Then I wrote this up and never posted it. Here's an expanded and edited version! I'm coming to this with a focus on long-form interactive fiction with customisable player characters, of the kind that I publish with Choice of Games, but it's applicable to other kinds of narrative game too, or worldbuilding in general. Enjoy!ArticleJanuary 28Public 10 2Bonus Supplement: Denario: HomeHere's the second January bonus story!

At the same time it kind of doesn't: by the time my CoG games are released, I'm usually looking ahead to the next thing. But I'm really pleased with how Honor Bound has done! If you've enjoyed it, please do rate or review - in this small niche of game releases, every little helps and any sales go straight into helping me pay the bills.
