Really good. While we did have our detractors, and our dropouts, player engagement was strong right up until the end of the game (even with bumping into either games). We didn't have any major dramatic breakdowns or technical breakdowns. We had a wonderful mix of players, with some old faces that hadn't been seen in a long time mixing with some new blood who brought new life into the community.

Our success definitely came from the players. Without y'all, we have nothing. but an empty theater. Looking forwards to seeing you all in future games, on both sides of the screen.

Biggest surprise the game threw you?

Biggest "damn, I wish I'd done that differently" moment?

Favorite scene?

Carries his katana in an old, drab, battered saya. As of Day 13, wears a delicately carved bracelet of wooden beads polished smooth, laced through with red, yellow, and orange string and a small Phoenix token.
Standard gear: Ceremonial Clothes and a daisho. When in his element, ashigaru armor, a naginata, and a more relaxed form of terror are added into the mix.

Surprised at the relative lack of interest in the available NPCs as spouses?

Did you make plot hooks on the fly depending on what players show interest in or was it all written beforehand?

If the latter, are there some big things you're disappointed we missed?
