Disappointing ending. You should have had them find a path that would have lead them back into the heart of town. Also I don't believe for a moment that any of the guys would have left Amanda to die. They were all fighting to sit next to her in the beginning of the adventure.

I'll be honest, I was surprised that Cheryl was able to convince the men-folk to leave her behind. Not what I was expecting.

Sorry you were disappointed in the ending DadsAngry. In truth the first Tremulus I have run and actually made to the end. In retrospect it could have gone longer or had a happy ending where we ended it. But que sera, sera

I enjoyed listening to the final session of this and the whole story throughout. Tremulus seems to be an interesting system, but to me I'm still trying to wrap my head around how it should be played.

I don't recall hearing, what story options were chosen? It sounded like at the end they were sent to the players, but I don't recall hearing them.

Also, what happened to Jon's character?!? Did they mob take him as he feverishly worked on his latest story? Did he escape, only to use this as inspiration? Did Cheryl secretly dismember his body and place it in the trunk of her car?

I'm sure that's what happened. Unfortunately, I was not able to attend the games due to the hour in which they were played for someone in the Central Time Zone. I was still knee-deep in being a dad to a couple of rambunctious snotlings during that hour.

That will happen.

As the mob was coming up, I honestly enjoyed picturing your character in his room working hard as inspiration had hit him only to be startled as a group of people brandishing torches burst into your room. Good times.

To be fair, remember that the mechanics of the game have a "trust" scale, and it changes in-game. We adjusted the trust level on the characters and it changed the iteration. Amanda was such a Diva that Frankie felt disappointed, missing points of trust in the distribution. Something similar happened to other characters.

Have just finished listening to this series of podcasts and I must say thank you - it really helped me understand how tremulus plays.
Mahaffa, do you have any details of the framework and/or notes you developed for this story ?
Thanks.
