[QUOTE="GlassEye, post: 6834111, member: 40413"] I think I'm the only one who hasn't yet responded to the request for input, so... Sometimes I feel like an outsider. Then I remember that the only one of this group that I've gamed with before is CB. It takes time to find your way in a group of strangers; at least it does for me. I'm not generally a chatty, OOC type person, but maybe I'll get there. And when some small thing happens in the IC that doesn't seem like much on the surface, but builds ties between the characters one small strand at a time then I feel pretty satisfied that things are going very well. Sometimes I feel like I'm holding you all back. I'm a really slow writer and most days I just don't have time to post more than once a day. Some days I don't have time to post until late at night when I'm tired and the quality of my posting suffers. Maybe it's all okay and this is just my insecurity surfacing. I probably need better time management skills. Sometimes I feel a little constrained. I think my gaming style is just a little different; a little more liberal in interpretation/implementation of rules, for example. And I'm not very familiar with 5e rules so I feel like I'm bumping up against the boundaries in unexpected ways. I read something recently about the ubiquitous nature of magic in 5e. I'm reserving judgement. Maybe it is the setting of the module, or my incomplete understanding of this character type/rules but I feel like I have to strictly ration my magic use. It is likely that I'm worrying about it too much; there have been days when Raza still has 3/4 or more of her spells at end of day. I think as I get more familiar with the rules, get reacquainted with CB's GMing style, then I'll loosen up a bit and settle into the pace and style of the game and all will be fine. I agree with Yavathol that the writing from everyone is superb. And I struggle with writing my own descriptive bits, too. The journals are flat-out awesome. I'd like a way to respond to them specifically sometimes; the OOC doesn't quite seem like the place to do that, though. I also really appreciate the consideration that I've received when I've brought up some issue. So, overall, this is a really great game and I'm enjoying how it is going. [/QUOTE]
