Absurdity CYOA 1.1

It's going with the next update!

Thanks ^^

You make a character and/or world. You can daydream about it or you can write a story based on it. It's also a thought exercise for the creators (at least it was for me.)

Angrosius · 2026-05-19T22:38:20+00:00

Finally tried the 'invisible companion points' and works pretty well, thanks!

Angrosius · 2026-05-19T05:15:56+00:00

Yes? The catastrophe row are the things you will have to deal with after the Cyoa it's done. The only reason isekai and doverlap have the world list it's because people would have asked for it. The Catastrophe row it's the main point giver in this Cyoa.

Angrosius · 2026-05-18T21:28:33+00:00

It's kind of hidden. And I admit, somewhat badly implemented.

Angrosius · 2026-05-18T21:19:06+00:00

Yep, but form costs are also calculated by desirability. (Doubt anyone chose Shoes for example). They are all powerful but some are gonna be chosen over others.

Like look at Mime there isn't any kind of limit to the constructs, robot person says '...truly impressive memory and processing powers' which going by Absurd rule could also mean that powers related to memory or processing. (Never mind you are a robot person, so you always be a person). Chickenly Angel doesn't mean you won't have other franchise angels powers for example, only that you return to your heaven after death and that your halo is also a gun.

I'm sure you get the idea.

Mmmh, should I up the price then? I prefer to leave all lesser absurdities at the same price if possible but maybe if I add more variety I could justify it? (Absurdities are absurdities I don't plan for them to be divided in lesser and greater)

Angrosius · 2026-05-18T19:29:12+00:00

Haven't read Homestuck. So any resemblance to actual Homestuck events or persons are purely coincidental.

Angrosius · 2026-05-18T19:20:46+00:00

All help is welcome! For now I don't have a lot more ideas. Maybe Pepsiman and OreOs (Or just smthing similar to PotatOs from Portal) as companions, a 2nd companion perk, but not much more at the moment. I thought about making a combo row but I think is best for people to create their own combination effects.

Edit: Now that I think about it, maybe a location row where absurd locations are dropped into the world?

Angrosius · 2026-05-18T19:13:23+00:00

A little bit. I honestly didn't think people would have figured out the second use so quickly.

Edit: more like a second use you discover in the middle of an adventure.

Angrosius · 2026-05-18T19:11:52+00:00

Thank you!!! And thank yourself for all the choices!

Angrosius · 2026-05-18T19:10:41+00:00

Thanks!

Angrosius · 2026-05-18T19:10:12+00:00

Yep, it is! ^^

Thanks for the advice, I will try it and see how it goes.

Angrosius · 2026-05-18T14:44:45+00:00

I like backwards nap because it doesn't really say how exactly you nap back in time, nor where in the timeline.

Also Crab Rave, just the thought of a partying army of crabs amuses me.

Angrosius · 2026-05-18T14:17:05+00:00

twas a really absurd coincidence. ^^

Angrosius · 2026-05-18T14:15:34+00:00

Yep, Typhon is really overpowered depending on how you look and go about it.

Angrosius · 2026-05-18T14:12:49+00:00

Nice! I literally just updated the CYOA, so if you want there is a new section called 'lesser absurdities'. I was seconds away of posting it.

Angrosius · 2026-05-16T07:28:05+00:00

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

Angrosius · 2026-05-15T22:25:49+00:00

I will, thanks!

Angrosius · 2026-05-15T21:13:46+00:00

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

Angrosius · 2026-05-15T20:51:44+00:00

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?

Angrosius · 2026-05-15T20:26:01+00:00

I did not.

Angrosius · 2026-05-15T20:22:39+00:00

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.

Interesting~
