I haven't seen feedback requests like this in quite some time. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Just fine.Yes, so far.A little... but hauling a lot of stuff is hardly glorious. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Again, a little. But we're only level 1, so I'm surprised to see much of a chance to have effects on the larger picture. Usually, major influence happens later in a campaign.I'm fine with the setup so far. Sometimes, the DM just has to speed through stuff. Fast-forwarding is one of the handy tools available to do just that. I think going through each of the five rounds as "carry more stuff/help the porters/reinforce the gates" would have just been tedious.So far, no.I like the narrative style so far. You've got a fairly engaging writing style, for my taste.I suppose. But it's been only two weeks and one encounter. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> I don't expect a lot to happen, especially when we're still in the Prelude.Again, two weeks. And combat in PbP generally takes forever... so not really.That plan could work. You could also roll a grouped monster Init and just have the PCs act themselves, fairly independently, either before or after the monsters, based on their own Init roll.About a 7. Decent so far, but nothing making me go "Wow!" But then again, it's been all of 2 weeks. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />I'd say an 8 -- pretty well. The writing style for the updates carries a touch of life with it, rather than the dry and boring posts I've seen from other PbP DMs, which is very helpful for keeping the game interesting.Nothing that comes to mind just now... Maybe in a few more weeks I'll have something.</blockquote>
