I really shouldn't think about starting a new save now I am on the brink of beginning National Novel Writing Month (come on midnight!) and was supposed to be finishing an earlier part of the book this weekend, but with it being Halloween I thought about turning Henford-on-Bagley into a low tech village populated by witches. Has anyone else done that? Did it work?
Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven.

Its flagship program is an annual, international creative writing event in which participants attempt to write a 50,000-word manuscript during the month of November
Windenburg is my world, low Tech? Meh, It started out as a medieval fantasy Kingdom but I'm intrigued with the idea of more of a modern fantasy kingdom. but for now Country living came with a nice type writer that has internet access, but that’s the only technology they have, and their phones, but they rely on candle light and they do have plumbing.
I do have 3 spell caster sister who are sort of like nature fairies/Wood Elves/Nymphs. One looks after Plant Life, she can make crops thrive and wither, she helps with food production, another who makes sure land Animals are well taken care of, Humans included. and the last one looks after Aquatic Life. the three of them are basically "Mother Nature."
All my other spellcasters are astronomers, writers, musicians, painters, artsy type sims.
I do Want to make a Tech savvy/Gamer spellcaster.
My Mood:
I absolutely want to crack on with the witchy village in December though. I might even have a bit of time later this month but the words aren't coming quite as fast as I'd like at the moment, so not quite yet.
I love this! I didn't quite finish setting up my village before November began so I'll need to do that at some point. I'm still undecided as to whether to give everyone a "dark" feel or stick with my current arrangement where each household has its own colour palette.
Yeah I'm going to make use of the typewriter too, and most households won't even get that.
Thank you! Have explored their site and it looks very interesting. Since the month is more than half over, looks like I may need to wait until next year. Something to keep in mind.
At some point I'll actually start playing the scenario I started the thread for. I've already played more than I should this month but mostly with saves I wasn't that fussed about.
Spenser Marlowe is an eccentric and something of a loner. His best friend is his dog, Alpha, who may have wolf blood. Spenser's greatest joy in life is the pursuit of arcane knowledge.
Non-magical tourists always think Morrigan Sharpe looks like a witch because she dresses in black and has a black cat - if only they knew that she actually is a witch! Morrigan loves cross-stitch and hopes to make money from her hobby.
The Kings are new to the village. Single mum Rosamund gave up her comfortable city life to become a gardener. She hopes the great outdoors will inspire her artistic daughter Daisy. Rosamund has also joined the local witch's coven and hopes to become great friends with her magical sisters.
The O'Connor family have owned their farm for centuries. Brendan and his wife Shannon are raising their sons whilst taking care of their farm. Hopefully they have time to learn a few spells too.
The Griffith family is another which has lived in the village for centuries. They love their animals and their country pursuits. Matriarch Seren adores her daughter and granddaughter and hopes that both of them will become powerful witches.
Scott and James are a pair of teenage lovers seeking rural idyll with their foxy familiars. The trouble is, they still have to attend school so money will be tight for a while.
Richard Beauchamp is another newcomer. A local politician, who may or may not have used his spellcraft to influence his career, he hopes to become top dog in the village
Thanks. At the moment I'm playing each household for a week to give them a skill boost and so some of them can get to know one another. Then as the new sim year starts, I'll play them with aging on.
You're right about the immersion, but I'm doing my best. It's fun and I really love the world.
In any case, Cassandra Goth will need the back-up of her enchanted supporters & friends, as the presiding magus of the Bramblewood Sanctum (moved hundreds of years ago to a location actually in Finchwick) is not happy with her intent of uncovering the secret history of the old Kingdom of Hwicce. Having her mentor's family marry in locally can only help.
