"Moot" is a funny word.

I think that EVERY time I listen to "Jesse's Girl" by Rick Springfield.

I found a bug!

"Raleris needs help interpreting an ancient scroll, and Ygraine of Segovia is the only person who can help. Which is unfortunate since Raleris and Ygraine of Segovia apparently must grudgingly accept the help of Raleris, the Lorekeeper but is secretly being manipulated by The Eightfold Lotus."

Raleris grudgingly accepting his own help. Seems legit!

Sadly (or fortunatley, if looking for humor) that's a bit of a known issue: That prompt has a hardcoded "Raleris" and draws from $planeswalker. Theoretically, we could bust it by creating an $rplaneswalker list, which is exactly like $planeswalker but without "Raleris, the Lorekeeper" and call that. We could do the same with Raiker and Raiker writes a poem, and Agumund and Agmund Investigates once he ends up in $planeswalker (Illarion and Clade's prompts don't call $planeswalker. Clade's can never call it and Illarion's would have to call an $interaction that itself calls $encounter) but it seems a lot of lines of code for each prompt, and a lot of updating sublists whenever we add a new PW (says the guy who went and made a billion sublists)

Glad folks are having fun with the generator, though!

I got the one with the gathering of allies in the pub three times in a row, and the one with the band twice after that.

Oddly, Aloise was the one that 'can she be trusted?' or 'Is she truly as epic a guitar player as she claims' all five times.

I think the generator is telling us something

Good luck with that Mary!



Fisco, Clade and Raleris aligned. Makes sense!



Or he could just... see any doctor anywhere.



Where does she come up to on Illarion? His knee?



No one's ever done that before!

Right! I'm going to write a micro-story because I said so. And it will be terrible. And it will be the first thing Lia Xin planeswalks to the miniature plane Segovia. There, she briefly encounters Cara Holis .that comes up from the prompt generator (well, if it isn't Denner being romantically involved with a bird)

"Morgan of Voor interrupts a battle between Kimberley Talon and a newly ascended Planeswalker: a Spawn Skeleton Fox Berserker"

Hmmm no.

"Raiker Venn has decided to write a new poem about Aamir. Poor Aamir."

My poetry sucks so no. (I think the spirit of this is being subverted right now)

Ew Denner now it's an octopus you are getting romantically involved with?

"Lia Xin planeswalks to the miniature plane Segovia. There, she briefly encounters Cara Holis"

Fine. At least this will be really short.

Wait why am I doing this my writing sucks. NO DONT READ IT

Just added a new prompt. It's basically a "So-and-so is attacked by ________" prompt, but it has several variations. Here's one of them:



And, here's another one:



And, a third:



There are, obviously, other options. Enjoy! (I think I worked out all the bugs I originally built into this one...)

Oh, come on Kimberley. Keter's not THAT bad. Well, what's left of it, anyway.


Wow. Apparently Jade plays dirty.


I get the feeling that no matter what the cards show, the loser here is Ihn Gallad...


"Seriously, a wombat! I'm an Archmage! How did I not see it coming?"


"How am I supposed to cast my Explosive Vegetation with one little forest!"

Ah, I'm so glad nobody was mad at me! Thank you Tevish.

This mini-story thing is amazing, so I'm going to write a story consisting entirely of selectively quoting prompts that tell a story... based on whatever prompt I get first, no matter how silly.

No duh. Alright, the game is on...

Looks like somebody else got the AEther vent.

OK, this is harder than I expected. I haven't gotten anything further yet.



This has nothing to do with the story, but the double nested conspiracy is funny.

Also unrelated, but could be yet another alternative event for dark!Illarion.




Actually plausible...?

Ainok on Theros? Bonus points for adding another prompt that uses the tavern generation.

How is this surprising? That's what they do.

This made sense until the very end there.

Also, army of Dwarf Ninjas.

I envision the narrator really over-emphasizing the first "apparently," which for whatever reason is really funny to me...

"I just don't want to remember what I saw..."



Every single part of this is so, so wrong.

Don't druids have to be ? A druid made of pure mana?

The dark!Illarion saga takes another alternate timeline turn!

More creature type shenanigans.

Is boneitis even a real disease?

I don't even know how a Whale Soldier is possible.

Quoting this for getting Grixis and necrotic plague in the same result.

If they aren't planning on destroying it, I don't think they can be called heroes Daneera. Also why did you ask that in a bar with Ellia in it?

"This doom artifact? Yeah, it's cool and all, but it wasn't the one I was looking for. Here, catch!"

That's a strange combination.

It had an arc-welder?

Fungus Avatar!!!!

I don't think this works for dark!Illarion even as an alt.-alt. timeline

.Once again, the Duchess is not the person to turn to for help, people. Seriously!

Sadly, the Wandering Metathran only serves fruit juice and soda pop.

A strange error: the pronoun "he" go dropped.


I'm really enjoying the Attack prompt.

Ah, I figured it out. Apparently, the "how much trouble" concept is calling [[#protagonist,as gender]|[#antagonist]], but it didn't like the #antagonist trigger because it will not have been defined yet, because the second 'walker comes after this call. I'll edit the #antagonist out and it should clear that up.


Good, I'm glad!

*slowly nods head*

I think is what we get if Krish doesn't interrupt with more horrors of the Dual Walkers... passing the Vent off to someone of decent character. Not sure how she got burned, though, with purchase being a thing.


Not as cool as the Laughing Assassin, but very fitting


Well, at least he's coming from somewhere fitting


I assume he spited her somehow, so she gets out her frustrations by having him brought down by a normal rat.


I have a feeling that vampire is toast if it's less badass than Edgar Markov or Baron Sengir.


"Run! Run! The world is about to blow! ... Also, eew."


Apparently the metathran druid runs a pub.


I'd be more worried about the Eldrazi sidekick.


I do hope Gruff's not in over his head.

...


Who am I kidding, he's in over his head in a wading pool.


The generator seems to ship these two, dark timeline or no

I put that one in for you buddy.
Never forget!

So, I've been thinking about trying to use the creature list and some other indexes to put together a walker generator.

There aren't a lot of options for a worse sidekick out there.


Barinellos, here's my stab at a start:

On [planes] a [creature,#walker] [is pondering [concept] when [planeswalker][interaction][#walker]|[interaction][encounter]|is attacked by a [creature]]. As a result, the [#walker] ascends in a moment of [glory|bewilderment|triumph|stark terror|sublime enlightenment|rage|giddy joy] and stumbles into [planes]! Is Dominia ready for [name], the [adjective][#walker]?

But then you need a name generator...


Edit: I started testing one...
Got some issues here.

That's a bit better...

Now it's broken again. I'm not sure why restoring that one # call broke the definition.

OK, taking [encounter] out of it seems to have fixed the brokenness, but now it's clear that using [adjective] isn't a great choice.

I was thinking of something more bare bones and divorced of the story generator.
Collecting class, discipline, attitude, and race together, but leaving out name.
Maybe with a point of origin. The idea of how they ascended is a pretty good one though, but the generator would be more about triggering design ideas than trying to make it narratively cogent.

A [gender,#gender] [||[PWmod]] [PWrace] [class] has ascended on [planes], in [ascension]! [|Now [#gender,as gender] [walktype] [planeswalks], and there [interaction] [[encounter]|[encounter]|[encounter]|[encounter] and [encounter]|[encounter] and [encounter]| [encounter], [encounter], and [encounter]] [|and later [interaction] [encounter]]]

$gender
Male {gender:he}
Female {gender:she}
Nongendered {gender:it} {10%}
(Other options for non binary) {?%}
Raiker Vennian {gender:that ****} {1%}

$PWmod
All mods capable of being appended to planeswalkers (not undead)

$PWrace
All races for which there is a known or probable sapient version (Humanoids, animals, and some iconics)

$ascension
A moment of glory
bewilderment
triumph
stark terror
sublime enlightenment
rage
giddy joy
fear of their life
the middle of a fierce battle
the middle of a compromising moment
