Staff Hype for Game 2: Ordinary World

[Xenia]

Share your ST love! Was there a scene you loved? An NPC you couldn't get enough of? A ruling that impressed you? Our staff sustains itself on applause (or at least Xenia does), so please let us know what you enjoyed most about game in this post!

I need you to know that all of my grumpiness toward THE SURVIVOR was purely IC because out of character I love that NPC so much!!!!

I had an absolute blast at game, and there is so much to say but I will try to keep it brief so that you don't have to read through full paragraphs.

Des: Witnessing the challenges at Champion's Point was fascinating and made for a really interesting test for combat. Everyone who came to watch or participate seemed deeply involved with the challengers and their abilities and I am VERY excited to return for more of this.

Chrys: The way that the Survivor was portrayed absolutely made my entire night, and it also got everyone deep in conversation about preferences and opinions on each of the totems. I don't think I've ever seen a group that deeply invested in selecting a totem until tonight, and it is absolutely because the Survivor was so interesting to talk about, interact with, and brought several considerations up.

Travis: I don't know if you intended this, but right before my character was about to talk to Hermes, Hermes was on his way out and I almost missed you. Whether or not it was intentional, it really felt like I was chasing after the God of Travel at the very last minute.

I'll start by saying the whole staff has been amazing so far. This has been a great start to game and an intriguing way about dealing with what Sept bureaucracy is. This has been an excellent job of navigating the whole start of game thing, and I really look forward to the results as you work on moving story forward. I just want you **ALL** to know that I see the work you're putting in, and appreciate the heck out of you for it.

That said, a couple shout outs from this game in particular:

Chrys - There was so much you were organizing and pushing with the Mother Death NPC, and despite those challenges remained true to the NPC's motivations. This has been a really excellent job of some very difficult IC cat herding. This has been MVP level work you've been putting in and I appreciate it.

Jono - it was a short interaction, but I really enjoyed your portrayal of the East Wind. It was just enough of a back and forth to feel meaningful, but not make me feel like I was hogging face time with an important Spirit NPC. Really top shelf spirit portrayal here.

I had an amazing time - thank you all for the hard work you've been putting in, it shows in a huge way! <3

Major fan of the SURVIVOR. He was the only one who seemed happy to do what he does.

I had an amazing scene with Mother Death at the beginning of game about challenging for positions as a packless adren. It was a great scene.

[Hodosian]

I am shocked. SHOCKED! The Survivor is not our Sept totem.

All the ritual scenes were amazing!

Chrys - I loved (and feared) Mother Death in equal measures.
