@Rivalarrival

Well, the thing she definitely (but not proveably) stole is basically something like a mix between the Millenium Puzzle, the Lament Configuration, and the Behelit. Very very bad news to have stolen, and under normal circumstances the only person to have a motive to steal it would be the next dark lord.

I don't think so. We're going to see *normal* malice from government employees. For example, the macguffin she stole was being displayed in a museum as bait for Baby Voldemort, who happens to be her best friend. Normally the dark lordling isn't a team player and would just charge in and grab it, so there was a security team to nab anyone who tried to steal it and then Get Rid Of Them. Obviously detaining people for pre-crime is not legal, so this was a secret operation.

@Ziggurat
Huh. I never considered that. I think i need to rework her backstory a bit, since I wrote that she'd already been to juvie once in 2nd grade when she turned the school bully into a speedbump. If there's a minimum age for criminal liability, what would happen to that murder charge?

Fantasy setting, gonna be inspired by America because that's what I know. Main change is that lawyers are, by nature of the magic system, always wizards. The actual story takes place in magic school, and this isn't the main character so the trial isn't going to be given much attention.

For context, the macguffin in question is something like a cross between the Millenium Puzzle and the Lament Configuration. It takes a powerful mind and will to solve it, and the sort of people who are drawn to it will do great things—terrible, yes, but great. It's reasonable to assume this 10-year-old middle-class white girl stole it because she's going to grow up to be the next Voldemort, so I think its reasonable for the judge to throw the book at her.

I just realized I used the wrong word in the post. Strattera is only available as a capsule.

Thanks. The pictures give me a pretty good idea of the scale of these things.

 

I've never seen such a stressed-out sleeping face.

Based on the way he was twitching, I'm betting he was having a nightmare about fighting over a treat.

@ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling I really wish I wasn't living in "a nation of suckers" as the movie puts it

 
 

Tbh the 196 drama was more fun to be here for than when I logged in on 12/30 to see Dansup had been having a meltdown for six hours straight over 3rd party apps

@onehundredninetysix

He's deleted everything now, as he should have. But the damage is done.

 

My mortal enemy: Names!

@writing

Outlining a book with four chosen-one type protags. I don't like the names I came up with. I need better ideas, if you'd be so kind?

  1. Harrison "Harry" Bach: Destined to become the Attorney Supreme. Terry's BFF
  2. Tiresias "Terry" Garanhir: Chosen by the Drover's Crook. He talks to critters.
  3. Minthe "Minty" Garanhir: Future Dragonslayer. She's Terry's twin.
  4. Adulphine "Alfie" Mordred: Carries the Curse of Cadmus (she's becomng a dragon)

They're afraid!

@196

I think the health insurance companies are actually taken by surprise by the amount of people who sincerely wish them death. Maybe we will see some almost-meaningful change soon?

 

Ironic, isn't it? To spend your whole life denying coverage, only to be denied coverage yourself in the end?

@196

The message on the bullets was hilarious too

 

Let's Make Better Rpg Currencies

I'm curious what currency systems my fellow #ttrpg GMs have dreamt up when #worldbuilding.

It's always annoyed me how #dnd's gp/sp/cp currency resembles the USD system so much in the way it is used, despite the fact that IRL a single gold coin would be worth more than my car. Does #WotC think my backpack is worth $8k? That makes no sense to me.

 

My favorite pastime is telling people all about skinny pigs.

@guineapigs

"Here's a picture of a scrotum with a mustache. He will never know what warmth feels like. If you want him, you're going to have to pick between his happiness and safety. If you want him to be happy and get him a friend to live with, when they argue his friend will bite him in the rump, and he's going to be constantly sick. If you want him to be safe, just get him, but he might actually die of loneliness."
