Mod review: The Wheel of Time
A review of the mod The Wheel of Time - Fully Voiced Follower and Quests. This is a mod that does a crossover between Skyrim and the Wheel of Time books by Robert Jordan, and includes a main quest line as well as a follower. Ultimately, it's not for me, but players who are fans of the books may get a lot more out of it than I did.

Canceling Nona’s and Alecto’s playthroughs, and other catchup to do
I'm too overwhelmed by my backlog of stuff to post about for my various characters, so I'm giving myself some amnesty and am going to just be posting periodic summaries for a while. Also: I am officially canceling Nona and Alecto's playthroughs, so that I can focus on playing Kenna in Tuxborn's current build.

Mod review: The Wheels of Lull – Unwound Edition
My review of the Skyrim mod Wheels of Lull - Unwound Edition, now that I've completed playing it in my Tuxborn 0.5.2 run. Found it very much a mixed bag in terms of my player experience, but ultimately did enjoy running it, and expect I'll get better at the difficult parts with practice. No spoilers.

Status check of Tuxborn playthrough
A quick status check on where I am with Tuxborn, since I'm behind on Nona's posts. Also a status check on Tuxborn in general, since the version I was using to run Nona is now deprecated. Last but not least, Tuxborn's devs offered to promote me to Community Helper on the Aetherius Modding Discord, and I accepted!

Fic: Courtship Doesn’t Work Like That
Interrupting my playthrough posts for Nona's Tuxborn run with a surprise outburst of fic--because I have some issues with how a conversation with one of the custom followers went. And this is my pulling a better narrative out of the entire encounter. Have a read to see how Nona really doesn't take well to Aviendha trying very hard to matchmake on behalf of Ysolda!
