Event: Back to the Ruins - Summons of the Realms
Character: Nymphaea Aubreen
Responsiveness: For the narrations, given the amount of context and people involved? 5/5 for sure! There was a lot to go off of, fluff-wise in the event; the narrations were top tier quality.
Storytelling: It genuinely felt like doomsday vibes; the way the void was described felt so esoteric and grotesque. I feel that the way it was able to interact with certain factors for many characters was exceptionally unique and fun to describe in an RP. This was a kick off public event from the ritual that Melos dul Vique and Isadora did - the first EC really set the tone for the entire event, but the second EC really gave off 'end of an era/world' feelings, which was awesome to write in rps, and while we did get to defeat both of them- we were all not without change to our characters. By the end of the event, no one was left without injury. That leads me into..
Balance: While there were some struggles, it's understandable given the sheer amount of people that had attended. Overall, I think the balancing was done nicely following adjustments to the party amounts (the first EC being maybe 30+ characters that attended and the second EC being for 12 characters), as well as the skillset of the IC because of lag issues when it came to things like the Supermassive Blackhole spell and Galaxy Explosion (which actually made a few of us DC as a result). My only real gripe was the fact that some spells were visually stacking, so you couldn't see things like the ice talons below it that were nuking our HPs significantly.... Otherwise, the first EC was a CoI type, but the second EC really made you feel that CoD, and given what happened in the event by the end of it all? Holy shit.
Fairness: For what was given, I believe everything was pretty fair! No complaints here.
Overall?: I appreciate Madsen a lot for running this event for all of us when I wanted to conclude a storyline that started up for the Heavenfall stuff, and while I am a bit disheartened that those events won't be ran anymore, I still wanted to take initiative with Madsen to help at least come to a resolution with this part of the story for what EC she had in mind since helping to run the initial event ritual weeks ago! Despite what happened IC, the conclusion was pretty damn awesome and worthwhile. Thank you for running this, Madsen <3 I didn't realize how long this was going to take, but you did wonderfully with everything alongside Arrow running the EC! I really appreciate the heck out of you both c:
Any other comments?: Unrelated to the DM, I had many complaints when it came to the narrative selection of the 12 members for the second EC, since we had to cut down on the attendees from 30+ to only 12... but I followed through with my IC that was logical to the best of my ability, so I hope people can OOCly understand to this regard- the decision made IC was made due to IC.
Otherwise, any comments for the event itself or the DM? None beyond saying that I cannot wait for what comes in the aftermath with Ad Contra Deos' people because we fixed a problem they caused!
