Hey folks, I thought I'd try out a system of giving feedback to myself and other players about how the game is going so far. It's called "Stars and Wishes" and works like so:
At the conclusion of a game session (in pbp, makes more sense if we do it by chapter) everyone who played offers a Star to another player (including GM), to a moment in the game, or to an element of the overall experience (you can give out more stars if you have time). You can award a star for - amazing roleplay, great character moments, amazing descriptions by the GM, the feeling you had at a certain moment, another player’s generosity, a mechanic of the game system that really sang etc. A star is a thing you loved about the game - if the game you played was amazing it is often hard to choose!
After stars have been given, everyone makes a Wish. Each player tells the table something they would like to see happen in a future session. You can make a wish about - something you want to see happen with your own character, an interaction you’d love to see between two characters, a mechanic you would like to see come into play that you haven’t seen yet, places you hope the story might go, etc.So, go ahead and make a post about your stars and wishes based on how the game is going so far. Feel free to give as many stars and wishes as you like, and feel free to just chat about the game in general in an unstructured fashion.
