Astrid's odyssey [PBP - collaborative strory writing]

About the adventure

We will play with the Story Time Frame rules, a play-by-post ruleset. This means you don't control just one character; instead, every player is a writer adding bits to a larger story. The beginning and end are defined, but still vague: ====[Fist day of spring, 128 years after the comet]=== 600 000 soldiers from various kingdoms and domains march south together with a shared goal. They will bring an end to Willem the Vile and save the future of mankind. ===[61th day of winter, 136 years after the comet]=== Astrid strikes her spear through Willem's chest. She can return home, the only survivor. Other than this, it is up to all of you. Maybe you can write about how scared a specific archer is and how his hands still tremble in the summer of 128. This messes up his shots. He fears he won't impress the knight he is so smitten with. Another player could pick up on this and write a bit about this character in the winter of 129, when he travels with a veteran mercenary who teaches the archer that being scared and caring is exactly what it takes to be brave. And in a couple more bits written by various players, we could learn about how this archer, in a great feat af bravery, sacrifices himself for the mission and to save his beloved. Since bits don't have to be chronological, our story is going to go a bit all over the place. And since we are all just adding to it without knowing the intentions of others, there is no pressure to create great writing. It will just be exciting to discover this story as we slowly draft it together.
