CHARACTERRace/Class
Read a book from a genre you usually don't read.
This will determine your race/class.
Dungeons & Dragons Challenge
Sign-ups are open until February 28th.
The challenge is open-ended.
The Challenge
1. Comment here to sign up, and I will create a personal challenge thread for you.
2. You will create your adventurer step by step: first by reading for a race/class, then a weapon, then a companion. Each of these will come with a one-time-use advantage to help you later in the challenge.
3. After your character is ready, you will begin the journey. At each stage, you will face a short story and a choice of tasks. The book you choose to read will determine the path your story takes.
4. To move forward, you must read for at least one of the tasks presented. You can only choose one task per branch — but you may use your earned advantages to skip or bend a rule if you wish.
5. Please make a completion post in your thread using this template:

Advantage: “Arcane Wisdom” – Once, you can ask the DM (me) for a hint about an upcoming prompt before you commit to a path.

DAY 4📸The Murder
Day Four.
The sky was clear. The sea was calm. The party was in full swing.
And then someone screamed.
A body has been found floating in the ship’s infinity pool—and this cruise just turned into a crime scene.
🕵️♀️Tasks:
1. Read a book where someone dies
2. Read a book that includes a mystery, thriller, or crime
3. Read a book with a shocking twist
📸 Investigation: Theo Zhang
Theo’s magic show has been cancelled.
Guests are saying it’s “out of respect”—but some say the real reason is darker.
He didn’t seem shocked when Javier died. In fact… he didn’t seem shocked by anything.
And someone found a list in his cabin. A list with seven names. One of them now crossed out.
🗣️ Interrogation Snippet:
“Magic is just misdirection,” Theo says, slowly shuffling a deck of cards. “But murder? That’s personal.”
He smiles. “Javier thought he was clever. Said he’d figured out what I was really doing on this ship. Said he was going to warn someone.”
He places a card on the table. It’s the King of Hearts. “Maybe he should’ve worried about himself instead.”
📚Tasks:
1. Read a book with a manipulative or mysterious male character
2. Read a book involving a list, secret plan, or conspiracy
3. Read a book with a “cat-and-mouse” feel between characters
