You can almost feel the grim dark setting and the story was quite cruel. I thought the Militia would have a chance at all :)
Viewing post in Ill Tidings jam comments
Most of the ideas I came up with where pretty grim, now that I think about it. When writing for these jams, I look to real world myth and historical events for inspiration. Between the idea of using disease as a weapon and finding inspiration in the Napoleonic battle of Austerlitz, where fleeing Russian and Austrian forces lost a large number of men as they attempted to cross a frozen lake that could not support their weight, I guess this was destined to be a grimdark entry.
I appreciate you reading it and leaving a comment!
