This idea is so much fun, I might just nab it for when I get to GM'ing

💎 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! Kobold Diviner’s Amulet
Wondrous item, uncommon ___

This necklace bears numerous rings and charms from its leather strap. The largest charm is a crystal ball, which is grasped by a draconic claw. While wearing the amulet, you can use an action to peer into its crystal ball and predict a number between 1 and 20. Then, roll a d20. If the result of the roll has a difference of no more than 2 from the predicted number, you magically foretell a sliver of future possibility. You then ask the GM one question about the events that will or can occur within the next 30 minutes, which must be able to be answered with either “yes,” “no,” or “uncertain.” At the GM’s discretion, the crystal ball may alternatively show you a visual answer. Once this property of the amulet has been used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn. You must be able to speak Draconic in order to use this property.

For example, you use the amulet and predict the number 14. You then roll a 16 on the d20, allowing you to ask the GM a question, such as “Will the prison guards be attentive for the next half hour?” The GM may then describe a vision in the crystal of a guard sleeping beside their post, or simply say “no.”

For the purposes of predicting a number on the d20, 19 and 20 are considered to have a difference of two from 1 and 2, respectively. Similarly, 20 and 1 are considered to have a difference of one. ___

Something that blows my mind about worm is how long the fight scenes are. Like we all know how wild it was when arc 8 is just one long fight scene, but it gets way crazier than that.

When I got to the S9000 around arc 23 I thought “that’s weird, doesn’t the ending come right after this?” And then the ending started right after that.

The ending of worm is essentially one action scene with some smaller action scenes in the middle of it and some brief breathers and it’s basically arc 25-30. That’s insane. Imagine pitching worm “it’s 30 arcs long and the last 1/6th of it is just the final battle”. It’s unbelievable.

But more shocking is that it works. The ending is so good. The timeskip almost ruins worm with how it kills the pacing and how the emotional beats (the wards feeling rejected by Taylor, Taylor reuniting with the undersiders, Taylor failing to stop Jack after two years of continuous effort, etc…) don’t land very hard. But the ending is long enough and all the crazy stuff they manage to squeeze into it manages to catch the reader up to the emotional level that the characters are operating on. And it all leads into Taylor’s insane final play that the book has been leading up. Both in the sense that it’s an escalation of the violence that she started in order to stop lung on her first night and in how the trauma she’s experiencing in failing forces mental state into feeing like she has to pull something off to make up for it, tying together the last sections of her character arc right at the end. It’s so crazy good.

'She didn’t know how long she might’ve been crying then. She only knew she had no hope of discerning it, stopping it. Her scalp ached and prickled as though her hair had been pulled once again, and as she felt her tears stream, hot and wet, she couldn’t find her will to defy them. [...]

Her fist, clasped tightly around her knight, found her lips in a fierce kiss. Jaw trembling, body quaking, she bit down on her knuckle.

“I can’t just find him under the bookshelf, Shikamaru,” she whimpered. “He’s really gone.”

A hand rested on top of hers. It didn’t force it away from her lips, only squeezed before trailing down to tug at her wrist gently.[...]

Her eyes creaked open — heavy, sticky and aching with tears — to find Shikamaru on his haunches in front of her. His eyes were heavy but bright, and once she met them for a moment, they fell to her bundled fists. [...]

Shikamaru looked up, and with a silent squeeze of her fists, she translated his silence.

I’m here.'

Idk of it's a coincidence but Jojo reminds of the cat from coraline, texture and all. Also I wonder if lilith makes eye contact with Jojo and something in her spirit just says something isn't right (yes I believe that Jojo is a human who panic-transformed into a cat)

lilith thinks he's just ugly. for now

last night i was reading about monika seleš and then started crying bc balkan women deserve the world even when it doesn’t deserve them

[newdayslinguine]

I need to try playing d&d again (bc i bought dice) but i only want to play campaigns where i can be like. Idk an orc or whatever (idk what you can be in d&d im really not that into it) but who is really into and super pretentious about candlepin bowling so all of his fighting he’s trying to show off his bowling moves.

rhea and shelly 4 and cherries :)

4: how crafty/resourceful are they?

rhea: hes extremely resourceful. in fact, he sources a lot of the cyberware he flips himself. he scavenges it from dead bodies in turf war zones. theyre not using it anymore!

hes also just generally a very resourceful techie, and has great skill in macgyvering stuff on the fly

shelly: shes pretty resourceful! she was trained to work on trauma team so she knows how to work fast and under pressure and make the best of a bad situation. shes gotten kinda soft though, nowadays she works from a more proper clinic– she got her start and her good reputation from a near perfect cyberarm install after a someones arm got blown off, right near ground zero.

🍒: does your character have a best friend? how long have they known each other? what do they like most about each other? how did they meet?

rhea: his answer to this would be no. he keeps to himself and doesnt really let anyone close. hes the most important person in his life.

that being said. sometimes jules she/hers him. and he does not do his normal line of snapping and asking how they know him like that.

rheas known jules a long time. they met when rhea worked at the collective. they like each other because they each see what they need to he for themselves in the other. thats also why they hate each other.

that being said, 'best friend' isnt the word id use for the relationship between jules and rhea. but i guess theyre his only friend.

shelly: yknow. i dont know. out of the characters i have established, id say jack the ripperdoc, but theyre honestly more work colleagues than that. and jack is like. anonymous. so i dont know who her best friend is. ill have to come up with one!

I was originally gonna go with 'Jingles the Jester' for Vesryn's clownsona, but my GM unfortunately said 'Vester the Jester' at some point so I'm sticking with that
