Steam Deck spotted 👀

What is that table? Just a retired store display or is it a full on TV? How is it held up?

Where do I get one? Lol

Here is some backstory.

I've been playing a Tortle Kensei Monk (basically a Ninja Turtle, it rules). My Tortle left his island and became a sailor to see the world. That's how I met up with the party. They took my boat to the main town we're at and I decided to jump ship seeing them all geared out for adventure. The DM has tried to tailor some side missions for each of us and this one was mine. A little more backstory. My tortle is kind of obsessed with fish and shiny rocks. He previously had a coal like rock that appeared as a precious gem to him. The main quest has portals we go through to different realms of gods or some type of celestial beings. I lost that rock by trying to buy our freedom from one of the greedy gods. But I didn't know that once she takes possession of an object, it's unable to leave her realm and if it does, it crumbles.

Anyway, at the main town I met up with a local fishermen Bobby Bones. He was having issues with crab men taking over his fishing spot. He took me and another player out and we took care of them. On this island was a totem with shiny all over it. I couldn't resist and touched it. Out popped a fish genie. He told us an Aboleth had taken over his island and if we took care of it, he would grant me a wish. Never in my 25 years of DND have I encountered a genie or gotten a wish. So this was cool, what could I wish for?

We head back to the town and I explain to the party what we encountered but didn't mention the wish. We did some research on aboleths and were all kinds of unsure about fighting it. I told them the genie said we would all get wishes trying to entice them. Most of them didn't believe me but went along anyway.

We head back to the island, have a knock down drag out with the Aboleth and end up coming out victorious. We encountered some mind controlled pirates on the island. Once we broke the mind control they signaled for their main ship and the DM brought out the Lego ship.

I call the fish genie through his seashell and he appears. We show him the corpse and he says "you may now have one wish" I tried to play dumb and asked if everyone can have a wish, which he shoots down very quickly. So before there is even any discussion with the party, I blurt out "I wish for my shiny rock back!!!" He grants it and the rock appears in my Tortle hand. Everyone throws there hands up. but they took it much better than I expected haha.

And that's how I used a wish in DND to get a shiny rock with zero value back into my possession.

OP mentions Lego pirate ship, doesn't mention the more interesting digital setup. xD Even though it's janky, it does sound awesome!

This setup looks like a dream. Jealous, but also stoked for you all!

This is awesome! I’ve never seen a digital setup before. And that Lego ship is an awesome touch.

Damn what a set-up, e-tabletop with lego? I'm so jealous.
