Thanks for the feedback Alwyn. I was afraid of using unnecessarily convoluted language so much of the original drafts were cut and redone, I left lines like the one you described in on purpose more...

Thanks for the feedback Alwyn. I was afraid of using unnecessarily convoluted language so much of the original drafts were cut and redone, I left lines like the one you described in on purpose more...
Thanks Swaeft! I might not post very often but I love coming back when I can and checking out everyone's creative pieces, really gets better every time.
Hello again! The last submission I gave was a snippet of a book I was working on. That book is finished now, it's called 'The Anticipators' and I'm doing a giveaway on Amazon if you might be...
Thanks for reading Alwyn! This is definitely something I've began to explore more in writing. There's an element of deceit and distrust between narrator and narratee that - if utilized - can provide...
Thanks for reading! My work is usually an on-and-off project but I'll always make sure to share, whenever I have an update worth sharing.
Hi all, it's been a while. I've been busy since I last posted some stories here, but I thought I'd share some again. In my last two stories, Tale of a Man and Savages, I mentioned they were part of a...
That's a very good piece, you've given well thought out narratives and concise imagery in a pretty compact structure. I dare say you could restructure it into a poem, which would serve to emphasize...
Hi there, I just dug up an old story I wrote a few years back, when I was still in school. It's very short and was more of a young idea, a little scene I wanted to write down lest it wither away in...
Thank you for reading them! And yeah, I've been tempted to share each individual short story of this planned series on here with you guys before compiling it, but I thought it might be unwise as I...
Hello there, for those who read Tale of a Man (Google Doc Link), I promised I would write a sequel. Well, here it is.
SAVAGES
Quiet came the echoed dawn.
Great quiet and howls of...
Oh, fantastic! I'm not usually involved beyond the submission to this forum, but there's no harm in trying it out. Thanks for pointing me to it.
TALE OF A MAN
by Sconderix
Morrow came by the Roheekan frontier. An alien design plunged into its soil. And from under the Sun emerged One who is not where he is supposed to be.
This is a...
Glad you enjoyed it Alwyn, I appreciate the feedback. I'm currently starting another story in similar fashion to Tale of a Man, it features our same mysterious wanderer. It will be called 'Savages'....
Chapter 5
“In a tread we hold new,
grasp the sparse handle.
Rise up, O Mantle!
Take on the starry eye.
A man challenges.”
Hey guys, sorry about the lack of updates. Life continues to get in the way of pastimes as usual, for those who may have been keeping tab, hope you enjoy the new chapter. I will try hard to complete...
Chapter 4
“Set within the Ample Heart,
dreams of a Maiden unanchored.
Beware thy heart not yearn,
down in depths and away from the Sun.
A man courts her.”
Chapter 3
“Towards the Bright Fire,
throw thy arms aloft.
Grieve and give thanks,
for thou art not forsaken in worship.
A man watches.”
Chapter 2
“To a house of troubles,
one rides boldly.
Just blood of a lurid crimson,
retire thy banners.
A man approaches.”
Thanks for the comments guys! Glad you like it. Hopefully I will try and have the second chapter done by the end of the week.
I'd sooner a Dune mod be made before people go for ASOIAF yet again.
Chapter 1
“Height of the Bright Fire,
bring echoes of righteous fury.
Came to us,
borne by the Sun and Two Moons.
A man.”
TALE OF A MAN
Prologue
Disconnection! What an odd thing to feel, as one hurtled down into the atmosphere of a vastly sized planetary body.
I held onto the yoke of my spacecraft in a...
I've not been on this site in a least a year or two, but hearing about EB2 has gotten me pretty excited to boot up M2TW again. Awesome job guys can't wait to download it!
Friendly reminder that if you continue to purchase DLC the developers will see it as a plus, and DLC content will continue. If you want games like the ones in the earlier series where the game is...
Whenever I hear him or hear him mentioned I can't help but remember this

He's probably just some stubborn git who won't change his views for any progressive crowd, it's how they are. You're better off arguing over his content rather than him. He won't change.
While he is acting a bit unreasonable, that in no way calls for using the 'get a life' call - which is inherently the worse comeback, put-down or insult someone could fathom. Do you know where we are?
Trouble is we've had the same map of Europe for nearly every game except Shogun, so that in itself is getting repetitive.

Are you joking? China's landscape would be bloody awesome in terms of having strategic battlegrounds.
They should add an East Asian theater, so once your Empire has taken over all of the known world, a new theater opens up letting you conquer the unknown one. That would be fun as alternate history...
Creative Assembly are one of the better companies surviving at the moment, and their games are still of decent quality when they've been updated properly. I have no qualms about them continuing the...
Do you think the soldiers from the more civilized factions will be as disciplined and responsive as EB1? One thing I noted about the Medieval 2 engine is that Infantry are quite slack when it comes...
back to /v/ with you
Rome > Medieval 2 > Empire > Shogun 2 > Shogun/Medieval > Napoleon > Rome 2
Europa Universalis IV beats them all though :thumbsup2
Hello again, it's been a month or so since my last story; and seeing as I am enjoying a short holiday from study I would like to make another contribution to my collection. The story itself is more...
