@LilithFairYYC But they were, all of them, deceived, for another ring was railed in secret.

@HeatherKlimchuk @edmontonfringe Thank you for coming! I was mostly just glad the cell phone went off when it did and not three minutes later!

@bengelinas I agree that there are elements of 3 that are great that it doesn’t get enough credit for. For my money, the Sandman inclusion/backstory you refer to is what sinks it below the first two. He doesn’t feel like he belongs in the established world.

@lesterleesm “Monsters can’t crit” seems like an arbitrary rule to make things easier for players to win, as if that was ever the ultimate goal of collaborative RPGs. Crits are always offers of storytelling gold, whether successes or failures. Everyone should have them.

@VinceSideJokes That feature comes standard in most Vancouver suites.

@IntellectHomo It also has a lot of puzzles and challenges and enemies whose fights are based around the precise angle of your controller to mimic directional sword swings. This was touted as a dynamic feature. I was more lukewarm on it in execution.

@lindaholmes How do drag queen/actors fall into this performer dichotomy? I’m thinking of Shangela/DJ Pierce, but there are others.
