New Story: Adam the Archer

I have finally finished writing the story! It is the longest story I have ever written, and it is called Adam the Archer. Just in case you haven’t read my previous post, the story is set in Minecraft and is about a boy called Adam who is found by skeletons in the woods as a baby. He grows up and has several epic adventures, finding new friends and powerful enemies along the way! If you don’t like Minecraft that much, don’t worry. Although the story is set in Minecraft, not everything in it is based on Minecraft and I made some variations (Like blood and bruises!) You can find the story at the top of my stories page.

Unfortunately, the poem My Cat Is Greedier Than Your Cat wasn’t working. The Microsoft viewer I was using wouldn’t display the document. It is at the bottom of my Stories page and is the oldest story on my blog (I wrote it two years ago, in year 7.) I fixed this problem by changing the viewer to Google. Now it works again and everything is okay, but it just looks a bit different. The Google viewer seems to be more reliable and loads faster though. The old Microsoft viewer had more features, like text highlighting, but all of them are useless if it doesn’t work.

If you spot any more problems with pages or posts on my blog, let me know in the comments! I check them almost every day.

Board Games Club: Killing the wizards

On Wednesday this week, I went to Board Games Club at college. I played a board game with four other people which is a bit like risk except it’s in a fantasy world and you pick a race and a special ability. Each one gives you special powers. I was the Dragon-taming Trolls, who can use dragons to wipe out their opponents and make it harder for opponents to take tiles from them. and I was allied with the Tritons, who specialise on conquering tiles around the sea. Everyone picked on the Underworld Wizards because they were going to win and we had to stop them. They gain points towards victory every turn they have a Magic Source tile under their control. They had one magic source so we had to take it off them. After that, the wizards only had two units left, which was really funny (but not for the person who was playing them!) The skeletons also did quite well because their special ability allows them to revive a unit every turn they conquer a tile on.

In other news, I am still writing that Minecraft story. I am up to Chapter 14 and I still have a long way to go. It might be my longest story yet!
