"Greetings, friend! Take off your coat and get warm by the fire—I have a question for you.
Have you ever wondered what happens when the world of magic meets honest craft? Then perhaps you've never met an artificer before. Self-sorting wardrobes, ever-burning candles, front doors that turn away unwanted visitors—whatever you need, an artificer can make it.
Does that sound like the job for you? Then venture into Sunhampton, the little town where each morning greets you with a cup of coffee and the promise of a bright day.
Nestled there is Lewis's workshop, where he serves the town's artificeric needs. He fixes self-spicing stewpots and he tinkers with clockwork cleaning systems. And every so often, an unusual job comes his way.
Can Lewis fix up the old house by the river and make it livable again? And what about the waterwheel at the lumbermill, which mysteriously stopped turning one day, and nobody knows why?
No answer is easy, no job is straightforward. But with master crafters to guide him, loyal friends at his side, and his curiosity driving him forward, Lewis will get to the bottom of it."
"Hello there, friend!
I see that you've returned to Sunhampton, the cozy town where the beers are always cold and the pies are delicious. But you aren't here for an ale and a snack, are you? You're here for some artificery—and you're just in time.
Lewis, one of the town's few artificers, was recently working on a routine job at Sunhampton School when he stumbled upon old enchantments in the basement. Enchantments that confound even an adept-ranked artificer like him, and will need some creative thought and clever use of skills to break.
But that isn't all.
It is commonly said that an artificer's work is never done, and Lewis finds himself with more enchantment and disenchantment riddles than he can keep up with. The question is, with the next ranking in his artificery class within reach, how quickly can he solve them?
Join Lewis in the sleepy, sunlit town where he spends his days crafting and his evenings with his friends. Allow yourself to escape, just for a while, to a town where you're always welcome."
"Greetings, friend! Rest here for a while and listen—I have a quest for you.
Imagine if you could craft anything your mind conjures up: heated winter boots that tie their own laces, castle gates that open only to your voice, and self-filling coffee mugs that rarely go empty. Intrigued?
Then visit the sunlit village of Sunhampton, a haven of cobbled lanes, aromatic coffee houses, and little stores where something will always catch your eye. Once there, take a sip of your spiced tea, savor a cinnamon pastry, and follow Lewis as he strives to become the best crafter in town.
With his newly-earned adept status, Lewis delves into deeper secrets of artificery. When a customer arrives at his new shop with a mysterious request, he finds himself immersed in his most intriguing artificery project yet.
It's going to push his crafting skills to their very limits. But with seasoned crafters beside him, loyal friends behind him, and his unwavering passion driving him forward, he's up to the task.
Why not travel to the enchanting town of Sunhampton and be part of his journey?"
"Have you ever wanted to learn a craft? Then why not consider artificery—the art of adding magical effects to everyday things? You'll make never-ending beer mugs, clocks that tell not just the time but the future, and even bathtubs that keep the water a perfect temperature forever. Who wouldn't want that?
You'll get to live in the sunlit village of Sunhampton, a friendly little town of cobbled streets, cozy cafes, and a marketplace home to the most wondrous products you could imagine.
If this sounds like just the thing for you, then grab a mug of hot chocolate and a honey twist, and follow Lewis as he drives himself to becoming the best artificer in the land.
Lewis is no longer a mere apprentice. Through hard work, failures, and triumphs he has risen in the artificery ranks, but his journey is only just beginning. When a familiar face returns from his past and asks him to create a mysterious item, he knows his talents are going to be stretched thin.
It'll be hard work. But with mentors to guide him, friends to help him, and his own never-say-die attitude to keep him going, he knows he'll get there.
Why not get yourself over to the cozy town of Sunhampton and join him on his quest?"
"Greetings, friend! Rest here for a while and listen—I have a quest for you.
How would you like to study the mystical craft of artificery? You'll learn things that most people can only dream of. You'll make self-spicing cooking pots, backpacks with endless storage, and even farm plows that will do all the work for you. Who wouldn't want that?
Even better, you'll get to live in the sunlit village of Sunhampton, a cozy little town of cobbled streets, friendly taverns, and stores that sell anything you could imagine.
If this sounds like just the thing for you, then grab a beer and a sweet roll, and follow Lewis as he improves his magical skills.
Lewis just passed his artificery apprenticeship, but his work isn't done. Many projects, dozens of skills, and a lifetime of magical studies lie before him and his ultimate goal: mastery of his craft.
It'll be hard work. Perhaps even dangerous work. But with an old artificery master to teach him, and his best friends to help him, he's sure he'll get there.
Why not get yourself over to the cozy town of Sunhampton and join him on his quest?"
"Hello, friend. Welcome back to Blade's Rest!
Battles, quests, the end of the world—it can all be so draining sometimes. Why not escape into a story where fighting isn't the only way to level up?
Come to a place where you'll get a mug of tasty beer and a bowl of hearty winter stew to warm your belly. Relax in a tavern on a cozy winter evening with the gentle flames of a hearth flickering nearby.
Does that sound like what you need right now? If so, you came to the right place.
Josh and his fellow builders are expanding Blade's Rest with the dream of achieving 'town' status one day. This means there's a lot of work to do, problems to solve, ales to savor, and pies to enjoy.
But as Josh discovers, the bigger your settlement, the bigger your headaches. Luckily, he's got two best friends who'll always help him, and a community of folks ready to lend a hand.
With a never-give-up attitude and a lot of hard work, he knows he can make Blade's Rest a thriving place. So why not put down your sword, pick up a crafting hammer, and join him in making Blade's Rest a haven for weary adventurers?"
"Hello, friend. Welcome back to Blade's Rest!
Fighting, apocalyptic quests, endless danger—it's nice to get a break from that kind of thing sometimes. Why not escape into a world where fighting isn't the only way to level up?
Come to a place where you'll get a mug of tasty beer and a bowl of hearty winter stew to warm your belly. A place with bookstores owned by grouchy satyrs, and bakeries where delicious sweet treats are guaranteed.
Does that sound like just what you need? If so, you're in luck.
Josh and his fellow builders want to take their little haven up to the next level and become recognized as a settlement. That means there are more shops to be built, skills to learn, and things to be crafted. And that's just the way Josh likes it.
Blade's Rest is growing by the day, so why not follow the journey of the sleepy little village as it does? There's a warm stew and a roaring fire waiting for you in the tavern, and the friendly residents always love to meet travelers.
Slip into a warm sweatshirt, grab yourself a hot drink, and prepare to spend a cozy few hours in Blade's Rest."
"Hello, friend, and welcome to Blade's Rest!
Are you looking for a relaxing LitRPG where the world isn't ending every five minutes? Yes, I know that it's exciting to battle demons and loot swords. But sometimes it's nice to just build a town, drink beer, and end your day with a hearty bowl of stew, isn't it?
Well, if you want a slice of life tale about a guy creating a town from scratch, then you came to the right place.
Blade & Sheath is a fully immersive VRMMORPG game where some folks complete quests, while others develop their magic and battle monsters.
Then there are players like Josh.
He needs to earn some cash, so when he gets a job as a town builder for Blade & Sheath, he can’t believe his luck. However, it won't be easy. The land he needs to build on is as untamed as the critters that prowl it. That's not all—he also starts with no skills and no resources.
He does, however, have two fellow builders who will help him. Together they will build Blade's Rest—a place for adventurers to relax after a day of questing. Why not put down your sword, grab yourself a drink, and stay for a while and join them?"
"Greetings, friend! Rest here for a while and listen—I have a quest for you.
How would you like to begin an apprenticeship in the mystical craft of artificery? You'll learn things that most people can only dream of. You'll make swords with self-sharpening blades, bows that fire by themselves, and clocks that can read the future.
Even better, you'll get to live in the sunlit village of Sunhampton, a sleepy little crafter's village of cobbled streets, cozy taverns, and pleasant bakeries.
If this sounds like just the life for you, then grab a beer and a sweet roll, and follow Lewis as he begins his new life as an apprentice.
Lewis comes from a family who don't regard him much, so he sets out on his own into the world, intent on securing an apprenticeship in an interesting profession. What he doesn't expect is to find himself studying one of the most mystical arts in the land.
It'll be hard work. Perhaps even dangerous work. But with an old artificery master to teach him, and the friends that he makes to help him, he’s sure he'll get there.
Why not get yourself over to the cozy town of Sunhampton and join him on his quest?"
