Seriously guys thanks for your interest. Means a world to me. I'm spending a lot of time drawing and researching and I know it may be very dry reading at times, so if you find my stuff entertaining, that's absolutely fantastic
So, before we embark to our journey to build a bridge over the interior sea, I thought we could familiarize ourselves with our new 2019 heroes. After reading them and drawing them, I find that they really look like a tavern crew, so maybe that is the form that our fortress will take - a fortified inn on a bridge. When I think about it, it's a perfect business plan : for a traveller, it's either taking the inn-bridge or making a week-long journey into the bandit infested wild (see chapter 3). I'm sure they'll get rich and famous in no time
