The majority of my Empire's strength will be invested in it's airships. A common strategy of our navy is to drop explosives down upon the ranks of the opposition from high above, while the ranks of the honoured dead keep the enemy engaged.

I hope I'll be able to mind control the head of the raiders, but failing that I should be able to handle a duel. Most of my time is spent rooting out the cult and the Fallen Empress with targeted divination and domination. I supplement my cohort with powerful undead and guards devoted enough to be willing to under go transformation into bears

there really needs to be a merfolk race option in that one

i like your build. seems strong but the lack of races bores me.

anyway ill give it a try. gimme a sec to build one

It was tempting to go with kobolds or insectoids as well. I'm a boring one in that I enjoy fantasy worlds full of humans instead of orcs/elves etc.

Don't apologize for having patrician tastes.

Should have named it cyoag. It's way faster to find with Ctrl + f [cyoag], since you don't get the jumpchain or towergirls edition.

How are those threads still always going? There's no new OC, right?

...

>jumpchain
Is that really still go on...

...

...

There's OC on average every couple of days, and there's still discussion of old stuff and inspiration for WiPs and ideas.

Living cities that are almost entirely intune with nature, you wouldn't know if you stumbled into one unless you were invited- or an invader. Trees sprawl like skyscrapers, dominating the landscape, ample fruit growing from each one. The only true indicators of civilization being the occasional piece of infrastructure, small shop, or industrial area (these "industrial" areas being little more than cottages with supplies within). The races that dwell within these cities are entirely inconspicuous, Dryads keep to themselves amongst the trees, serving as a vanguard against any potential invaders. Whilst insectoids, the dominant presence in most cities, toil in service to their queen, doing any tasks that may be necessary for the survival of the city. Kobold traders occasionally visit from the mountains, bringing ores, technology, and alchemical creations from their own hidden settlements. It's a peaceful, simple existence, corruption is rare and swiftly dealt with- as are invaders. Nature itself seems to turn on them as they attempt to conquer any of these settlements, roots entagling, vines whipping, the very roads attempting to bury them alive. All the while, swarms of battle ready insectoids viciously attack them akin to a plague of locusts, as Dryads cast bombard them with arrows and incantations from above. Kobolds involved in these conflicts commonly act as healers, spies, and madmen- rarely running into battle with explosive brews primed to explode on a moments notice.
Simply put, life is simple for the inhabitants of these cities- while life is hell for those who stand to conquer them.

...Holy shit I made forest hippies without touching elves.

Is Highlander going to post True Traveller information update?

user, aren't you going to post it?

They must have picked the immortal trait.

Go to the blog.

It's not there.

Our cities are essentially built on/in various creatures. Ents usually, sometimes giant tortoises and such. As they grow, so too do our cities. The land itself provides for us with food, metals, and the sky heals us.

Simply barbaric. Those savages can't even try to be civil. Oh, well. I guess I'll just have to "convince" some of them to fight amongst each other.

About what?

Yeah I know.

not disclosing that

I've considered doing a rapture rewrite so that it's a place you'd actually send your kids to, just with horrible shit happening quietly. But then I sort of wonder what the point would be.

I see so your waifu is shit, that what happen huh.

Well there's no point to anything, we do what we feel like.

>whats the point
That sounds like something someone depressed would say.
Are you depressed?
You know what we do to things that are de pressed?
We re press those thoughts. Now go do things for the hell of it.

Alright here it is.

...

...

...

...

A comfydark inter dimensional boarding school sounds like it could be really good.
Instead of doing a re write it would be better to create a complacently different setting, since the lewd is basically the only reason people play that cyoa.

How about you make it even lewder instead.

Can you only give yourself the D? Vagina is such a chore, but everything else about females would be advantageous and desirable.

So how many pages is this?

thirty

That is a lot of text

Would you mind giving me a quick rundown on the quality of this cyoa?

3/10

Maybe post a .pdf next time?

It's interesting

Magic part is cool

maybe you can suck my dick

...

...

...

Who touched you, user?

good novel

Isn't it? I feel like Traveller is the closest to the original old 'cyoa novels'. Good stuff.

When did CYOAs become so narrative based instead of the classic pick A, B, or C? Will we ever see a CYOA video game/novel/animation/movie?

...

...

...

...

...

Ditto, I would love a school cyoa with a bit more edge but still be a place you would want to go. Scholomance was not bad but was a little limited imo.

Okay so whats the best transfusion and why?
Remembering that travelers have a whole multiverse of growth opportunities (for example a mechanical can get Necron stuff from the WH40K universe).

A small island nation, it will rely on its minerals and important trade position, it will defend its sovereignty through airships, advanced weaponry, and turning the seas themselves against its foes.

Independent from other nations, it will become a trade and banking hub, hoisting the most prestigious university known to any race.

Here's what you do:
>Eat a god spore
>Eat a bilhit (?) fragment
>Spiritual Transfusion
Congratulations, you're now a god in truth.

Alien Matchmaker, anyone?

The Berserk transformation (Behlit) sounds mutually exclusive with anything else.

"Not a god, but human. Flawed, but very powerful. That which was tainted
by man may never be shaken off"

I don't know what the god spore is from or even what it is supposed to do.
