This Is So Cool, Imagine If You Were Playing A Rogue. I Can't Think Of A More Fitting Way To Roll Skill

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:

How Does The Lock Dice Work?

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.

How Does The Lock Dice Work?

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

How Does The Lock Dice Work?

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!

God I love him and his work! He was a brilliant yet sadly troubled man. P.S. just watched Loving Vincent: It was Brilliant!

A beautiful statement

A 7th Century Irish Catholic Creed

Our God is the God of all men, the God of heaven and earth, of the sea and the rivers, God of the sun and the moon and all the stars, the God of high mountains and low valleys; God above heaven and in heaven and below heaven, He has His dwelling in heaven and earth and sea and in everything that is in them. He breathes in all things, makes all things live, surpasses all things, supports all things; He illumines the light of the sun, He consolidates the light of the night and the stars, He has made wells in dry earth and dry islands in the sea and stars for the service of major lights. He has a Son, coeternal with Him, similar to Him; the Son is not younger than the Father, nor is the Father older than the Son, and the Holy Spirit breathes in them; the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit are not separate.

Bishop Tírechán, Collectanea (26:8-11)

By far my favorite painter, although he was a troubled soul he truly did have a gift for color (and For self-portraits).

Wow, this artist's work is studio ghibli level amazing. The use of simplistic forms to portray a highly detailed narrative; it really does "paint a picture" (story) in my mind. What a world they have created.

This one really tripped me up when I first saw it. Amazing use of perspective and foreshortening in this work though. He was a master at it, foreshor.

Some sage advice that many people need to hear right now.

What happens when anxiety and depression takes over and you just can't write anything? I wanted to use lockdown to my advantage but I'm not well and I'm sad. Any advice?

Just know you aren't alone in this. I've written a fraction of what I should have written, over the last 4 months. The anxiety is real, there are many things to be anxious and depressed about.

So be kind to yourself. Set yourself small targets and goals. Be happy when you succeed, and forgive yourself when you fail.
