All forms of customization. I can create virtually any creatures I can think of. With Lifegiver I can keep designing and re-designing new species and with Divine Form I can take the appearance of anything that exists, which can be pretty much anything. Miniature exists more as a customization option.

The world also has as much variety as I can afford. High tech, high magic, and everything in between with Glass and Breeze to provide extra detail. There's a huge variety of Adventure to be had

Greater and lesser avatar are necessary powers to get anything out of the world. It's a shame about the time limits, but I might be able to take the form of a 40xgiant fairy to get some extra hours out of Greater.

I put the world in pocket space, then paint (terraforming) the necessary celestial bodies around it, then cover the whole thing with a black box or something so I can use the rest of pocket space for myself.

Instead of taking Genre Shift to segregate out tech/magic whatever areas, I'll use Mental customization to accomplish the same thing. Different species will have different aptitudes for tech or magic, different methods of civilization, a different preferred regions so that they don't spread out and diffuse too much.

Shared world allows me to uplift ONE waifu from my world. She'll gain access to all my powers including Divine Form (so immortality+shapeshifting), but I can only ever do one so I have to choose well.

Some example species my world might feature

>High elven magic city made of glass

>wood elven treehouse villiages

>lewd demon cities of medium-tech with lewd magic

>monstergirls of every stripe, mostly solitary or tribal

>Asari future-tech city with psionics and one sex.

>hidden fairy towns.

>regular monsters for the purpose of Adventure

>Savage races for the purpose of adventure

>Absolutely no humans, ever.

It's a big world, it'll take some time to fill it all up.

I love love love the choices in this CYOA. Funnily enough the main thing holding it back is a lack of drawbacks. There's so many fun options to play god but there's only 6 total options that give you points back for taking them. I wasn't even trying to take all of the options for powers, less than half I think, but I couldn't make up the points without abandoning a lot of ideas, even if I wanted to opt for every drawback. It doesn't help the last segment was basically a bunch of chorse which in other ones would count as 'jobs' or something to give you some extra points for your troubles. Some CYOA's you just can't get too many options at once, but I enjoy it a little more when I at least have more bad options to give me the ability to take more good if I wanted to, maybe I won't end up taking them in exchange but at least the options there instead of just a hard limitation. Ah, the pain of a CYOA with way too many good options at once.

Afterlife seems pretty limited since it has a population cap, so at a certain point you'll just lose some of them. And taking multiple would be fun to play with if things weren't so strapped for points in the first place.

Sorry about not going into detail with the choices with this one, I kind of ran out of steam for the most part after trying to trim down the optoins and replanning my drawbacks to even out the points. I could make a bunch of builds just on the customizing the races on the planets and the planet itself alone. Basically for this one though, I was invisioning a less violent version of alternia.

My world is BIG and with Rescale, I can always just shink it down so it is portable. With the customization options, the species can be pretty much anything that fits with the world, plus I can also choose what gets made and what the genders are!

The world is interesting, the way it is made is that it is a FLoating Cyberpunk world where the Floor is just nothing, a thick layer of fog would prevent others from finding out what is below the fog while they all just live on their futuristic technological sky cities. With the Hive choice, there will be so much land that it the world would consist of everyone living in the sky, possibly navigating with flying cars.

As for the powers,

I can put myself in the world to have some fun with what goes on in it but with Divine Form I can make myself look however I want and if I want to make some of the really religious people go crazy, give myself some wings and a halo.

Starveil cloak would calm people down and would let people think they live in a normal world while Soulbeat and Clairvoyance can help me listen in on peoples worries or thanks.

Blessing would be for me to do some good and also to help out the people in need.

Restore and Imprisonment can allow me to stop stuff like attacks or major acts of violence from happening or fix what disasters cause.

Finally, Fate can allow me to make it big in my world, using the power to alter stuff like lotto tickets or sweepstakes.

The Events were chosen based on the stuff I had chosen.

Restore the World Network makes it so I can fix the World Network and talk to others about their worlds and what they do, maybe even giving myself some ideas on what to cause in my world.

Train a Prophet would be the easiest one to accomplish, with Clairvoyance, Divine Form, Soul Beat and Blessing, it should be no problem to convince people who I am, maybe even say for people to listen to my prophet.

Assist your Favorite Goddess is just for me to go on adventures and to help her out.

Lesser avatar only lets me live on my planet for 4 hours a day, which is not enough. I want to be able to live with my people for prolonged periods of time. I would want to live on my planet more often than not. The "Visit the Moon" quest on the last page hints that this may be possible. She was able to master the avatar technique to the extent that she lives on the moon more often than their home. If it's possible for me to master the technique like that over time, then there is no issue.

However, if I am unable to get beyond the 4 hour cap with the avatar ability then there's a problem. In that case, I was thinking that the "shared world" ability could let me enter a planet and stay there without limit. Even if I could not enter my own world - I could take the "Adopt a Planet" quest on the last page and enter that adopted world as I please.

I'm aware that I can use it anywhere on Earth - but I'm talking about using avatar to live with my people on the planet that I own for long periods of time. That can only be done for 4 hours a day, according to the global description of avatar. That's why I'm looking for loopholes. I think "Shared World" combined with "Adopt a Planet" would work.

Shared world is powered by the owner of the world "in the manner of infusion". It wouldn't work with adopt a planet because either there's no one to power it, or it would have to be powered by you.

Avatar requires continuous effort to maintain the form, but it doesn't actually say that for infusion. For infusion, it only says that it requires effort to shrink people down. After they have been shrunk down it doesn't seem to require anything else. They made this pretty clear in the "Free Human Prisoners" quest on the final page. If infusion required effort on the same level as avatar to maintain the form then the unruly globe keeper would have never been able to permanently keep tens of thousands of people in their planet.

Shared world works "exactly like" infusion, so I think that would require no effort to maintain either. From a balance perspective that does not make avatar pointless. The benefit of avatar is that if your avatar is destroyed, your true body is unharmed. If you enter another world through "shared world" it's your real body that enters the world and you can actually die. That's a pretty big con to "shared world".

I guess what it comes down to is whether you could shrink yourself down or not. It's unclear whether you can or not. If you are correct and you can't shrink yourself, there's still another way to make it work. The personal use of "shared world" says that you can elevate another person to your stature. That person has all of the same abilities as you. That means they could shrink you down. The two of you could alternate so that one of you is working and one of you is on vacation.

The short of it is the author didn't want you to be able to live in your world long-term. He's not here in this thread that I made, but he's know for answering pretty much any question where he is present.

It's a major drawback, but that's just how the CYOA is, I guess to keep it distinguished from generic pocket dimension CYOAs.

I guess that should have been evident from the 4 hour limit on avatar. I'll operate under the assumption that I can't freely enter another world without another globe keeper shrinking me down then - but if I were to elevate somebody else to the status of globe keeper through the personal use function of "shared world" then I don't see any reason why we could not alternate with each other. I'll try to catch the creator on /tg/ - the answer to this question is kind of critical to my build.

I got a response on /tg/ - you were partially right. Shared world does not require the power of another globe keeper. You can enter the world of another globe keeper without their consent. It leaves you very vulnerable though. They can smite you if they feel like it. Shared world can't be used on your own worlds, and the adopted world counts as one of your worlds. So, my plan is screwed. I won't be able to infuse myself into my adopted world because it counts as mine.

Summary

Thanks to the afterlife power I have two worlds to work with. Souls will be reincarnated back and forth between my worlds. I'll have several continents on these worlds each with their own unique genre of fantasy. Examples include:

Generic Fantasy: A generic continent with fantasy races, dungeon cores, and hostile monsters that need to be subjugated by adventurers.

Monster Girl: A continent that will consist of humans, monster girls, and angels. The angels would exist as a balancing force against the monster girls to prevent humanity from going extinct on the continent.

Order: A continent where powerful non-human creatures maintain order and take care of humanity's needs through the use of advanced magic. Humans compete against each other in games for fun and to resolve conflicts. Any injuries that take place during these games would be healed by magic.

Adventure: A fragmented continent that is surrounded by numerous small islands, each with their own dangers, mysteries, tribal cultures, and creatures. The danger is great, but so is the reward. Wonders such as the fountain of youth may exist on some of these islands.

Lawless: A continent where powerful non-human creatures stealthily tear down all attempts by humanity to give rise to large systems of power. With no government to rule over the people, this will be the wild west.

Other: Through a great deal of effort and creative usage of the lifegiver power I could give rise to flavors that I did not purchase. For example, if I were to create a race of humans that are mentally customized to have a high probability of being tinkerers, and I were to also make them sensitive to electric forces to constrain them to working with pre-electric technologies, that would likely result in a clockwork society. I could go further and make it so that a few of them have the potential to wield magic. That magic force would be the primary renewable resource that drives the gears of their clockwork society.

This still isn't enough - I want a third world of an entirely different genre. That's why i took the "Adopt a Planet" quest at the end. The goddess stated that there are numerous planets to choose from, and that I could request a genre. I'll request a post-scarcity technological paradise.

To preserve the uniqueness of these continents they will be separated by vast oceans, and the "disastrous" drawback will be used to make travel between them extremely dangerous. I do get to narrow down and choose which disaster types strike my worlds. I'll choose frequent hurricanes, rogue waves, and monsters to make large scale travel between the continents impossible.

Summary (Continued)

Because I want for my people to be happy, all of my people will be blessed with sexual stamina and will have regenerative abilities that allow them to regrow limbs within about a months time. They will retain their youthful appearance and function until their lifespan ends - although certain marks may appear on their bodies that let people know how old they are. Human lifespan will be set to 100 years. The lifespan of other fantasy races will vary. Orc lifespan would be roughly 30 years while elves may live for 500 years. A few fantasy creatures like angels will have ageless immortality, but they will be infertile. I do not want an immortal population explosion.

I'll use "soul beat" and "clairvoyance" to monitor my worlds and maintain the balance. I'll use "divine form" to disguise myself and use "lesser avatar" to visit whichever continents I feel like going to. I could restore and revive the injured or bless/transform people to make them "heroes". Every day will be fun.

I would sustain my existence on Earth by projecting an avatar to hospitals. I would work there as a magic doctor. With my "restore" power I could heal better than any normal doctor. With my "blessing" power I could transform people into their most desired forms. This kind of work should easily fund my Earthly life and it would be spiritually satisfying.

I need a waifu that will be by my side through the ages. I could use the "shared world" power to uplift a normal woman and have her rule by my side, but there would be a high risk that she may be disloyal, have a mental breakdown over time, or have other undesirable qualities that were not immediately apparent that make her unsuited to being a globe keeper. With my powers I can do better. I'll use the lifegiver power to create a small race of people that do have the qualities that I am looking for. They will be ageless, mentally stable, extremely loyal, loving, and intelligent enough to understand the importance of maintaining the balance. I'll choose my partner from among these people.

I chose to "restore the world network". Ordinarily I would never put myself at risk by entering the world of another globe keeper, but the goddess has seen my future and told me that "if I took more than 3" of these quests that I would meet disaster. Since I only took 3, and she knows the future, I should be able to succeed without meeting disaster. This is the only time that I will enter another world. I also chose to "assist your favorite goddess" because 7 hours of work per week does not seem too bad, and I would want a good relationship with the goddess that empowered me. Plus, it seems like it could be fun.
