What goes with a HRPT?

You'll understand it all when the rumors go up. I came in in the middle, and I'm saying ... damn.

Saw shit you'll maybe never see again.

Aww man, I musta missed the good part.

Yes. You did.

Saw shit I never WANT to see again.  :shock:

My PC has an all time high body count for any RPT I've been in...WOOT!
A gaunt, yellow-skinned gith shrieks in fear, and hauls ass.

I saw jack shit. ;_;

Oh, well.  Still a fun time.

I was some awesome stuff, kudos to the staff for some great visual descriptions.
Too bad things were going by so damn fast it was hard to tell what was totally going on.

That was so freaking awesome.  I had a majorly good time.  Kudos to -everyone- involved.

My hands are still shaking a bit.

...

Just awesomeness.  Pure awesomeness.

Quote from: "Armaddict"Anyone who says bash is useless needed to die the way I did.

Yeah, those gith were nasty bashers.

Personally, I thought there was a good balance between the players' resources and then deadly nature of the gith.  People died if no one was organized, not because the gith ran in and gibbed one person.  I enjoyed it tremendously.

Kudos to all involved.  Everyone made it great, even the whiny people.  You added flavor.
Any questions, comments, or condemnations to an eternity of fiery torment?

"Be impressed.  Now!"

Yes, good job with focusing units on units. Thanks, staff.

i noticed how things were split between magickal gith battling magickal nakkis and mundane gith battling mundane nakkis.

a little unrealistic, but since it ups the playability, i support it.

There was a bit of mixing towards the middle in there. ;)

I still think the best closure you get in Armageddon is just moving on to the next character.

This was actually more by design of the players, rather than just specific staff peculiarities.

That was pretty freakin' sweet.

Now I have to make more hot chocolate.

It was just well-managed in general, considering the sheer number of PCs involved. Very, very fun. And my PC's adventures were exceedingly well-paced.  A satisfying night of Crackageddon.

Hey everyone.

SEND STAFF KUDOS.

I think the RPT itself was fantastic. Well played, nicely set up, the delight of discovering that magick and mundane would actually be set apart somewhat. The battles were dangerous and frightening enough without being distressing. Staggering PC attendance, and an effort made to give any PC a chance to have a purpose, even if they were non-combat. I didn't like the final result but that's a matter of personal tastes and opinions. As an RPT I think it was thoroughly well done.

ONLY complaint I have is. Kind of jarring to walk through what was a once-raided area(not saying where, though it should be obvious) and having bodies everywhere from both sides and everyone walking around like its normal and NPCs that were killed respawned and back to buisiness. Sorry, just to me it kind of destroys the awesome destructive mood set by the RPT :\.
HUGE kudos to staff though, it was best fun I have had in Arm for a long time.

DO IT!  :D

Re: Magick and mundane, the PCs involved in planning tried to separate all that out somewhat, because some folks like bacon and cheese and fireballs on their baked potato and some don't. I think it worked out well, and I hope nobody felt marginalised or anything because of it?

The staff were awesome, you really did a great job. This was the most exciting and most dynamic event I've ever been a part of.

I was very happy with the overall split of magick and mundane and the balance of the fighting. PC leadership was great.

The staff was totally, completely awesome. This was a great HRPT.

I'm gonna go all Gimfalisette on you guys and lay down some numbers.

A staff member sends:

A staff member sends:
     "er.. ignore that."


this needs some explaining. :?
A staff member sends you:
"Normally we don't see a <redacted> walk into a room full of <redacted> and start indiscriminately killing."

You send to staff:
"Welcome to Armageddon."

Someone says, out of character:
    "drop 'em."
And I vanish into the dark
And rise above my station

I'm actually curious how many PC's were killed during all of that slaughter.


And yeah that was all insane, I think one room had at least 82 npc's  corpses in it >_>

Awesome job by everyone, seriously.
<Morgenes> Dunno if it's ever been advertised, but we use Runequest as a lot of our inspiration, and that will be continued in Arm 2
<H&H> I can't take that seriously.
<Morgenes> sorry HnH, can't take what seriously?
<H&H>Oh, I read Runescape. Nevermin

I THOUGHT IT SUCKED WAAAAAAAAAAAAH WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH no it was okay. Yar.

I wasn't there, and I don't have anything to say about this HRPT in particular, but I wish there were -more- player involvement in HRPTs: Players on both 'sides' of the conflict, multiple possibilities for plot direction and outcome, player actions having direct influence on these plot turns, etcetera.

There's something I don't like about having a list of HRPTs that looks like:

NPC Gith attack Allanak
NPC Giants eat RSE
PCs (and NPCs) engage in Copper War
NPC Mantis attack Luir's
NPC Elementals eat Tuluk

I want more staff-encouraged PvP conflict, damnit!  I want contingencies!

I want PC-playable antagonist races!  I want more antagonists in general!

Rawr!  One in Five isn't enough!  Gimme more! More! MORE!

I think I will stop my ranting now...  I could continue, but no...

My medication is kicking in, and if I get to bed soon I will probably be able to sleep.
