Stepchild

By Empire of Winterflank

Third in line for the throne. You're not even runner up. You're the runner up's standby. Unforeseen tragedy would need to befall twice before you feel the weight of a crown. Thusly, every day is the same in Castle Winterflank: breakfast, abuse from your brothers, destructive calamity out of your control that you are blamed for, dinner, sleep, breakfast... If only someone with a fresh perspective could assist; someone who could intervene to break you out of this rut you find yourself in. But that's nonsense! As much a flight of fantasy as dragons, and that ridiculous notion that the world continues past the horizon where it plainly drops into the abyss. Who could possibly conceive otherwise? **STEPCHILD** is a fantasy/mystery tale reworked for StoryNexus from an original incomplete parser text-adventure written in Inform 7. I apologize for the delays in completing it, as the narrative has exploded under the FailBetter model from its humble beginning into something vastly more complex. I am no longer rushing to finish it, and I will send out notifications when it's ready if you'd care to create a player name. Thank you for your patience!

Soft. Cuddly. Sometimes worrisome.

Knightly Tales

By PostalElf

Ever dreamed of being a knight? Of course you did. Wearing one of those big metal suits of armour on a white horse, charging down a green field to strike down your foes for the honour of your king and the love of your lady. It's the high life for sure. Except being a knight isn't really all that it's cracked up to be. The endless paperwork, the constant upkeep of one's estate, the ceaseless need to keep up appearances through decorum and courtly manners... it's enough to drive one up the wall and down the other side into realms of madness and insanity. Now being a king, on the other hand...

The Place of Mists

By weregamer

This experimental story reverses the meme/trope of the soul trap (as seen in countless RPGs and at least one TV show) to examine the story of the soul caught inside, waiting for the gate to open or the mirror to be looked into or so forth.

Death of a Songbird

By Alyssa Barstow

DOAS is an ever-expanding story based on the epic simplicity of pen and paper role playing games. DOAS is constantly being added to and I always take suggestions, so play away!

Orchestra

By Squire Ned

A cyberpunk adventure in 2059 after cataclysms rock the world and bring a mysterious metaphysical force into existence. _Orchestra has been canceled, at least for the foreseeable future. I made some major mistakes from the get-go, and I'm moving on to another project. It may see a remake eventually, rebuilt from the ground up, but this is essentially as far as it will get with these mechanics._

Final Tomb

By Crystalwind

Not long ago, miners discovered a huge, buried maze of brick passages. Whatever its purpose, it seems to be the last sign of a race. A race whose bones litter the ground of it. What mysteries does it hold? Well, there's only one way to find out. Just be careful, for there is a lot of interest being taken in the ruins by the nearby city of Starwind, and many of the people eager to learn its secrets have dark agendas, and will stop at nothing to get their hands on some relics.
