[Hitai de Bodemloze]

The tale of a young boy caught in the spider's web of revolutionary Japan. Relentlessly pursued by imperial agents and jaded samurai, not to mention peculiar nuns and strange men in monkey masks, can he survive a journey across the ever-shifting Edo landscape? In a time where men and reduced to commodities and commodities are revered as men, can he forge a life of his own or will his closely kept secrets prove to be his undoing?

[Roman Heritage]

Here I am again, let's see if I can fare as well as in the previous c:

Title: KRONIKON TO BASILEION

Author: Roman Heritage

Game: Medieval II Total War, Stainless Steel 6.4

Faction: Eastern Roman Empire



A tale of war, politics and phanatism, faith and ambition, greed and glory. A tale of princes and Kings, of warlords and scholars, a tale of an Empire which, under the leadership of the House of Komnenoi, tries to slowly return to its former glory, while the world around changes each passing day. A tale of Rome, of its most triumphant successes and its most bitter defeats, of its worthiest allies, and deadliest enemies. This is a Chronicle of Emperors - the Kronikon ton Basileion.

I too will try again!

Title: Reunification: a Marcomanni AAR

Author: hooahguy14

Game: Rome 2 with the Radious overhaul mod

Faction: The Marcomanni, with the Imperator Augustus campaign

This AAR follows the trials and tribulations of the Marcomanni tribe as they climb the ladder to glory and greatness! They do so by uniting the rest of the Germanic tribes to reclaim their old glory which they achieved in my older AAR with the Suebi, also in Rome 2, which it references multiple times so reading the Suebi AAR before this one is advised, but not mandatory. It is rather picture-heavy so slow internet connections beware! Though I strive for great battle screenshots so even if it takes two hours to load all of them, you will never be disappointed!

Critics love it!

"What a wonderful introduction. Screenshots are impressive as always!!" -Chirurgeon

"An enthralling story with stunning images" and "The continuing rise of your confederation is impressive with great reporting of battles and stunning screenshots (+rep)." -Alwyn

"Wow! Great update. Your screenshots are amazing! It felt as if I was actually on the battlefield as read through." -Scottish King

Together with their Roman and Germanic allies, they carve a path of tangled webs and bloodied blades into an uncertain future against the Flagellum Dei himself, and will stand on the precipice of the fall of civilization, and the wreckage of it's monuments, only to reclaim it under a legendary warrior king that can create a new kingdom from the ashes.

Attila: TW Vanilla + All DLC
Faction: Ostrogoths
Difficulty: Hard

As usual, I'm late, but here I am (and this time I'm actually in Skyrim).

It's a Skyrim AAR that doesn't start in Skyrim. It's a Skyrim AAR that doesn't even start in the same world as Skyrim. It's the story of a man who doesn't know where he is, doesn't know why he's there, and hasn't the first idea what to do about it. It's the story of a world riven by civil war, a world where the dead walk, a world where nobody's ever heard of aspirin. And then the dragons arrive...


Title: A Long Way From Home
Author: Caillagh
Game: Skyrim (definitely, this time)

[Lugotorix]

Should we go ahead? We have five.
