Chaotic Dungeoning with Didos
04-03-2022, 02:11 AM
Character: Glazarag
Which Event: An Ogre's Enlightenment - The Fruit of Forbidden Knowledge
Responsiveness: The narrations were posted in a very timely manner, although occasionally before RPs of the players could be posted and at least once the context of a player's RP was overwritten to suit the narrative better. Which has to happen, sometimes, but laying out the information that you want to be cemented in the first place can prevent situations like that. Solid 7/10, if I had to give a rating.
Balance : The balance was pretty good considering we had some pretty heavy hitters in the party, though I will say the final boss felt a little wonky. They had 3/4 AOEs that covered the whole field, and more than once they all seemed to get dropped at the same time. For those without immunity or very high DR this resulted in having to just block and pray. I think this might have been OK if there was some kind of build-up for it, like a Behemoth casting Meteor, or a time after casting where we could punish. But the EC continued to drop OTHER aoes as well, even doing so on top of the healer's wellspring. The other fights were fine, but this one definitely felt like it could have been handled better somehow. 5/10
Storytelling: The story was on point, overall it felt cohesive and like we were somewhere we shouldn't have been. If I had to gripe about anything it'd be that there was a Hel beast present while the overall event was heavily themed around Void stuff, but that's not really even an issue, just kinda odd. 9/10
Fairness: Rewards and punishments felt very fair, and the one perm I saw handed out made for FANTASTIC dev for the one that recieved it, so I'd say this was very well done. We also knew the injury tables going into it. 10/10
Overall: Overall 8/10, it was really fun and I'd love for Didos to DM more events for me in the future, but there is always room for improvement.
