December 13th Feedback

I wanted to formalize the feedback, so you could hear it while not struggling after midnight.

Posative: Feedback on the game I think is posative.
Overall I felt the night went well, and you allowed each of us a chance to chatter and share ideas.
The addition of the clue cards was an amazing addition. I am glad you chose to add them.
The way the Fallen was used worked out well. Even with you letting us fast track by entangling him before he got in we were still up against the real world clock for timing.

Semi-Negative: Feedback on the game I think you can adjust. Not nessisarily bad, but could per perceived that way.
The Dramatic Task: I would suggest setting the dramatic task for each fallen ahead of time. With two or more separate skills or tasks. For example "You need to accomplish 2 successes each turn holding him in place, and 2 successes each turn banishing him. It will take 3 turns for the ritual to complete." This makes it so a couple lucky rolls in the beginning makes the rest of the effort moot.
Card: I think a lighter grey or adjusting transparency on the background would help. For people with less healthy eyes those cards did not have enough contrast.


General: Feedback on this session/game in particular, not Fallen.
I think you should set it up so the heroes are parts of a team like the Lodges in Rippers, or like Units in Weird Wars. At no part in the game do I feel like my character is part of a team.
This makes it a real stretch to think why a good or heroic person would stay with people who are actively working against them, or who are not paying attention.

To be clear, I had a lot of fun. But I feel if you are going to sell this you need the most honest feedback I can provide, so pulling punches would be a disservice.

Super fun. Love all the characters and interactions. No real complaints. I loved pairing off and investigating. Its been really fun to play someone who is trying to figure out this new world ( and has a ton of irrational misplaced blame). I am super looking forward to Luke realizing that the folks he is with is his best chance to save his wife. Saving that fat man really hit home who these people are. I cannot wait to see what is going to happen next.

I don’t really have anything to say about the dramatic task. It was super fun. Some of my most memorable sessions did not have a tactical combat and this was no different.

For some reason moving the setting into the 70s in really interesting. I also loved some of the ideas we tossed around that the fallen could control high speech or even your amazon order. Intriguing and explains a ton.
