OOC: Crowdsource Tarot Readings!

[sythyry]

I'm going to do Crowdsource Tarot readings tonight.  Ask a question in a comment; I will give it a shorter or longer answer as a comment.  I'll edit this to say "Too Late" when I'm done for the night.

Edit: Bedtime is 11:00, and I've got all I can handle before then!

If you have an important question that you want an answer for soon, ask it and I'll answer tomorrow.  (Crossing my palm with Paypal wouldn't hurt on getting that answer, y'know?)  Otherwise, I'm going to do this now and then!

Mufi and I are writing a game. What have we been forgetting, that we should do before the game is done?

Mufi and I are writing a game. What have we been forgetting, that we should do before the game is done?

Spiderweb, reversed
A large black spider checks her web to find a tiny fairy caught in it.
Meaning: You are caught in a situation from which it may be impossible to extricate yourself.

Avocado, reversed
A pretty waitress presents a halved avocado in both hands, her position hinting at other pleasures.
Meaning: The offer is purely commercial. Enjoy yourself as you think best, but guard your diet, your wallet and your heart.

You need to remember that, in the market of games, you are pretty small and pretty powerless. No matter how pretty your game is, you will need to be very careful that you get the benefit of it.

Klutz
A harlequin is trying to juggle mystical symbols: a pentacle, an ankh, a crescent moon, a wand. Most of them lie scattered around his feet. He is reaching for one that is outside his grasp, and about to trip on the pentacle.
Meaning: You are trying to do too much at once, or something more ambitious than your skills allow.

The game you've got in mind is more than you and Mufi alone can do as well as you'd like. You have many friends and allies who would probably love to assist you. Call on them. (Yes, I am volunteering.)

Rooster
A rooster crows a welcome to the new dawn from the top of a fence, his tail and comb brilliant with firey colors. Goblins and tiny gnarled monsters flee into the shadows.
Meaning: Dawn is coming. The night and its terrors flee before the light. You can have a fresh start.

(1) You're gonna have to advertise it and make a big noise! Also, (2) Ooh, it's gonna be wonderful when it gets here!

Mecha
Two anime-style mecha duel with overly-adorned swords and energy blasts in front of a pagoda. The one that is facing the viewer has an open cockpit; a terrified androgynous Asian youth is piloting it.
Meaning: You don't think you can do this, but you can.

These are all second-order considerations. Of course you're forgetting stuff; that always happens. You are going to do most of what you wanted, and it'll be great.

Thank you for the thoughtful reading! We'll see you tomorrow!

I'll just take a moment to say that "leaving things out" is why games have supplements. Sometimes it's an overlooked idea that ends up expanding under pressure, and sometimes it's a deliberate "we won't cover this fully until the supplement is ready".
