Hello all!!! This is Milo, the voice behind Salem. I made this site as a fun little creative writing expiriment, since I've been getting really into tabletop games like DnD, as well as the Walking Dead TTRPG which Salem is from. The blog follows Salem and her companions' adventures throughout the course of our campaign. Other characters mentioned here (such as Tracy, Zack, and Doctor Marie Reid Shaw) are played by my party members, while our game is GM'd by my friend Evan Legg (sometimes known as evanonstage). Vallerie Wesson-Smith is played by my girlfriend, who also wrote entry 5 and any future entries narrated by Vallerie. If you're a big TTRPG fan but not familiar with the Walking Dead system, do check it out! It uses the year zero engine, it's lots of fun, and it's still enjoyeable to people who haven't watched the Walking Dead (guilty).
I've really enjoyed making these blog posts and re-learning html, so I decided to publish this site! If you enjoy the entries, keep checking in-- our game is ongoing. I don't bite. If you have any questions about the project, feel free to contact me here!
Here are some fun Salem facts, as a little treat for reading this:
- They use any pronouns.
- He was inspired by the character Mollo from Rivals of Aether.
- Here's what Salem looks like (commisioned from taa4m on tumblr ):
...and some backstory, if you want wicked spoilers.
