Which reminds me, would one of you generator-savvy people add Tey'von to the roster?

It's been a while since I generated. Let's rectify that!


Quote:
The Magician Nasperge is bored, and decides to give an Aubedore reading to a Bell and Ogre.

Nasperge draws the Horse (inverted), the Dwarf, and the Angel, and declares his reading unclear.

He must be bored, if he's trying to give a reading to a tavern!


Quote:
Blink interrupts a conspiracy between Mattias the Tinkerer and Daneera and Tryst.

That would have to be one strange conspiracy.


Quote:
Denner Fabellian begins searching for The Divinity. But things are rarely simple and matters take a serious turn when Kirsh of the Flats appears too. Now Denner has a difficult choice to make.

I would think that Kirsh would be on the short list of people whom Denner would be glad to see.


Quote:
Mel Odrum attempts to tie Nasperge to the railroad tracks. It does NOT end well for him...

I imagine that, just as soon as Mel thinks that he has the Magician tied up, there's a puff of smoke, and, suddenly, Nasperge is free, and Mel is the one tied to the tracks.


Quote:
Rishima, Queen of the Black Sands throws a party on Jakkard. She invites Blink, Ilyria the Accursed, Ellia the Endbringer and The Eightfold Lotus, but Ellia can’t stand Jinsen!

I sort of imagine Jinsen walking in, examining the room, bowing, and saying: "I think I'm at the wrong party."


Quote:
Mel Odrum attempts to tie Ygraine of Segovia to the railroad tracks. It does NOT end well for him...

Ygraine: Really? This was your plan?
Mel: *grunts as he tries to untie his bootlace* I didn't realize you'd be so small.


Quote:
In the dark of the night, Auric Avarius is woken by an Octopus! The Octopus explains that he has been chosen to become the last defender of Ihn Gallad and using the magic of The Black Grail, he can become the hero known as Magical Girl Auric! But there's no time to learn the ropes as Rimarra is raising an entire army of Elephants!

Okay, that's really weird and really funny.


Quote:
Agmund is investigating a violent assault on Siraus and his suspects include the Primarch of the Thoughtforge, Maral, Celestial Wright, Mari Gwynn, and Kahr-ret-Taris. To his surprise, all the facts point to... Mari Gwynn!

I'm not sure I agree with you 100-percent on your police work there, Agmund...


Quote:
Things have gone poorly, and it seems to be Kala, The Iron Doctor's darkest hour. But then, suddenly and out of nowhere, Raef arrives! He comforts Kala, and things start to seem better for her. Together, Kala and Raef head off to explore Moag.

Awww. :)


Quote:
Lourima Viiran begins traveling with Tryst. Can they stick together despite their differences?

I think this is the first time I've seen those two paired together, and I think it would not go well. Not at all...


Quote:
Illarion Vale finds himself surrounded by a very strange army comprised of Cockatrice Praetors, Chimeras, Teenage Warriors, and even Horror Hellions.

Horror Hellions would be a good heavy metal band name.


Quote:
Zhiran seeks to prolong his life, and he plans to do this by enlisting Ellia the Endbringer's help.

In one sense, she is the right person to ask...

In another, more terrifying sense, she is not the right person to ask...


Quote:
Blink planeswalks to the conspiracy-ridden plane of Fiora. There, she gets drawn into complex political intrigue by Beryl, the Heart-Scarred and Raiker Venn.

This worries me on so many different levels...


Quote:
After an unfortunate incident, Tey'von is suffering from exposure to mycosynth spores. Now, he has to travel to Keter in search of Sri Hara in the desperate hope that he can help.

Welcome to the Generator, Tey'von. :(


Quote:
Nasperge does an Aubedore reading for Kimberley Talon in the "Crossroads" pattern.

For the corners, he draws the Dwarf, the Orphan (inverted), the Oasis (inverted), and the Teacher.

For the spokes, he draws the Twins, the Flag, the Wall, and the Huntress.

At the Crossroads, he lays the Thief vertically as the destination, under the fate card of the Woods (inverted), which is horizontal.

Kimberley Talon does not believe Nasperge's interpretation.

Hrmm...


Quote:
Syl of the Dual-Walkers wakes up to find she's on on Kephalai. She last remembers being on Aldis and has no memory of how she got here! Will Syl be able to regain those lost memories before Chardis of the Dual-Walkers takes advantage of the situation?

Typical sibling behavior.

Is there a place where you have some background for these card readings?

The only place they are really featured is in the short story "The Magician's Crossroads," which is Nasperge's introductory story. They also play a small role in OrcishLibrarian's "Between Two Worlds." But the actual meanings of each card has never been revealed, and is largely based on context.

In fairness, there ain't no party like a Rishima party.

Hrm. First time I've seen Agmund attached to that prompt. Good to see that.
Also I'm sad now that Agmund has never had a story....

First thing to come to my mind was "Warriooooors, come out and plaaaaaaay!"

Oddly tangentially relevant to the story I have in my pocket right now.

For some reason this just makes me kind of sad we don't have a joke prompt about asking people out to the Prom.

Quote:
It’s an interplanar game of Tag! Sri Hara tags Tey'von on Siraus, who tags Mari Gwynn on the miniature plane Segovia, who tags Kala, The Iron Doctor on Innistrad. Kala attempts to tag Syl of the Dual-Walkers on Ikass, but Syl narrowly escapes! Now Kala is desperately trying to find a new planeswalker on Jakkard.

I decided to go looking for Tey'von, and this was the first prompt I found with him. So far, so good.

Quote:
Tryst wants to learn about how to get to the ancient plane of Equilor, and so interrupts a conspiracy between Illarion Vale and Aamir. However, Aamir is suffering from a parasitic dark hatchling, and will only help Tryst if she goes to Janhapurh to see Tey'von about a cure. Tey'von knows about the cure, but will only give it to Tryst if she can locate The Nocturne Wheel. Tryst searches for it on the continent of Terisiare, but only finds a reflection. At this point, Tryst gives up on this side quest.

OK, I don't know why Tey'von would want that, but it's not too bad.

Quote:
Tey'von has grown suspicious of Jade and follows the other 'walker to the continent of Sarpadia and Aldis. There, Illarion Vale attacks both of them, revealing the true manipulation.

And there we have... something. Not sure what to make of this really.

And finally, an oddity:
Quote:
The Magician Nasperge is going insane, and decides to give an Aubedore reading to a Wurm.

Nasperge draws the Anvil, the Turtle (inverted), and the Horse (inverted), and declares his reading very strange.

Quote:
The Magician Nasperge is bored, and decides to give an Aubedore reading to a Wurm.

Nasperge draws the Snake, the Castle, and the Poet, and declares his reading flawed.


These two were literally next to each other. What gives?

Sounds like Nas was getting drunk on a VERY, VERY BIG bottle of tequila.

Rishima, Queen of the Black Sands distastefully reflects on her finest moment, on the turbulent land of Zendikar.

Gideon: "Yeah, that's great, but we're kind of in the middle of something right now..."

Quote:
Zhiran arrives on the wasteland plane of Gastal, in the possession of the artifact known as The Nocturne Wheel. But Syl of the Dual-Walkers covets The Nocturne Wheel and attempts to steal it from Zhiran

I don't know how Zhiran got it from Maral, or what he's doing with it, but I'm pretty sure it would be a good idea if Syl doesn't wind up with it.

Quote:
Huinn, Last of the Darkwings starts a band with Sava Pith and Asher, but is Sava truly as epic a guitar player as she claims???

Now this is a Death Metal band if I've ever heard one...

Quote:
Gale interrupts a conspiracy between Donagut and Denner Fabellian.

Gale: "Hey, can you guys help me get home? Also, ya old Salty Dog, I kind of lost my papers when my ship went down. Do you think you could find those for me? Thanks."

Quote:
Aria has gone missing, and now Syl of the Dual-Walkers goes in search of her. The search takes Syl from Zhiran's Academy to Muraganda, home to the Feeding Grounds and finally to Adrisar, where she is attacked by Huinn, Last of the Darkwings, who was using Aria as bait!

This is an interesting story, although I'm wondering what Syl wants with Aria in the first place...

Quote:
Helkavin is under attack! Morgan of Voor must gather allies such as Jade and Ygraine of Segovia before it's too late, but Morgan is hampered when he spends an afternoon watching a rainbow with a demon of the Xordikrast.

Morgan: "Well, I guess you guys aren't as bad as everyone thinks."
Larasa: "Morgan! We're leaving. Right. Now!"

Quote:
Beryl, the Heart-Scarred chases Kimberley Talon to a strange distortion in the Blind Eternities--a phenomenon known as Interplanar Tunnel--outside of Siraus and a strange distortion in the Blind Eternities--a phenomenon known as a Planewide Disaster--outside of Ergamon, home of Truga Jungle. Upon landing on Ergamon, home of Truga Jungle, she crosses the path of the other 'Walker.

Kimberley: "That was a lot of strange distortions, huh?"
Beryl: "No kidding. I don't even remember what I wanted to ask you!"
Kimberley: "Oh, well. See you later, then."
Beryl: "Yeah, take care."

Quote:
Raiker Venn begins searching for one of the Keys of the King Vasilias.

Raiker does seem exactly the person who would want those things falling into the wrong hands.

Quote:
In the Flatulent Sheep tavern on the continent of Jamuraa, under duress, Alessa Rehn gives an Aubedore reading to Gale in the "Crossroads pattern."

For the corners, she draws the Woods, the Scroll (inverted), the Shapeshifter, and the Castle.

For the spokes, she draws the Throne, the Spider (inverted), the Sufferer (inverted), and the Student.

At the Crossroads, she lays the Priestess vertically as the destination, under the fate card of the Endless Maze (inverted), which is horizontal.

Gale is free to interpret the reading as she wishes.

Hours later, Gale was said to still be laughing uproariously at the thought of the Priestess being her destination...

Also, The Flatulent Sheep is one interesting tavern name. I...probably wouldn't go there.

Quote:
Mari Gwynn finds herself captured by a very strange army comprised of Elementals, Kithkin Deserters, Graveborn Spirit Elf Pirates, and even Snow Merfolks.

So, are they the ghosts of elf pirates, or are they elf pirates who, after death, decided to take up piracy? I also find the concept of Snow Merfolk pretty funny.

At the Crossroads, she lays the Woods (inverted) vertically as the destination, under the fate card of the Queen, which is horizontal.

Syl of the Dual-Walkers orders a stiff drink.

That does seem a little ominous.

"Sorry, Alessa, but my expertise is more in broken hearts of the literal variety."

Agmund is investigating a violent assault on Arbagoth and his suspects include Lukas Harran, Ilyria the Accursed, Huinn, Last of the Darkwings, and Clade. To his surprise, all the facts point to... Huinn, Last of the Darkwings!

I find myself less surprised than Agmund.

After a long and eventful adventure, they finally reach a wind-swept moor. After hours of searching, they find their treasure! Triumphantly, Alessa raises a jewel-encrusted scepter over her head!

I don't know why I'm so tickled by this pairing, but I am.


Quote:
The Divinity has resurfaced from the depths of history, and now Raleris, the Lorekeeper planeswalks to the continent of Terisiare in search of it. But Raleris gets more than he bargained for when he seemingly seeks revenge upon Aria, but secretly is working to oppose Jade.

Quote:
A thousand years ago, the Dual-Walkers, Syl and Chardis, host the Amphiseum Games, and watch a planeswalker battle a tricky Kithkin Drone.

Watch out -- he's tricky!


Quote:
Illarion Vale decides to write a guide for a new plane he found while visiting the plane's natural wonders. It says:
Welcome to the plane of Uszi. It is a massive plane that is the inside surface of a hollow sphere, and its land is mostly urbanized.

It is a war-torn place, with numerous small, separate states.

The plane's intelligent races are moderately diverse. Fungus folk, moonfolk, orcs, aven, elementals, humans, fox folk, snake folk, noggles, and leonin, are all found here.

The plane's iconic creatures include Shadows, Manticores, Islandfish, Elementals, and Angels.

Here, you'll find things are pretty normal, all things considered. Enjoy your stay!

"All things considered" feels like a pretty important qualifier, there.


Quote:
Jade flees to Mercadia.

Sometimes, the really short ones are some of the most interesting.


Quote:
The multiverse has it out for Morgan, as Asher curses him with a plague from the undercity. Poor Morgan now has to get Beryl, the Heart-Scarred's help.

Well, Beryl would definitely try to help.


Quote:
Raleris, the Lorekeeper has a secret admirer! After receiving several gifts, Raleris discovers the secret admirer is Cyrryc Adda! Raleris is disappointed.

Can you blame him?

Also, I wouldn't eat those chocolates, if I were Raleris...


Quote:
Clade begins traveling with Gale. Together, they travel to Ihn Gallad.

That would be a very strange pairing.


Quote:
Syl of the Dual-Walkers has grown suspicious of Huinn, Last of the Darkwings and follows the other 'walker to The Trial of Flame and Ulgrotha. There, Syl realizes she made a terrible mistake.

You can say that again.


Quote:
Aamir has a secret admirer! After receiving several gifts, Aamir discovers the secret admirer is Lumina Revelaris! Aamir is extremely surprised!

Well, they both specialize in light? Maybe that will give them something to break the ice with?


Quote:
The Shifter attempts to explain cheese to Huinn, Last of the Darkwings, but just creates a massive misunderstanding in the process.

This seems like a potentially dangerous misunderstanding...


Quote:
Denner Fabellian decides to write a guide for a new plane he found while searching for beautiful women...

Okay, this is the first time I've seen this prompt, and it totally got a laugh.


Quote:
After a particularly enjoyable festival, Beryl, the Heart-Scarred decides to search for a mysterious treasure on Solphos. For the sake of safety, Beryl enlists the aid of Donagut. After a long and eventful adventure, they finally reach a decrepit castle. After hours of searching, they find their treasure! Triumphantly, Beryl raises a magic ring over her head!

A sequel to "Hot Dog," perhaps?

That does seem very apropos for the guy. Here's hoping the guy can get to a point where he can return to his, uh, "scholarly" endeavors.

Blink begins traveling with Beryl, the Heart-Scarred. Together, they acquires the artifact known as The Chaos Ring from Mari Gwynn.

This was the first one the Generator loaded. Sorry, Beryl. :(

Quote:
It's a high stakes game of cards on Helkavin between Blink, Donagut, and Yeong Eode. The game takes a sudden turn when one of them antes The Ythol Annulus. Now it's a game with deadly consequences if it falls into the wrong hands.

Dogs playing poker...with the people who want to kill him...

Quote:
Illarion Vale has a secret admirer! After receiving several gifts, Illarion discovers the secret admirer is Maral, Celestial Wright! Illarion is shocked!..in bed...with chains.

:takei:

:rofl:

Quote:
Kimberley has a meeting with Penelophine the Siren on Moag, after a duel between Yeong Eode and Raef left them stranded there.

Okay, these are BOTH fascinating match-ups.

Quote:
After hearing a compelling story, Aloise Hartley decides to search for a mysterious treasure on the Djinn-ruled elemental plane Wildfire. For the sake of safety, Aloise brings a wide variety of spells and weapons. After a long and eventful adventure, she finally reaches a desert oasis. After hours of searching, she finds her treasure! Triumphantly, Aloise raises a long-forgotten book of spells over her head!

Apart from the weapons, this seems perfectly plausible.

I am actually working on a Prom prompt. It's... possibly the most complicated prompt I've seen, and I'm sure there will be some annoying hillarious issues.

For one, there are some potential calls that specifically introduce Syl (twice), Chardis, Dantalion, Huinn, Ellia (twice), Aloise, Raiker (twice), or a Timmeran Fiend, but none of those are ever sanitized from the random 'walkers, so Prom Queen Syl could cause trouble for protagonist Syl.

So that's to be expected

When I finish compiling this mess, I'll post it here.

Ye gods, it's done. I need to TEST this sucker, and probably need more eyes to look it over for coding errors though

if you don't want to ruin the surprise, don't open

A few Proms

Quote:
The Multiversal Prom is coming up on Siraus! But Narissa Enshar doesn't have a date! Narissa is resigned to being alone at the Prom. Suddenly, Aloise Hartley arrives! She invites Narissa to the Prom, determined to make this the best night ever! Things get more complicated when Phyrexia crashes the Prom! The gremlins make a royal mess of everything! Can Narissa save the Prom?

Poor Beryl?

Quote:
The Multiversal Prom is coming up on Jakkard! Cyrryc Adda has asked Aloise Hartley to go to the Prom with him! But Aloise feigns the necrotic plague! Will such a scheme get Aloise out of the undesired date? Things get more complicated when Raiker Venn, the Multiverse's Greatest Poet, decides the Prom would make the perfect setting for his Magnum Opus!

I'm rather pleased with how these seem to work out. The generated text is VERY short compared to the possibilities, which means there's a lot of random in there.

Quote:
The Multiversal Prom is coming up on The Wheel! Mari Gwynn has asked Clade to go to the Prom with her! Clade agrees, but has reservations about the arrangement. Things get more complicated when Chardis of the Dual-Walkers becomes insanely jealous of Clade and moves in to monopolize the target of his affection!


I deliberately left the "Jealous interloper" result on complication ambiguous on whether the target of affection is the named planeswalker, or the named planeswalker's date. So Chardis here could be trying to steal mari from Clade, or clade from mari.

Also, I don't specify the date in the second half since who if anyone is left as the "protagonist"'s date after the first half of the prompt could be planeswalker two OR planeswalker three, and there are many variations that don't call three and at least one that doesn't call two.

Quote:
The Multiversal Prom is coming up on Ikass! Syl of the Dual-Walkers has asked Sava Pith to go to the Prom with her! But Sava really wants to go with Maral, Celestial Wright! Sava is broken-hearted but feels obligated to go with Syl, and Syl knows about Sava's feelings, but would rather have her unhappy than with Maral Things get more complicated when Dantalion infests Sava's date! Now Sava must figure out what to do without alerting Dantalion that she has found out the truth!


Eh heh heh... I really like that by text there were SO MANY ways Syl could have responded, and the generator picked the in-character one, and then had Dantalion show up.

The time building this prompt was totally worth it.

Quote:
The Multiversal Prom is coming up on Theros! Maral, Celestial Wright has asked The Duchess to go to the Prom with her! But The Duchess would rather play matchmaker and sets up Maral with Sri Hara instead! Things get more complicated when Syl of the Dual-Walkers wants to learn about how dangerous a Jakk gun is, and so joins forces with Ilyta. However, Ilyta is suffering from a stab wound, and will only help Syl if she goes to the continent Porratig to see Raef about a cure. Raef knows about the cure, but will only give it to Syl if she can locate The Chaos Ring. Syl searches for it on Adrisar, but only finds a pest. At this point, Syl gives up on this side quest.

I may remove the ability of the "complication" to call [prompt]. It isn't germane. (Fake edit: I've done so)

The Multiversal Prom is coming up on the continent Laghwen! Jade has asked Zhiran to go to the Prom with her! But Zhiran really wants to go with Nasperge! Zhiran lets Jade down hard, and Jade coldly decides to take vengeance upon Nasperge. Things get more complicated when Dantalion infests Zhiran's date! Now Zhiran must figure out what to do without alerting Dantalion that he has found out the truth!..in bed.

And it's being properly called by other things that call prompt. :)

Some more proms, and anything interesting I hit on the way

Quote:
Beryl, the Heart-Scarred has a secret admirer! After receiving several gifts, Beryl discovers the secret admirer is Alessa Rehn! Beryl is ecstatic!


Quote:
The Multiversal Prom is coming up on Keter! But Aamir doesn't have a date! Now Aamir is desperate to find someone to go with his! Invites an Apostle of the Void! How will a non-planeswalker possibly fit in?! Things get more complicated when Aamir grows insanely jealous over Syl of the Dual-Walkers and dumps his date to pursue her!

Oh dear, my first bug! Should be easily fixed syntax errors.

Quote:
Unexpectedly, Mattias the Tinkerer saves Rishima, Queen of the Black Sands's life. This draws the ire of Dantalion, who had orchestrated Rishima's intended demise.


As if Dantalion could be more peeved at Mattias.

Quote:
The Multiversal Prom is coming up on Shandrovol! But Morgan of Voor doesn't have a date! Morgan is resigned to being alone at the Prom. Oh No! Things get more complicated when Morgan and his date get involved in an epic dance-off with Kimberley Talon and her date, Lourima Viiran!

The protagonist in Morgan's slot will usually be assumed to find a solution to the dateless problem by the time "things get more complicated".

Quote:
The Multiversal Prom is coming up on Fabacin, home to the Grove of the Dreampods! Zhiran seems all set to go with Ygraine of Segovia. But then Ygraine suffers from mana backlash! Zhiran must now travel to The Wheel in search of a cure! Things get more complicated when Aria crashes the party! Aria tries to abscond with Zhiran's date! Zhiran's date wants none of it, and curses Aria!


Quote:
Illarion Vale hides out on New Phyrexia. There, he crosses the path of a planar native and later offers to take his new companion to see the multiverse

If Melira has inexplicably vanished by the next time we see ArgentiuMirrodiNewPhyrexia, I think we know why.

Quote:
The Multiversal Prom is coming up on Iquatana, home of the Æther Flues! Kahr-ret-Taris has asked Syl of the Dual-Walkers to go to the Prom with him! But Syl feigns an Elf bite! Kahr then goes to great lengths to find a cure for Syl! Syl feels terrible! Things get more complicated when Syl's date grows insanely jealous of Syl and refuses to let anyone else talk to her!

Kahr decided to ask Syl out. And be persistent. After Arbagoth. KAHR. And Syl tried to flake with what I presume to be a reflection of her distaste for green mana.

Kahr was not about to let her weasel out of any of this.


Quote:
he Multiversal Prom is coming up on Siraus! Beryl, the Heart-Scarred has asked Rishima, Queen of the Black Sands to go to the Prom with her! Rishima agrees, but has reservations about the arrangement because she thinks Beryl is suffering from a plague from the undercity! Things get more complicated when Rishima and her date get involved in an epic dance-off with Aamir and his date, A Timmerian fiend!

The time building this prompt was totally worth it.

Agreed. Very well done!

What better prompt for the "...in bed." prompt to call than a Prom one?

I'll search out a few prom ones myself:

Quote:
The Multiversal Prom is coming up on Adrisar! But Daneera doesn't have a date! Daneera is resigned to being alone at the Prom. Things get more complicated when Phyrexia crashes the Prom! The gremlins make a royal mess of everything! Can Daneera save the Prom?..in bed.

I swear, this was the first one that came up.

Quote:
The Multiversal Prom is coming up on Arbagoth! But Nasperge doesn't have a date! He asks Yeong Eode to the Prom. But she has already agreed to go with Ilyria the Accursed! Nasperge is dejected! Things get more complicated when Nasperge and his date get involved in an epic dance-off with A Timmerian fiend and its date, Mattias the Tinkerer!

I wonder who Nasperge finally got to go with him? Also, I never had Timmerian fiends figured for great dancers. Guess I was wrong.

Quote:
The Multiversal Prom is coming up on the continent Below Land! Sorinne Datharius seems all set to go with Auric Avarius. My, what a cute couple! Things get more complicated when Popular Planeswalker Raiker Venn deliveres an epic put-down to Sorinne and her date!

"Poor Sorinne thinks she's found her glitt'ring bead,
A gilded hero she can love and hold,
But Auric looks her up and down with greed,
And tells her all good things are made of gold."

(Also, typo! "deliveres")

Quote:
The Multiversal Prom is coming up on Aldis! But Raef doesn't have a date! He asks Ilyria the Accursed to the Prom. Ilyria agrees, but she doesn't know how to dance! Ilyria must get emergendy dancing lessons from Lia Xin before the day comes! Things get more complicated when Phyrexia crashes the Prom! They challenge the best dancers there to the ultimate dance-off with the compleation of everyone there at stake! Raef and his date step up.

Well, that's just fantastic, and surprisingly good plot development, as Ilyria's previous training will prove necessary. (Also, typo! "Emergendy.")

This is the best prompt ever. And that put-down is awesome.
