During the editing of The Guest Stars, I hosted a short playtest to help me get my bearings on my first third twenty-seventh draft of the map. The results were very helpful and also very funny, so I figured I'd share.
This will technically be my second play report, but the format will be more traditional this time around, because I'm stealing it from Ro and Falcon. (everyone say thank you!)
Setup
 |
| Because 91 - BEAUTIFUL GROTTO was submitted so early, the three wise men were actually the first hook/route added to the project. (then the runaway princess, then the two "normal" routes, then the frogs, then i needed 3 more to complete the set) |
With 3 hours to sundown, three wise men approach the front door of Big Evil Castle, following the falling star in search of the messiah.
- Paragon Carwyn, a high-strung pyromancer C on his last legs, financially speaking. (He brought the gold.)
- Serafin, a sexagenarian slayer C adventurer-turned-contented-academic. (He brought the myrrh.)
- Przegrzebek, a friendly street dauber C. This is his first dungeon :) (He brought the frankincense.)
I initially encouraged my play(test)ers to bring C templates because I was nervous they'd get mulched by a wandering vampire.
As for the map, levels 1 and 2 were stable enough to run at the time, but the sewers looked nothing like the current iteration. I was also still receiving room submissions at the time, so I had to leave gaps for myself to fill in. I'll point out changes where relevant.
