Afraid of Play Reports - Zedeck Siew's Lorn Song of the Bachelor (Session 1)

Afraid of Play Reports is a series of blogposts where I write play reports of the campaign that I have finished or currently running. I name it that way because I keep on procrastinating on writing play reports. I will write my GM thoughts/comments in italic. A gorgeous cover by Nadhir Nor, whom I had the pleasure to meet last year at Bangkok Illustration Fair. Foreword I started my amateur…

Afraid of Play Reports is a series of blogposts where I write play reports of the campaign that I have finished or currently running. I name it that way because I keep on procrastinating on writing play reports. I will write my GM thoughts/comments in italic. I've run A Perfect Wife from September - October for four sessions, with the finale right on Halloween, 2025. The adventure is a 44-page…
