Daily Character Question

The Valley of Triumph

Daily Weird Prompt

The Last Call
Write about a character as they walk into a bizarre bar filled with the strangest people. The catch? The bartender tells anyone who enters that they’re on “The Last Call” but continues serving drinks, and the band continues playing music. Double catch? This character has no recollection of how they got to this place.

Welcome back to ‘Max Plays’, a gaming segment where I play through a story-focused video game and examine the way that it builds a narrative. This game is something special to me— Harebrained Schemes’s revival of one of my favorite pen & paper RPGs: Shadowrun Returns! In this game we take the role of a character amidst a world where magic and technology exist in the far future of OUR world!

Welcome back to ‘Max Plays’, a gaming segment where I play through a story-focused video game and examine the way that it builds a narrative. This time around I am playing through a big one! None other than Square’s finest: Final Fantasy IX. In this game we take the role of a ragtag party of characters, and partake in a story that at first appears to be about war between two great nations— but there’s...

The Signs as Writers

Aries: They’ve been writing since they were really young. They are always working on a project, or attempting some crazy challenge. They don’t shy away from trying out new genres or writing styles. Once they want to do something, there’s no way to stop them.
Taurus: They may appear to have a controlled exterior, but all of that changes the instant you ask them about their characters. They write the most lovable & sweet characters, and they also happen to be their own #1 biggest fan— so bewa...
