Q2 Rate your GM
GM Poll 1st Quarter 2018
please vote sometime in the last part of March. Starting now is okay.
Pender, Game Master (GM)
How to “rate” the GM, their Duties:
• Post Rate
• Notify Players via Hangouts of new posts.
• Be available to Players
☞ Maintain a GM post rate at a minimum of one adventure post per week.
☞ Have the IM contact info of each player in their group.
☞ Notify all players in the group via IM or PM of new GM posts, and other important updates.
☞ Be available for IM chat at least one day a week.
Note: The above is used to “rate” the GM. I hope that I succeeded you all in the mission of being your GM. Additionally, I hope that I presented a fun game. I look forward to more story with the group. Please, when you vote, post a response saying you voted. If you are up to it, I’m open to feedback BOTH on how I did as GM, and ALSO any feedback you have on the story. Especially if you have something in your backstory that you would find interesting to explore, please just call it out to me. With characters so complex and wild it is sometimes a challenge to get every characters backstory touched upon. Thank you. - Pender

Re: Q2 Rate your GM
Voted. Game continues to be Wahoo Crazy and Epic.
I appreciate general attitude of saying 'yes' to the players, and ensuring we're the stars of the show while presenting us with difficult situations (often of our own doing). And I also very much appreciate your attempts to keep the game varied and fun by tweaking and introducing little rule systems and challenges -- never a dull moment.

Re: Q2 Rate your GM
I'll echo Tribe/Cantrell. Some of the descriptions you give of the other poll options almost make me want to vote those just for fun, but I'm a 5 all the way. You're a savant with rule tweaks, and everyone gets something to do. The effort you put into your posts shows.

What if we prefer baseball, bowling, or dodgeball?

Re: Q2 Rate your GM
Thanks for the above feedback folks. I will try to keep the epic going. At some point we will make it to the federation of magic, I promise. Just do not go to Whykin... Ooops...
I think everyone is a GM here would you have any desire for me to toss the Chase rules used into the GM forum for you guys to use as you like, tweak, and whatnot?
I was really feeling some trepidation about the chase, and while it was a fair amount of work to get it set up, I felt like it worked well. Although I wish Max/Nadine could have gotton some better cards ( but that is how it goes some days).

I'm not super versed on the existing chase rules. Do initiative edges get factored in? Quick, Level Headed, etc.?Pender Lumkiss wrote:Thanks for the above feedback folks.

Re: Q2 Rate your GM
Those card edges specifically do not get factored in. The chase We are currently doing is really close to CORE chase rules. I added a few things so folks can do more things. Normally passangers can help the driver with a co-op roll. I added an optional notice roll which simulates the passanger focusing on looking for the perfect opertunity to attack.Maximilian wrote:I'm not super versed on the existing chase rules.

Chases normally do not allow folks in a lesser position(lower card draw) to do anything. I added in the blind fire always strikes back, and dramatic task to ensure player engagement.

Re: Q2 Rate your GM
I thought they worked well. Of course, requires a bit more GM think-through to set up those Dramatic Tasks rather than just focus on the chase. But it made it cool. I felt bad Jude didn't help in the DT that last round. But he was too focused
