Sometimes when my anxiety is being a dick and won’t let me make decisions for myself I flip a coin.

Swish Knife

Hello and welcome to this week’s inventor’s fair! @follower-of-liliana at the helm again, wishing you a less bumpy ride!

On to the challenge! Forge an equipment with multiple functions to choose from.

Some existing equipment that meet the contest’s requirements are Umezawa's Jitte, Sunforger, Throwing Knife and Heartseeker. You can also take the tribal route and showcase an item that can be used in different ways depending on the race of the user. If you’re unsure what to design, tune in for tomorrow’s braistorming post!

Thanks for participating and happy designing!

Genealogy and Choice Making

reflections from a recent trip...next steps.
