The Watchlist - A social tool

I have a "to Watch" list that is populated through recommendations that come up in conversation. It is so long that it is overwhelming to look at. I realized that this document is actually a way to make others feel heard, because I do care about their recommendations, but I don't have enough time or resources to watch that movie. Does anyone else have a watch list, or a read list that is more for the benefit of others than yourself?

VR Theremin 1.0

Image
Ever since I was little I wanted a Theremin. Only now, after I built one on UE4 (the Unreal Engine 4) have I discovered my inability to play it. I bet you guys can do better though! Use Paypal to  drop me a tip if you want, but you can download it for free.  If you have ideas for features, comments on the project, or just want to talk, leave comments or tweet me.  If it makes $100 bucks I can apply to Greenlight on Steam!

Invading the Elemental Plane of Fire

So the Elemental planes have been locked in combat for ages. For the climax of an upcoming campaign, I need to figure out how Water would invade Fire. Lets do the math. The Gate spell says it can link two portals across planes and can be anywhere from 5 to 20 ft in diameter. 20ft is 6096mm. The pressure of the elemental plane of water is no greater than "being under a few feet of water" so lets say, ten. Pressure under 10ft of water is 0.298907. The gate spell also states "Deities and other planar rulers can prevent portals created by this spell from opening in their presence or anywhere within their domains." So, rather than cast the spell into the Palace, water forces would have to highjack some of the "Gate" spells around the edge of the city.  Roughly 14 million liters per minute! Or 6.5 olympic swimming pools a minute. I hope the sultan has flood insurance. Wall of Water says "You can make the wall up to 30 feet long, 10 feet high, and 1 foot t...

Tarot Five Room Dungeon Spread

Image
  I stared at the four cards. A "moving forward" spread. The first card represents the issue at hand The second represents the impediments in your way. After that, the third is what is motivating you to do something, and the fourth indicates what will help you achieve success. Fate couldn’t have dealt me cards that perfectly describes my situation, and yet here they were. Maybe my life is complicated enough that I could have applied these cards to several portions of my life. Yet, it’s hard not to believe in magic when it's sitting right in front of you. Five Page Dungeons are a storytelling shorthand applied to tabletop games. The spark jumped and I tried it.   From the INVERSION TAROT set illustrated by Jody Boginski Barbessi The Entrance/Guardian: Queen of Wands Inverted Demands attention?
