Wow... This story brought tears to my eyes. Loved it Mac.

Excellent story! Loved it. It was funny and romantic. Loved the drama.

Thanks for reading! Yes, same here. Engaged on Christmas is fine, but I think the wedding will be Valentine's Day.

Thank you, Reader.

Thanks, JayT. Not yet, been busy today, but I will be reading them tonight, and your's will be first.

Thanks! I've always felt that Christmas is a time for HEA type stories.

Alex and Dean are celebrating a warm Florida Christmas. It's Christmas Day, and Dean is going overboard with presents, with a special one for Alex.

I read an article that was done about an Industry Study for MMOs and MMORPGs, that found certain trends based on the country that a player came from. South Korea by far plays more MMO-style games than any other country. Russia leads in Botting and Scammers for Cash for Gold Shops. Europe and Asian countries value Team Work and Cooperative endeavors. In the Americas, Solo Play and Lone Wolfs are the preferred styles of play. On topic: I used to play WoW back in the day and had a great time. Can't play it now as my ancient craptop wouldn't run it, but planning on getting it once again, when I can run and afford it.

Merry Christmas, tim. An excellent poetic blog of the duality of the Holidays. I love the last verse.

I really like 635.

Welcome to GA Jakey.

Thanks for reading! If I get the right prompt, I will def. finish this.

“Don’t you dare die on me,” Brady said as he pulled the man from the wreck of the burning car. “You are going to live, and I’m going to finish my vacation.” It had only been a few hours prior that Brady had arrived at the Cabin. It was a very picturesque place, in the heart of the mountains, surrounded by an evergreen forest, and barely a soul nearby. Close enough to the city, where it had power, phone, and internet with Wi-Fi service, but far enough that he wouldn’t be bothered. It ha

Snow Job is calling to me... I see a short soon.

Actually like this version better than Garth's

Thank you! It turns more Urban Fantasy starting in Chapter 1, but there is a strong fantasy element in the story. I'm really happy you liked it, tim.

Thanks for reading, tim. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

The contrast mode is great when reading in bed with the lights off. One of my favorite features for Stories. I kinda wish we could use it with the rest of the site. LOL.

I've always felt the backstory for a character was the best part. This article was partially inspired, because over the Holidays, I'm visiting friends, and we're going to be playing a massive game of DnD 5e. Been building my character since I got the invite, and have been doing a lot of backstory, getting ready.

Thanks for reading! I've played GURPS before. I loved how they had one set of rules, and then all the other books were setting expansions for those rules. A unique approach.

Thank you very much for reading! They've found that RPGs, and video games, have improved test scores with students, improved hand-eye-coordination, improved memory retention, and a slew of other things, like what you mention. I'm looking forward to your experiment story if you choose to write it.

This is another one I play, from time to time, on PC. Pros: Good storylines, and even though it's 4th edition rules set, it still follows the current DnD storyline, and the products they put out. So, Storm King's Thunder, Elemental Evil, is all right there. R.A. Salvatore wrote one of the End-Game Adventure Trains. Has a unique Mount, Companion, and Artifact system. Cons: It's an MMO. You can Solo it, and join into random Dungeon groups for raids, but as all MMOs go, It's who you're guild with. Cash Shop for consumables, mainly boosts, but also mounts and companions. Some of the better ones can only be bought there. They have the ^&()*&(&^%*(*() Loot Boxes, which need keys, that can be had in the cash shop. Dungeon keys are needed for chests at the end of a raid, but you can get 1 free one a day. Cryptic relies heavily on the Cash Shop for stuff to make the game easier. I won't call it Pay to Win because you can do everything for free with enough grinding and special weekends, but I would say it's Pay for Advantage. If you can get past that, and it being an MMO where the best content is at End-Game, there is some good storytelling with the Race, Class, and Zone quests, and I highly recommend doing all quests.

Yeah, it is a little dated. What's funny is when they were releasing for XBox One, they made a huge deal about revamping areas for that platform. New lighting effects mainly.
