[QUOTE="Shapermc, post: 726241, member: 9007"] OOC: Ok now I know that I had a few words to say about things and so i will. Please take this as constructive critisim not as tearing you apart. I have enjoyed this game immensily and have had loads of fun. 1) I don't know if it is because of the campeign or what, but this chapter seemed to be ... lacking in anything Cthulhu Mythos related (except possibly the disc). Perhaps it was because we did not poke our noses around enough or we never talked to the right people, but it seemed like ... well lacking. 2) Did we miss where the disc was explained? I do not want you to tell me if we missed what it was, but it seemed like we had no chance to get a better more detailedexplination for the disc. It is quite mysterious and now... well nothing. 3) Guns seem (to me) to be a bit too effective for a CoC game. Maybe it was because this chapter was combat heavy but like i said, our group seemed to allways get an effective result from using guns. 4) There was only really 1 part when I feared for my characters life (the first exchange with the warewolf). After that we seemed to be quite effective, and after the revelation of who the first werewolf was, the horror was a bit lacking from then on. The really good: 1) Atmosphere was amazing. There were times when I would log on then pull up the thread and read what we found and shivers would go up my spine (literally). That was great. 2) Scenery was allways well described. I never had a hard time picturing in my mind what the interior of a location looked like. it helped me RP out alot of the situations much better. 3) IC stuff from NPC's. I think that your flavor text in this point was amazing. The characters felt real. I liked some of them (like the cute girl that got disemballed who I forgot her name) and loathed other (damn that Sherrif and his deputy). But even though I loathed them I still felt bad that I could not save them. There is alot of other stuff that is really minor that I canot seem to think of right now, but like I said it was minor. The stuff that seemed bad (the first list) is not only directed at you/the game. I can use some of the items for me to build on in the next chapter (like ask more specific questions). Another thing that I would like to add as more of a generality is that I have read alot of reviews that this campeign has alot of "railroading" (where the players have little to no impact on wether or not a certain situation happens or not) points for the campeign. I fell that if that was the case that you handeled those point really well to set us up for it. It did not feel like railroading at most points, and I know from experience that it can be hard to avoid doing it to players. Well before I start rambeling on I just want to say thanks and I am loving how we are starting this next chapter where we are all finding IC ways to get the gang back together :D [/QUOTE]
