Tentative test CYOA thread
RE: Tentative test CYOA thread
#23
As you can probably tell, I see them less as a game to be won and more idea generators for (nominally) a story to be told (or at least imagined as an outline, realistically speaking) with rules exactly as binding as I care to make them, but then I do tend to look at things from a storytelling perspective more than in character most of the time. In that kind of situation as a (nominal) writer I wouldn't bother asking, just tell the story as I like it -- though I wouldn't rule out a story about a normally-Benevolent ROB who has to smack a bitch for trying to lawyer and loophole their way into being ridiculously OP, either.

I keep thinking that would be an interesting theme for a CYOA itself, actually, but drawing a blank on how to set it up. I mean, lorewise it's simple, the player is the newly ascended rookie god (probably of the "Pick three other CYOAs or 5000pts of Jumpchain benefits to build your character, then get ready to be thrown in the deep end" type) so the senior ROBs dump a bunch of problem cases on them, but how to actually quantify that, even to levels sufficient to call it a writing prompt rather than a resource allocation game?
