May she forever fly

 

I am fortunate to have been born in the best country on the planet and happy to have served my fellow citizens. May we forever be a beacon of liberty and hope on this blue ball circling the sun.

Monster Blood Tattoo

 

I do not know if I have ever supported a Kickstarter here on the blog but I cannot pass this one up. I read these books when they came out and somehow these floated under the radar of everyone I knew. This is a fantastically unique world, so very much unlike anything I have ever encountered in my fantasy reading. Sadly, they went out of print years ago but through this kickstarter, an American company is trying to bring them back to life. I am in for print and the epub. The setting and worldbuilding D.M. Cornish creates is fascinating, unique, detailed and complex, and a breath of fresh air in a genre that is full of secret princes, orcs and elves, and abundant Tolkienisms. 

Help this one come to life!

[ShadowDark Solo] Rufus & Silas, session 08

 

Corven might be my favorite NPC I have created during all my soloing, I mean look at that dude! Classic, scruffy old war veteran with some PTSD issues he hasn't resolved. Heck, he's me.  ;-)

Anyway, here is session 8. I have decided to pause here and call this "Chapter 1". Too many times while doing a solo campaign I abruptly stop and never return leaving readers (and myself) hanging. I have a bit of ADD and my mind switches too quickly. I end up leaving an adventure before a solid stopping point. My goal here is to pause at a logical stopping point, and return some day to continue the adventure. 

I really enjoyed this adventure and got in a groove where I wanted to return, I figured out a play style that worked and was easy to hope in for 15 mins at work when things got slow, then jump right back in, so I feel this was completely successful and enjoyable. I want to jump back in and continue but I can feel my mind getting dragged in another direction and rather than continue, and just stop in a few more sessions, I want to pause, pivot and settle my mind so this is at least a satisfying end point.

Product I used this session:

Reed Adkins Massacre at Ambler's Gap

Yeah, I might have a problem with these covers....

Reed is called in by an old friend to investigate the ambush of a caravan, a caravan headed by an old flame and carrier over twenty-thousand dollars in silver!
