Two more books added to the list. I really should get more fiction to read...

I mostly used real world, or real-ish, names for humans but that because fantasy names often end up as silly or looking the same. Not to mention that it signals some things to the reader which are in accordance to what I want to signal to them. Or at least it signals that to me when I'm reading.

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.

Dark Souls. I've defeated all the bosses except the new boss for this run; Gwyndolin. Once I've overcome him its straight to the final boss Gwyn and finish this run. After which I should be ready to start with Dark Souls 2.

I like the basics, from what I can deduce, from the two top posts, of this story. Like others have said there's alot of work that would need to be done, but a if that work is put in I think something good could come out. I think it has potential. After all many stories grow from an...

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.
