Helllooooo, minions!
So we've got a bit of a hat trick here, three No Rest for the Wicked sessions in a row. That's scheduling weirdness for ya. (Next week will probably be Starfinder, though, just a heads up.)
So not much has happened since my last write-up, so let's just jump right in.
A place for writings, gaming reports, and so forth by Chris Shaffer (known in some circles as 'MythicFox.') Not that I'm anyone too important. I'm a writer, a furry fan, and an RPG freelancer. (DriveThruRPG affiliate links may provide store credit.)

Song in the Dark, Day 1
Unless you count my various Chronicles of Darkness fictions (which take place in a vague setting without a whole lot of strict 'canon' other than what I put into them), it's been forever since I've dabbled in fanfic and I'm not sure I've ever finished a proper one. Either way, this isn't something I do often. But playing through Night in the Woods sparked something in me; while I didn't grow up in a town exactly like Possum Springs, I saw enough of similar places and met enough similar people that the game struck a chord and I took it upon myself to start writing.
Admittedly, I don't know exactly how long the whole story's going to be. I've got the plot roughly worked out, and I've got this much and a bit of the next chapter and we'll see where it goes from there.
The story overlaps with the timeline of the game, and while people who've played the game should recognize where they link up (and which story choices contributed to the 'canon' in which this fanfic resides), I've endeavored to write this such that you don't need knowledge of the game to enjoy or understand it. I hope I've succeeded.
Anyhow, let me know what you think, that'll help me decide how and whether this is worth finishing.
The story begins just below the cut. If you'd rather download this as a PDF and/or read it on a site other than this blog, I also have it up on my FurAffinity page and on SoFurry. (Warning: Neither of these sites should be considered SFW in general.)

No Rest for the Wicked: Old Business
Greetings, minions. I know this seems pretty quick, but a few things lined up to get us another session of No Rest For the Wicked right away, which means you get another write-up!

No Rest for the Wicked: Hashtag Badass Crater 2
Helloooooo, minions!
Welcome back to another write-up from my No Rest for the Wicked game. We've had all sorts of scheduling madness and overcoming them required performing a series of devious challenges -- First we had to collect 139,377 brown rocks, then kill Ug-Thak, Lord of Skags, then pilfer the Lost Staff of Mount Schuler, defeat the Destroyer of Worlds, then dance for Claptrap's enjoyment.
But we did that, and then we got to play.
As a wise skeleton once said, let's just get to the point.
