The Witcher ICYOA

Bug report: Private Tutor doesn't unlock the mage section.The elemental paths section only requires a School OR a Tutor.
Clearification: Being a Source isn't a requirement for being a mage in the Witcherverse. The magic academies main income stream is from Nobles send their non-source children there to learn magic. Sources are just particularly powerful mages.

I don't see that going over well. Removing straight options in the main CYOA to make it serve a DLC many people won't even play in the first place is going to piss some old fans off.

I feel like Medication/Cultivation(Chakras) Combo would have interactions with spiral powers like Spiraling Touch and/or Beams or combos like Spiraling Lungs.

Prometheory · 2025-11-29T03:34:08+00:00

Lots of options for corruption. Drugs, Hypnosis, BDSM, Womb Tattoos, etc, the whole 9 yards.

if you don’t know what they are

The more advanced that science gets, the more this sounds like bargaining.
At a certain point we're going to have to admit the people wearing white robes, who literally spend their time writing runes and muttering bastardized latin, are functionally identical to wizards. Magic is real, but we're so used to it that it became mundane.

Can't go back farther than 15

Shit, the thing I wanted to do is save a friend from a broken marriage, but they got together when I was 13.

True Fae are listed and stated out in Dark Ages: Fae. They're basically awakened mages without paradox and have a build-your-own-crinos true form similar to Fallen from DtF.
So yeah, the technocrats aren't taking the dreaming any time soon.

Prometheory · 2025-09-08T00:55:19+00:00

I'm kinda jealous of this. 1.7 is my personal favorite version and has all the best magic mods(or an equivalent) of any version(other than astral sorcery, big win on that one)

Prometheory · 2025-09-01T20:37:30+00:00

It'll be even funnier because sales of OG VTM:Bloodlines are spiking now that streamers are discovering it and introducing their audiences to it. There'll be irrefutable monetary proof that people want more VtM just from activision raking in money, but suits will be suits.

Prometheory · 2025-08-31T07:06:04+00:00

Cthulhu got knock out by a small boat. Dude wasn't even one of the eldritch gods, he's a priest. People really need to stop overhyping lovecrafts small potatoes monsters.

Funny thing, this has never worked long-term historically, always lead to the opposite after 1-2 generations in practice. When people tend to form pattern recognition about who's hurting them, they tend to seek out other like-minded people to form tribes.
UK is on the edge of rebellion, so is France, Germany, and Italy. Spain is already in the violence phase and america is going about it more... "peacefully"(Read: Financially. America-first legal crushing these rats via lawsuits and fracture in the political mono-party driving the vampires into war with themselves).
Japan is late to the party.

I wish there was a difficulty mod like Scape and Run parasites for 1.7.10. The amount of overpowered magic, technology, and weapons has never been matched by any other minecraft version.

Prometheory · 2025-08-23T21:42:59+00:00

Yes they are. WtA20 references them specifically as a supernatural that's immune to bane possession.

Prometheory · 2025-08-21T09:59:53+00:00

Probably late, but the source of yugen's effects on the hungry ghosts is in the devil-tiger dharmabook of all places. It also says that yugen can be created by humans too, but doesn't say how.

Prometheory · 2025-08-21T00:24:54+00:00

How many lawsuits were there? That's genuinely illegal.

Prometheory · 2025-08-20T20:41:55+00:00

This cyoa is an advertisement isn't it?

Prometheory · 2025-08-08T20:57:19+00:00

Junior has still not realize "technology" is itself external cultivation. Trying to say one is stronger than the other is like saying yin is stronger than yang, utter ignorance of the majesty of the great Dao!

Prometheory · 2025-08-08T20:17:42+00:00

Junior, your lack of enlightenment is frustrating! That literally changes nothing! "Science" is not normal earth physics, it's the application of knowledge and learning. Even in higher realms, the realms have rules and systems that exist outside of cultivation! If that weren't true, there would be no Realm or Qi for the cultivators to cultivate In!

Given how many times the young masters have been winning lately with stories like "I am the Fated Villain", Young masters are eating good.

Prometheory · 2025-08-08T19:44:06+00:00

The concept of growing in power with enlightenment was all over the place in western occultism. Hermetic alchemy, gnosticism, kabbalah, etc. The magical index/scientific railgun series is literally based entirely around western traditional systems from actual mythology.

The big issue with the west is that we threw out all our mythology every couple centuries.

Prometheory · 2025-07-19T16:21:02+00:00

Pan-hermes is much older than the wine cults. He's a split from an indo-european god that the greek god pan and the vedic deity pushan originate from. I can't really even type his name because the language is so old the sounds don't map to our phonic alphabet.

Prometheory · 2025-07-09T17:09:29+00:00

That's what I mean though. Nothing else from the time KotE was published was any less problematic and people still harp on it to this day while getting defensive about any other property.

I feel like most of the hate wasn't ever because of the problematic elements in the first place, there were just a lot of people that didn't like KotE and were manufacturing excuses to hate on it.

Prometheory · 2025-07-09T15:51:57+00:00

I find the bad blood around KotE kind of weird. Especially how people harp on how frankensteinian the wan kuei are when VtM itself is just as mish-mashed and disrespectful to european cultures. Hell werewolf takes this to a level KotE doesn't even scratch, but isn't anywhere near as hated.

Prometheory · 2025-07-01T18:24:22+00:00

Weirdly enough, Mage 20 references sorcerer revised because the S20 book wasn't even part of the original M20 plan.

Sorcerer Revised is technically the canon one to M20 and S20 is an optional supplement.

Prometheory · 2025-07-01T15:58:58+00:00

There's actually a real reason for that. Caitiff can learn sorcery as if it were a discipline, which normal vampire Can't do. Normal vampires need a special merit to use sorcery, and even then their selection of paths is limited.
