Re: Keep Safe!

I haven't seen Lots post an episode in a while. I hope that he is OK.

Re: 2021 Resolution

I have written five of my ten episodes and it is only February. :) I think that there are good possibilities in this thread. Fred could be in combat with the dragon in the next episode or two and a decisive result would not end the story. There are two promising complications: the quest for the jar,...

Re: 2021 Resolution

No problems, Ib. I found a substitute for a torch. We would not want Fred to be eaten by a grue. (Zork reference, in case you are too young to remember text-based adventure games.) :) In 117885 it did not state that he threw away Belboz's receipt for the flamebane mail. So I figure that use of the r...

Re: 2021 Resolution

Thanks, JH. I should know better, but when I read about the "Khanate of the Golden Horde" in the history books, I have a vision of Tartars guarding a large pile of gold in a tent somewhere out on the steppes. I will do another pass to correct spelling and punctuation. I try to add enough d...

Re: 2021 Resolution

I see that there are some new episodes. Good ideas. I should be able to work with these. I will note that one of the parent episodes, 884, has two links. I started from episode 2 and worked my way through episode 539, Aquaduct. In this branch, Fred descends the ladder, visits the wine cellar, and fo...

Re: Keep Safe!

I think of 2020 as a hurricane year. After a hurricane, everyone in the area suffers from the destruction. Some get relatively lucky and just have branches and pine straw littering the lawn, others have had trees fall on their houses, and still others have been hurt or even killed. Christmas Day 202...

Re: Season's Greetings

Merry Christmas to you too, JH.

I have added "write twelve episodes for Sir Toby's Extend-A-Story" to my New Year's resolution list for 2021.

Oregon has been in the news with wildfires. I hope Sir Toby is OK.

Re: Keep Safe!

Thanks, JH. I hope that you and all the other authors are well. I am healthy so far. There are not many COVID-19 cases in the Charleston SC area yet, although I know more than the usual number of friends and acquaintances were down with normal colds in February than in past years. I am likely to go ...

Re: Favorite Black Void Story

If I left the option to extend 3871 in a different direction, and you wish to introduce a new idea, or just provide a way out of the story-within-a-story, please do so. I have some problems with how I laid out the parent episode 3861. If I had it to do over again, I would probably go in a different ...

Re: New Addventure Site Up Now

Welcome to the site! I am glad to see someone is using the Extend-A-Story software. I did not write it, but I have enjoyed creating episodes for the Never Ending Quest with it. I went to your site. It looks like you have done some work on it. I have not posted, as I do not want to start things off i...

Re: Absent Friends

I agree with that, JH and Noise Tank. Simple is very much underrated. Thanks to Sir Toby for keeping this site up twenty years, and to JH, Ben, and the many other contributors to the site over the years.

And Happy Birthday to the NEQ. Today is the 20th anniversary of episodes 1 and 2. :D

Happy New Year. We are getting close to the 20th anniversary of the publication of the first episode.
