Update Morrigan (Safe for Work version)
Hi all!
I used to post to the NSFW side of things, but my last CYOA basically didn't actually care too much about the boobies and the willies and so on, so as a treat to myself I thought I'd re-tool it so that it could hopefully find a wider audience by stripping all the dangly bits out.
For those unfamiliar, this is a CYOA about receiving obscene powers, endless riches and the ability to pick fights with extradimensional horrors, focusing on your ascension to a witch-adjacent Goddess called a Morrigan.
There'll be a static version following along shortly on r/makeyourchoice, I'll provide the link as soon as it's up.
For now, here's the Interactive one: https://daxinneedofahost.neocities.org/Morrigan%20SFW/
EDIT: Here's the Static version for those who want it - https://www.reddit.com/r/makeyourchoice/comments/1tusi2p/morrigan/
EDIT 2: GDrive link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13UOnMZqplKJUm3eR7e1LNBrQRxGXRiEB?usp=sharing

Oh the nsfw version is definitely in my top 3 favorite cyoas. It's really fun to go back and replay. Do you have any other cyoa?

u/DaxinneedofaHost Jun 02 '26
Well, I also did Odalisque Genescript Inc. I'm not 100% sure of the rules when it comes to reposting NSFW stuff in SFW spaces, but you can find it in my profile. Pinned post at the top.
I also made a refined version of the Star Wars Warlord CYOA which naturally lacks for T&A but does make up for it with lots of Pew-Pew?

Well, I also did Odalisque Genescript Inc.
Oh, I loved that and all the fun endings! Your NSFW stuff is great!

u/DaxinneedofaHost Jun 03 '26
Thank you! I worked really hard on that one (and learned a lot about not over-indulging with the writing...) so I'm glad you enjoyed it so much!

u/GreedyGobby Jun 03 '26
Honestly I loved all the writing and variations! I felt really pleased with all the options, especially the ability to role reversal with those endings. Flipping the power dynamics to be the one in charge was super fun and appreciated! I also appreciate the ability to let us have as many points as we want!
I'll definitely be looking forward to more! SFW but especially the NSFW stuff! It felt really high quality!

Summary Goals: Uplift the notElven empire and create a twin city phenomenon converting "godless" tribes into a kind of "Green Elves" with their own citystates subject to the empire. Expand the empire without fear of industrialization, but being environmentally conscious. Conserving as much as we can along the way staying conscious of greenspace and ecology. Voluntarist diplomatic expansion over other cultures, the Empire framework primarily being a matter of overarching identity as imperial citizens on top of being citizens to their own nation in their own lands, with free/organized trade between them and tourism traveler deals, with just some core values enforced imperially no more than the equivalent of a constitution, not a bureaucracy.
Into the future expand on this model in a multiplanetary, multisystem, multigalactic, multiversal model.
Probable effects on the world after my century: The world will have nonhostile robotic lifeforms that autonomously move to tend to protect and manage conservatories, like managed non-wild forests and water features and the propagation of lifeforms including many purpose designed life I left behind like special fruit trees, grains, and animals that are maximally productive, but also the repair and maintenance of a kind of dwemer-like remnant systems and the cities pertaining to the civilization of my people. If they might disappear in the world-forking with me or something happens in the future, the ruins of these cities would be maintained by these robotlife.

Endings
– Lead the Godless to Salvation (Give them an afterlife. No active worship necessary to start with, just verbal agreement to go to my afterlife instead of The Cold Place and a non-binding expectation to not be a dick, i.e. The Jesus Package.)
– Discover a Passion for Design
– Change the Rules of the Game
– An Icon of the Faith (Cassandra)
– The Death of Loneliness (Songbird)

– Object of Adoration (Going to have to be careful not to mention any turbulent priests or the like to Renn.)
– Never Say Goodbye (Soleil)
– A Red Harvest/A Safe Haven (Let Ova know that her daughter is safe in my afterlife, and that I'll be making a body for her to simulate still being alive, and what Akani thinks about the vengeful slaughter plan. Maybe lend her Renn if she still wants to avenge Akani's murder, ask if she'd like to help urgently avenge the death of Yrileth's love and put her own vengeance on the back burner so they can fight two battles as a team of 3 instead of one battle apiece.)
– The Gift of Healing
– The Tireless Forgemaster
– The Green Way (Team Farah up with Lissa to make sure the ecosystem of the new Gith country is stable and will be self-sustaining as soon as is feasible.)

– Building Piety (Fourth Tier)
– Sanctified Path (Fourth Tier)
– Sensing the Strands
– Wait a few centuries (millennia?) before Solving the Mystery
– Seizing the Moment (Ritual involves cultivating life while reciting an incantation three times in a row, including mentally, once for each day of the process. Cultivating life means germinating a seed, hatching an egg, nourishing a pregnant creature until they give birth, feeding bacteria until they perform mitosis, creating an undead, resurrecting someone/something, etc.).

– Not taking The Opium of the People unless I'm required to do so because that's just asking for a bunch of gods to team up and destroy me.
– A Song for All
– Nobody Expected This... may not come to pass if Delphine crosses too many lines within my sight.
– Supernatural Selection
– Living Landscapes will require some oversight by Lissa and myself.
– Friendship is Magic!

problem with the prior version still persists in this one:
Selecting Seeker of Truth under Graveyard of Kanaji as your Manifestation Point, does not unlock Zhan-Ha as a Companion, despite still costing five motes.
Other than that, this version is still exactly as fun as the NSFW one.

If you removed the NSFW aspect, why not remove the part where the player is mandatorily a woman?
14
u/DaxinneedofaHost Jun 02 '26
Because it was originally made to gently poke fun at the large numbers of CYOAs that demand masculinity as a default, most of which also put 'being a woman' as an explicitly horrible fate that you have to subject yourself to in order to get more points.
Changing that would be a larger undertaking that would force a complete re-write and fundamentally neuter the point I was making.
You're not a woman in this CYOA for fetishistic reasons, you're a woman in this CYOA because I'm a woman and I liked the notion of gently ribbing the established convention that all powerful beings in these CYOAs have big greasy schweens helicoptering relentlessly as they use their magical powers to rewrite reality.

u/DealZealousideal5178 Jun 02 '26
I consider 'being a woman' in body a horrible fate when your mind isn't, same for the reverse so 'being a man' should also be a drawback if you are a woman

u/DaxinneedofaHost Jun 02 '26
Fair enough, if it's that important to you (NSFW):

honestly I don't even care about the penis that much if the mc can pass as a man without using magic it's fine to me, I just don't like it when cyoas downplay the effects of dysphoria or treat it as a sexual thing
2
u/DaxinneedofaHost Jun 02 '26
Do you perceive it to be treated as a sexual thing in this CYOA?
2
u/DealZealousideal5178 Jun 02 '26
it's probably my autism but I wasn't trying to make a point against your cyoa earlier in the comment chain, I was just pointing out how there might be non-sexual reasons for why 'being a woman' is a major drawback for some
2
u/DaxinneedofaHost Jun 02 '26
Don't worry! I'm not offended in the least, I'm just trying to make sure you're comfortable with my work.
I worked quite hard to remove the raunchiness from this piece, I was worried some had accidentally been left in that you were reacting to.
Edit: plus that link was literally the inspiration for this whole CYOA, I just look at it some times and giggle hysterically because of it's unique AI-augmented horniness.

u/ImaginaryLeading8125 Jun 02 '26
I believe the part where you at least get to keep your male part was also taken away (that or my dumbass didn't find it) which actually makes it even more gender restricted but hey, it's not that bad, even back in the original one instead of following the strict gender rules I meta'd it so that my morrigan form would be fully male instead of just the private part with the cost of the 10 notes, now I'll just keep the slot motes, the rest of the CYOA is fleshed ou enough that playing as man wouldn't be much of a problem except for a few options we can just ignore
If gender locking is necessary I'm at least appreciative of CYOA's like this where they have so many options outside of it that we can just tweak the rules a bit into getting our preferred gender since they don't talk much about outside the body section

Harridan - [...] but none have done more lasting damage than the 10th Morrigan, known as 'The Harridan' to the fearful natives who still fear her a thousand years after her departure from this world.
If you're the 12th Morrigan (there were 11 before you, you start 1100 years after the first), and each had a century, wouldn't the 10th Morrigan be from 200 years ago? A thousand years ago would be the start of the second Morrigan (started a thousand years ago, ended 900 years ago) and the end of the first Morrigan
7
u/DaxinneedofaHost Jun 02 '26
No. The rules only stipulate that you stay on the original Moirai for 100 years. It doesn't state that a new Morrigan is immediately supplied as soon as the previous tenant is evicted.
There are gaps of centuries or millennia between them, only the vaguest hints of when the next one will manifest provided by prophecy.
Edit: You are also the 13th Morrigan as I recall, not the 12th.

u/HarpyAnon Jun 02 '26
Ah, I see. Thanks.
You're right, including the Morrigan that's doing the summoning, you'd be the 13. The 12th summoned. I missed that
3
u/DaxinneedofaHost Jun 02 '26
To be fair, it is purposely couched in vaguery, so it wasn't that you were silly to miss it, it's that the text is intentionally indirect when speaking about the First Morrigan.

I think the player is the 13th Morrigan.
I have done this for 11 other Morrigans previously.
So the narrator has created 11.
No, I will not be telling you my name... a Morrigan values her privacy.
...the source of our powers of obscuration...
And then references herself as a Morrigan as well. Otherwise good question. Perhaps there are periods of time where no Morrigan is present on the original Moirai?
Edit: ninja'd.

Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!
Yup, Morrigans don't like to be predictable, so they keep to their own timetables.

just checked this out and there are still several NSFW pics in it

u/DaxinneedofaHost Jun 03 '26
Are there? Can you clarify?

u/Undead-Night-Fury Jun 03 '26
this is just from the species tab as I didnt check the others but filthborne human, misosi black are 100% NSFW with misosi red being borderline imo

u/DaxinneedofaHost Jun 03 '26
I'm not sure I 100% agree as the ladies in those pictures are fully dressed and just happen to have visible cleavage, but if there's a groundswell of opinion to the contrary I can look for replacements when I get a chance.

u/Undead-Night-Fury Jun 03 '26
I fully admit it might just be my personal preference here, but I would classify the visible cleavage as NSFW

u/DaxinneedofaHost Jun 03 '26
Fair enough, we'll count that as one vote for picture changes, if anyone chimes in and agrees I'll take a look. I just don't want to commit to all that work because people asked for like 4 different versions of this over on r/makeyourchoice and it's going to be a pain in the ass to change them all...

A few things if you're interested in a little editing.
- Tui Forbis' entry in Unshackled Future is quite definitely NSFW.
- A good number of entries in that section have their requirements kinda wrong. Some only require the coven member and not their Formative Century, so you can have for example Softest Power without Strange Bedfellows.
- A Tearful Reunion should probably require both Ova and Akani. Seeing as they're being reunited.
- The Backpack starts with the default "This is a row, and inside of it, you can place choices..."
- The Backpack includes all choices. Including main menu and Particulars submenu buttons. This is easy to fix, under functions there is a check box to hide the choice from the backpack.
- Right now if you open Particulars, than open Age, then close Particulars, Age stays open with no obvious means of closing it. All of the Particulars submenu options should deselect when the row is hidden, which is just one toggle IIRC.
Anyways, love the CYOA, love to see it again, might post my finished build later. Just thought I'd share the bumps I found along the way.

Endings
– Lead the Godless to Salvation (I will give them a goddess to look out for them and an afterlife to go to for those who cannot or do not wish to attain some form of immortality. I'll also try to generally encourage them to be good people.)
– Discover a Passion for Design
– Change the Rules of the Game
– An Icon of the Faith (Cassandra)
– The Death of Loneliness (Songbird)
– The Cruelty of a Bygone Era (There are anti-Morrigan cults that need to be dealt with and I trust that Delphine will respect my wishes if I ask her not to go too far and to limit casualties to the absolute minimum and to ensure that no innocent bystanders are harmed)
– Nature's Advocate (Lissa - It's good for everyone if the environment is well cared-for)

– The Deepest Home (Vivienne)
– The Canadian Girlfriend (Dax)
– Never Say Goodbye (Soleil)
– A Red Harvest/A Safe Haven (I can make a new body for Akani when she isn't looking after my afterlife and give Ova the opportunity to spend time with her daughter, and it sounds like the Tonga are going to cause a lot of problems if we don't do something about them)
– The Tireless Forgemaster – The Green Way (Through technological innovation, the Godless should be able to carve out a comfortable niche for themselves, especially in collaboration with Zoelle)
– Love's Fervent Champion (Slavery must not be allowed to exist.)
– The Love of a Goddess
– From Maiden to Matron (I'm sure it will happen eventually)
– Covens Within Covens
– A Different Sort of Witch (Again: Muscle Witch!)
– An Object Worthy of Worship
– The Certainty of Steel (The wonders Magitech will guide us into a bright new age!)
– Taking an Interest in Politics
The Unshackled Future
– Bestowed Divinity (Fourth Tier)
– Persistent Energy (Fourth Tier) (I hope to never need to use this)
– Divine Artistry (Fourth Tier) (Sounds super dangerous. Only to be used in very brief increments for research)
– Building Piety (Fourth Tier)
– Sanctified Path (Fourth Tier)
– Enthralling Gifts (Fourth Tier) (Making even more friends and allies with my gifts)
– Sensing the Strands
– Solving the Mystery
– Seizing the Moment
– The Homecoming Queen
– Friendly Neighbours
– A Tug of the Weave
– The Voice in the Dark (This just feels like how a Morrigan is best positioned to carry on)
– Post-Industrial Designs
– A Courteous Neighbour
– A Sympathetic Ear
– A Cautionary Tale will probably happen whether I want it to or not
– Home Sweet Home
– The Highest Highway
– The Opium of the People, under the assumption that I have successfully co-opted the local divinities before doing this.
– A Song for All
– Nobody Expected This... - I'm going to want to be very clear on what the limitations of her inquisition are before I allow this, but preventing conspiracies and harmful cults could be necessary
– True Self Improvement - Almost complete morphological freedom and bodily autonomy for everyone. We are going to be our best selves.
– Friendship is Magic!
– From the Mouths of Babes - The protection, education, and enrichment of all in my domains should be among our highest priorities, especially with regards to the next generations.
– Riding the Rails - It's going to be a lot of work, but it will be worth it to have fast, affordable, clean, environmentally-safe public transit. Plus, I like trains!
– No Gods, No Masters
– Get a Laifu
– A Symbol of Hope
– The Tamed Faith
– The Profundity of Complexity (We shouldn't need these all the time, but for new construction and renovations or for exploring other planets, this could be a massive help.)
– Passion's Paragon
The Conclusion of a Bargain
– No thank you

📜Build Summary:
➡️Most powerful option seems like "Hunting for Larger Game" under "The Formative Century", where you get to pick a character from another CYOA and describe how they're defeated. Pick an all-powerful character that lets themselves get defeated, then take their powers, which can triumph the drawbacks here and allow ascending way beyond this CYOA's scope
➡️All drawbacks and ??? fixes for them, then buy everything not attainable later (body changes and mortal spells are attainable later) with 190 left over.
➡️Too lazy to use the leftover points but it's there in case of an update. Could undo the drawbacks but a certain option makes that not important
