What is !cyoa?

!cyoa is a community for sharing and discussing CYOA content.

A CYOA (Choose Your Own Adventure) is a “what if” scenario containing multiple options that you, the player, choose to build a world, character, and/or story.

These scenarios follow a wide variety of themes, including but not limited to genres such as fantasy or sci-fi.

People that play through CYOAs commonly share their ‘builds’ in the comments section, along with an explanation of your choices. This, however, is not mandatory.

CYOAs are NOT to be confused with the children’s book series of the same name.

General Rule

  1. Don’t be a dick.

Content Rules

  1. Only use PNG and JPG file extensions, Imgur, ImageChest, and interactive CYOA links (such as Neocities), and text-based posts.
  2. Post singular CYOAs, not collections/albums.
  3. Label NSFW CYOAs as such in the title. Content/trigger warnings are recommended.
  4. No reposts (for now).
  5. Keep top-level comments on-topic.
  6. (Optional) Try and credit the original CYOA author, if possible.

One of my long-time favorites is Troy's Keeper of Magic: https://imgur.com/a/yoKPeub

There's also an optional lewd DLC: https://imgur.com/a/BoACmQp

I love it because of how it feels like seven different CYOAs that have been fused together. Troy has stated that all the powers and abilities were meant to synergize and play off each other, and it really shows. For over a week after I first saw it I kept being struck by sudden realizations that had me rushing back to my PC to edit my build- discovering new ways to play with the selections to get all the things I wanted.

The one that I love showing to other people though is Hexably's Overmind CYOA: https://imgur.com/a/09IOpkb

I looooooooove the fantasy of it. The idea of being the overlord of a zerg/tyranid hivemind is incredibly compelling to me.
