The Worm Of The Ages And Other Tails: Six Short Fantasies - Plot & Excerpts
We were having a good laugh about online role-playing games, and the immense amounts of magical junk that players accumulate in their monomaniac quest for the biggest and best and flashiest and lethalest gear. And we took to wondering: What happens to all the old equipment that the players trade in for petty cash? I made some investigations— I had stopped to window-shop, then come in to price a bit of cheap jewellery. The proprietor must have liked the look of me, for he trusted me enough to take a display box of rings and gewgaws out from under glass and let me rummage through them on my own. While I was amusing myself with that, another customer came in, a bulging canvas bag over his shoulder. He was one of these adventurers by the look of him, and not an experienced one; he had on a lot of shiny new armour and other rubbish, more stylish than practical, probably sold to him by some huckster who spotted him for a rube and told him the yarn about how this stuff was just what he needed.
