Choice of Games is a website specializing in online CYOAs. They have quite a catalog of games, ranging from science fiction to fantasy to realistic fiction and many in-between. Now, I'd like to focus on their first (and free) game, Choice Of The Dragon.

What's this game about?
We're a dragon in a fantasy setting. That's about it, really. Unlike their future games, this game is more of a "Choose your ending" experience, in which there are no bad or premature ends, just multiple ways for us to end our tale.

What if I want to play along?
https://www.choiceofgames.com/dragon/
This link will get you there.

Any other games I'd be interested in from this website?
https://www.choiceofgames.com
Be warned: While you can play free demos of most of the games here, you'll have to purchase the whole thing if you want the full experience. The main reason I picked this game was because it's free.

Now, let us start our journey of princess-kidnapping and knight-munching!

Journey of a thousand miles posted:

Let us begin.

A knight charges up the slope at you. His horse pounds at the ground, carrying the heavily armored warrior as if he were a child's doll. The knight sets his lance to attack you.

How do you defend yourself, O mighty dragon?

I take to the air with a quick beat of my wings.

I knock the knight from his horse with a slap of my tail.

I rush into his charge and tear him to pieces with my claws.

A puff of my fiery breath should be enough for him.

The first three choices are far too much effort to bother with for a single knight. Let's char-broil this idiot and get back to admiring our hoard.

A job well done posted:

You let loose an inferno of fire. The knight's horse is cooked nicely, and your stomach lets out a deafening rumble as the smell of roast destrier reaches your nostrils. The knight himself staggers to his feet. His armor managed to keep him alive, but only barely.

Do you finish him off, victorious dragon?

Of course! How dare he attack me?

I let him live to warn others of my immense power.

Eh. Now that the threat is ended, he is beneath my concern.

Terror and hatred in a dragon cave posted:

"Begone, petty human. To attack me is to meet your doom," you growl.

The knight stumbles away as quickly as he can, not even daring to pretend that he could still fight you.

You know, it's going to get annoying to keep calling you "great and mighty dragon." What is your name?


Gorthalon.

Sssetheliss.

Calemvir.

These names are all terrible! (Custom name)

I KNEW I shouldn't have opened the suggestion for custom names. Okay, new rule: Whenever I play one of these games, the custom suggestion will always be one of my own choosing, and goons are not allowed to write their own ones. I'm sorry, but with all the custom names, I won't be able to get a majority vote to choose from. In this case, replace the custom vote with "Kisegawa".

gently caress gender, forever posted:

I, ah, I mean, yes! Of course! How churlish of me.

But, O mighty Gorthalon, I feel I should let you know that this game is full of choices; indeed, it is nothing but multiple choice questions that determine the course of your adventures as a dragon. If you don't enjoy answering questions, this game may not be for you!

Do you…I mean, if I may, would you like to specify your gender after all?

Very well.

I said no.

More important matters posted:

Well, let's just leave it undetermined, then!

As you think about it, the knight's attack was probably inevitable. After all, you did just kidnap the princess from right out of her tower. Although…

Isn't it a little sexist to always kidnap princesses?


Maybe, but tradition demands that dragons kidnap princesses, even if that is sexist.

You dare question my actions?

You know, I never thought about that before. In fact, I think I kidnapped a prince, just to avoid being sexist.

I'll have you know that I make a careful point of alternating between princes and princesses, but it happened to be time for a princess.
