The Barony of the Screaming Forests: A Conclusion, Not a Goodbye

When is it going to be turned into a cgi series? 😁😁😁

I really enjoyed BoSF. Super sad to see it go. I don’t have any series left other than TBS.

@David Orf I know I'm a bit late to the party here, but I would also like to thank you David Orf, for all your wonderful hard work producing and entertaining us all with BOSF. I look forward to trying to ascertain your input in future Barony episodes with the TBS timeline chapters to come. If you have any non-TBS side stories on the go, please make sure they are well publicised so they may be taken up by the TBS community, like Douglas Heidland has been able to. Though I suppose unlike myself who thoroughly enjoys his separate worlds stories - I imagine a lot of others don't, and they are only interested in the TBS-ajacent story TOE series, because of the Principality characiand events. Still David, I believe they is an audience out there amongst the TBS community for non-TBS, non Principality stories from you. And I for one would welcome them.

Hopefully this is the conclusion of book 1 of many. I really enjoined the start of the path throughout the screaming forest.

The reddit page r/openHFY has many BoSF FAN stories. If you want to keep reading, I hope to see you there.

bugger, BOSF is 1 of my favorite side story and was hoping to see how Wyatts family were going to thrive living in Newtown and all the other characters and see how the first noble visitors get put in their place heres hoping that we do get a lot more BOSF updates and not just an after thought

Ahh man…… I really enjoyed the regular updates.

While I can see how SL might have up ended the direction David wanted to go with BoSF, it did ultimately bring it into line with how the rest of the Principality operates to a point. Especially since they only have 5 years to get the place up and running. It's just unfortunate that the 3 main authors couldn't come to an agreement on the direction the story/location would take. Especially since it was the only side story that could continue without really interfering with the main story and it's timeline. Now we have to rely on "updates" in the TBS main story line which honestly is a disservice to both stories. It's just another tangent that needs to be accounted for in the main TBS story. Hopefully the BoSF updates will come as small episodic releases that won't interfere with the main TBS releases.

Truth be told the Barony of the Screaming Forest 🌳 stories are my favorite to hear

Ok you give us about 30 minutes of story a week. Now you have canceled Barony of the Screaming Forests, Shore leave, What’s the job, Academy days and shortly trough other eyes. I am hoping once you decide to really focus on writing we may get 45 minutes of black ship a week. Maybe I am asking to much but we wait a week at a time for what is next and it becoming not worth the wait, just saying from one who has been very support of all the writers of the different stories of the black ship I am getting the feeling I’m just a commoner, Tom

There some claiming to be writing BOSF stories we not having any of it .... 🛑 Stop it.... the official word is here posted by the chef himself 😄 let's have some loyalty.....

It's sad to hear David is stepping down as the main writer for the BoSF stories. His world building was second to none within the writing team of TBSU. His joyful stories and long format episodes will be deeply missed. Wish you well in future projects David!

Also, i am a student architect and construction worker, contractor for 50 yrs. Need some advise on details? I am retired now and have lots of time. I am in bali now but live in virginia. Love you.

I really enjoy everything, but think it better to have wyatts plan to eliminate titles. This will keep abusive nobles from visting, and require all of them to respect the ikanti.. maybe keep us up with the counts drazan experiments, and advise him to be more humble with commoners so princess clara will like him more. With a bit of character shaving, she and cynthia might even accept him.

Thank you for such an amazing story BOSF is one of my favorites

But maybe you could post other stories instead of just black ship

And this is a great story

When are we getting tails from the Terran Republic again

Thank you such great side story David and so happy that Ekhidna will keep it alive.

Thanks David ! But as the song says “ call some place paradise , kiss it goodbye “ will be looking for your next creation .

Salud David, brilliant fookin work brotha

JUST thanks. Will look forward to the new listing and story blends.

Thanks for the story and the notice of the end.

Thank you for the time you put into it. It was a great story all by itself. I wish you great success in all you do.

The barony was my favorite, sad to see it go 😕

Thank you!!

Good and sad things

I've often had the impression that long-running series eventually enter a new phase. At first, the story is carried by its hero. Later, the world itself has to carry the story. The pace slows, parallel storylines emerge, and the universe becomes the real protagonist. I'm curious to see which path TBS will choose. Wishing the whole team the very best.

Wow. I’m honestly gutted. I didn’t expect to feel this much, but this story meant a great deal to me. I’m wishing you all the best, David, as you move forward. It feels like saying goodbye to friends whose struggles I carried with me, but life keeps moving, even when we’re not ready. For what it’s worth, your story is the reason I joined Patreon. The main plot was great, but it was the slow, careful building of a community, that quiet burn of connection, that truly hooked me.

David - THANK YOU for the excellent writing and universe development! I truly loved the slow growth build of the characters as they lived thru the events of the day as a contrast to the hectic pace on the Noir Navio. Here’s hoping for a future spinoff to tell all the stories of the Barony and Hago. Truly looking forward to whatever comes next!!!

Thank you David, while TBS AND WFJ WAS THE FIRE AND ADVENTURE, BoSF is the HEART AND SOUL. You will be sorely missed. Cene Mcintyre,, All my love from Qld Australia, you are welcome in my home anytime.

I am sure there are lots of reasons for this in the background. However I still feel the BOSF was best as a side story. As a side story it was able to add a huge amount of depth, making us all love the universe more, without slowing the pace of the main story. Looking forward to seeing how things continue.

I truly enjoyed the story, and I am saddened at it’s conclusion. I realize coordination of the numerous plot lines is difficult, but there were too many compelling characters. I hope you reconsider this decision. There are too many unfulfilled stories, and frankly I feel having this story takes a lot of pressure off the main TBS story to provide weekly content.

I will miss BOSF as a separate storyline. I look forward to see it folded into the original series.❤️❤️

A wonderful story and great “barony” building! Thank you!!!

I love BOSF. Thank you for all the hard work. Small question: does this mean that day 80 was the last installment, or will there be 1 last day in the barony

It was a great story, very enjoyable. Looked forward to it every week.

Ty David your writing is and was amazing going to miss your writing style and pov of the universe

I want to offer my thanks to everyone involved in creating, editing, proofing, and collaborating on the great stories that have been shared here on Patreon when the world is getting flooded by content lacking the authenticity of originality and depth, I feel I can come here to enjoy authentic works of creativity. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

well thanks for great storytelling, hopefully BOSF will pop up from. time to time, looking forwards to seeing what new adventures abound.👍👍👍👍👍

Great story and to future story lines from it.

So lets conclude , less content moving forward ?

Awesome Work David! 👍👍

The White Deer are protected and the Barony is a treasure, thank you for your passion David!!

It doesn't have to end 'end'. just come back to it from time to time. Say, Day 107 Rachels brother getting his comeuppance. Or Day 128, installation in the Firentice Gardens. Just come back to it from time to time.

😕😭🤐🤔

Thanks David.

Thank you David for all the hard work you poured into the BOSF. I look forward to your new creation with anticipation.

Thank you for a great story. The universe has grown with your story writing .

Lord Orf, the BOSF is a most valued treasure on my playlist. Thank you for putting so much time, thought, and effort into creating it. You truly are a gifted Man whose works are valued by this community. I for one patiently await your own works. After what we have read from you so far…. The bar you’ve set it high and we expect nothing less from you because we know you’re value and it is great! Thank you again!

I would like to congratulate the whole team. This has been a fantastic part of the TBS experience. It has brought a higher level of character development to the story as a whole. More than any other part, it has really connected us readers to each character and we feel like these are real people that we know. It's the ultimate indicator of a writers abilities to achieve such a wonderful thing with us readers. Each and every person on the team has made this side story and the others and the main story absolutely perfect. If we had writing teams this talented in Hollywood our TV and film industry would not be in the dismal state it is in. I sincerely thank you all and look forward to more!

David. Good luck with all of your future endeavors ! I can't wait to hear your new stories .

Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to the story of BOSF. This story has been a story that I looked forward to every episode. May all your endeavors be successfully followed.

I have to admit I truly enjoyed the barony story. I too, hate to see it go.

Thanks David. I really enjoyed you story of the BOSF. One of my favorite chapters was the where you describe how the locksmith could cut keys by code and that was exactly what I was doing while listening. I look forward to reading your upcoming project. I’m sure it will be amazing.

hello I think you should let David wright TBS storys that include the Barony. his personal conection to it would be paramount to its continuity and keep his fans involved with TBS. all though I look forward to his furture stories I appreciate all his contributions to TBS. I hope Ekhidna and all of his side story authors continue this great story and i am looking forward to all of the new Episodes

Glad to hear BoSF will remain sporadically. Wyatt's Barony is a big part of his Noble success and reputation building. It's clear he has a destiny to fulfill.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful creative work with us. It was truly a pleasure both reading and watching the story unfold.

Reading a new BoSF chapter was one of the highlights of my week. I feel an almost personal relationship with the people of the Barony.

In the deep dark lonely night it is good to warm my bones by the fire in the Barony of the Screaming Forest. Thank you David for creating this beautiful oasis and thank you Ekhedia for keeping it alive.

David, Any chance you would consider a story about another location set in the Black Ship universe? It could be something unrelated to the main story, maybe just a mention for the main story to set it off. Maybe a child growing up with stories of the great knight hero, The Wolfhound, and how they want to be like him. Something keep in line with the Principality but growing into this new era.

Thank you David for your work in BOSF it was and continues to be one of my favorites now and forever

Again as everyone has said thank you David for a thoroughly engaging and enjoyable story line

Loved the story and how it developed, and really loved the writing. David,

Thanks for the great story. Really enjoyed the bosf, sad to hear about you being cut out like this.

Does that mean we have already gotten the final instalment or is there one last one coming out today

The Barony was our favourite sad to see it end.

Thank you for keeping me so happy listening to a great work and will continue forward to your new work

Thanks David, for all your contributions to the Black Ship Universe, I look forward to your future projects and look forward with great anticipation to the continuation of The Black Ship.

Thank you, looking forward to the new adventures!

Un placer leer sus historias en este universo de BS. Suerte y éxitos... i do hope to read your work on the future. Not a Bye just a see you on the void! Tks!!!!

awesome thanks david and ekhidna, maybe every once in a while we can get a barony update just on how life and everything is going. less narrative driven more slice of life i guess.

Thanks for writing a great story!
