“Come on you orc fuck, you're slowin' us down!” Xarvir’s shrill voice pierced Jemm'bo’s ears despite the hushed tone he spoke in. The tiefling had a wild grin on his face as he messed with his comrade. Of course, slow and steady was often the best way to handle these sorts of missions. They both knew that. But that wouldn’t stop Xarvir from giving his old friend a hard time. With a swift movement Jemm'bo rolled in front of Xarvir, a hand placed to the sheath at his side to ...
The princess sat on her throne, a look of deep contemplation resting on her face. She was so lost in thought, the scurrying steps of her forward scout completely evaded her attention. “M'lady, it grows closer.” The lithe young man said nervously. Princess Airabella placed a hand gently on the man’s shoulder, “I know Bernard… I know… Thank you for relaying your report, you are dismissed for today. Go try to relax for the night, okay?” A soft smile broke through ...
I've wanted to start developing small utility programs/apps for a long time. The idea being that they can provide me practice with a number of different kinds of development while producing software that myself (and potentially others) can use. To begin my journey into creating such utilities, I've made a dice rolling app for the Genesys](https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2017/6/27/genesys/) tabletop RPG system! The app was created with [React](https://reactjs.org/). This was actually my first ...
[WP] You are a Candle in a world of darkness, You can light yourself and see wonderful things… However staying lit means certain death as your wax melts away slowly… “So let me get this straight… you're… literally a candle?” “Yep.” “And you can actually choose whether your wick is lit or not?” “Mmhmm.” “So then why live in darkness? I feel like this must get pretty annoying after a while; I mean, I've only been here ...
[WP] For many, Arbor day is a barely noticeable holiday. For you, it is a grim reminder of what they took from you. “It’s hard being a druid in the 21st century.” Valerie thought to herself. Her kind had been forced into secrecy long ago. Many in their community blamed the so-called “industrial revolution,” but in truth it went back well beyond that. Humanity had lost its respect for nature early in its development. As soon as nomadic life stopped and civilization began, ...
[WP] Time travel finally is invented, and on your first travel, you find out there is a Time Travel God, that prevent any significant change in the timeline, by any means necessary. “You won’t believe what I saw in there…” “Try me.” “Gods are real… And we ticked ‘em off…” “Trevor, did you just say gods? As in, more than one?” “‘fraid so, Dan. Now, if we're gonna finish our mission, we'll need to kill ...
[WP] Like Popeye, you to have a superpower that is activated by eating a specific food. That food: mayonnaise. All my life, I was mocked. They called me slow, told me I wouldn’t amount to nothin'. Said I was too fat. Said I was worthless. And you know what? For a while, I believed ‘em. That is, until I discovered my big secret. Ever since then, I learned to stop giving a fuck about just about everything. And that’s what lead me to where I am now. My friend needed help. My friends need ...
[WP] You work at a magic support helpdesk and the newest spell compendium just dropped. It has some…interesting bugs. Norton frantically pushed the talk button, and moments later a plucky female voice greeted him through the receiver, “1-800-DO-MAGIC, this is Jessica speaking. May I please have your name and the nature of your problem?” Norton spoke through gritted teeth, struggling against his desire to scream, “Y-yes Jessica, I… My name’s Norton and… Well ...
[TT] I reached the summit, looked up at the sky, and screamed The dwarves' attack was swift and entirely unexpected. Even the elves, as great as their magic is, were unable to scry the beginnings of war. We believed the land of Yrinx had finally entered into a time of peace. We were fools, every last one of us. In their subterranean halls, the dwarves constructed war machines the likes of which none in our world had ever seen. Huge contraptions of steel and fire burst forth from the tunnels they'd ...
[WP] Lucifer is appointed lead researcher for the ‘Eden Project’, by God, and tasked with artificially recreating free will. The Garden is a controlled testing environment and Adam & Eve are the teams first, and last, success. “Free will… What defines it? What is its essence? I cannot create that which I cannot understand…” Lucifer gripped the clay model of a human in his hand, crushing it beneath his fingers. His gaze passed slowly over the garden. His eyes ...
