Key/Character: Heimdall Eivorson
Which Event: To Enter Vanaheim: Sigurd
Responsiveness (Were their narrations posted within a reasonable time-frame and were they quick to respond?): 9/10, very rapid responses but felt like a bit of a slow burn at first as we were trying to figure out what was going on without much we could do to impact it. Kinda a 'waiting for the next narrate to move things along' moment. Regardless, event didn't suffer from it.
Balance (How entertaining were the battles, and any obstacles/traps?): 6/10 - fights were incredibly easy, but this is also the first event run by GSM, so I'm not expecting balance perfection from them. Everyone has to learn, and it's better that they're too easy than crushingly punishing. Regardless, not a single person was downed across both fights, which while I'd like to chalk up to being peak gamers... We're not all built that different.
Storytelling (Did it feel like an adventure, did the content of the narrations meet your expectations?): 10/10, atmosphere was great, venturing into the spiritrealm and being given four tasks to earn the right to enter Vanaheim? Very cool. I also liked that our choice to kill or spare the ECs mattered.
Fairness (Were the punishments justified and earned, was the risk to reward ratio good?): 8/10, rewards matched the advertised risk but as stated earlier about balance, very generous considering the inadvertent low risk nature.
Overall: 8/10 Very pogged first event from GSM, and I'm sure they'll improve more with each they run to conquer their primary weakpoint of balance. Given that it's not something you can just know, and that it's a shifting target from group to group, I'd say he did fairly well. Perm me next time tho.
Any other comments: I will dive off a dragon again.
