Character: Sigismund cos Gardios
Which Event: Reconstituting the Kingdom Part 3
Responsiveness: Very, very fast. Like, we didn't even have to wait for more than a few minutes before he posted. Rob was already raring to continue the narrate and I honestly can't find any flaws with it.
Balance: Now, this is going to be a bit of a tricky one for me. On one hand, he actually fit in narration into the battles, making it develop in a way that I've never really seen in an Eternia event so, kudos for that. It was really cool, especially for someone like me who adores these types of things. On the other hand, I only really have an issue with how EC's are made. But I think that's just how it's going to be in Eternia 3 now, this being like my third event? I suppose when you're fighting a group of five people, throwing out aoes is one of the few ways to really go about it.
Storytelling: I wasn't here for the first part of the three part event but I adored the story. Where it was more than just 'go here, spank that, maybe do a few puzzles and be done'. There was actual political intrigue, choices made in previous events mattered [as they should in a chain] and I learned about the history and lore of another city. Always good in my books- I adore lore.
Fairness: Everyone received something. That's cool. As someone that only really remembers Eternia 1 events seeing as how I couldn't really play spires and only touched Eternia 3 a bit at the start, this was strange if cool. The rewards were incredible for what appeared to be kind of low risk. Now I know we lucked out with our rolls but I was honestly expecting a perm or two if not more for all the stuff we got- hell I fully expected for someone to die as well. Half the party would have died or been crippled horrendously for these kinds of rewards back in the day and this is apparently not even top tier stuff from what I've seen.
Overall: A really, really good event chain. I don't have much to compare it to so this is a really good impression first impression of an event chain done well. Rob is a really good DM, though as Ava stated, the danger wasn't really felt for me.
Any other comments: i hate black hole.
