Twitter hit by major disruption

• In the game I mostly did simple difficulty tests- I could have had more challenges, to help people get used to the system.  The final challenge between the sea monster and the players I had some trouble with, as it was initially too powerful, and even with the team-up rules I had to fudge and give bonus dice to the team leader for the people assisting.  Well, I didn't HAVE to do that, but it was late, and people were eager to have it be over with.

• I really should have suggested that people use inappropriate cliches, and possibly pumped their cliches.

• For that matter, I think I also need to define more closely what people's cliche's are capable of.  Getting short one-sentence descriptions of what the cliche is capable of should help.

• On the other hand, I was thrilled by how a lot of the players really got into describing what they're characters were doing.  That sort of enthusiasm is a balm to this old GM's 's withered heart.

• For that matter, I really shouldn't be surprised when players do things I didn't expect them to do.  It did stretch part of the game beyond what I thought it would dtake, and approached one of the problems from a completely different angle, but it's going to be interesting to see how they run with things.

• How ARE they going to get rid of the sea monster before morning?
