Fan mail

There's nothing so sweet as fan mail from your players. I got this from Phil, one of the players in my weekly Chill game, after the big finale to a current story line, involving an NPC they all like who was infected with lycanthropy.

Also, just wanted to say again how absolutely great the game was Wednesday night. The imagery you put in my head was just great and the sound effects were cool as all get out. You really did have me thinking we were looking at a possible TPK or at least running for our lives. I was trying to figure out if CHILL had rules for chase sequences. (i.e.- Can a werewolf/ghul run fast enough to catch a V-8 Chevy pickup at full highway speeds? ) Got interrupted about halfway through relating the story to the Friday night crew and the GM was literally leaning across the table asking "what happened next?" when the interruption stopped. The imagery of the ghul melting off his own skeleton even as he attacked got lots of comments.

Again, way to go Ms. Chill Mistress. It's not easy to inspire people to acts of heroism (Tony sacrificing himself) and desperation (Justin one second away from shooting Aiden-wolf when he got loose) in the same game session within minutes of each other.

I love these guys. We make role playing magic together.

hey are an amazing group - and the don't even realize they are doing most of the story creation via the choices they make and the ideas they give me. It didn't hurt that I was really on my game, and have been for a while now. The sound effect was one of wolves howling, and I was able to overlay the creepy music with it.

One of the concepts I've embraced from the Forge Indie Gaming folks is that of giving the players greater ownership of the story. I don't know if they even realize how much of the world they're creating.

It's really nice to eagerly anticipate running my game each week.
