Character: Mei Hayme
Which Event: On Wings of Steel
Responsiveness (Were their narrations posted within a reasonable time-frame and were they quick to respond?):
Everything was posted within a pretty darn reasonable timeframe! No complaints there.
We did a lot of shenanigans that had to be reacted to on the fly by Didos, and he was always attentive, and supportive.
Balance (How entertaining were the battles, and any obstacles/traps?):
We came prepared, and STILL got our asses handed to us. But it never felt unfair. Somehow, we managed to escape with no perms, but that was good luck on rolling, and clever management of in-event resources. Definitely awesome fights, the 60 FPS robot crab will haunt my dreams.
Out-of-combat uses of life-skills was also a lovely inclusion, it made it feel like caring about other things than combat was encouraged, which was great!
Storytelling (Did it feel like an adventure, did the content of the narrations meet your expectations?):
The story was a personal one to my character, and Didos definitely delivered. From the Ratkin tech-bandits, to the loose war machines, to the monster bird nemesis Mei was looking for... Expertly written.
Fairness (Were the punishments justified and earned, was the risk to reward ratio good?)
It was a High Chance of Death-event, so the odds were stacked against us. It could have been so, soooo much worse for us had the dice not played ball, and had we not used our skillsets as well, and creatively as we had.
Brutal, but never unreasonable.
Overall:
10/10 event!
