Hello survivors! I’ve been trying to think of ways I can improve at TLD and test myself. What better way to that than with Challenges? Give me some suggestions for custom challenges. The challenge must have: A title short description of the challenge rules/goals setting requirements Looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with. ^U^

"Not bad for a newbie, I ate well that day" "Sailors breakfast, yum" "Another one washed up today..." "Jackpot!" "Looks like they took the easy way out..."

"A long forgotten lonely cairn of stones..."

I’m a sucker for ambiance and level design. i love it when a game can make you FEEL immersed into its world, and the TLD definitely nails that home for me. Walking around places like towns and roads, places that were once bustling with noises and people, now completely dead and silent. really makes me feel desperate and alone.

Guns. Lots of guns and working clocks would be helpful.

This one goes out to the crew of the Riken and all the sailors of Great Bear Island. "Barrett's Privateers" - Stan Rogers Link: Alternative link:

Cozy Cabin. (Don't mind my friend, he's just making snow angels) This painting looks familiar...

Saw my English teacher throwing away newspaper and my brain was going “Noooo! I can use that for tinder!” Almost fished it out of the trash can ( I’m a loot goblin in both games and irl ) but instead I just asked If could take the remaining newspapers home. Another thing I do that I saw somebody else comment on here is keeping a pocket knife one me at all times. Never know when it’ll come in handy.

"My back is gonna be sore tonight..."

I was doing a Black Rock region challenge and doing a bit of character roleplay. everything was going well until I climbed down into the ravine in hopes of getting into the mine. I looked over the waterfall and went “that doesn’t seem like a big drop, I think I’ll be fine” I in fact, was not fine. Messed myself up really badly and died a few minutes later, right at the climbing rope.

Hello survivors! Since I've started being more active and engaging in TLD community/forums, I think it's time I introduce myself and let other people know me better. My name is Liam or Smol Alien ( either name is fine ) I'm a 18 year old senior in highschool ( graduating in 2024 ) with ADHD and autism. I discovered The Long Dark back in 2014-2015 by a YouTuber by the name of Paulsoaresjr. Don't know what it was but 12 year old me fell in love with the game. Ever since then I've been inspired to get into survival, bushcrafting, prepping, etc. and since I got the game last year I've had many ideas, stories, fan creations and much more. ( I even had an idea for a short film ) Anyway! That's a little about me and how I got into TLD. If anybody has questions for me I'll gladly answer them whenever I can. Until next time, love and laughter always and be good people. ~Smol ( Beautiful Screenshot taken by ManicManiac )
