Dungeons, dragons, and summer gaming tarot predictions #3

destructoid.com:

Okay, so this last tarot prediction entry is running late, but we still have weeks of streams so we’re mostly safe. My life has been in positive upheavals with minor injuries. Sprained wrists, red wine, broken pinky toe, rose incense, rugburn, neat Etsy stuff, and breaking the next toe over. That last one was this morning.

My life has been an Alanis Morissette song as I’ve tried to get these summer stream tarot readings done. No, not that one. It’s “Hand in My Pocket.”

Anyway, here’s the last set of readings. A whopping nine to close this out. If you missed the previous posts, you can find Part 1 here and Part 2 here.

Cards drawn: Eight of Strength, Six of Charisma, Nine of Charisma reversed.

The Eight of Strength, like a Belmont at the stairs to Dracula’s throne room, suggests a group of heroes has neared the end of their quest. They’ve grown strong, moving from strength to more strength — like Hard Drive continuing to dunk on Elon Musk.

They’ve done the right things, fought the good fight and a Six of Charisma says they’ve returned the grace and generosity others have shown them with much gratitude. Now the princess must be saved.

But with the goal in reach, a beautiful pirate queen pulls them off-course. She’s hiring, you see. She’s seen them in mortal combat. She’s witnessed their deeds and thinks they would be a great addition to her crew. They agree and forget about the princess since the pirate queen pays better.

The reversed Nine of Charisma can be about getting distracted and materialism, so that tracks.

If a Marvel fighting game was happening, you’d think they’d fight DC heroes. Lots of licensing and copyright issues, though, which is why there’s now a hero named after Gomer Pyle’s catch phrase and Red Sonja
