at herself, that's nice.

Huh. I haven't even looked at the Nobilis sourcebook, and every time I learn something new about it the thing sounds even weirder than I imagined. I'm guessing a Noble of History would be almost as broken as a Noble of Flowers?

This ended up being shorter than I thought and it looks like we're posting writefags right now, so I'll finish this one up.

You’ll cease to age past the point of physical maturity and you’ve gained an impressive level of physical regeneration. You can heal most wounds in a few short minutes, even recovering lost limbs after a short rest break. You cannot heal while something is embedded in you, so make sure to un-impale yourself first. Since it takes a few minutes, this does mean you can be left disabled for some time if sufficiently damaged and enough damage to you can end your life, such as by having your head get crushed or losing all your organs in one go.

Well, every writer has to find a method and style that works for them. For me, I like to plan broad strokes for a specific Jump, but then see where the story takes me. Sometimes I'll surprise myself by getting into the swing of things and going wildly off track. Like when I was writing Candyland Fallen. Finn was supposed to play a massive part in that Jump. He was supposed to be recruited, trained, made into a giant hero with the help of Jumper. But instead I dove into Marceline's character without even realizing I was doing it. That whole scene with Jumper and her under Yggdrasil? Completely unplanned and slapped down in a single writing frenzy.

But I'm rambling a little, so let me give you a few simple, clear pieces of writing advice.
>Do it every day. Even if you suck at it.
>Don't look back on past works and look only at your failures. Make sure you take time to see what you did right as well. What you learned.
>DO IT EVERY DAY! Even a little bit. A page, a paragraph, whatever.
>Plan an ending, but don't be afraid to change it if the journey towards it takes a left turn.
>If you run out of inspiration, move to a different scene. Sometimes your brain is telling you a scene has gone on long enough.
>Reread what you wrote the day before when you're going to start writing again. It helps you keep the same tone throughout the whole document or know when to shift it entirely.
>DO IT EVERY DAY!

What's the latest version of the Teen Titans jump? 1.3?

>Avatar is then sliced repeatedly by a reluctant Okita with her Noble Phantasm.
OH GOD THIS HURTS
>"Can I stop now?!"
NO IT'S GETTING FASTER I CAN FEEL IT
>"You're really scaring me, Master...!"
>Avatar is exploded repeatedly via pressure points by Toki
>Toki looks incredibly unamused.
OKAY FORD JUST LIKE WE PRACTICED!
>"This is incredibly unethical."

>"-Sigh-."
>Avatar is promptly tossed into a black hole by a planet-sized generator, pulled screaming into the field.
>They get their limbs blasted off repeatedly by a laser.
>"Are you enjoying this."
Actually, I just turned off my ability to feel pain! Odds are I'm in incredibly amounts of agony right now!

>"You're just as empty as I am. Vengeful. Automatic."
>"Does it hurt you? Is this burden too heavy for you? Is the pain too much?"

Stone x Lifemaker OTP? I would have detailed the fight but we know how that song and dance goes...unless you guys want it?

The one on the drive, I think.

Some people just throw a fit when you diverge from the acepted jumper archetypes

Research Hermit that is a hikkikomori all the jump
Fairy Godmother that goes to make every main characters lives perfect
Fixit that effortlessly solves the entire plot beofre it even starts
Random omnipotent guy that has wholesome laughs while going along the plot...

Make an actual character and boom "you pretentious asshole"

I swear you already did UQ Holder.

Should I count The Bastion as a Ship, or as a Property?

How did you get around the Grimms' powerscaling in the RWBY jump? Or was that cancelled at some point?
