Wherever is narratively convenient for the next game, of course!Fukurokujin wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2024 12:24 amIf Mukai had her pick of next posting, where would she want to go?
It's funny that in a way they're both the same thing. It was a solid, straightforward story. Which gave it a strong throughline but meant there didn't feel like much 'side content' to explore. Although I'll fully admit that was also likely partly my limited time preventing me from poking and prodding the NPCs much. Since I assume most 'non obvious' stories were person based as opposed to place based given the structure of the game.
No major complaints I found most of it worked very well and made sense. I can tell the final fight didn't go down how the GMs expected it to so there's likely work to be done there but that's not a complaint so much as an acknowledgement. Similarly the 'group beatdown to get from incapacitated to dead' is always an awkward point in 5E rules. It's great for players, when they're the targets, to give them a chance to survive (if grievously injured) but less great when it's a solo enemy where you know it's inevitable but still need to make multiple attempts to get it to happen.What did you like most about the game mechanically? What did you like least about the game mechanically?
I think the next big stress test would be a more free form game but I could see wanting a few smaller ones still before that. So maybe a more mystery/investigative game since that's not one we've really thrown 5e at yet.What would you really like to see in the next game that wasn't in this game?
No big curveballs this time around. She was a pretty straightforward character and didn't encounter much that would push her outside her initial concept. If I had more of a chance to interact and be social maybe something would have come up but as is she pretty much played as was written on the tin.Usagi Kaigen wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2024 3:39 amBeware the DREADED FORM QUESTIONS!
1. Biggest curveball Mukai threw you?
Sakkaku continuing its apparent deep love for me (in 5e only). Not as egregiously as it did with Bo, there were a few missed rolls, but I pulled off a lot of very strong rolls even in areas Mukai was weak at.2. Biggest curveball the game threw you?
Just getting to play more. I probably only managed a half dozen non event threads that had any substance.3. Biggest Missed Opportunity?
Tagging in here rather than trying to repeat and add on in my own Q&A because the busy plus less obvious stories illustrates the point. Folks have a lot of ooc attention-grabbing things these days. Particularly with a short game, I find that plot hooks end up needing to be more obvious and often dropped directly into laps (they *still* won't always be followed up on, but at least they're not missed).Utaku Mukai wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2024 1:05 amIt's funny that in a way they're both the same thing.

I feel you on the lack of time and interaction and, yeah, Sakkaku continues to love me in 5e events. Eventually it will turn on me, I know this to be true, but not yet it seems.Isawa Mari wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2024 4:41 amBeyond that, sorry I didn't end up interacting with Mukai. I think she leaves as the character making the largest contribution overall (from events) despite your time constraints, so she's definitely made a mark.
