As a player, I can say that it helped me get a better handle on Alethea and her character a bit.  Her backstory got settled better into my brain than if we'd just started off.

Basically, it permitted a kind of 'subcreation' test of the character, kind of like the standard once-over for likeability, as well as providing me a much better understanding as to what she thought she was getting into.

I'm fairly sure she regrets her choice, and is well on her way to becoming a rather cynical, sardonic anti-hero.

Yeah, I wanted to see how I could do "good" while still satisfying the needs of the Fell from a position of disadvantage.  But that's still my subtheme, it's just not as strong.  No problem.

Thanks for chiming in AnyaTheBlue and Christopher.

I was kind of hoping that the binding might work out as a roleplaying 'once over' for the character - and I'm still not sure that it worked that way for everyone.

I want to say that while we've gotten off to a slow start - I think we've gotten off to a good start.

All thanks to the hard creative work of the players.  I couldn't ask for a better group, at least not so far.

I'm very excited to get started, and I hope that I can live up to the promise of Story Now! inherent in both the game, and the players good prep work.

Regards,

Hey, Porter, I'm really sorry to hear about your game suddenly having to be killed.  :(  It was looking good while it was going.
