CYOA is short for Choose Your Own Adventure, and this thread is a place to share the image versions that are commonly posted on 4chan's /tg/ (or from elsewhere).
What is this?
It's sort of a one person roleplaying game. Someone posts one or more pics containing a number of options. It might involve you, personally. (Potentially turning it into a weird psychology test.) Or you could be making choices on behalf of some character. You try to make the "best" choices possible.
Ideally you also make a short post in this thread with your choices, and why you made them. I suggest not reading other peoples replies before posting. It's more interesting that way.
What is it not?
It's not a free-form play-by-post roleplaying game. I'm not "recruiting". There is no campaign, and no GM.
Now what?
Unless the thread crashes and burns, or I suddenly lose interest, I'll be posting CYOA pictures I've saved. I'll try to space them out over time. Obviously other people are encouraged to post their favorites as well, or even better, original content. (I'd appreciate it if you don't dump your entire folder at once though, if you have lots. Quality over quantity.)
Rather than try to explain in more detail, I'll just start with a variant of one of the more popular CYOAs, the "Power Armor CYOA". It involves more math than most CYOAs, but the concept is fun and well executed.

Metalstorm 20
Scout Drone 5
Environmental Controls 0
Camouflage 10

Memory Palace 5
Veteran Soul 5

I feel the need ... the need for speed. :D
I have several excellent utility features, like regeneration and no need for sleep. Sure, I can't take a hit, but if I'm wearing my armor I can fly away invisibly at great speed at the first sign of trouble. And if I really need to kill something, overloaded metal storm with +3 firing rate adds up to a lot of dakka. Canvas II lets me disappear if/when I'm "outed" as an armor holder.
