Anne's Fiction Corner

Man, is it still Christmas? We've got new art, we've got visiting players, and now we also have one more treat in the form of some more player-contributed fiction for the Gangs of New York game. If I didn't have death-flu, I'd be partying on the roof.

For those who have been eagerly awaiting more in the saga of Russel Pride, awkward but endearing puncher of monsters, today we present Punch Drunk: Made of Steel, the third and final installment of this particular game's shenanigans, featuring Russel along with bandmates Anton Volconi, Skylar Copperwaithe, Isaac Green and Zoe Vrontopoulos. In it, Russel finds out a lot of things he didn't really want to know and faces a lot of things he didn't really want to mess around with, but he also figures out some important things about himself in the process. Also, punching fire demons.

That'll be it from Russel for a little while, since his story just ended and the Gangs group will be reforming for a new story in a week or two, but don't despair. He's scheduled to be in the next band as well, so we may yet hear more of his antics in the Big Apple.

  1. This is such a good series!
    i like Russel spiting Isaac.
    What Creature is ''Bird-Chiron''? is it a Tengu? or a Sphinx?
    i still have a couple shorts to read. This diary makes it really good for ''read a couple of entries before going to bed''
    Thanks for the good work Alex, and for making my day with '' Will Grandpa Ra get me drunk and try to fix me? ''
    Hits a little too many sentimental notes for my manly pride to get through intact though ;(

    1. Ahh, it was a Sphinx, thanks to the dialogue with Anton for clarifying that.

    2. Thank you very much Rasmus!

      I cannot tell you how pleased I am to know that you enjoyed it, it originally was an exercise in getting to know the character so to see it received well brings a smile to my face.
