Update, 3ish sessions later: 10/10, continue to love this game and the autonomy I feel! It's simultaneously freeing and daunting to have so much control over the story, but Doc does a great job scaffolding the process. He offers so many little hooks and points of interest, and if you take the bait one of them he immediately starts working with you to figure out how it fits into your character's interests or stories. He asks us to collaborate on defining the world and lets facts that he offers up shift and mold until people get excited about where they land. He waits until we signal where we want to go and then he takes us there. And even with all that collaboration he *still* finds ways to surprise us and bring unexpected wonder into the game. It's so. dang. cool. OG review: Doc is incredible!! He supports the process of collaborative storytelling in truly magical ways. He invites players to build the world alongside of him and pays attention to their characters' backgrounds and desires in order to offer storylines that might be enticing. And what's even cooler? He doesn't take offense when we turn our noses up at the bait and go looking for another path! This isn't *his* story that we're on the ride for, it's *our* story that he's helping us to shape. In two sessions, I feel more connected to my character and party than I have in any other campaign!
Howie is a performer through and through and clearly puts a ton of thought and planning into his work! He makes it easy to get immersed into a wild and whimsical world and he creates a safe environment where players who are strangers to one another can quickly grow comfortable enough to roleplay and vibe.
