Featured Story Father Leofwine is Dead

Someone cut the wise old priest's throat, and everyone at court is a suspect. Who murdered him, and how will King Alfred fight the Danes without his right hand man?

Written for Mizal's 2019 Lone Hero contest.


The Bard's Tale

What could be better than a night at the inn, tankard in hand, listening to a bard tell tales of faraway lands and great heroes? His story has it all- brilliant wizards, beastly monsters, and buxom lasses always ready for a smile and a good time. Alright, so I made up the lasses, but the rest is true. 


The Butter Bear

The Butter Bear is friendly, he's adventurous, and he's got butter in his hair. You never know what will happen when you meet him, but it'll be an experience you'll never forget!

Originally started for the children's contest but finished much later. This is very much a children's story, but I hope it's entertaining for adults.


Featured Story The Daemonologists

Daemons have preyed upon humans since the Fall of Man, but in the civilized world they must first fight the daemonologists. Armed with knowledge, they wield learning and magic to protect the innocent from the dark spirits that would do them harm. It has been your dream to join them, to study at their College and then go forth to do battle with infernal warriors, but lately you've had to contend with other dreams, nightmares of a mysterious woman, pale and strange and beautiful. Who is she, and what role will she play in the great unfolding drama of the daemonologists?

Lol that somehow it's featured in Love and Dating too when I wrote it to scam the system and get a story featured in the easiest category

Thank you Mizal, very cool! The site does seem to have a ton of productive members now, which means a lot of great stories from everyone that I need to get around to reading!

I did very little writing over the Christmas break, so the story will be drastically shortened from what I had originally planned. It'll still have the main puzzle (and probably not much else), but I hope that puzzle alone is good enough to make it an entertaining read.

I've finished the scripting and variables for the big riddle/puzzle at the end of the game, and everything seems to work with it. Now I just have to write the rest of the story...

Pug's Puzzles, Mysteries, and Riddles (Contest) on 12/2/2019 7:17:24 PM

I have a better grasp on it now. The story is going to be an Indiana Jones style adventure to a ruined city or temple to recover an ancient, semi-mythic artifact for the museum. There's one big puzzle I've already planned for the end, which will require some close reading of the story up to that point for clues, and then some smaller ones scattered throughout the trek there, navigating the ruins, etc. The big puzzle requires a fair bit of work with variables, which I haven't tried before, so that's the first thing I'm going to work on, and then whatever time / energy I have left after finals will be spent adding more little puzzles and adventures.
