Its here!!!

My Azurite Paper Charm from the Wizard Race (hosted by @wizardweekly ) came in today!

I've said it before, but the game was incredibly fun, and I'm excited for the next one!!!!!

Nervous wizard alert 👉👈

Icewind dale2: gnome paladin/illusionist multiclass.

I imagine he's also party's surgeon, using illusion spells for anesthesia and paladin's healing spells to facilitate recovery.

Honesty, I see these two more as siblings than as a couple

You're nervous, Potter?

from @jegulus-microfic's prompt, nervous (269 words)

“Nervous?” James asks with a smirk and a daring look in his eyes. His elbows propped on Regulus’ car window, and he’s leaning a bit inside Regulus’ passenger compartment. Their faces are close to one another.

It’s not the first time Regulus participates in an illegal race; it’s in fact, far from being the case. But James likes to tease his rival. They’re always like that before a race. And James loves seeing Regulus getting mad. He always has hopes to make him lose his focus, so he’d win the race. Some might say it’s unfair play; but in the end it’s really just how illegal races are.

The neon lights light up Regulus’ face in blue and pink, but his look remains focused, even though quite burning; Regulus has something in mind, and James isn’t sure what it is. Maybe he has a special advantage for today’s race. But he’s unreadable. James plunges in his gaze with intent.

“No,” Regulus answers, very low, and James is sure he’s the only one who heard that. And before he can process anything, Regulus grabs his t-shirt, and pulls him closer, closing the distance between them.

When their lips touch, James opens his eyes wide, before melting. Regulus’ lips are soft and so good against his, he forgets everything around him.

It doesn’t last long; much to James dismay, and when Regulus leans back in his seat, James instinctively chases after Regulus’ lips. It makes Regulus smirk.

“Nervous, Potter?”

James blinks dumbly, completely lost. With a faint blush on his cheeks, he walks to his car and gets inside of it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE WONDERFUL ALFRED MOLINA!!!!!!

[silvantransthranduiltrash]

Listen, what if the blue wizards, when they went to the east, were converted into believing in the old/avari gods?

Like, it’s not that they forgot/don’t believe in the valar, but some of the shit they’ve seen could not have been possible wihout divine intervention and they know for a fact that none of the ainur were responsible, ergo: the elves from lake cuivinen/the silvans/avari were onto something when they started praying to Akami, Okrea, Zeht, etc.

[forcedhesitation]

I'm actually rather surprised that not a single one of the boys made top three. but then again, I suppose the large number of straight men that play this game are not as visible in fan spaces as us lgbt. That is...a fortunate thing, though, I'd argue.

I am laughing so hard. I took a d&d alignment test and one single point saved me from being chaotic evil.

I survived the

WIZARD RACE

Anyways I'm gonna talk about it now. no readmore because mobile tumblr is dumblr, sorry.

So, only slightly relevant to anything, but I did the entirety of the game during the school day. Started around 11:30, but I didn't find my first charm until about 12:45 (I had to go to an assembly then eat lunch)

Finding the charms was a pretty fun challenge, the only one I didn't get on my own was the heart (thanks for that one @wizardgoblin )

had to take another break after submitting the charms because I had to get back to school, by that time 3 people were already done. No big deal to me, all I wanted was top 13. So I do my work for that class and open Tumblr again to start phase 2.

This is a good point to say I love codes and cyphers, so I was very excited at the idea of the next part, only to metaphorically fall on my ass because I forgot that the actual question was on the main post about the game. Once I found that again I copied it onto a sheet of paper so I could write out the sounds as I figured them out. And so the teacher of my next class wouldn't flay and crucify and sous ve me for using my phone, but more so i could write my thoughts.

This bastard. (affectionate)

That symbol right there caused me the most trouble of everything, I thought for a moment I was going mad because I couldn't find anything like it in the sample text. But you know what? I think it's better that way. Made me think harder. I was kinda skipping around on words while translating, going for the easy words first then the words that I felt would be important. Decided I would hold off on this word and skipped back to the line above it to solve the big word up there. Catchphrase. And the last word was "Weekly". I realized then that this had to be "Wizard".

I'm glad that the "z" sound wasn't in the passage, it made me think harder about the puzzle, and that was fun in hindsight.

(please ignore the blatantly mistranslated word on the second row.)

Unfortunately I don't have timestamps for exactly when i entered the maze, but it was probably around 3:40, as I remember realizing school was about to be over, which meant I'd have to drive home before finishing if I didn't get through fast.

MAZE SPOILERS AHEAD. DO NOT READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE IT RUINED FOR YOU. DO READ IF YOU'RE STUCK AND WANT TO PLACE. IM NOT YOU MOM.

On the first page of the maze there were three options to choose where to go. I translated the first option, If I recall correctly it was scoundrel. Did not want to deal with that, the second option I couldn't translate immediately, so I skipped to the third option. Merchant. Sounds safe enough, I should go there.

So I did.

Reading the options, and knowing I was at a merchant, I decided to barter, and got an item. Cool. Sick even. So I move on.

[something] [STRENGTH] [STEALTH]

Decided to go stealth, and remembering how the merchant went, I choose the stealth option. Made it out with a cool gem. Encountered the dragon. Decided I didn't want to give up the candle and tried using the gem. Back to the start. Same path with the merchant, chose the option i didn't translate for the monster, and decided to try and charm it. Sandwich aquired. Not a good offering, back to the start. Merchant and gem? Close but no. Finally, I decided to try and fight the monster. It worked, and the item visually matched what I got from the merchant much more that the other items, sure enough, it was a good enough offering, and I got to move on.

Last part of the maze. 14 options, one was correct, spotted it immediately. Escaped at 3:57 pm ctz, day one of the race.

Honestly, I thought the game was fun! The maze was slightly easier than the cypher, for better or for worse, but that also could have been on me by refusing to try the other routes at the start of the maze. I can't wait to see what future events have waiting for us! Thanks for hosting this @wizardweekly

lmao, someone tagged my original ttrpg writing as "homebrew"

somehow worse than calling it dnd

[playstationgamemania]

[candycat17]

Just made a new edit with ✨them✨

[mochizuke-creates]

Ok so for our homebrew dnd game- my character mayyyy or may not have made a deal with a 9 tailed fox deity and it mayyyy or may not permanently change his appearance sooooo had to draw the back up reference jusssst in case.

[apocalyp-tech-a]

Some of my favorite moments and takeaways from Episode 4 'Faster' ('That's what she said'). 🤐😇

Got to hear Tech say the phrase 'nerf nuggets.'

More nice hand shots - slow reach for the blaster and a super cool tool twirl like a drummer.

That sigh...I cackled.

Intensely concentrating racing Tech.

A cute little moment of putting his hand on Omega's shoulder.

Not to mention Tech's very calm and reserved attitude: he does not know enough about something to offer an opinion and his studying of the track and racers strategies to come up with his own is just so Tech. 🥰

And last but not least, my headcanon come to reality that Tech can indeed race, and was very happy to do it. "Fascinating," he said. Just following in the footsteps of his bestie Anakin Skywalker! 🙃

All in all, I would say that was a super wizard episode!
