Design a Thing
« on: May 01, 2018, 10:21:30 pm »

Yo. We're going to be describing some sort of thing. From a spaceship to a vending machine, from an egg to a couch... this is Design a Thing.

To play, describe, in some manner, the object that is the current focus of the thread. Once at least ten posts have been made describing the thing, at any time you may set a new thing to be described.
~~~
Let's start with the Mage Association Official Vending Machine. This rectangular contraption of metal dispenses a wide variety of potions and other limited-use magical items for gold coins. Thieves should beware of the integrated curse-based defense system.

The items are dispensed from a sculpted dragon mouth.

It has a bad habit of consuming the essence of random passers-by and trapping their minds in magic artifacts, with effects derived from their personality.

Glass is, as usual, correct.
Yep, as ever, I bestow upon Glass the expected +1
I'm gonna say we go with whatever Glass's idea is.

Also, don't forget to contact your local Eldritch Being(s), so that they can help with our mission to destroy the universe.

It can turn other vending machines into copies of itself by throwing $31415 dollars at them.

The machine is powered by the soul of people who kicked it.

It is often found to be not where you last saw it, but against a different wall, in a different room or along a different corridor. Yet it has never been observed moving or being moved.

Those that purchase from the vending machine are subconsciously brainwashed to return soon.
