Wheel of Destruction - Character Selection

(See here for Introduction!)

Who should we play for this module? (Note: Characters have different skills and stats, and that may affect the outcome of the game! Choose carefully!)

Character sheets with stats, skills and equipment below the cut! (Or just go with your heart!)

(Fun fact: You may notice that Robin has a circus connection here. This module was published in 1985, so it's pre-Crisis canon!)

Kept these very fast and loose to try to break out of a creative slump. Based more off of vibes than silly trivial things like canon and facts and anatomy. None of these should be taken literally or metaphorically or physiologically or radiologically. Twice divorced gray eyesed Ian still lives rent free in my head sorry

SUNSPOT MENTIONED 100% REAL NOT FAKE NO CLICKBAIT

Re: Hiram and the Judgements. Presently, his soulless condition is the only thing that keeps him from going ballistic. He firmly believes in everyone's right to break the Chain and corrupt the Laws (there's a reason why he's so aligned with hell), but right now he has no idea how much the existence of the Judgements actually bothers him. They're a big problem of course, but they're nothing that he can't deal with, he just needs to add more pieces to the cosmic puzzle in his brain, just a few more dots on his personal red string board. He approaches them with irrational hubris and rational curiosity. Just like a cosmic Rubik's cube that's somehow capable of playing 5D chess.

But the minute he regains a soul? He's nuking those bastards. No Laws no Chain no chess no rubik cube. He has all the power of hubris AND sheer hatred on his side. Unprecedented levels of being So Fucking Mad about the current state of the universe. The stars think they're so funny, well he's about to be hilarious. He's sooo ready for the sunless skies timeline.

Roy, Love at First Sight (1977), Part 6/?

[rassilon-imprimatur]

SUSAN: “I can't, Mister Chesterton. You can't simply work on three of the dimensions.”

IAN: “Three of them? Oh, time being the fourth dimension, I suppose? Then what do you need E for? What do you make the fifth dimension?”

SUSAN: “Space.”

“DOCTOR: Yes, the planet Quinnis, of the fourth universe.”

VICKI: “Time [fourth dimension], like space [fifth dimension], though a dimension in itself, has dimensions of its own.” 

THE RILLS: “Though we are beings of separate planets, you from the solar system and we from another space, our ways of thought, at times, do not seem all that different.”

MALPHA: “Suppose they send a message through this universe?”

[...]

MALPHA: “This is indeed an historic moment in the history of the universe. We six from the outer galaxies, joining with the power from the solar system, the Daleks!”

Revisiting this post of mine after rewatching Galaxy 4 and fixating on the Rills’ phrasing a little. Playing with the Hartnell era’s outdated (often intentionally) or kitschy, already rusted “space-age” approach to cosmology. 

The outdated way of viewing galaxies as “island universes,” the idea of “galaxy” and “universe” being interchangeable terms. “Space” as something just as surreal, strange, as “Time,” with multiple dimensions of its own. The reverberation, the haunted humming, of evil and machine monsters tapping into a sort’ve “cosmic unreality.” The night sky endless “island universes” drifting past, beside, and through each other. Different galaxies, sure, but evidently equal as different dimensions, entirely different definitions of “space” and “universe.” Different properties. Dreamlike. Child’s logic. 

And this approach to space sort’ve slips away textually with Troughton, replaced with the eerie, spooky sense of vast space, of whole worlds and universes hidden in the folds of humming velvet black, but it still... I dunno. 

And it’s all so... empty. 

Perhaps, to jump a few eras and (extreme) aesthetics later, distressingly empty.

We’ve seen a few little clips in the trailers of Lan fighting in this last episode. I hope we get to see Moiraine throw some fire balls. What better way for them to celebrate Moiraine getting her powers back than by obliterating their enemies together.

My 2025 resolution that I'm starting early is to listen to random music genres chosen via wheel almost daily except I'm being slightly insane in creating several subgenre wheels too and everytime I land on musical theater I'm just gonna spin it again because I'm already forced to listen to it via my younger sibling who is a theater kid
