These Are Really Cool And They Give Me A Lot Of Conceptual Story Ideas.

This is so cool, imagine if you were playing a rogue. I can't think of a more fitting way to roll skill checks.

How does the lock dice work?

Sorry this took a minute to respond to, things have been nuts over here...

Okay! So, it’s actually a very simple design! The whole thing comes in two parts, like this:

On the left is the lock-shaped housing, on the right is the lockpick, which has all the numbers 1-20 arranged around the outer edge of the disc. The bottom of the lockpick disc comes to a point, like a spinning top, which is exactly what it is.

You thread the lock over the pick so the pick emerges from the keyhole in the lock, like this:

Now your lockpick die is all set. When it’s time to do a skill check, you hold the lock down with one hand for stability, and you twirl the lockpick with the other like a spinning top. After a moment, use your finger to nock the lockpick firmly down and reveal the result of your “roll”.

The window above the keyhole shows the number. In this case, I “rolled” an 18.

From behind, you can see the disc has teeth all around the edge, and there’s a point at the bottom of the lock that will catch between those teeth when you nock the pick to ensure it lands properly on one number instead of coming up between them.

And that’s how the lock-and-pick d20 works!

That was splendiforous, and by that I mean it made me lmfao!

Roses are red, that much is true, but violets are purple, not fucking blue.

These are beautiful, so atmospheric I wish I could step right into them.

“Hope” by Lilian Myburgh of South Africa.

I have always had a love of what we now call “Steampunk”; ever since the first time I read Jules Verne.

This bold, graphic quilt features intricate piecework, excellent use of contrast and free motion quilting. I love how if feels antique and modern at the same time.

I need a collection of bookmarks.

I got a couple new bookmarks today, and I thought it would be a good time for a bookmark appreciation post featuring some of my favorites.
