  1. I love how this is developing and the last act is highly amusing.

  2. This one is utterly hilarious.
    I laughed until I cried.
    Good job all

  3. So… I’m not gonna lie, I had to stick with it to get into this campaign at first (dunno why, was just a rough entry for me at the start, perhaps an issue of context of setting or wasn’t interested in the setup on my part, I will fully admit, it is probably on my end). BUT, after the last session and this one (especially the last half of this one) I’m glad I stuck with this and kept listening. I am grabbed hook line and sinker.

    I am really enjoying the feel of the setting (which to me feels like Pirates of the Caribbean meets the Fable VG Series) and the discourse, roleplaying and antics of this crew have grown on me elevenfold (Once again, ESPECIALLY the last half of this session).

    Good job guys, look forward to the rest.

    1. Thanks for the feedback! Feel free to go more in depth on what you weren’t fond of at the start. I recognize the pace was a bit ponderous, but I always love to hear ideas on what I/we can do better. Otherwise though, thanks, glad you’re liking it!
