Final Week Fables: Legend of the Five Rings: Junshin

“I am Shinjo Temujin, outrider the Ninth Junghar Legion. And I shall stand for Shosuro Genichiro.”

This month’s short story is a sequel to another one on this site! The first of its kind!

…What do you mean “Who’s even keeping count anymore”?

Before the battle of the fist, comes the battle of the mind, and WHAT IS THAT HAIR?

Final Week Fables: Legend of the Five Rings: Masks

“We all wear masks, Shinjo-san.”

Today’s pic…was actually picked to fit the fic, and not the story written to fit the picture.

Why ask for a trillion yen…when we can demand a BILLION yen?

Some of you may not know what this fic is about, so here’s a brief summary!

Legend of the Five Rings. Samurai Game of Thrones, released before Game of Thrones. Fantasy-Japan, Clans supposed to be united but competing against each other constantly.

And the focus of THIS fic are the scheming plotter Clan: The Scorpions.

Final Week Fables: A Lifetime

Despite how long those grudges burn, these two are untouched by its embers.

Whelp, SUPER late with this post which I should have gotten done last week!

But hey. Partly busy with work, partly just taking time to relax. That’s how it is.

However, I did have this story percolating in my head for a bit!

And what might it be?

Mum says I get to play with the doll next.

Well, here it is! Hope you enjoy it, ladies and gents!

Ret’s Review: Squid Game

You may now proceed to call me “basic”.

So I opted to enjoy my weekend taking a break after a draining week, but hey, it’s time for some somewhat original content!

By which I mean I am posting my opinion on the internet, as was intended for the internet.

So here, have a belated review of something…TRENDING! Kinda.

Terrible Tardy Tales: Halt Who Goes There

“Tog not know inner machinations of Grog brain!”

Suuuuuuuper late update. Chalk it up to laziness and writer’s block. But one way or another, the show must go on!

And what is the image inspiring the tale?

“Wait, wait, wait, the rulebook says you can only attack as a reaction if I leave your threatened area-“

Well. Now to see if it was worth the wait! Ehhhhhhhhhhh.

Character Flaws: A Flawed Premise?

Yes. I am equating character flaws to an emo phase.

Super late update again! Mostly because I was just stuck in relaxing mode, and didn’t have much inspiration for a monthly topic. But I DID have an idea stuck in my head which I drafted, so let’s run with that!

And for this post, I’ll be presenting a controversial opinion. A hot take, if you will.

And that is: You don’t need character flaws to make a character interesting.

There. I said it.

Final Week Fables: Giantrification

The very nice plot of land, being an inanimate piece of geography, was powerless to protest.

Sim Kingdom

Alrighty, let’s see what we’ve got here!

Final Week Fables: Forests & Fey

“We do not have a dozen different bonuses boosting your rolls for the absurdly bloated Armour Classes and Difficulty Checks.”

So I’m super late with this, mostly because I actually used my weekend resting. But I soldiered on and kept writing! …ish! …And got it done the week after!

So what’s February’s picture inspiring my story? The picture you probably saw as the first thing you noticed about this post?

None other than THIIIIIS!

Is this…a game within a game?

So…let’s get into it, then!
