CM Simpson: Writer & Gamer

Janisari battles bandits, find specialty dish ingredients, & continues looking for Morai.  

The readings front is still running light, but I have videos in process. In the meantime, today's reading is a science-fiction take inspired by an old nursery rhyme: On the gaming front: We're the resident workshop owner and salvage diver in Critter Cove: Continuing with our taverning at Travellers Rest: Do a little house-flipping for a retired teacher and her cats: Explore some serious skeletons in a noble-woman's closet: Travel through a land ravaged by plague as we help investigate its source: And get to go hunting as a marauder in an adventure episode released a day early:

Here's a handy-dandy list of the videos posted for today: Readings are a little light, as I revamp my release schedule. Today, it's a piece of science-fantasy flash do with a mercenary company's unscrupulous recruiting techniques in a setting where starships and trolls coincide:       On the gaming front, we have:  A little cozy taverning: How to join the Fighters Guild in Elder Scrolls Online: More adventures in Auridon with Tamrain, our (soon-to-be) Master Crafter: And some undersea and overland island projects on a Coral Island:

We make a much-delayed return to Solace, where Ariel Blue builds the beginnings of an airport.

Well, it's true, but I also need down-time, and I need to give the writing part of my head time to work out plot kinks and new story, while the other part of my head is occupied with something else...and then there are the days I feel down, or need a break, or just have to shut the world out for a while, or need to deal with a bout of depression I can't shift by making story.
