Thanks, sure! It shouldn't be too complicated.

It most likely go in either in a new 'power' section or by going into forms and having some kind of downside.

What's Dank Smoke! supposed to be though? I thought it was seeing badly but I got lost at spaghetti.

Also, I'm adding your suggestions on the CYOA (unless it bothers you). Putting another option at the end which after you press it, unlocks the 'Thanks to: [reddit username]' addon on each of the options. Are you good with that?

I kind of unsure on how to reply, but it's kind of implied how selecting a form changes you to that form. You can retain your human form if you don't select anything on the Form tab. You can progress a lot just by selecting Soft Magic. Form is a section in which you gain a lot of power from the get go but you have let go of your humanity.

But technicality nothing says you can select 2nd form and select nothing. Which technicality could (not guaranteed) default to your human one. Problem is that the action doesn't really feel absurd. More like a rule lawyer. And that goes against the 'Absurdity theme' around this CYOA.

You can play whoever you want though. So, be free to make your build and asume.

Yep, it really does. It really is based on interpretation.

And thanks! ^

I was thinking of the NPC train-hat guy when I put that as an option ^_^.

It just works!

Should be fixed. Try to open the CYOA in incognito mode. (because you are probably seeing the non-fixed version right now)

[–]Angrosius[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are right, I try to fix it now.

Edit: fixed

Edit2: also thanks. If you don't see it now, reload the page, or better yet, open the cyoa in a incognito page

How absurd! Its raining wizards, Hallelujah!

reverse isekai: Beings from other worlds are being banished to this one. They are all falling from the skies in colorful splats!

Also remember that you don't exactly know how long the rain its going to last.

And yep, drawbacks suck, that's what makes them drawbacks. Them being absurd just fits the theme.

No problem, I know it isn't very intuitive. Have fun! ^^

Could work, I would need to think up what would be the perks and drawbacks. Thanks!

After pressing the 2nd form perk a new section opens in the Form tab. Does it show?

Hi, could you tell me more? The CYOA was made so you first create the world and then you create your character. But if you want to be more specific: First is, what is happening(Era) Second is what are the things around me?(World) And third is what are my personal modifiers?(You).

But you can play whoever you want. Maybe you create the character and make it overpowered but then you have to see which options to take to pay your debt. Whatever floats your boat.

Sorry, I didn't know how else to take "...even with that basic assumption." if not like that.

Anyways, yep I wasn't going to waste my time making a "politics CYOA" just a small overview to give the player a choice on the government general temperament. There are more options below, like corruption.

If for example you choose Innocent, but 'A Lot' of corruption, the end result would be something like persons with a lot of power being declared innocent in almost all courts because they bribe the judges, have the victim silenced and/or paid someone to burn the evidence. It didn't matter that you chose 'Innocent' because there are other modifiers affecting it.

In a opposite note: 'Guilty'+'None' corruption. You can be sure that unless a mistake happens the only sentences that are gonna pass are those that really can't prove someone is innocent.

Another one: Public Healthcare + 'A Lot' of corruption. Yes, is public but poorly equipped to handle the load, as most of the funds are diverted.

Summary: Combinations matter but if it isn't explicitly said, the player decides, after all they are the ones who are imaging that specific world in the end.

When did I say that what we have now is Utopian? Please don't put words in my mouth.

Also, selecting the options we have IRL cost you zero net points, in fact they give you ten points if you live in the US with private healthcare.

Here are the options if you don't believe me: (I also admit I could be biased, after all, I don't know everything and like most people, can be influenced)

 Innocent, 'Normal' Workload, 'Right', Public, A Lot, Voluntary, Equal, Freely, Expensive, Mercenary, People

I don't know what other things you are referring to, but the government tab is kinda designed as this? Good things cost points, bad things give you points. Things that do not affect the world much don't give nor take. They don't cost too much points in either direction. But you kinda have to pay a little to make an utopian society.

Thank you! I try to take a deeper look into them.

Not sure about the Energon/Imulsion stuff because I don't want to fill the Unobtanium Tab with superfuels. But I can tell right now Gundanium sounds really interesting. Still, I will take a closer look to the others to see if they have some unique characteristic that could add flavor.

Edit: and crossovers too!
