The Creator Of Adventure Time Is Running An RPG Through Twitter

Now that Pendleton Ward has brought his animated fantasy series Adventure Time to the small screen it’s hard to imagine a world without Finn and Jake protecting the Candy Kingdom from the likes of Lemongrab and the Ice King, and fans of the show know episodes often play out like a kid oriented version of an RPG like Dungeons & Dragons.

Therefore it should come as no surprise that Pendleton Ward often plays, and runs, his own RPG sessions, and his initial idea for Adventure Time came from the fact that "Ward and his friends don't game as much as they'd like."

What is surprising, however, is that his latest RPG is being played out via Twitter, and the general public is invited to play along.

Here's how it works:

Go to the Quest Attack Twitter, and fire off some commands. If Ward likes what he sees, he’ll draw the results.
Oh, did we mention you have to write it out “text adventure” style, as in “Use sword on gnome”? It’s that kind of game. Ward can “pause” the game whenever he feels like it, but users have to unpause to keep moving forward.

In other words, don't use it in presentations, or to play with pets, or allow children to use it. It should only be operated by responsible persons who understand and respect the potential laser safety hazards."

What the heck DO you use it for, then?

And what's next on Neatorama? Instructions on how to make a bomb?

Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.)

A problem with building this device is that you end up with something that looks like a safe flashlight that may damage your eyes if you look into it. Imagine someone turning it on, wondering why it's not shining properly and looking into it to see what's wrong.

Better to build this into a gun - at least most people will know not to point one at themselves if they happen upon one.
