As the person who sent that worm d20 post, I would like to apologise for the whole spoiler thing. It’s not really a spoiler it’s just me being daft and getting my interludes wrong. I would also like to apologise for the autocorrect of Krix to Kroc and fic to doc, that’s caused way more confusion then I intended. I would be happy to confirm that there is a worm ttrpg system (written by Wildbow), but Worm d20 isn’t it, it’s just a short and funny fic I’d thought you might like.
Ah! Yeah, the Kroc thing I just found funny, but “fic” to “doc” did confuse me a bit. That’s the other part of why I thought Sharks might not have intended to send it – I figured it might’ve been for her, since I don’t remember actually taking recommendations for docs of any Worm TRPGs.
After I answered the ask, it was mentioned to me on Discord that Worm d20 is a fic in the style of Darths and Droids, DM of the Rings, etc (though I figured you and the person who told me that were talking about different things by the same name). That sounds like fun!
I do want to note though that for an adaptation-style project like that, it’s probably better for me to read it after the point in Worm that was current when the thing was canceled, rather than after the point in Worm it had gotten up to with its adaptation. When making something like that, future ideas and details may slip through, especially if the adaptation is comedic in nature. I’m guessing this is why I haven’t been told any of Worm Abridged Arc 3+ is spoiler free yet, too.
That is, if I should read fan works during the liveblog at all. As far as I’ve gathered, at least some of you readers feel like that introduces too much bias from fandom ideas and portrayals, which I’m inclined to agree with.
As for the Worm TRPG, I think I may have known there was at least one – or at least that some parahumans’ powers had been converted into spells – but not that it was written by Wildbow himself, making it official! That’s pretty cool!
And finally, the Sarah thing – yeah, some of the other asks (coming up in the next post) set me straight about that. My reaction to seeing that in the ask was partially a result of me not remembering who Sarah was. No worries, then! 🙂
