Why this project
With this project, I wanted to experiment with holding a group in a single location for 75% of the story. A campfire felt like an innovative environment to base them around and force them to maintain. This really limits what one can achieve within the confined box.
This one is complete — a vote here asks for a sequel, a rewrite, or the next thing in its world.
