Hi all! I've been a longtime lurker. First started visiting RPGCodex way back (like when Fallout 3 released back). I've been searching for places to do creative writing. I notice this subforum is a little quiet, so I'm wondering if there is interest in a new CYOA.
When I run CYOAs I like to do them collaboratively. So rather than giving options to vote on, I let people put in suggestions like in a text adventure (think Zork) and I work out the next part of the story based on them. I use dierolls to make things more interesting, and track perks, inventory, and character relationships. Sometimes we HAVE to have a vote due to mutually excluding options, of course. I also use AI generated art to make things more visually interesting than GIANT BLOCK OF TEXT.
Here are some examples from an urban fantasy CYOA I'm currently running (Josei is the protagonist):
I have several settings, including a gritty steampunk world in the midst of a necromantic WW1, an urban fantasy setting (think shadowrun or world of darkness), and a post-apocalyptic fantasy/dieselpunk one. I could use any of these settings depending on what folks find more fun or intriguing.
Would this type of adventure interest anyone?
