Character: Katrina Astalet
Event: The Forgotten Chateau
Responsiveness: Extremely responsive! There was very little waiting around for anything, narrates happened right away.
Balance: I think it was pretty well balanced. We had three EC fights during it. The first one felt very well tuned, with a couple of people going down. The second was a touch too easy maybe, but it wasn't awful. The third was pretty tough, and I think it might have been hard for some builds. I personally really enjoyed it, and thought that it was fitting for a final boss in terms of difficulty. Lots of downs across the whole party, but it didn't feel like anyone was getting directly targeted.
Storytelling: The whole gimmick of getting to decide what room to enter first was really fun, and the second door on the left fakeout made me snort. The general plot was fairly predictable, but I don't think that has to be a bad thing. I think that the modularity really worked to it's advantage here, with each area having a fun thing.
Fairness: Seemed fair to me! I think that everyone took things seriously, and I didn't feel like anything was suddenly sprung on us with zero warning.
Overall: I really don't have any complaints. OBC is clearly an experienced DM who knows what they are doing. I could have easily seen myself playing something along these lines as a tabletop adventure with my friends. Would love to do something like this again, if given the chance.
