The Good
- All around good game. The NPCs were working hard and had some really charming characters.
- The space. Just a really nice one, felt good for a tavern night since we could sprawl out a bit. The last felt a bit tight for the crowd we had.
- The Kraken reps were fun, even though the pool noodles were frustrating. As butthurt as I want to be about their reach and how hard t was to avoid them (the general wiggles might tap you even if their initial swing missed) after some consideration it does make sense for a giant dickhole squid to have long and obnoxious tentacle grabbers.
The Less Good
- Combat was fine but seemed a little disjointed? I missed it just wasn’t given a description that the einher raiders had arrived by boat, had to ask and pass it around. The murkers felt a little out of left field as a follow up, and I have no idea why the Kraken arrived, even thought it was a really cool final fight.
- The weird floating objects and status effects never really had a payoff? If this was to set up another encounter, please disregard, but it felt kinda random. Which brings me to...
- The Bazaar wasn’t really that Bizarre. The races were all core rulebook and they were selling (mostly) mundane items. I went in thinking it would be an event to buy and sell some weird shit, and desperately traded for tokens hoping that backroom would pay off in that way, but that wasn’t really the case. Just wish that had been explored a little more.
Personal Highlights
- Debating the alchemy game host on her exact wording and Cat’s deadpan “ten acid” when I no-effected the death alchemy.
- The Wheel of Misfortune, specifically the town of floating eyes. “Eye blacksmith. Eye doctor.” Wait fuck that was a pun.
- The new and exciting ways people shyly and politely try to ask if I am in fact a vampire. They always seem so worried about offending Carrion.
- “GET OUT, WE’RE NIGHT FIGHTING.” And “Now mess up my hair.”
- THEY SENT OUT THE ELF after I had given up hope both IG and OOG. and Rio played him (very well good job) after months of us joking about that.
