I pulled something kind of like this in a horror roleplaying game - a bus breaks down in the middle of nowhere. Everyone on board has some kind of personal secret that ranging from minor (a girl who's afraid of her parents finding out she's gay because they have strong anti-homosexual views)...

The biggest thing I miss is access to new material and rumors of upcoming products. Though I usually go to run games (I'm a player at home and a GM away). My knowledge of the New World of Darkness is that a lot of long-term fans of the setting were very unhappy with it at release, but it...

Personally, if I can get in when it's just starting and keep pace with it, I'm happiest, regardless of lenght.

Hopefully that's "Adult" and "Mature" as it describes both one I had to take down for Pocket FM (Between Worlds) and one still here (Strange Awakening).

And exactly what crimes are you open to committing?

If Netflix "New Anime" counts then I have a real list - otherwise there is only one that I've seen all of so far, Dan Dan Dan. Which is just a lot of crazy fun.

You'd be surprised - if he's up-and-coming (or if there's some obscure little prophecy that MIGHT be about him somewhere out there) low end nobles will fall all over themselves to get a piece of the pie. But it could also be part of a condition of surrender (either way) or assistance (Marry our...

Hope, Pray and Self-Promote.

Ones I've done in D&D over the years: The adventurers must form (recruit from natives if not enough players) a full Blood Bowl (or equivalent) Fantasy Football (Rugby) League... (also had a version closer to socker - a lot less mayhem there but still some) Throw them into Bodywrecker, a giant...

"Calamity King"? Sounds kind of like the King in Yellow... Maybe as a twist (though it's been used a few times - most recently that I'm aware of in a TV series called "Awake" but before that in a comic book miniseries called "World's Collide" in the 90s) - when he falls asleep in the fantasy...

Finding a copy of a book I've been wanting to read ... and being allergic to it. Seriously - took me three tries to find a copy of Don Quixote that I could afford and did not aggravate my allergies due to dust (and likely mildew).

All I know is "Mature" is what I try to write but I am not, so I tend to write "Adult" ... and generally get annoyed by smut unless its wrapped in comedy or a "waystation" to the true story.

That's like saying Darth Vader is not an antagonist in Star Wars because he eventually kills the Emperor (at least temporarily... ugh). No, he WAS the antagonist. He changes over time, and becomes a dueteragonist eventually but starts as the main antagonist, both from the descriptions above...

If your MC needs to practice diplomacy but is not a diplomat, force one on him. Either an arranged marriage, a follower with a gift, or an outsider who may have his best interests at heart ... or may not. Someone who can handle that task (and add plot complications) is easier than suddenly...

I am not, but it is VERY popular on Substack. In fact, the first post I ever saw there was an author offering a trial period key (and admitting he got a very small cut for everyone who used the trial period from his key and subscribed) for it. Even had four other authors encourage me to either...

I mean I did [ Michicon several years, GenCpn from '91 to 99 and twice since, Origins three times (though twice only because it was a traveling con at the time, and merged with MichiCon in '83 and then GenCon in '93), a few Chicago area cons, Winter Fantasy twice, and then after moving here...

AI is at times like a child that wants to impress you by guessing what you want... no matter how clearly you spelled it out, it still guesses....

The downside of not being able to get to conventions (last one I spent more than a day at was the same year COVID hit... even the same day it became a problem in our area but about fifty miles away from THAT conference). Used to be well-versed on the horror and dark fantasy games out there, and...

I used to (when I made websites) have about 20 of these memorized. Only remember about three now. Thanks for posting it!

Web readers often ignore prologue chapters unless they are explicitly referenced later, then they go back and read them. Your best bet is to start en medias res = with an event from later in the series, something engaging that hints at the ultimate story, then flash back to the story, if you...
