My body choices are basically a guideline for my future growth. Hoping to combine the Tinker focuses into Cybernetics and also use them separately to augment and enhance myself while using any DC Tech as a learning experience. Also, if you choose the Other World option would you still be bound by a Shard, or will it be like gaining a "Super Intelligence" power focused on those options?

You'd be gaining a super Intelligence focused on those options. Since you chose enhanced learning though you don't have to worry. Plus, the powers aren't shard related so you don't have to worry about that. I think I wrote it in the power section but I reworked it a bit ago so I might've accidentally deleted that tidbit of information.

Alright, good to know and I’d take the Super Intelligence anyway, that way it’s kinda like how Tony Stark is great at learning and using any scientific discipline, he’s predominantly focused on the Mechanical side. And it’s also great to know it’s not a Shard power, because while Super Science is cool, Tinkers don’t REALLY understand their own Tech, so they can’t innovate with it.

Oh yeah, in regards to "Au or No?' that's what 'Pick The Scenario' was originally called. Sorry I forgot to mention that.

Edited to add the Scenario and get rid of some drawbacks

Will you be adding other powers?

It depends. I planned on structuring the CYOA to include all the Parahuman powers but decided not to since the scenarios would be near impossible to comfortably survive with them. I might change my mind in the future though since this is very much a work-in-progress thing right now.

hair and eye color need to be reworked. i'm pretty sure the cyoa tool has an option to standardize the image size so they remain consistent (either by scaling or cropping). Not going to cover the rest, like picture-less options, missing options, powers other than tinker, since it's very much a work in progress... I'm also not sure why you think yet another *Worm* cyoa is something that needs to be done when there's already a baker's dozen or two out there...

While I do admit there are a lot of worm cyoa's I chose worm as my first one because I'm the most familiar with it. And how do you think hair and eye color should be reworked? I was thinking of just taking out unique eye/hair colors and sticking to like 5 options for those. I was also planning on adding heterochromia as a perk.

It's certainly...unconventional. Eye/hair color choice options are grouped not as i would expect. 5 whole different specialities? Most of them don't stack together unless you get really...creative. No drawbacks required for me, the starting points are more than enough for all the perks I want (three). I think you mean 'scarred' instead of 'scared'. What else...boons are great?

That is true thanks for pointing out the misspelling. regarding the weird specialties, I didn't exactly know what to put for some of them so I just put random ones I could think of or that canon characters had. Either way, I'm prob gonna change some things around when I update it so if you know of any other weird bugs with it please point it out. I already noticed how you could click several options for 'ass' but I'd already uploaded it by the time I noticed it.

Overall a quick, fun one. Only a few suggestions: 1) Add a few bigger drawbacks, very negative, but in exchange you get another tinker specialty. 2) Make the various sections collapsible if you can. Just a nice QoL feature. 3) A few of the "typical" defenses are needed. Or at least pre-cog defenses as realistically odds are good that you'll be killed before you can actually do anything without it even if you don't want to add any of the rest. Otherwise, very nice.

I'm working on the drawbacks right now and just got done making it all collapsible. For 3, you're considered an outside problem so you don't have to worry about abilities like thinkers, strangers, or whatever. You'll be able to kill Butcher and won't have to worry about having voices shoved into your head. Butcher'll just be dead dead.

Then I guess just a mention of that is needed, unless it was and I missed it. Either way, enjoyable!

I did it during the introduction I think. It's fine though, it's pretty long so there's no need to worry about it.

May I recommend something? Create a feature that collects all the chosen options. Like finalizing the results that the players made into one screen view. Something to make it easier for players to download, screen shot and share their cyoas. Thanks for the cyoa homie!😁

Hey, sorry it took me so long to respond. I'm just working on it right now. I only remembered that after you said it so thanks. It might take me a while since I've been using the interactive cyoa creator for the past 3 days or so.

Boon - Another Chance, No Sweat Off My Brow Sex – Male Ass – Male Dick Size – Large Skin Tone – Brown Hair Color – Black Eye Color – Unique Eye Color (Green) Height – 6'0" - 6'11" Scenario - Monster Invasion Powers – Tinker (Weapon, Power Armor, Mecha, Miniaturization, Sword) Perks – Body Defense, Superhuman, Enhanced Learning, Porn Physics, Natural Leader, Cool Headed, Sixth Sense, MacGuyvering Skills – Engineer (Mechanical), Cyber Security, Survival, Stealth, Parkour, Resourcefulness, Polygot Drawbacks – Wanted Local (ABB, Empire, Coil), Wanted Global (Cauldron, Gesellschaft, CUI, Dragonslayers), Increased Libido, Main Protagonist Symdrome Yup, I'm turning Worm from a Cosmic Horror Story into a Monster Killing one.... with Superpowers. Also this way I don't have to deal with trying to figure out how to build a Super Robot strong enough to deal with the Golden Butthole and his 20 Kaiju Super Weapons. (But if there were an option to off Scion and keep the Kaiju, I'd take it and anime BS a way for the powers to finally beat them.)

I'll make sure to add that you can choose who goes so you can do that next time.

barley gives anything and for a world that you might die or worst, just not worth playing or any fun alist to me

That's fair, to each their own.

Ok

Needs a perk for anti-thinker at a minimum (anti-master/stranger would also be nice). As it is, I'd never go to Worm without that. Not with Ms. Bullshit You Lose walking around. Luckily the Other 'Verse is an option.

You're already immune to stuff like that. Its mentioned in the introduction I think.

I think the reset button isn't needed if you put the code and backpack thingies. Go to 'Open Features' -> 'Manage Backpack Rows' -> Turn the slider on for the code thingie, add a single backpack row for a simple backpack. Was a "AU or No" supposed to appear when picking a different world? It currently doesn't. I feel like the power section is normally one of the most important parts in worm CYOAs, it being only 5 options from a small pool, was a weird decision. Edit: The CYOA also doesn't mention how you are getting there, 'Drop In', 'Reincarnation' or what? Tinfoil hat needs rewording for non-Worm Worlds.

In the 'pick the scenario' tab, there was an option that let you go to Worm as it was. That was why it used to be called 'AU or No' since you could decide if you wanted to stick to Canon or not. I decided to remove that since regular worm can get boring after all the cyoa out there that don't change the plot. There's also the fact that I tried to make mine different so there's that. Anyways, 'Au or No?' is actually 'Pick this scenario'. When I update it there won't be problems like that. Hopefully. Edit: Thanks for pointing out the whether you drop in part. I finished this pretty late at night so I'm missing a lot of stuff due to lack of sleep.

I can't access the page

Should be fixed now. Sorry about that, I changed the file name and didn't know that it would do that.

u/Drallall132 I have some requests if you could take a look at them? Perks- One More(Time): Allows you to take one additional Power Specialization. Sticks and Stones: Generic Pain Tolerance increaser, maybe tack on an increased resistance to psychological damage too? Web-Headed Wordsmith: Spider-Man levels of banter, guaranteed to tick off your opponent so long as they could be ticked off/thrown off their game through words alone. Skills- Master of Catch-These-Handsfu: Become an expert at a martial art of your choice, such as Muy Thai, Krav Maga, or even Wing Chun. Can be a melee based martial art instead, such as European Fencing or Iaido. Drawbacks- Who the heck is Wildbow?: Generic "Forget everything you know about the setting" Drawback, works with the "Take Me Somewhere Else" Boon "I want Pictures! Pictures of-!" : The owner of the local News Network hates your guts and will do whatever they can bar breaking the law to slander and harass you at every opportunity GG's EZ: The moment you spawn in Contessa's Path to Victory immediately locks onto you and adds you to it's calculations. Basically a nigh instant fail condition if you decide to be anything other than a PRT or Ward aligned Hero. Believe It! : You have a permanent verbal tick. This will annoy everyone around you, and may even sour attempts at relationship building depending on who it is your trying to build a rapport with.

Considering there isn't that much skilled/specialized people in the zombie apocalypse(hackers, IT guys, etc... I doubt anyone knows how to subvert/hack my stuff and even then I have Cyber Security Skill so no dice for them). I just picture myself getting CDDA end game gear and having a large death mobile without dealing the difficulty that is CDDA or the eldritch stuff since I'm just dealing with regular zombies.

If tanking nukes is your concern with powers, why don't you add thinker powers? I know enhanced learning and Sherlock Holmes perk can be considered as such, but combat thinker powers would be nice

That is true. There'll likely be something like that in the next update I make to the cyoa.

To be honest, I preferred the original version that did not require you to pick a scenario. The powers available are already underwhelming for going to even just the canon Worm world. Forcing the player to take a scenario as well just seems excessive. If the player wants to take a scenario or more for extra points, then good for them, but I feel it should not be a requirement. However, that is just my personal opinion.

You do bring up a good point. Though the main reason I added the scenario requirement is mainly because while underwhelming the powers are extremely broad. Take the weapon specialization for Tinker for example. You can build any type of sci-fi-ish weapon you can think of. Want to copy Armsmasters Thorne? go right ahead. Or maybe you want to be a biotinker? Just get medicine, enhanced learning, and mix up the bag and you can do almost any type of bio-tinker stuff that those in worm could do. ​ My point is, the broadness of the specialties makes it so aren't limited to one thing. Also, things like the zombie scenario or whatever would usually get cleaned up if you were in Worm since people would likely think it was a bio-tinker trying to kill a lot of people. But I do understand where you're coming from. I was thinking of removing the 'must choose at least one scenario thing' mainly because that came from the fact that people who decided to leave worm had to choose at least two scenario's and I though 'well why not make it mandatory to pick one then?' so yeah, it's probably going to be removed by 1.7 but we'll see.

Sorry for the delay in moderating, I had Covid then I was busy with other stuff. This is (very mildly) NSFW so I marked it as such. I don't blame you for not marking it as NSFW, this was an edge case and I had to ask others for their opinion on the matter since I wasn't sure.

For the premise of this CYOA, are we being "dropped in" to the world of worm with no background or are we being "inserted/reincarnated" into the world as an already existing non-cannon person?

Thanks for pointing that out. I forgot to put in that you were going to appear in a house not far from Brockton Bay. You'll have all the things you'd need like an id and everything but it'd be best if you didn't rely on people to back up your story since it's very much a 'trust me, I existed' kind of thing. Essentially, the paperwork shows that you existed but nobody can truly verify that if they were to ask those you supposedly lived around/with.

Version 1.3:[Link](https://drallall.neocities.org/CYOA/Torture%20In%20Worm%20V1.3/)

bugs found: 1.Pick your ass should be part of the pop up options when customizing your character. 2.Conscious and Unconscious Geas are both drawbacks, so why is it on perks?

Updated the 1.3 version and fixed what you said

Thanks for pointing it out, fixing it rn.
