After two long days travelling by slow boat on the steady current of the Mekong River, we were ready to plant our feet in Luang Prabang. Its promise of street markets and quiet charm would be a welcome change.
Bok McDonagh
I am Bok, a British-born expat living in China. I was born in Lancashire but identify as a 'plassie-Scouser'. I spent my youth growing up in Cumbria. Here I developed a great taste for exploration, climbing mountains and camping in the wilderness - a taste for travel that has defined my life.
Colossal Danger of Skoros
Our scout troops explored the wrong ruins and unleashed a beast upon the land. A colossal glowing beast, fuelled by Dust. A Guardian angered by our consumption of the Dust that fuels our civilisation.
Handling and Preventing Errors
Mistakes are an inevitable part of coding, and debugging is where the real problem-solving begins. This will inevitably lead to bugs. When you notice a bug you will, of course, spend some time figuring out what went wrong. There are two ways to tackle these bugs: detection and prevention.
Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
The Celestial’s Sacrifice
On their way to the Firewine Bridge Ruins, the Troupe found a cave haunted by the ghost of Torqion. Aegon promised to obtain a “Vampiric Sword” to free the ghost from its curse. They now continue on their way to the Ruins, seeking treasures and curses alike.
Slow Boat to Luang Prabang
We were in Huay Xai, a border city in Laos. Across the river we could still see Thailand, a place we were already missing. On that day we would take the slow boat to Luang Prabang, a journey that would span multiple days.
ENDLESS Legend: A New Age
After countless restarts in ENDLESS Legend, I’ve finally forged an empire that feels promising. My Wild Walkers have grown from a single fledgling city to a thriving kingdom of five regions—and for once, I believe I can see this game through to the end.
Adding More Moth Varieties
This week I added a couple of new moths to Bok’s Banging Butterflies. One is another silk moth, this one a little colourful. The other is the tiniest of Clothes Moths.
Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
Ambush at Beregost Temple
The Troupe visits Beregost on their way to the Firewine Ruins. They check in on Taerom Fuiruim who has found a way to counter the kobold poison used in the Nashkel Mines, and take the time to rest up.
