Her Tears Fall As Rain

Dave played a curious child.
Frank was a cursed youth.
Fred started off as a harsh truth-teller.
Matt was a brave javelineer.
Lisa was a misunderstood artisan.
Don was a burning prophet.
And Shawn played the crazy grandmother.

These were the characters in the game of Ganakagok<saving

I really enjoyed this game -- ties with the Mortal Coil game I was in as my best-of-con.  Which is saying something, given its position as a midnight slot!

Becoming a cannibal ghoul relatively early in play was pretty entertaining.  Once I understood that my character's story was a tragedy, I had no trouble turning it up to eleven.  And the system supported my continued involvement in matters even after my character had essentially been removed from play.  Nice.

Yes, and it was nice that you were still acting through the instrumentality of your character, rather than through some kind of metagame currency. You were still able to draw upon your character via the effect he'd already had in the fiction on other characters; essentially, on their memory of him.

And let me add:  I love your notion of the defeated cannibal-ghoul sinking into the depths of the ocean to become the source of corruption in the new world, with the hero who defeated you cursed to wander the world and watch your depredations without the power to stop them.  Brrr. 

And I like just being able to say, "Cannibal-ghoul."  Here I waggle my fingers eerily as I say it.

The only part I didn't like was blacking out due to utter exhaustion.

I'll send the quotes I wrote down when I've got a chance -- we're flying to the UK for a filking convention tomorrow.

Lisa -- Don't even worry about the exhaustion part.  It was 3 am! -- Bill
