Host Comments:
This was a fun experiment, and I enjoyed my time as host a lot. I can't say it ran perfectly smoothly, but especially for my first time, I am very satisfied with how things went down. HUGE shoutouts to my
The Sun Fan, who got roped in probably way more than he bargained for and was still a fantastic assistant. Without him, this setup would have failed miserably.
I learned a lot from running this, and I would love to run another mechanics-heavy game like this someday. Definitely not this setup exactly, I really don't love having a Merlin, but it still worked out decently. It's probably not gonna be the next game I propose (I'm pretty sure the next time I want to host, I will want something "normal"), but I'm definitely going to submit another "No VT" game one of these days.
Also, I love Kiseki, and pretty much everything Falcom, ever, so if I got a few people at least interested in this franchise, it's a big bonus! As for the fic, I have most of Day 2 to adapt and what transpired tonight, so I'll release it in a little while. It didn't look like the game was going to end tonight, but I'll go hard at it in the coming days. But as far as TWG goes, I hope it was all fun and "immersive" enough.
I'll discuss player performances in post #2. I will however say that both
XelNya and
Arp! equally deserve MVP. Neither of them did anything wrong in regards to their win condition and it would be unfair to penalize Arp! simply for rolling a 3rd party character. In the meantime, I will now accept game proposals from other people.
I hope you all enjoyed this game and I'd be happy to receive feedback on your experience with this setup!
