Key/Character: TiniestLittleDot / Ryker pyr Docro
Which Event: A Trail of Blood
Responsiveness (Were their narrations posted within a reasonable time-frame and were they quick to respond?): He was responsive with when the plan was being written/approved and then scheduling as well. At the start he asked if anyone had any questions about any of the rules, and we answered all of them. The rules were very straight forward as well and easy to understand. Which I'm always a fan of, since some DMs will make twisted and confusing rules like, "If you go down [x] times, but have [y] temps then it becomes a perm if you dance in a circle and clap your hands". During the event itself he was willing to answer and change things according to what happened as well.
Balance (How entertaining were the battles, and any obstacles/traps?): Balance, over all? I think was okay. The main issue, quite honestly, came about from the fact the server starting shitting itself during the 2nd boss fight. At first we thought it was from the AoEs being laid down but before a round even begun we got hit with a MASSIVE spike in lag. It made things waaaay harder to dodge, and survive, but I don't think that's his fault.
Storytelling (Did it feel like an adventure, did the content of the narrations meet your expectations?): The story telling was, as usual, very good. I didn't think we'd actually get to meet Achlys in this one, tbh, but seeing the changes in Eris' paintings reflecting recent/current events was SUPER cool. Maybe that's just my own ego, I'm sorry... Bruno showing up to escort them to Achlys and speak with Titus was great, imo. The twist with Ryker and Achlys at the end? Also great, even if I have to wait on Chance for it I think it's well worth it. I got to watch what happened after I was left behind and the additional lore hints and droplets? Whew lord.
Fairness (Were the punishments justified and earned, was the risk to reward ratio good?): People got some pretty interesting loot! The first three drops (from the 1st EC), is a step above normal event rewards given their primordial based, and I thought their descriptions were interesting and would provide cool hooks and inspiration for people to do what they wanted with it. I personally passed up the loot because the new kids can do more stuff with it. After the 2nd EC, when people ended up with perms, Jumpy was willing to adjust the amount of vit lost given people's lower RPLs so I think that's also quite fair as well.
Overall: 10/10, I enjoyed myself, even if the pre-Vampire bit took a little long. I'm sorry I threw a wrench in your plan with my crackhead ways.
Any other comments: Achlys ackbar.
