  game lateness was based upon problems with a player logging on and not the fault of the dm's in any way. they went so far as to ask the players whether we wanted to continue without the player experiencing problems or wait to reshedule and run through a little prelude to another game they had set up in the meantime. thanks for taking our views into consideration guys. that's why you're tops!

  Great gaming session. Every player had their chance for the spotlight, and the game moved along at a good place. Minor technical glitch with the chairs, but other then that everything seems to workd quite well.


06/13/04 9 10 10 10 10 5 5 8 10 8
  well I have to say that was a lot of fun tonight. Each of us got to be the center of the party at one point or another and Clav loved the Kitty house. Great NPC's

  Another fantastic job by a great group of GM's.

  Good job, yo, really dug the scenery and the action.. the worm scared the bejezus out of me, nice job, I look forward to playing with you again.

  Fleet street pwns, plain and simple.

The game was a blast. Although the hakpack download was massive, it was well worth it for the great visual work the Fleet Street team has put together. Although we may have only been through less than 10 areas total for the entire game, the work that they did really made them 'come alive'.

The theme was excellent and original - pure survival, being left with nothing but one's wits. First time I've really felt compelled to use the HotU crafting system.

Also to be noted is their ability to compensate for screw-ups along the way. Sometimes things didn't go exactly as the DMs' had planned, but they compensated admirably without sacrificing the plot - something hard to find in a non-DMed game.

  as always, another great game by a great team. kudos!

  This game was a little different than Iam use to but still was a good time. The interaction with the many NPC's made it a blast for me and kept us going along the path. Thank you for another fun time in the campaign.

  This was an amazing game. As always, an unusual and creative story!

  This was a very good game to be in. I was most impressed with the level design and character models they used. There was a ton of eye-candy and this entire game was a real blast.

  Had a great time in this game. The DM's did a fantastic job, allowing the PC's the freedom to move forward at their own pace and explore the island. The additions in the Hak's were first rate, and the plot was intriguing. Well done!

  Excellent game. Always ready to imporvise when a character went off the beaten path. I loved how you didn't try to stiffle the flow but instead go with it to make a godd game awesome. Visual one of the best games I have ever played. And anytime a 5th lvl sorc can become a Fire god is good times to me. Kudos to all the Fleet Street gamers.

  Had a blast. The FleetStreet gang lived up to my high expectations. Their reputation is, it seems, well-earned. The module was beautifully assembled and made mind-boggling use of custom tiles and other content; but not just for custom-content sake. It all served the story of the module.

Impressive use of visual and sound effects. NPCs felt alive and were not all cut from the same cloth. The plot was fairly basic, but presented in a refreshing way.

My only concern was with the balance of some of the encounters. Some of the later encounters (while looking for the Furious Iron) seemed a bit overmatched, considering our disposition. It's a shame we didn't finish as planned, but in the end, it was a great time. I look forward to finishing next week. I'm sorry Rowena won't be able to join us, but she did make a rather striking decision. Game on!

  Another great game from Fleet Street


03/24/04 8 9 9 9 10 8 9 9 9 10
  Great time playing the other night. Liked how things are turning out and good job working with players having difficulty being able to make the game. Always a pleasure with you guys, the DM team, and the rest of the players. Thanks!!!


03/22/04 9 10 10 9 9 8 8 10 10 10
  Another great game. Sorry my computer crashed on me near the end of the session, so I missed a last little bit before game time was finished for the night. Defintely puts a unique twist on things to sort of be playing it all out in flash back.


03/21/04 9 10 10 10 10 5 10 10 10 10
  The way the game was run was way different than any others before. The past flashbacks is a great idea and well played. Thanks for a great start.

  Another grat game from the Fleet Street gang!


03/03/04 9 9 9 9 9 5 8 9 9 10
  Great, great time. We really got stuck into the fighting but it went along with the plot and the confrontation was needed. The design of the areas was superb and has inspired me and realize what can be done with just some simple thought and use of various settings on the area (and with apparently little hakage except for some interesting creatures we ran into). All and all, a very enjoyable experience.

  Great game as always from the Fleet Street gang!

  Great game, once again!!! It is wonderful that we, the players, are allowed to meander about and explore as we will and still be able to enjoy the overall story (though, I'm sure it causes balding in our DMs :) ). Keep up the great work and I always look forward to our game nights.

  Great fun. I am glad to see the world getting bigger as we move about and get more involved in the game. I actually dreaded moving around in that temple. A strange smattering of creatures as well. Understandable, though. They are like the Yuan-ti of this world, keeping servants of lower ilk along with animal companions and a flare of magic with the undead. Great job. I can sorta see a


02/02/04 8 10 10 10 10 10 10 9 10 10
  What a fantastic game! Very challenging in terms of combat, puzzles, and role-playing. As an introduction session to recruit players, I have to say you have me hooked and ready for the next game.


02/01/04 9 10 10 9 10 10 10 10 9 10
  Wounderful just Wounderful! What can be said that hanst already been said about this group.


02/01/04 8 10 10 10 10 10 9 9 9 10
  absolutely wonderful game. heavy on both rp and combat, and well balanced as well. i was on the edge of my seat most of the night thinking we would all die at any moment; and the encounters, though tough, forced us to use all our resources and pool them as a party along with our talents...especially after our cleric failed to show.


01/27/04 7 9 9 8 7 8 3 9 8 8
  An enjoyable game--the DM's were very accomplished, maintaining multiple, good NPC dialogs simultaneously and doing a great job of managing combat. The story was good--my only complaint was that the combat was tougher than it needed to be. The players were told to be tactical, but given the number and toughness of the foes, I don't know how much better the party could have performed. Still, I had a very fun evening in Menhir plains and would definitely play with any of these DM's again.


01/27/04 8 9 10 9 9 9 8 9 7 8
  Very good game. Combat heavy, but not without roleplaying opportunity. The plot was interesting and the adventure very challenging. DM's worked well together in multiple NPC areas to allow the individuals to have side conversations and also used multiple NPCs well in the combat sections. Very enjoyable. I'd game with these DMs again.

  I did find the game a bit too hard. I know it was partly our fault for not using the right tactics, but the sudden reinforcement battalions charging in when we were all busted up from the last fight weren't a lot of help, either :).

I don't want combat do be too easy in a module, of course, but I guess it's just that I'm a bigger fan of drama and character interaction than combat. Still, the game was fun.

  Had a great time playing. The story line developed well. Seeing the Edge Cultists mosey on up to the gate gave me a kick. The music was well selected and the areas interesting, using lighting rather well. All in all, the best I've played.


01/13/04 8 9 8 10 10 10 9 9 9 9
  Another great FleetStreet time -- and I'm really liking the flavor or this setting and the whole setup of this special forces type group -- as well as this particular assignment -- nice mix of mystery, atmosphere, some real characters in every sense of the word, and plot moving along nicely. Cross between some great novels, series, and movies I've liked, and as with all the FS stuff so far, exemplifies the best of what gaming can be in my opinion: a well run and well played blast.


01/07/04 9 9 8 10 10 10 8 9 9 9
  Mighty good stuff. Highlights I particularly enjoyed: the construction of the city, felt truly large and multi-hooded; the use of the same as settings for great scenes and plot unfoldment; characters just right to be memorable, varied, and food for roleplay feasting by us as players with those NPC's and among ourselves; effects and custom content and/or new stuff, or just stuff I hadn't seen; and above all responsiveness and use of what we as players put into it, to make it clear we were really


01/05/04 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10
  Well, even if it was pretty short and only three of us showed, it was good to dust off the original Menhir characters and give them some play time. Hope to see this little section of the world explored more as everyone is able!


01/05/04 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10
  Truly a class act!

  Great game as always...Fleet Street is the best.


12/29/03 9 10 9 9 9 10 10 8 10 10
  This session and the first part last time mightily masterful! Loads of great plot stuff and world-bending stuff going on, and plenty of opportunity to roleplay in interesting ways all around, with fellow players and NPC's alike -- in other words deeply woven world with abundant material to enjoy and work with to become part of it. Once more, the best of fun.


12/29/03 9 9 9 10 9 5 9 10 8 9
  Great game and story...though I think a little more hammering out of the plots and a few more clues could help deepen things, though being in the dark a lot helps build suspense, it just needs to be moderated a bit. Don't take that as a slam. I had a great time playing with everyone and I felt we all were pushing the story along. Look forward to somemore adventuring.


12/16/03 9 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10
  One of the best plot twists in any game ever. Fleet Street is one of the finest gaming groups found anywhere.


12/15/03 9 10 10 9 10 10 9 10 9 9
  Creative use of bog-standard NWN sets and canned dialog! Its like taking a trip down memory lane to a time before we figured out how to run a game right ;) And that's not really a criticizm, it was actually fun in a meta-gaming kinda way. The characters are unusually odd, the interactions very enjoyable, the plot pretty much felt improvised at the last-minute yet pretty good(I actually appreciate this), and everything was very lightheared. Definitely different then usual. Good work!


12/12/03 7 8 9 10 9 9 10 10 7 8
  Niceness! Obviously a lot more involved and unfolding aspects to this tale than expected at first! Mucho great opportunities for roleplay and interaction of many lively kinds. Looking forward to the continuation of the madness, mayhem, and meaningful murmurings....


12/03/03 9 9 10 9 10 10 10 9 9 9
  Wondrous once again. High points: the Guardian Mech, the Nephilim all around on up to their leader, the bugwar, the setting for spreading out the action and allowing for some tension to build, and last but not least the gnome for some key interactions and plot forwardings. Low points: um, none I can think of, truly.


12/03/03 10 10 10 10 10 9 10 9 10 10
  Another great game from Slare and the Fleet Street gang.


12/02/03 9 8 8 9 9 9 9 8 9 9
  Great night - campaign is really beginning to pick up now that we've picked up the trail of the Uloo conflict. While level design once in the excavation site was inspired (loved tunneling under other passageways) the amount of area FX does tend to bog the system down a bit and make navigation, communication, and combat more difficult. it's the nature of the beast, for sure, but perhaps the ambience could be administered in a different way?


11/19/03 9 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 9 10
  Awesome time once again. Balance between roleplay scenarios, combat, strategic challenges, problems to solve, and all that good stuff was just right. And loving this world, with all its strange twists -- demonic cats and anti-jesters not least among them 8^B


11/18/03 9 10 10 10 10 9 10 8 10 10
  great game!

11/17/03 9 10 9 8 9 9 8 8 9 9
  Another great game. One thing that stood out this time was the level design for the city outskirts - complete woth observation platforms to enjoy the view! Also a nice touch was sending individually tailored little bits of info - clues and such - via message before the game.


11/04/03 9 10 10 10 10 9 7 10 10 10
  Once again, the game did not fail to provide fun and excitement! The plot is great, the progress of the story is going at a wonderful pace! Very believable environments for the type of setting we currently find ourselves in. I only wish the campaign ran more often! lol


11/04/03 8 8 8 9 9 9 9 8 10 9
  Up to the high standard established last time.


11/04/03 9 10 10 10 10 9 10 8 10 10
  Teriffic game from the Fleet Street gang. Lots of RP and interesting plot. A bit laggy in the large combats but workable.


11/01/03 9 10 10 10 10 9 10 10 10 10
  Thank you for including me into your game, Fleet Street guys! I love being in another part of one of your campaigns just based on my past experience. Your games always seem to attract some of the best players and make one of the best experiences on NWC in general for multiplaying. What I particularly liked about this session is some of the NPC roleplaying. Hope we can find a schedule that will allow us to finish the rest of this "one-shot". (Hey, now didn't Veil of Sky start out as a one-shot? Tee hee).


10/31/03 9 9 10 10 10 10 10 10 9 9
  Nice time, bigtime. Great experience all around, and you folks made it possible, once again, in every way. Loads of fun, and believable characters, situations, plot and some nice themage thrown in for good measure.


10/31/03 9 9 10 9 10 8 10 9 9 9

  Treasure was Not Applicable. Excellent game concept.


10/28/03 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9
  I really enjoyed the old west. The correct tilesets and weapons really made it seem like the game(NWN) was built for an Old west adventure. Great idea and I hope to see more of the old west through NWN. Talk about thinking out of the box. The fleeters used some of the modern mods that are coming out with some basic NWN data and really captured the old west! Awesome game, awesome idea!!!


10/28/03 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 9 10 10
  Great surprise in the game. Genius idea for a story.


10/27/03 9 10 10 9 10 10 10 10 10 10
  Absolutely the best multi-player mod I have been a part of. A real treat to play with DM's that don't overtly enforce their will on the characters, while still establishing control, a sense of direction and an environment open to great improvisation.

  I loved the premise of this adventure. Was a nice surprise right at the start :-). The DMs added a lot of atmosphere and made the fights very interesting. Enjoyed it thouroughly. Thanks for the fun!


10/27/03 8 10 10 10 10 5 10 10 9 10

  Wonderful, wonderful fun! I have always wanted to play a game set in the old west and these guys delivered. With more fleshing out of the world, I could see great treks through the deserts of the West, into the mountains of Colorado and maybe even to the big cities of the West! Excellent work! Hope to play a game like this again and flesh out the character I played here!


10/26/03 9 8 10 10 10 10 10 9 9 10
  The game was a little slow in getting up and running due to it's different nature (Old West), but once it got rolling it was a great ride.

There were minor glitches with some items, and there wasn't a lot of information regarding how to translate skills or feats to the world (Will

  A western themed NWN game you say? Guns and all you say? Yes and it was great. I loved every min of it. Never heavy handed. You let us play the game and then just followed along. The gun fights were awesome. It adds a whole new way to play when every one is a shooter. The music! Oh the music. It set the mood, made me feel like being daring and most of all a dusty old cowboy gun slinger. I could go on for hrs about this game but I have said enough. Awesome.


10/26/03 9 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 9 10
  Fareaking awesome. And not just because this was my first succesful experience in a real dm'd, real roleplayed, online multiplayer game. Smooth as could be, kept us moving without pulling us along by the nose, pacing seemed just right for an interactive story. Plenty of roleplay AND lotsa fun action to mix it up. Great scenes acted out, heart starting combat with plausible sources of danger and intrigue all around.... Man I wanna grow up to be able to help make a jammin session happen like these guys did someday.


10/25/03 10 10 10 10 10 9 10 10 10 10
  Great game. If we would have had a rogue to get rid of the traps we would have been set. Great game though. It is always a pleasure to play with the FS guys.

  Great game last night Garnak and company. A few more clues/hints would be helpful, while smoothing the story out a little.

Great RP last night as well and I look forward to he conclusion of episode 1.

  Sorry about the connection problems but my power went out due to a storm. This is the type of game I am looking for on NWC.Please keep me in mind in the future thanks.

  What more can I say then wow? From the start this game was great. From time spent filling forms, to the long trek up the mountain, under heavy goblin fire, this game never got boring. Great job!

  great game!

i gave a moderate 'challenge' score only because we died so many times...but in reality, that was due to the naivety and urgency of some of our party. with proper tactics and well thought-out skirmishes, we probably wouldn't have used so many kits. also, i'm still not completely sold on using kits to raise/heal past negative HP. some people just deserve to die for their stupid actions, you know?

atmosphere and NPCs were wonderful. plot and characters were complex and made the game rewarding to explore.

i can't wait for the next opportunity to be a part of a FS campaign - especially a multiple session campaign!

thanks for a great game!

  Great interactions with NPCs. The creature encounters were a little bland. Still no way to buy/find potions? -T

  Absolutely fantastic! Fleet Street rocked for this game! The NPC's were living, breathing people and the plot had more good twists than a bag full of pretzels. Slare, Old Scratch, and Sweeney Todd DMed the best game I have played in NWN multiplayer thus far. Nice work, folks!


09/16/03 8 10 9 10 10 8 9 10 9 10
  Every game I play in, I'm always in for a unique experience. Thank you!


09/15/03 9 10 10 10 10 8 10 9 10 10
  A very well thought out storyline, memorable NPCS, and some moments that I will certainly never forget!


09/15/03 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10
  Just WOW. That is all I can say. WOW and AMAZING.

  Once again, a gem. Great use of tilesets and placeables, music, pacing. As usual the NPC interactions were fantastic, and the fights were tense. This is by far my favorite game on NWC.

  Opal: The Wraith Brigade

I thoroughly enjoyed this game. The players were great, the DM's top notch, the situations fantastic, the NPCs were typical FS excellent, the combat challenging, and the story... *grins*

I'm definitely looking forward to the next session!

Great Game! (J) Jen

  This campaign is off to a promising start. The game suffered from several server crashes and stability problems, causing most of us who forgot to export frequently to lose the equipment we acquired. Otherwise, a fun experience regardless of the bumps and glitches along the way.


09/10/03 8 7 9 10 10 7 8 7 9 8
  Nice start. Look forward to what this campaign may bring. -T

  Sweeney approves. :) Thanks, gentlemen, it's a blast.


09/09/03 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10
  Crazy good fun. This has the makings of yet another amazing campaign, from the vivid NPCs to the mood setting areas, it comes off as quite the stunning package.


09/07/03 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10
  Hurrah! Great fun this time in Menhir 2, even with only 2 DMs at the helm. Combat was nothing short of fantastic all around. From the insane cultist, to the flying barbarian, to the Fireball casting Zombie Worg Riders. Crazy good fun.


09/01/03 8 8 8 10 10 9 8 9 8 9
  Great game again - its too bad that ST had to be an observer for the most part, because he missed out on Twoflower and Duncan in top form. Everything went smoothly, and the tension was perfect where it needed to be. Nothing felt force, and nothing felt out of place. As usual for ANY Fleet Street game, the NPCs were unrivaled in NWN. Thanks!


08/19/03 9 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10
  Drugs, dreams, character stuff, NPCs, all very, very cool.


08/19/03 9 9 10 10 10 8 8 10 9 5
  Thanks, Twoflower, SweeneyTodd, and OldScratch! This is probably the first game I participated in which had only one fight, but I didn't mind at all. I had a lot of fun and I think the one combat we had took us all by surprise. My favorite parts were probably the custom music during the prologue dream sequence and Anden's weird dream. Although, I like my dream, too, but I sense some of you were a little disappointed in my reactions? As always, I enjoy this group very much. Each game appears to be unique, full of surprises and twists. See you again in two weeks! Although Garnak and I appear to be rotating places. =)


08/17/03 9 10 10 10 10 10 9 10 9 10
  A Fleet Street game with almost no fighting! Not that I'm complaining of course, this was an excellent session as always. It seems culture shock knows no bounds...


08/11/03 5 9 9 10 8 4 3 5 8 8
  I've never had the pleasure to work with so many DMs playing NPCs before. The conversations they would hold with us or between themselves was always a blast to observe or participate in. It really brought life into what could have been an average module.

The only complaint I can lodge was the challenge level of encounters. Had the DMs not taken over many of the NPCs we were combatting, and many times

08/11/03 5 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10
  THE BEST EVER GAME thanks for all NPC you guys did you should act for real :P


08/10/03 9 10 10 10 10 10 8 7 10 9
  Excellent Game! I can't wait to play the rest of the series.


08/10/03 10 10 10 10 10 8 9 9 10 10
  The best and longest game iv ever play but i love it :)


08/10/03 8 9 9 10 10 9 7 9 8 8
  5 DMs could at times be overwhelming due to having so many NPCs chatting at once. In a crowded tavern this can really make your head spin. Great NPCs though just hard to really appreciate each and every one of them when they're all talking at once.

The plot started out a tad cliched (good guy turns out to be bad guy *gasp!*) but got more interesting and unique as it went on.

Challenging but by no means too hard. At one point when the going was getting rough, some heal kits -- dozens of the dang things -- kind of mysteriously appeared in some barrels. Probably not totally necessary. 3 would have been nice, but 50 of them was making things a bit too easy on us. Let some PCs (gee, I wonder which ones?) drop dead to teach them a lesson; a little suffering might help keep us in line. "Shucks, we are out of heal kits and it will take some time to find more. You'll have lie there holding your guts in for 5 minutes or so while we find more. Guess you might not want to charge into the middle of a room full of monsters next time..." ;)

  I have heard good things about FleetStreet and now I know why. The Npc's were amazing. The module was top notch, the combat was extremely challenging....

If it wasn't for a few tech problems this one would have been 10's all around.

  VoS was beautifully designed and executed to near perfection. Of course, this is always expected with Duncan and ST, so it makes any kind of review somewhat tempered. I guess that's what happens when the bar is set immesurably high ;) THe layouts were logical and impressive, the toolset was used to recreate teh theme perfectly. I gasped a few times at the scenery and music.

The Plot was great, and wonderfully freeform (or at least had that feel). As usual the NPCs were teriffic, and kudos to you guys for really mirroring true Bedouin cultural ideas. You handled the few problems we had very smoothly, and it detracted virtually nothing from a wonderful game.

Once again, you guys make Fleet Street the class of NWN.


08/02/03 9 10 10 8 9 10 10 10 9 5
  Good stuff.... The intrigue in the castle is amazing, not knowing what the hell we're doing, or what is going on, creating a lot of RP opportunities between the party, as well as intense combats and a very dark plot. Fun, yes.

  Excellent job running this game! And man did you guys have patience with us. It was insane how many problems we had. There were even more problems than I think you were aware of! It was unfortunate we had so many computer related issues because the individual it happened to is one that does not believe that roleplaying can be that good in NWN :). As to a critque of the game... My only problems were that a) No NPC interaction for 3 hours of the game. b) At the end I could not quite understand why the antagonist had done what he had done. However, the majority of it was outstanding. The beginning was one of the best intros I have ever seen! You guys do get my Top 5 vote. ~ Rizzen


07/22/03 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10
  Thank you for a great game. It was like no other game I have played so far and had some great plot points. Interesting character twists, really enjoyed the way things went and how the module started and ended. Great game to all the DMs. You did a fantastic job. Thanks for having us for your game. I really enjoyed playing. Thanks again


07/22/03 9 10 10 10 10 5 10 10 8 10
  After overcoming wierd internet problems (not server related) things began to flow nicely. Nothing felt scripted. You guys did a great job. Thanks for taking the time to run us.

  My first Fleet Street Game and I surely hope not my last. The guys were very helpful. I like how you try to experiment with various aspects of the engine: add a cutscene, add custom music, etc. I also like some of your custom items, although, I think you misspelled Regan's name on her chainmail on purpose. ;P Hehe. I was not expecting some of my backstory to be used in some of the items you gave me, so thank you! I hope to see you both again in two weeks!


07/22/03 9 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 9 10
  God's in the detail. So much cool stuff, such a ... responsive world. Like the NPC interaction (the kobold with the story, Rego on the boat), our crazy plans (drugging the swamp beast), "mom" dealing with the altar, the challenging fights, and then, at the end, all of us getting totally screwed by a slight cultural misunderstanding... Nifty. :)


07/21/03 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9
  Another well designed and executed adventure. I had a great time, and I hope this one continues into the future as a full blown campaign. I know I will be there. Thanks.

  Gothic.... very gothic.

Liked the watching Elf a lot... tied it in with the previous sessions well, and I'm sure the Baron will have lots of interesting things to say now that he has us in his study!

  I was really delighted that i could play in this game as i'd heard so much good about these guys and i wasn't disappointed. The only gripe I had was that alot of the roleplaying past me by as the other players obviously knew the world and the background and no one took the time to explain things despite me asking IC a couple of times but they promised to address this if I play in future so I'm more than happy. Top marks.


07/11/03 9 10 10 10 10 9 10 10 10 10
  This was my first Fleet Street game but hopefully not my last. I always enjoy it when I come across some DMs who enjoy my particular sense of humour and can play off the ideas the players present in game. (ie: the idols, the baths, getting Squeek on the pay roll).

You guys seem to be very balanced between roleplying and combat, which is exactly what I like. Plenty of NPCs to interact with but also some very good fights. Nice use of doors to block certain areas through the module. I liked the orc champion jumping off a ledge, the spiders jumping down, and the ancient undead jumping down. All nice touches.

Special thanks to OldScratch for making me go with a druid. By integrating the swashbuckler personality I was thinking of with the druid class I came up with a very interesting character that was fun to play. My previous attempts at RPing druids never were that fun to play because I just can't RP a serious character. Being serious drives me nuts.

My favorite dialog moment was when the Safridite wench started talking me up about

  Good game as the other ones. Just wanted perhaps have the pile of things at the end not be there...would have been more interesting, but a big pain though.

  Hey all, the fleet-street crew really is something special. You have a great ability to let the player decide his fate, or feel like they do,anyway. I realize the hardest thing to do is to get a party moving in the direction of the plot, especially with Pandy around, but you all let us RP until, we decided what would be right for us to move toward. I don't know if that is frustrating for you, or not, but I enjoyed the ambiguity for the most part. I suppose, I could have just paid for some lovin and moved the plot, but my CG self couldn't come off the gold. Anywho, a great time and many opportunity for RP and action....I've got to get back in a campaign of yours.


07/03/03 10 9 10 10 10 10 10 8 9 10
  This was one of the best one shot games I have ever played. The DMs created NPC interactions that fostered a sense of a vibrant and living world, full of all too human NPCs, high drama and humor. At every point--from the opening tavern scene onward through exploration and the well-designed combats--it was so interesting that I did not want it to end.

The DMs were impressive as NPCs and very smooth throughout, with fine pacing for a very full night. The mod was technically strong as well, with good design, as well as excellent use of haks and custom music to set the mood.

For a maiden voyage of a new campaign mod and a new group a players, it was an amazing evening. Thank you!


07/03/03 9 7 7 9 9 8 8 6 8 8
  First of all, I enjoyed the players and the game as a whole.

Some contructive criticisms:

The party had a diverse alignment and if you are going to allow that you need to support those personalities. With 4 DMs this should not be a difficult task.

The tavern scene was way too chaotic for my monk, so there could have been more options in town. As long as it's a noncombat zone, I should have been able to find something else interesting to do.

In the sewers, there could have been a better option for my large PC to get around the gate.

I know these seem picky, but IMO, distracted from the ability to roleplay my character to the fullest.

All in all an enjoyable eve, I would like to play again with that group, the internal RP was fun.

  Overall a nifty evening. Not everything ran smoothly, but the DM crew ran with it, and we knew we were guinea pigs going in :)
