An Update

I haven’t updated in a while. My bad. Or rather AJs bad. Alex and I got a fresh little story of an aspiring rockstar back home in his small town. It’s not a perfect finish to the story but we at least got a happy for now moment. AJs been working on a new world and new game mechanics based on the Story Mode stuff I last shared. We have a bunch of rules and notes. And AJ’s currently working on…

There are two tables, which basically are the same thing the oracle being a DC of 15. Ands always help you, and But’s should hinder you in some way. The Scene Status is based on a similar mechanism to the Cypher…

9 Years

Apparently today marks 9 years in my blogging. Wow! Too bad I’ve not been actively trying to keep it going all those 9 years. But we’ve been trying. AJ’s thinking about give us a little more me and Alex and less urban fantasy. Though we haven’t completely bailed on it. We might do an alternate Nox and Alex in my world where we focus on the romance arc and not the whole ascension thing. But you…

A Return to an Old World

AJ read the Glitter short from several years ago and got to feeling. I really like this guy. So AJ spent some time hunting for the original documents for the story. She found the original markdown docs, the converted to word, and then imported them into Dabble only to realize she was on the wrong Dabble account and they were already there… So AJ deleted that document and then reorganized the…

Journal Entries 1

Nox’s Nightly Journal I didn’t expect the things to happen today that did. It started out like any other. I went to class in The Scholar’s Hall with Master Moonfire. I was early, like always, and he sent me off with a note to the Headmaster’s office. I wasn’t in trouble, I was just the first one there. I read the note along the way. I mean who wouldn’t do that? Alex Silverstring cast…

Accountability and Projects

We’ve been flakey here for a while. After the Daily Prompt went caput we’ve been struggling to keep things going for ourselves. And we’ve not really had a story we’ve finished in a while so we haven’t had much to post. AJ’s flighty between different stories and games. And we now realize that we do keep coming back to the same things over and over again, just with slight twists. Instead of…

Finished a Bit!

AJ finally finished a story. It’s not very long coming in at 20K ish but it’s a complete story — beginning middle end and all that jazz. It’s a Cozy Modern Fantasy. So it’s magic and urban fantasy but more a slice of life type adventure. It was inspired by It’s Only Magic from Monte Cook Games.
