[CYOA/Shadowrun] BTLs Killed The Trideo Star - Being famous in the year '57



Sweet Cordial are a trideo streaming team in the year 2057. A troll gun-bunny, Serial, and her elf Street Samurai girlfriend, Cam record their Shadow Runs, illegal criminal operations in the dead of night. Live streaming it to a Trideo audience, and recording every sensation in their body so hyped up junkies can re-live their memories, we watch as you, their chat, either make them soar to new heights, or hit new and ever terrifying lows.

In Star Wars Sector Command, we explore the burning question of our times: "What if the Solomon Islands campaign, but Star Wars?" This is a full-up strategy game using a heavily-modded version of Solar Starfire to play out the shooty bits and covert skullduggery alike.

"But wait!" you might find yourself hypothetically asking, "I've never seen Starfire before and have no idea how to play!" Never fear, no game knowledge is required (and might actually be an advantage, given all the things I've had to do to it to Star Wars-ify things). Bring plans and ideas for dirty tricks, and maybe even make a leader to insert yourself into the action. Plan missions in as much or as little detail as you see fit, haggle with fellow Rebel goons over scarce resources, and order trusting soldiers to their deaths liberate the galaxy!

Before we can CYOA in Starforged, we must first invent the universe. A pre-CYOA for world building has begin here.

The Very Good Wizard is a game of trying to fix stuff broken while trying to fix stuff. Each of you will be working together to attempt to solve problems caused by the Wizard’s lack of foresight without dying or getting horribly mutated or something.

This story will follow the adventures of Cirrus Mist in a land called Rowangrave. Participants will be able to vote to customize Cirrus's character traits, like race and class, and guide them down different paths as they struggle to combat dark forces. This adventure will feature combat and skill checks using the D&D 5e system.

"You are a violent and irrepressible miracle. The vacuum of cosmos and the stars burning in it are afraid of you. Given enough time you would wipe us all out and replace us with nothing -- just by accident."
You receive a mysterious package, a simple jewel-case containing an unmarked CD-ROM. Clearly having been copied from the sorce, underneath the CD itself is a piece of tape instructing you not to insert the disk. So, clearly, you hook up your old, unused drive, put the disk in, only to find that the program runs on... DOS? There's an incomprehensible readme and an absolutely gigantic hypertext manual that aren't much help, but driven by curiosity you pull up the command line, set up a virtual machine, and do the only thing that makes sense.

This Choose Your Old Adventure, a dark fantasy in a Dying Earth style setting following the rise not of a hero but a true villain, is presented partly the style of an old MS-DOS adventure game, with a slight metafictional twist in that the game seems to know it is being played and have intentions of its own. Tone is meant to be found somewhere between the Book of the New Sun and Heavy Metal, where we can both enjoy building a world together but also engage in some power fantasy. Read the Manual, make bad choices, do terrible things, and maybe lose your soul in the process.

It may also be a spiritual successor to a game I ran in a different life, a different time.

To Ride Free: The Liberation of Prax

Prax! Land of the animal nomads, who ride everything except horses. Prax! Where the storm bull crushed the devil under a cube. Prax! Where chaos turned the entire place into mad max on a bison. We, a clan of high llama riders have been granted a vision from the gods: our land, green and restored. In front of us stands every obstacle in the world: from the red moon to our own hate. But we shall overcome it and bring back the green age, even if we have to reassemble a titan made out of hyenas to do it.


Let The Sun Rise: Six Ages in Dara Happa


Dara Happans, the Assyrian-Aztec-Iranians that everyone hates. But, how do they see themselves? In the lands of the sun, the blessed empire of Dara Happa, the emperor is dead. Yelm, the provider of life has fallen from the sky and his throne is empty. His many sons squabble over the right to rule, dozens of lights staining the sky with their blood. The war of many suns has begun. But, backing a candidate and making them the new Emperor Sun is only the first step. Since his fall, many errors have creeped into our way of life: hate, fear and cruelty have made us worse than we should be. For the sun to rise again, we will have to learn tolerance, kindness and love.

I am trying an experimental high-concept fantasy CYOA that will update around once a week. Expect plenty of questionable philosophies and fantasy politics as you forcefully uplift humanity into something beyond recognition. You can either play as a specific character or just vote like a regular CYOA.

Hi all, I just posted a CYOA based on a homebrew roleplaying setting that I've used with friends for ages. Longtime lurker, joined Something Awful back in the 00s and lost my original account. I participated in CYOAs back when they were posted as Let's Plays and the like... unless that's a fabricated memory or fever dream.

Read through the rules. I think I'm doing this right? If I'm breaking some unspoken rule (or if my CYOA is garbage) please let me know.

Death Is Not the End

Trying something a lot more stripped down and simpler than my other CYOA. It's an urban fantasy adventure with more of an emphasis on collaborative storytelling. Think Shadowrun, or World of Darkness. Settings like that.
