Welcome mighty adventures.
I bring you news of what is going on in the worlds of my brain.
Last post I told you about the three projects that I am working on. Today, I have an update on one of those projects…well, I guess technically it is two of them.
Twilightshield
So, I have changed the name for this series. I am not sure currently if I am going to make it about Dwok’s family or just him, but he is going to be attempting to reclaim a family heirloom and bring honor back to his family also. I have been working on the family heirloom’s back story and have come up with some interesting tidbits that will make it even more exciting.
I know I didn’t mention this, but I am using a couple of other author’s products to help with the story. It is a little experiment to see how it works. So far I think it is coming out great. Here are the products…
The Artefact by Jack Harrison
This is a pretty cool book and has several different items in it that you can create. Well, it is the base items. There are only three in the book, but I don’t think it would really be that hard to create up any item you wanted with the rules it lays out for you. Right now I am creating an axe that was made by Dwok’s ancestor Hulron.
I have finished the first keeper (that is what the book calls the wielders of the artefact you play out in the book) and I am currently working on the second. I have slowed down a bit since I am also using another item to help create the wielders and other important characters in the history of the item. I am not too worried about it since the axe won’t come into play until later in the story.
The Universal NPC Emulator (UNE) by conjecture Games
For me, I am not sure if I would be able to use this during a TTRPG (Table Top Role Playing Game) but it is quite helpful with fleshing out my characters. I am not using it for all of them, just the one I am having a little trouble working out. I really have so far only used the personality and motivation sections but it has made some interesting characters.
Solo Adventurer’s Toolbox by 5e Solo Games
This one is mainly for 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons but I did use it at the start. I have switched to the next on my list but I do like some of this (specifically the Yes-No question resolution) better than…
Mythic Game Master Emulator by Word Mill
Again, with this one I haven’t used the whole book, just the parts that are necessary.
Each of these are great tools. They have helped to inspire me, to take my story in unexpected directions. I have also been thinking of using them for their intended purpose of playing a solo adventure game as my schedule doesn’t always allow me to play much D&D. I have started a game with my family (none of which have played before, and surprisingly my mom and oldest daughter have seemed to have the most fun so far).
But anyways, I have rambled on long enough. I have a few other things that have popped up with my projects but I think I have rambled on long enough for this post. I will update the other projects next week. And I believe I should also have the first episode of Twilightshield up by then also.
And as always…
