ok folks… its “tomorrow”, so let’s do this thing!
in the interest of K.I.S.S., and given the recent additions to combat in SH, I think the “theme” for this first round should be conflict…
Rules
we’re keeping it super simple this time folks… quicker “rounds” (which translates into shorter windows to write/vote) in the hopes that the pace will help improve the participation:
- in 350 words or less, tell a tale of conflict/struggle as it relates to the SH setting (goblin attacks on a settlement, etc.)
- 5 days to submit your story (deadline to enter this first round is Sunday, Feb 1st)
- 3 days to vote (deadline to vote on entries for this first round is Wednesday, Feb 4th)
Rewards
as per usual, custom titles will be handed out for those that place in the top three positions (after all the “rounds” of this workshop have been completed)… as well as (potentially) some Steam swag…
as an example of the 350 word threshold/requirement, here’s an example entry:

fairly easy to generate for the writer, and easily consumable by the reader…
have fun!
