  This game was the best I played on Annakolia. The plot was well done and involved all the characters. It was wonderfully complex and I am amazed you could do a game that well.

  Yet another awesome Feisty Chicken event! Can't wait for the next episode in a weeks time!

  One of the best role-play sessions going with plenty of action to swing your sword or finger at!

  This quest has been a long'un and the characters are growing weary, but the DM's kept things exciting and interesting with the inclusion of some undead. Great stuff!

  I don't have much to add about Barry and Lisa: they're great. It was the first time I played with LION, and he's good! Fast instincts and good skill on improvisation. I can't wait to know him more. Also, as usual, Feather did a marvelous job. Cheers to all!

  This was definitely one of the best sessions I've ever had under you, Hoya. It makes me wonder, in part, how much of that was due to our dwindled numbers. Sometimes when we are in full, I get the feeling that you're having trouble handling us all (and rightly so). But with just 3-4 of us, you definitely excelled. You made the environment react to us, and while I've often felt in the past that we did the things we were doing because you were pushing us in that direction, this felt so much more free and non-linear.

I think it's a shame that I'm still completely in the dark as far as the purpose of the adventuring troupe, even though I've read the forums (which aren't entirely clear on the subject either). I think with the number of new recruits, namely Beyazid and Blaine, the opening 30 minutes or so of next session should really be focused on

  Hoya is the best. He loves FRP and it comes through in his DM'ing.

  Aswome game, after all the blood shed I cant beleive we were all still standing. I was left with a true felling of victory.

  Felt a bit rushed at times during inter-party banter when it really didn't need to be rushed. (i.e. thunderstorm and rat attacks) This indirectly caused the party to think that little to no planning should be done, making way for many bad decisions.



[LIONofHUME's reply to comment: The pace of the game is dictated by the DM’s and not the players. You should always be in control of your character, even though you might feel rushed it’s on your shoulders to stop and think and not rush or follow into more danger. There’s nothing wrong with backtracking.]

  Generally, the DM team did a pretty a good job.

Some of the encounters were a bit overpowering for a party of our level and equipment - which wasn't helped any by the oft disorganized approach the party took, not the DMs fault :)

Didn't seem to be much treasure; most of the monsters had no drops.

Had problems with resting due to area limits, though the DMs did make use of a workaround.

  Hoyasaxa is the consumate NWN DM professional ... he understands the dynamics that make the game so addicting and he exploits them to the extent that the game engine will allow. Great Job as always!

  Some initial problems with the mod delayed the start by over an hour while things got sorted out with the server.

DMs were a little slow in providing info requested at one point which contributed in part to the party dividing, as other PC's kept going while I stood waiting for a response.

DMs seemed to do a good job of juggling NPCs and trying to interact with the party.

Monsters didn't have much of anything on them, not even gear to be stripped and sold.

DM provided a good backdrop for the campaign and session, and forums for players to post IC/OOC comments.

  An excellent mixture of action and plot.

I take it you're generally used to a smaller and more 'focused' group, but you handled the additional crowd well.

  The horse derby was a great game! It took a tremendous amount of set up with all the NPCs and placeables. I loved the surprize plot twist. Great fun! Thank you for a wonderful time.

  Great fun and the atmosphere with the horse race was really nice.

  A magnificent page in the Horselords' history, with many thanks to the DMs who filled-out the race!

The race-track bystanders were a hoot, and the unforeseen denoument brilliantly executed.

Great show!


01/22/07 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10
  Awesome game. The setup was fantastic, capped with the little crowds of people waiting for the racers to pass. I had a blast.

  There were not enough DMs for the type of event that it was. With the party intentionally split into three teams, there should have been a DM for each team in order to have the NPCs respond to the quest activities. I did enjoy having challanges to the mind as well as to the reflexes.

  Very fun game! I was curious as to how this was going to be done with the different levels and not all knowing where places were in order to find the items, but the DM's kept everyone in easy locations.. and after figuring out the clues (which was the best part), you also could get in some fine time with roleplaying.

Well done!

  If this is how it’s going to be all the time, then count me in for more. This was better then any game I’ve played so far, a persistent world is no match for a custom mod. Thanks for the invite, hope I get to come back. –M-

  What a great game that was, I was confused at first to what was happening, but when I realized it was all just a dream, it all started to piece itself together. Great use of atmosphere, visuals and sounds to simulate a dream landscape.

  It was hard to review this game. The first half was basically a group witnessing a solo adventure, while the second half was incredibly entertaining. Even if it was a really hard battle, it got us to really co-operate (mildly). Brilliant move with the martyrdom of a party member, added a certain tragedy to the story and redefined the party. Also thought that the control over the NPC Astriel was also well done, made her feel slightly less scripted than usual (an aspect that's bugged me somewhat with this particular mod). Next session the party really should discuss things through rather than act as though they've played the mod before (as not all of us have). So otherwise, things are improving more and more with each session. See you on tuesday!

  Another interesting chapter in the continuing saga.


11/19/06 8 9 10 10 10 10 7 7 8 10
  Yet again, another captivating job by the DMs. I always felt involved and knew there was more going on than only what was shown on the screen. The NPCs are entertaining and alive. This is what I look forward to during the week. They even catered to my horrible computer problems. Thank you and well done.


11/15/06 8 9 8 9 8 8 9 5 9 8
  Interesting plots and subplots. Like the open-ended nature of things. Do think the DMs should be a little less merciful to those who wander into trouble unsupported. ; that might help cure the more chaotic tendencies of some. Server problems again forced a restart after a bit of a delay.


11/15/06 10 10 10 10 10 10 9 9 10 10
  Always a surprise around the corner, evil and twisted, the perfect DM.

  What a great session, it seems like everyone we met had a story to tell, I had a hard time taking notes. We need to keep a closer eye on Tink though, he'll have the whole town after us before long. Great game you two.

  You really brought the town to life today, but with everyone off in seperate areas of town we need to have Weloby create us an item to communicate with, are at least warn one another of danger.

  Faster paced, the bad guys had outside help, and the locals joined the hunt. You are an evil DM Lion. I had a real good time thanks bud.

  This was even better then the first game. But I like playing the bad guy.

  Lion shows he is a consummate DM with his great plots and organization, and the NPCs were outstanding. Wickedfox and Greatcloak assisting was an added bonus.

  Split the group and I think it worked fine. Is the Lich really dead? Is Rose going bonkers? Time will only tell. Oh great game, at least the half I was in.

  Great one-shot filler game. More role-play than bashing, I would expect some hard characters to corral. Lighting bugs really suck!

  Easly the best game I've played on NWN.

  That was a unique game, to bad I died so soon. Would like to have a chance to redeem myself. Thanks guys for a fun evening.

  good job, all instability issues were on my end, not sure why, but my computer is having some issues with dial-up, major Lag at times. Anyway, I had a good time.

  Fun as usual. Thanks for giving Figgy her own adventure. She's not up to evil liches just yet :)

  Good Job guys, even with the technical problems. I used to build a lot myself, and scripts can be a pain. Ya fix one think only to break 2 other. You did a good job overcoming the problems and the game continued smoothly.

  Great game. Not too bad on the spawns, it went very well.

  The game was fun, though a bit frustrating on my end. I am on dial up, and when 15 orcs are on the screen, Lag is terrible. Also the challenges seemed a bit overwhelming, granted, some of them we could have avoided, and would have if not for the power of the majority. Overall it was fun and a good job

  Some Spawning problems, but overall, a good game.
