I’ve decided to try my hand at a new genre, Fantasy! 😊 To save me continually publishing new stories and cluttering up the site I’m going to be writing and uploading new stories for this series within the existing framework of this one story-game (each can be read as a stand-alone adventure or as part of a continuous campaign). I’ll post here whenever a new one is finished and added.

Currently The First Tale of Erenel – The Barrow of Blood is the only one available but I hope to finish the next in the series, The Second Tale of Erenel – The Ship of Death, in the next month or two. Enjoy!

Lol, "yeah guys decided to just stop cluttering up the site with more commended and featured games than anyone else is writing, maybe somebody can catch up now, heh"

This is a pretty neat idea though, I've thought before that something like this would be cool, like a bunch of adventure modules plugged in to one setting. Just never expected anybody to pull it off.

You might consider moving this to the Parlor Room, you'd basically have that whole board to yourself.

Haha, it's more like "I literally can't stop writing and rather than seek medical help I'll take the cheaper option of creating one story game that is a several-in-one so I can keep churning out stories without disturbing others" :D I'm considering folding some of my other series into one story game too but it'd be a shame to lose the comments.

It was super fiddly to work out how to do it right without just leaving a story unfinished but I think stand-alone adventures might work - I can write the next one in my own time and then just post a link to it from the main page (or sub-page) when I'm finished.

And done :D

Dude, this is awesome!

I'm really excited to see your foray into Fantasy. The title sounds incredibly promising. How'd you get the idea? Thanks again!

My introduction to cys was via Fighting Fantasy gamebooks so actually fantasy was the way I got introduced to all these, I'm just kind of returning to roots by finally trying to write something in the genre. The idea's been bouncing around since Covid but I couldn't figure out a way to make it work for ages. And thanks RK for the positivity - if you ever say a story is terrible and that you hate we will know it is literally the worst thing ever :D

     Hey, I was doing this! >< But anyway, it's a cool idea. I've been more recently working on a different story game but I have one on sneak preview (never bothered to take it off, it's Tales of Nine Ducks) where I had a similar idea.

     Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying here and what I'm doing is different, but basically I'm just planning to make a ton of really short stories and put them in one story game.

Love the idea and congrats on making real progress with it. My series concept never got past one unfinished project I keep wanting to pick up, a short story that's not even marked as part of the series and way too many concept docs.

It will be interesting to see it grow and who knows maybe we'll eventually get another 8 length game at some point to scare people with.
