Graggar Stories, interlude

Please note, this post contains spoilers for the previous Graggar Stories.

...

First, now I've shared my early stories, on re-reading it's clear that the Graggar journal was written for me alone, and is lots of game notes, personal commentary and raw dice/adjudication text. Various podcasts and blogs handle the solo 'presentation' differently, and I think the better ones do "show their workings" (otherwise you are just reading a story) but blend them into a narrative better than I've done here. I decided to just publish the raw document that I'd written, rather than edit it into prettier prose, and hope you will indulge (and even appreciate) my learning and growing along the way. If you are new to solo, there is no right or wrong way to document your stories, and the journals/notes can just be for you, as mine were. Better to play and worry how it looks later, if ever.

Second, how can it be an interlude, when the main character is dead, you may ask? Well I was happy to let Graggar go into the afterlife because I was already looking at new systems to play with, partly for solo and partly for my IRL gaming group. We were playing a little Ten Candles, but that's not really what we were familiar with. Then my mate started up 5e D&D, so it became like the "gold rush" to get new games to the table. I was looking at PbtA (Powered by the Apocalypse) style games, and Simple World was a great springboard, but I was looking for something with a little more crunch (but not as much as Dungeon World yet!) Then I found:

World of Dungeons - https://www.dungeon-world.com/downloads/

So rather than convert Graggar to WoD, I waved him farewell. But he was to influence things further, as you will see.
