[QUOTE="skotothalamos, post: 6302197, member: 83398"] [b]A different perspective[/b] I've been avoiding doing writeups during our run through Always on Time, mostly because I crosspost these writeups to our group's Facebook page, and I didn't want to accidentally give anything away to the players by forgetting or overemphasizing any particular NPC interactions.
