"ForumVerse" Reading List

Forumverse Guide 2020

Hi All below is my attempt to list out all the share continuity Forumverse Stories and Interludes also noting who the main focus is on.

The listing is focused on the shared continuity established between myself, Karmack, theDutchman, Taegin Roan and theDrunkenConsular where a number of unique characters and concepts appear through all of our stories, not dissimilar to the Marvel Cinematic Universe links.

There are of course a number of other fantastic stories you should check in on by other writers.

Recommendations:
As a guide for anyone wanting to jump in I recommend following for different type of genres you know within Star Wars)

Action/Adventure: The Gray and the Unchained, Hearts of Stone, a Tarnished Knight, Shadow of the Outcast, We Are Gray
Political/Character Drama: Schisms the Vhal’Dan Civil War

Current Series in Progress (as at September 2020)
