I know my recent game just game out, The Great Tournament 2, but I figured I give you an update on some other things I have been working on, since I have a few people messaging me. I actually have several Work in Progresses (WIPs), not sure if I will finish each one as I tend to start one, and then get another idea and work on another. For example, I started a sci-fi one that involved you being a pilot in which you work closely with an android, but quickly switched to another involving getting lost on a camping trip.
There is one Work In Progress I keep coming back to and have been working on and off for several months. I actually have about three chapters written, but I am only sending a link to the first chapter. It is an older version too, so don’t worry so much about typos, just trying to get an idea on what you think of the characters. (It is only 1 chapter so you might not be able to fully understand the personalities and motivations, but two of the characters are from TG2.)
If you could play a game right now which would it be?
Life of Mercenary (Dark Medieval Fantasy)
Getting lost on a camping trip (Mystery / Survival)
Pilot (Sci-fi and Action)
I would play any of these

Update #1: A lot more scenes have been written, but not yet updated on the link.
Update #2: Hi all, I am considering changing the name to A Mercenary’s Life. There is a series on hosted games that starts with “Life of” (Life of a Wizard and Life of a Mobster).
Update #3: If you wish to sign up to be a beta tester or simply give feedback please take this survey**
You surely know how to write medieval…
And Ramshorn… im happy to see this story takes place in the same realm with GT sequel, also looking forward to see two of the characters from it.
Companions are quite exciting as well. disagreements between people and you being the tiebreaker has always been interesting for me, and i think also for many others.
Being a mercenary is interesting as well… You added a bit of economy and finance—through a company—into it which gives a nice taste besides the adventure of it.
Putting the story off the table, i always admired your writing ability. Even with a short chapter you let us live the story from the very beginning of it and i already have the scenery in my mind.
I would be glad to see you keep working on this story more
P.S: In GT sequel we didn’t have the chance to save and i think thats how you want us to play, but as for the demo you should probably want to put a saving option (when you add more chapters) so we can continue from where we left. I dont know if its possible by cookies but i think it wasn’t on dashingdon, i see you uploaded this is to somewhere else tho.
EDIT: Also wondering if it happens to be in the same time as GT, maybe small encounters would be a nice thing to see
Is Life of a Mercenary sort of a spin-off from Great Tournament? I think it can have lots of potential …as we know the kingdom of Brunish is in turmoil , Lady Antonia may or may not be dead…could it be that the Mercenary be given a choice of either helping Lady Antonia or Frederick to gain the throne of Brunich?
But i do hope you can consider a spin-off with the Kingdom of Valyrian as well , for me it is interesting to involve in a Knight-Kingdom … kind of like Kingdom of Bretonia of Warhammer , and since Lady Knights are given prominent role in Valyra, such as Lady Elena and Karina, i suppose the protagonist can be a female Main Character as well… although i am not sure whether Valyra accept a Queen like Magincia did
and some Barbarian Tribes are still disrespectful to female even if she is a Queen … one Barbarian tribe even dare to kidnap Queen Hannah during the peace negotiation It remind me of a story in the Conan Chronicle where the Queen endure a cruel and tragic fate , but in the Great Tournament universe, it is a similar world like the Conan universe where Barbarian Tribes are still strong , Magincia is the most civilised kingdom of them all … so it will be interesting to see how Female Protagonist rise to prominent there
Anyway, you had already done marvelous job on all of Lady Elena , Karina , Nadine and Abilene as Female warriors , they are all equivalent to Red Sonja (Conan’s counterpart) for my opinion
Definitely looking forward to read more medieval theme story from you @Jerieth
Finally I’ve decided to try the demo, thanks to @Eric_knight. I like the idea of being a captain mercenary and of course, it’s all about the money I’m anxious to see how the story goes
You are welcome , i am happy to gain one more fan to @Jerieth’s work
Hey…i chose the option “To help People” … and i laugh so hard when the author gives the remark " Yeah…Right "
But i AM helping people, i help Vera by adopting her to my merry band of mercenaries the story start off very encouragingly , can’t wait to train Vera into my spy-assassin … is it an Evil act though ? I do need to find a valid reason to allow Vera to stay right ??
Well… we are helping people and for the money at the same time … we do have choice about what type of missions we accept right? we also can rob the rich and help the poor at the same time
Killing evil people is Good … not only we are saving innocent people by killing the bad one, we are also saving the bad one from committing more sins …Lol
But i suspect Vera can’t really assassinate anyone , i am worry about sending her to such mission
High Five !!! My friend … glad we are on the same page
Good point… Vera could help us in negotiating a better deal and at the same time persuading information from unsuspecting people … She will be the perfect spy to eavesdrop useful information as well, not to mention…she seems good in management skill (she is a merchant’s daughter) , hence she definitely could help managing our castle when we are away …
most importantly, Vera will want to stay with us voluntary …it will save us lots of cost of hiring another mercenary as well
I like this, but if it ends up with all the RNG that is in GT, I might pass. I got really tired of restarting 50 plus times, because I kept missing tournaments or got there early and thus wasted time. RNG is my bane, and I might be one of the most despised humans to the RNG gods.
Please I play these game so that my decisions and not random chance matters. @Jerieth
High Five again !!! our Mercenary Guild will be the deadliest and most Vigilant of them all …one day perhaps we can even set up a little Kingdom of our own
