Character: Tandava Meanderdog
Which Event: Meranthe's Twelve [HEIST]

Responsiveness: A fair amount of pretyping and moderated length in posts resulted in an event which mostly hinged on player slowness rather than anything on the DM's part. For an event with 13(!?) players partaking in it, it shockingly only clocked in at 13 hours for quite a dense amount of interactions/occurrences and three combat encounters with nasty Atrellyans (other events with less substance have taken longer).

Balance: Chance runs ECs in an interesting manner, running attack patterns which are fairly avoidable if you can catch onto them. The power stat of the ECs was fairly high however leading to some downs which might've felt cheap for the victims, but for an event of this magnitude and risk level it turned out well enough. It is absolutely miraculous that only 1 person died; the amount of 2s I saw rolled (where a 1 would result in death) was staggering. My only gripe is the one EC not run by Chance was throwing autohits around...

Storytelling: Lots of interactions and chances for every character to shine. A perfect showdown and the first appearance of the Demon King which- despite my increasing inability to be coherent as time passed- kept me very engaged to the end. Extremely cool characterization of Atrellya and its demons, and a perfect glimpse into its wider, more mundane machinations- and what dominion means for Meranthe. The rest? FOIC!

Fairness: Rewards were given out toward the end and everyone got something, though some got more than others. Some risk-taking resulted in greater reward. Decent fairness, but I never tend to focus on rewards too much. Journey matters more.

Overall: The best event I've been on thus far, and that's not ass-kissing.


p.s. I'm locking Melionette in a small box where she will never escape from again.
