I gotta second this query, not least because aside from higashime, Ryusei only averaged one thread per NPC he actually encountered...Soshi Eiji wrote: ↑Wed Feb 12, 2025 10:58 pmDirector's Cut Question: Think back on the game as a whole.

Great game! The NPCs, keeping up with all of us, the prep and flexibility you showed. I had a lot of fun even though I wasn't a prolific poster.

Re: Welp, It's Gettin' t' Be That Time...
finally working my way through the tabs. Thanks for work put into all this. I've said a few times that it feels like 2 GMs running a 4 GM game. There were an awful lot of NPCs to keep track of.
Sorry workweek days usually ended up with not enough creativity to get rumors going (and I didn't end up retrieving the attempt at a round robin story from the Phoenix to punt along to delegation with more people). I enjoy both of those things being an active part of the game, but it can be hard for people to have reasons for either one.
Were there rumors that you really expected someone to pick up on that went unnoticed?

Re rumors, not so much. I'm an inveterate rumormonger in games, so when I run, I tend to throw a lot of them out there; it's more or less what I use as Memorable Moments, honestly, and occasional commentary. That folks don't run down every lead, I expect; even if they don't, it helps create the impression of the world existing outside the PCs themselves, which increases verisimilitude. Since Hobb, Tolkien, and Coleridge all point toward such things, I figure it's damned well good enough for me to do!
