Character Name: Sterling Montelione
Event: Returning What Was Lost
Responsiveness: Never left waiting for too long, some lulls that were natural but they did really well for a 13 hour length event and being there, attentive, with no major breaks or unwarranted/unwarned breaks.
Balance: The black holes were hilarious and unironically were a pretty funny way to make speedups/invulns sort of equalized. I liked it - although I think, personally, PERSONALLY, we could've done with less checkerboard-EC moves in hindsight, and more of the varying flashing kinds...! BUT, that's just personal moaning/groaning for VARIETY (and the checkerboard was a real gamble and felt... really ... hard to fight!) But it never unfairly downed (me, at least) and the damage felt just right.
HOWEVER, as per the injury table- we went through, what, four fights? There was no opportunity for us to reach 4+ injury rolls unless we incurred an extra perm and went down in every fight at least once; I would have rated this event as an LCOD with that in mind. (GRANTED, EVERYONE ROLLED REALLY WELL)
Storytelling: Leaps and bounds ahead most of the rest of the pack. The real focus. The real climactic stakes and setting; I felt like I REALLY DID see a new god born today. The cameo of all of life's new champions was INSANE to be, really S tier stuff, which took a lot of coordination/communication behind the scenes (so many people's schedules had to line up for this- I'm so impressed Kynim made it all work over such a long event). Fighting Misery made me feel Real Fear.
Fairness: Kynim pulled some punches I feel, but this might just be my hypermobility 4 speedups 2 cleanses 2 longest range autohits ass talking. I felt like the faith-toll was fair for the total-party-knockout, even it if it could have been higher, and the rewards felt befitting of the EC difficulty regularly.
Overall this was a huge blast to be on, even the prelude event was cute as hell, whole thing was masterfully written and told. I feel like this is a genuinely interesting tale to have been on and feel richer for having gone. Bless up, looking forward to the KCU sequel...
