Let's do an experiment; A #DeckJam on twitter! I'll write a Spindlewheel card at the end of this thread, then take inspiration from it and reply with your own, or take inspiration from a reply and so on. Maybe we'll get to a full deck : 3 c

“It’s not fair to keep giving them false promises, to give them hope when nothing is coming. They look to me as a leader, a savior. But there’s nothing here but a lie behind a smile. I’ll let them believe as they do, it doesn’t matter. Nothing matters anymore.”

”My friends, you know I am not one for impassioned speeches. But these are troubling times, and troubling times demand action. They demand that we speak up, rise up against those who would contain us. I speak not for myself, but so that all of you may speak as well.”

Spindlewheel Monologue structure: First Card: a question you’ll be answering. Second Card: a soft answer or exploration of the question. Final Card: a strong rejection or hard decision to the question in response of the second card.
listen detective, we've got a new case lined up for you. seems like it's going to be a real tough egg to crack, but you're the sharpest mind in town—i've got faith in your capacity to pull it off. @spindlewheelbot, let's pull ONE to tell our friend about the scene of the crime.

“Who are we to toast this evening? When the monster came did it take everything from us? Perhaps, perhaps it took our food and our shelter and our sense of safety but it didn’t take our humanity. It didn’t take our hope nor what makes life beauty. I raise a toast to us alone!”

The Alpha here might be in power for now but they've a long way to fall, and comeuppance looks more likely each day. They keep delaying their judgement day and they're using subterfuge more and more to cement their cult of personality. Cool spread! xitter.gq/spindlewheelbot/status…

A grunt of a magical witch army is able to exploit the irregularities of reality to give many to those who go without. They are opposed by a ruling class that seeks to keep their fortune theirs but the grunt has gumption and a little thing called “moxie” (short for monoxide)

The Carouse The life of the party. Pockets of tricks, mind of tall tales. Far too lucky, often attributed to a guardian angel. Rocky relationship with the legal system. No matter where they are, they had an invitation. They claim to have found the greatest story, yet to be told.
