Good work!

Impressive, I hope you get use for it in your writing

I prefer fiction due to the freedom for my imagination and not getting a story shot down because a character had a kind of shoes three years too early from when it was introduced. The last was a hyperbole but it kind of sums up why I don't write historical fiction even if I love to read it...

Victory! With Gwyn defeated and this playthrough concluded I am now ready to move on to Dark Souls 2. I am not done with Dark Souls 1 and I will probably return in the future as I have more playthroughs planned but for the time being I shall focus on something else. :) Anyway these are my...

And now Gwyndolin is undone... The only boss left now is Gwyn before this run is completed.

I'm slowly trying to get my writing muscles back into work. Just today I wrote a short story called "Indulgence and Discipline". Good work, Gurkhal, I say! :D

Are you making progress in it? I've heard its pretty difficult game.

Since geography has yet to become important in my stories I have not done any maps. I find that mapping for its own sake just diverts me from the writing and researching to write and so is a distraction. I'm sure it can be a fun distraction but it kind has the feel of the World Building Swamp...

Hussar Life - Oskar - In the start of the story Oskar fails alot of perception checks but it gets a bit better as the story moves on. He never becomes noteworthy perceptive person however. The Letter - Julia - A mixed bag with both fails and successes, but I don't think that she ever fails a...

History is my standard source of inspiration.

Timeless classics of you ask me. Good choice!

And faithful to my bad habits I "only one more" book. This time its "The First Holstein-Schleswig War 1848-1850" by Nick Svendsen. Its part of the "From Musket to Maxim 1815-1914" series which I'm a bit curious about. So this is a kind of test to see if the series is any good and worth something...
