Event: Dragon Hunters Hunt
Responsiveness (Were their narrations posted within a reasonable time-frame and were they quick to respond?): 9/10 during roleplay scenes Penguin was incredibly reactive and took into account everyone's dialogue and actions. The only times that he slowed were during puzzles which was completely understandable!
Balance (How entertaining were the battles, and any obstacles/traps?): 10/10 it was an amazing mix of different scenarios that each had their special trick of twist either a battle or a puzzle that we had to solve that were all involved in the overarching plot that led us to the end. I was engaged the entire event and didn't even realize the time passing.
Storytelling (Did it feel like an adventure, did the content of the narrations meet your expectations?): 7/10 The storytelling as a whole was fantastic and had in-depth lore for the location we were at, my only recommendation would be to research the lore of the faction a little bit more. Sometimes it felt like a very Osrona-esque event for a Fireblooded event.
Fairness (Were the punishments justified and earned, was the risk to reward ratio good?) 10/10 I adored this punishment system and thought it was incredibly fair on the players. Rewards were based on effort and either battles won or riddles solved so it was well balanced, and it felt like everything was justified.
Event Highlight: It was between two aspects: the beginning and the final battle.
In the beginning, we had interactive NPCs who talked with us and set up the premise of the event. We were able to choose one and they had their own function in the overarching event and a special ability to use which was super cool.
The final battle was beyond cool, excellent narration, high stakes, and it truly felt like the climax of the event.
Overall: 10/10
Any other comments: The event was well thought out, had aspects dedicated to each party member, and was astounding both visually and audibly. Penguin had an ongoing soundtrack for us the entire event based on the atmosphere and each setting had its own custom map backdrop to make it all the more integrative. Rewards were specially planned with custom and unique descriptions, punishments were fair, and you would never be able to tell that he was a new DM. Excellent work, I would recommend Penguin as a DM to anyone.
