Reblog This If You Think Writing Is An Art

Theme Week #15: Rogue 🗡

I was really looking forward to rogue week, not only because they’re a popular class, but because they happen to be a great excuse to show off my “how to run a heist” system. Enjoy feeling like a criminal genius as your party faces down these challenges while you slip around and head straight to the prize. 

Criminal Machination: A steam/dieselpunk adventure arc where the party tales on the role of a heist crew, carrying out the orders of a mysterious voice broadcasting between radio-waves. These random crimes build to a head as the party delves into a hidden military research site, and the true secrets of their patron are revealed. Also they get an airship, ain’t that cool?

Puzzles and Lockpicking: d&d needs more minigames, simple to implement but with more mechanical engagement than just a flat d20 roll. Here’s my attempt to do something for lockpicking… and possibly some other complicated things like code-breaking, arcane research, or exorcisms. 

The Beloved of Imyya: I wanted to flip the classic snake cult/assassin’s guild on it’s head by making them champions of a colonized people. What I ended up with was a very interesting political faction that players could join if they proved they had the right ethos, in order to learn some alchemical secrets/cool snake based martial arts. 

The Lost Treasures of Alfreth’s Isle: Posing as monster hunters dealing with a giant spider problem gives the party access to a fortified island in a flooded mountain valley that was once used by an ancient king as a vault for all his treasures. Since the destruction of that particular royal line, the island was ruled over by a monastic order of scribes, who guarded the king’s riches despite not quiiiite knowing where all of it might be located. With only a few days of shore time and a silk-thin excuse allowing them to operate on land, the crew will need to move fast if they want to heist the isle’s forgotten vaults. 

Thieves we Be: A full campaign adventure compilation where the party starts off as a group of scoundrels fleeing a job that’s gone very, very, VERY bad. With their last leader possibly bleeding out in the carriage ride over and a disused country tavern as their safehouse, the party will need to pull off a daring series of heists to get themselves back on top.  With sidequests varying from exploring a coast full of hurricane demolished temples to haggling with goblin moonshiners to taking tea with an introverted and grandmotherly lich, this arc is sure to keep your party entertained and engaged for ages while they chase that next big prize. 

It's pretty accurate, but I don't think I'm that sensitive. Thanks for the tag :)

things fictional couples do that make me lose my mind + writing prompts

taking each other’s hands during a stressful situation, instantly reliveing the pressure of the situation

smiling in-between kisses

during a hug, one of them pulls the other closer, followed by the other one nudging their head into the crook of their lover’s neck

forehead kisses

they’re in bed, one of them’s like “it’s time to get up” and their lover pulls them back down, wraps their hands around their body, snuggles up close, preventing the other one from getting out of bed

forehead kisses but it’s the male being kissed on the head

dancing together, one of them takes the other’s hand, kisses it

saying “i love you” completely randomly

bantering, judging each other but in a way that’s like, what you’re doing right now, is really stupid, but you’re adorable and i can’t help but love you

when one of them is like… i don’t know… hurt or something… and the other one is just like… tending to their wounds… and then just like… wrap them into their arms… thankful that they’re alive…

when one of them is hurt by the antagonist… and their lover goes… absolutely ballistic and does everything in their power to get to the person they love, to the point in which the antagonist and it’s crew have to physically restrain them… and it still doesn’t stop them… they jsut keep kicking… doesn’t matter what happens to them… doesn’t matter if they get beaten in the process… as long as their lover is safe…

when they haven’t seen each other for a while (bonus point if they’re not sure the other one is alive) and all this time they’ve been trying to stay strong, but when they reunite, they crash into each other’s arms, and completely breakdown…

“i’m not worthy of anybody’s love.” “that’s not true, you’re worthy of mine.” followed by the lover breaking eye-contact… + a love confession

when one of them has never had a proper birthday party for whatever reason, and their lover makes it their mission to give them the best day ever, followed by “you didn’t have to do all this for me. just being with you is enough.” “i know. but i thought you deserved ?’’ and their lover smiles, a kiss is shared

one of them being like… i’m totally getting off track here, but you’re like, really hot so i’m going to pick you up and throw you on the bed, followed by their lover smacking them on their head (gently) because they have important things to do

’‘you shouldn’t be here.” “i had to make sure you were okay.” silence. “can i come in?” more silence. you decide. angst or happy ending?

when they’re forced apart, and they get to say goodbye, and they cry, share a last kiss, holding hands until the very end, until they’re so far apart they have to let go…

any form of physical intimacy ever

one of them resting their head on the other’s lap, falling asleep

wearing their lover’s clothes! (also, “can I get my shirt back? ’'no.”)

being jealous! not to the point of it being unhealthy, just a moderate amount of cute jealously, in which their partner just laughs it off and gives them a kiss

a slow burn being like… i’m not in love with them! cut to scene of the person in question staring dreamingly at the object of their desire

when a character is falling in love, and their love interest is making them smile, and they’re flustered, blushing, in such a happy state of mind that they look to the ground, trying to hide their burning red cheeks

banter in which one of them’s like… “i love you” and the other person’s like “ok” and the first one’s like “say it back” and the other one’s just like “no 😝” and the first one gets frustrated because “why wouldn’t you say it back we always say i love you before we leave”

when they’re doing something outside, it’s dark outside, and one of them views something pretty in the sky, like a shooting star, or just the stars in general, and they pull their lover by the hand, all excited to watch the shooting star, and their lover looks at them in pure admiration

when it’s a slow burn, and the characters just look at each other like “fuck it i’m done with this” and kiss

edit: The character thinking “seriously? I love them?!!’’ because somebody reblogged the post saying that and it did something special to my heart

the person reblogging this from you is rooting for you to have a happy, healthy, and successfull 2022

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.
