Archived: Chronicle of Spain - A Redux 1004 AAR (Updated 1/2/14)

Hi @Cyprian2,

....wow...so waiting for it had it´s worth....

You being such a skilled author, boiling up all the tiny bits and pieces making a great story, should write books ;-))

The way you describe the mood of situations, how you condense a story from dry game feedbacks is, I have to say again, simply great. I was laughing at some bits you strew in, like about the unloving marrieds, or the blushing little brother...

Battle descriptions, and the characterisation of family and enemies, altogether give an atmosphere to this AAR that lets me feel to be in the middle of the whole story happening.

Another masterpiece, for sure, and thanks for it!

nearly envious greetings ;-)) daigaku

Thanks, as always, @daigaku.

One of ambitions in life is to write and publish novels. But I don't pretend that AAR writing could ever pass for literature. Still, it's a lot of fun to tell of my campaign this way. So many plot-points are suggested with every single turn. And so, there's a lot more to come!

best,

Cyprian

Hi @Cyprian2,

...for my taste, good enough to write historical novels - like Bernard Cornwell, but with your unique style ;-))

keep going strong!

Well, @daigaku, it's funny you should mention Bernard Cornwell. Just today, I finished The Pagan Lord -- such an amazing series, the Saxon stories! I am beyond flattered that you could even think of me in the same breath as him.

You've inspired me to write more!

Hi @Cyprian2,

You've inspired me to write more!

Waiting for it! But please, just because I mentioned Cornwell, don´t start to give your AAR this gruntling tone he uses so often for his main characters ;-)). I´m quite happy with the way you write/describe........

looking forward greetings, daigaku

Is it just me, or are you getting better at this, Cyp? I totally dig, the new chapters... Maybe you should increase the intervals of releases and publish a chapter at a time? Just brainstorming here...

Hi, all.

Unfortunately, I'm not back with an update, but to report a disaster...

My harddrive was fried during a lightning storm a couple weeks ago, and since I was so foolish as to not have backed anything up, it looks as though I may have lost everything. I have the computer elves working on the problem, but it remains to be seen whether they will be able to retrieve anything. Anyway, the AAR is now officially on hold. If this one proves to be kaput, I will surely start another (and with a different faction).
