Song of the Week

Sam Brookes, “Numb”

Happy Monday! I hope you are enjoying some sunshine. Here in the Frozen North, we had spring for about a week, and it seems to be summer now.

I will be back on Wednesday with another chapter of Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea. Our heroes have returned to Phyreios for a final confrontation, but there will be obstacles in their path.

We have a new router! Which means better Internet speeds! I may try to stream something, maybe Friday? I’ll post an update if I do.

Have an excellent week.

Mikky Ekko, “Time”

Happy Monday! Not much to report here. Spring may or may not have finally arrived in a torrent of rain. There will be a new chapter of Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea here on Wednesday. See you then!

Song of the Week

Shelby Merry, “Don’t Follow”

Happy Monday! I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.

We are nearing the end of Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea! I’m guessing there will be three or four more chapters. I’ll be back on Wednesday with Chapter XXII. If you’ve been reading and enjoying it, thank you! You can help me out by telling your friends about it 🙂

Have an excellent week.

Song of the Week

Florence + the Machine, “Drumming Song”

Happy Monday!

Today is May the Fourth, which is Star Wars Day! To observe this day, I’ll have a Star Wars story up later this afternoon. It’s called Love Song in Six Verses and it’s very sad, though I’ve been told it’s a better love story than Attack of the Clones.

Edit: you can find Love Song in Six Verses here.

I will also be back Wednesday with another chapter of Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea.

Have an excellent week.

Song of the Week

Joni Mitchell, “A Case of You”

Happy Monday! It’s finally getting warm here, so soon I will be able to dress like a proper post-apocalyptic villager from a town named after half a street sign. I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.

I’ll be back on Wednesday with a new chapter of Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea, so I’ll see you then!

Have an excellent week.

Song of the Week

In the Valley Below, “Hymnal”

Happy Monday! Where I am, the sun is finally shining. Perhaps I will venture out into the empty city today and feel like the protagonist of a postapocalyptic novel.

I’ll be back on Wednesday with a new chapter of Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea, and on Friday with more Myst gameplay. I’m not sure if I’ll continue with Myst, as it isn’t very entertaining to watch or record (though it is a fun challenge to play), but I do have one more episode recorded and might as well post it.

Stay safe out there!

Song of the Week

Ben Howard, “In Dreams”

Happy Monday!

The enforced closings of restaurants and public places have arrived where I am, and it looks like we’ll all be isolated for the foreseeable future. Please take care of yourselves and each other and wash your hands.

I have plenty here on this blog if you’re in need of something to pass the time. My Call of Cthulhu module, The Well Below the Valley, is now complete! You can start reading here or go to the table of contents under the “Read my writing” tab above. Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea is a free story that is about halfway done; you can start here or see the table of contents under the same “Read my writing” tab. I’ll be back Wednesday with Chapter XIV. And if you need a new twenty-second musical verse to time washing your hands, I have a new Song of the Week every Monday.

Good luck, stay safe, and have an excellent week.

Song of the Week

Noah Gundersen, “Oh Death”

Happy Monday! The sun is shining here, but I’m hesitant to say that it’s spring yet. (Groundhog Day has always been an odd experience for me, as a person who lives in a place where “six more weeks of winter” and “an early spring” are two ways of expressing the same idea).

I’ll be back on Wednesday with a short-ish chapter of Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea, where we’ll be setting up for the chariot race and the end of the tournament. See you then!

Song of the Week

The Silent Comedy, “Bartholomew”

Happy Monday! Please enjoy this song. You might recognize it from the trailer for Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition.

I’ll be back on Wednesday with the rest of Chapter Three of The Well Below the Valley. We’re coming to the end of the module! When it’s done, I may start posting another project, or I might just post chapters of Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea until it’s also done. I’ll have more updates on that later.

Have an excellent week.

Song of the Week

Amaral, “Llegará la tormenta” (cover of Bob Dylan’s “A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall”)

Happy Monday!

This week, I’ll be posting the first part of Chapter Three of The Well Below the Valley. We’re getting closer to endgame, and I’m very excited. See you on Wednesday!
