A Tale of Sails. Havana.
Characters: Billy Oboe, Munch
Chapter 1 of a tale of sails will consist of turn 1 of the board game merchants and marauders. My captain’s home port in this play through was havana, which is where this tale begins.
Watching paint dry
Chapter: Board Games, Dinke and Dilly
The idea of the winter soap is good but the execution is lacking. It came out ok. Seed planted for next Billy oboe play through. Merchant and Marauders starts Friday. It’s one of, if not my favorite game. I took the time to paint the minis and get metal coins to clink around with. I love how over the top the game is, turn on the Pirates of the Caribbean music and go on an adventure.
Fairy Tales
Chapter: Board Games, Dinke and Dilly
Once upon a time is a great little game. Everyone gets dealt a hand of cards and tries to get steer the story to their own ending card to “win”. I ended up drowning the character once to win. One person thought it was hilarious, the other was horrified.
The End
Characters: Billy Oboe
Well this is the end of the first Billy Oboe story. The idea didn’t turn out quite as I wanted. Taking over the strip for this long has some issues. Instead of completely taking over with the next game story I’ll take over a couple of days during the week. It also won’t be black and white. I need to do a serious postmortem on this to learn from mistakes along the way.
The Spire
Characters: Billy Oboe, Tugger
Turn 6 – entering the other world left only one sanity point left. This is the last turn.
The Science building was replaced by the church. I didn’t have the game played through completely when I set this world up. so Lesson learned there. I also won’t due a continuous long form takeover like this. I don’t like pulling away from normal strips this long. I think I will split up the week a little with these from now on.
Run
Characters: Billy Oboe, Owl
Turn 6 – enter the science building
For story’s sake I’ve replace the science building with the church. I doubt a small dying town would have science building. This is the start of the last turn.
Terror
Characters: Billy Oboe
Turn 5 – a shoggoth appears in the gate location. Very little sanity left at this point. Danger and answers rapidly approach.
The movement description was birthed from this picture angel oak and the thought of how a tree like that would grow if it was a creature chasing you.
