Game Master Monday – Details, episodes & analysis

This week we are supporting our friends over at Tales Yet Told and their ongoing one shot anthology OUR LIVES IN THE WOOD

Episode 5 - This Isn't A Football Game | This Game Takes Place In Your Home Town

October 7, 85 AE

4 weeks after the Oak Creek Incident

After two days of searching the Writer's Archive, the Writer has more questions than answers. The discovery of his missing stories and memories is pushing him to a breaking point. All he has to go on is a story he doesn't remember writing, about a city he doesn't remember existing, and a riddle that might point toward whoever it is that wanted him to find both.
