OOC

Its totally understandable. Trying to post while taking care of kids is damn near impossible.

I want to say I'm sorry to everybody for my recent inactivity... I've currently got a lot happenning in my life, both at home and at work. I do not want to retire from any games but I'll understand if you want to replace my character... For now I'll try to post as often as I can but if any Dm wants/needs to play my character to advance the story, you have my full benediction... I hope I can get back to normal as soon as I can...

Hey, because of the slowdown necessitated by my work, I've lost my place here. Won't take much to get started, but please send me a PM with any current hidden items that you've told me about in the past because I'm afraid I've forgotten.

I'm sorry guys but I'm going to have to bow out of this game. The limits on my time have made it almost impossible to keep up with everything that is happening here. I apologize for not being able to keep up.

I'll be leaving as well. I have not been able to enjoy this game and I feel I have given it a fair try.

I wish the best to everyone and see you all in other games.

I think I'll take this opportunity to leave as well. I love the concept and I had fun with the game in its beginning parts where we were dealing with events on a smaller scale, trying to do some political scheming, improving our standing, etc, but this whole civil war that has absorbed the entire game and taken the focus off of those things isn't really fun for me.

So enjoy the game everyone and those of you that I play with in other games, I'll see you in those!
Thanks for running this, Falcon, and sorry for dropping out on you again after I already tried to give the first version of this a chance but couldn't handle the backlog

No worries. I think this needs a very specific set of players, probably. This leaves us with three players. Do we want to continue? If not, I will totally not hold it against anyone. This was an experiment.

If the remaining players are willing, I'd be going for a few more rounds, maybe trying to bring it to an end, or maybe we'll have new players joining ?
I'll admit I really wanted to see how everybody would react to my last move....
Anyway, the Kraken Society is ready to go on !!

I'm fine either way. Are you interested in feedback on the system and the game?

I am open to feedback. In fact, I've gotten quite a bit, and have revised the rules some already, just didn't want to introduce them quite yet.

I feel like I'd want to start again (or at least move the timeline forward significantly) if I were to introduce a lot of rules changes.

Cool. One thing was that resolution of actions took a while, and sometimes plot threads were forgotten. I think some form of player facing resolution would help with that, since it seems like a bit much for one person to keep track of.

Also clear limits for what can and can't be done in one season and what goes into the next. More than once, I was waiting for a season to finish so I could do something in the next and then others took more actions in the same season.
I feel like I wasn't playing efficiently because I wasn't aware of how much I could do.
And maybe new threads for new seasons could make things clearer...

I'm leaning towards stepping away from the game as well because I'm not sure it will capture the feel of a kingdom-wide political theatre with only 3 PCs and I think it'll be challenging to integrate new players into the existing game. I'd prefer to start over so everyone is on the same level in terms of world building and history etc. But in that case, I think I'd like to take a break, maybe try another game out for now and come back to this type of game in the future. I enjoyed many parts of the game, but I agree with saevikas and bowl, a bit more structure and resolution-mechanisms might be helpful. I might add a few comments and suggestions here once I've thought them through. But thanks so much for developing and running the game Falconloft and I look forward to playing with everyone in other games.

I don't know about everybody else, but is anyone curious about what actions the other houses were planning ?
The rebellion, the plague, the undead monster, the orc invasion ? If we're stopping I want to know what was going on ! Please don't leave me in the dark lol...
Anyway Falconloft, if you're going on with this one or starting anotherone, I'm in !

I appreciate the feedback, and will definitely work it in to whatever comes next. I think that three is probably a bit low too, so I will close this game, and we'll try again after I've had time to work on things. In the meantime, watch the discord for revisions and give me more feedback!

I'll leave this open for now until everyone's seen it, just post to let me know please.

I think this concept has great potential so I'm curious to see the next iteration of it when it happens.

Ditto, I'll definitely be following along on the discord and I'll chime in whenever I have input or think of more feedback from the current game.
