Software engineerWill Pratt

I build software for a living and apps for fun.

I’ve run D&D campaigns, and I’m building Ordir, a world for a future tabletop campaign. I play Caius at Hynafol, a LARP in Central Texas.

I also play chess, write poems, and like reading, stats, investing, and game design.

Hover or tap a place to send the knight there.Scroll down the trail and the knight follows.

There is a lake, we assume,full of stones —where the water does not arrive.

Take the knight on a tour of a five by five corner of the board: land on every square once. A knight moves two squares one way, then one square to the side.

1 of 25 squares.

A Tending

Hex 18.28

A clack-bucket rock brook:the father and willow tendingthe wimpling grayling

Elsewhere

Hex 10.34

and we are pulled apart, left,and trodden on, like footsore paths we lead -to the elsewhere firelight,to the huddling comfort
