DM Chance
Character: Lirael Equisol
Which Event: Meranthe's TwelveThirteen
Responsiveness (Were their narrations posted within a reasonable time-frame and were they quick to respond?): not only quick, but super interactive. the attentiveness to everyone's posts was almost uncanny at times (like the guards making note of garret's careless thought that one time).
Balance (How entertaining were the battles, and any obstacles/traps?): everyone had been given a choice to allocate their stats ttrpg style, and they had consistent ramifications throughout those wild twelve hours of runtime. those choices had weight and consequences; i think that's pretty neat. it made the junctures in between and leading up to the battles more engaging/fun than the battles themselves, in my personal view.
Storytelling (Did it feel like an adventure, did the content of the narrations meet your expectations?): the story had everything from moments of comic relief, to moments of humanizing sincerity, and real narrative severity without feeling out of place or giving tonal whiplash. it had almost everyone invested in some form, and every group that attended had a chance to shine and really feel like a part of the tale being spun by being given a chance to exercise their unique talents/skillsets.
Fairness (Were the punishments justified and earned, was the risk to reward ratio good?): everyone knew what we were signing up for, and our choices still made the difference between life and death. the event was set up at several points to where it felt a single mistake or bad roll could have compromised the whole mission, and that made the high stakes feel even more authentic. it definitely feels like our elaborate ic plan to go undercover paid off in dividends, and if we didn't have it, way more people would have actually died. chef's kiss
Overall: 13/10
Any other comments: can someone permanently commend melionette for me
