Why panic blindly about what may happen in the future, when you can read the prophecy and proceed to do a fully-informed panic about what will happen in the future?
Oracle: It’s lovely seeing your work. All that wonderful illumination. I just reveal what may come to pass, but this is art!
Prophet: No. I’ve come to learn that people are experts at self-deception, and Chosen Ones are no exception. You have to be blunter than the striking face of a maul designed to shatter siege golems, or your subjects will immediately creatively reinterpret your instructions to mean what they want to see, perusing their own direction directly into the jaws of ruin.
Oracle: Oh. So that’s why you’re a renowned children’s book illustrator.
A woman with dreads in a dress, or someone sleeping naked in a bed? Only fate will tell.
I wonder if the prophecy ends up shipping any of the characters together or gives away romance spoilers. Imagine seeing yourself as a parent to unborn children or similar ‘happily ever after’ scenarios.
Right now I'm gearing up for Rose City Comic Con in a few weeks, and I also got something SUPER SPECIAL in the mail along with all the new merch for the con. My prototype Deck of Many Things arrived finally, which means I can start doing the photography and getting the backerkit set up to actually make it a reality! Super excited, it looks fantastic and I'll be showing it off soon! It has genuinely taken multiple years now to finish all the art and get the prototype in my hands and I could not be more excited.
The Kickstarter for the animated short I’m a part of is launching soon, please go check it out! The team is AMAZING and I cry every time we watch an update of the animatic. This is gonna be an awesome story when it’s finished.
I’m the character designer for the film, which is written and directed by the amazing Danielle Olson, who is making something super special. I’ve gotten to work with such awesome people so far, and we’re hoping to submit to festivals once it’s finished!
Carnival Six Studio is going to be in the Artist’s Alley at Fanime! Come see me at the booth and I’ll have secret giveaways for fans of Facet (and Handbook fans, there’s stuff for you, too!) if you let me know you’re a reader! I’m gonna be road-tripping my way up the coast, it’s my first time at this con and I’m very excited for it! I hear the Night Market is especially fun, and I’m gonna try and check it out if I’m not totally dead on my feet at the end of regular show hours.
We reached a big milestone last week with our 250th token! We’re powering through all the race/class combinations are are looking at the home stretch for several variations!
That also means I’m gonna have to find time to put together the racial token packs that are finished–I think we’ve now got the human and half-orc packs finished and ready to be formatted!
Tokens are available at the Familiar level on my patreon and there is a weekly poll to decide on what designs are done next!

Laurel
Fully Informed Panic seems like a much better plan, I agree.
Schattensturm
They trust way too much into a prophecy of dubious origin 🙁
Laurel
But why have protagonists if they’re not gonna make poor choices sometimes?
glmdgrielson
Actors sitting in the green room, having nothing better to do while waiting for their cue than reading The Script™.
Laurel
The question is whether or not the script is even the correct one for the next few scenes!

I think even if you are extremely unsubtle, there are still people who will willfully misinterpret, sadly…
Merchant of Pain
Prophet: DO AS I SAY, NOT AS YOU DAYDREAM!!!
Oracle: E… easy there partner…
Laurel
Such is the unfortunate existence of oracles…
Kammon
Will they read in the prophecy about them reading about themselves in the prophecy?
Laurel
It’s certainly a terrifying possibility. Looking into infinity like that is not for the faint of heart!

Oh man, that would leave a lot of problems in its wake. Being told that you’re ‘going’ to fall in love with someone is a potential mindfuck.
