Ghosts of Gauntcliff poll #3

Pay your poll-tax.
Delight is to him- a far, far upward, and inward delight- who against the proud gods and commodores of this earth, ever stands forth his own inexorable self.

Gimme more! ... And get me polls that don't tell me I've submitted invalid forms.

It feels a bit early to say. There is mistery, all right, but we haven't done any proper investigation so far, so...

I voted no because I feel the answers should be separated. There IS enough mistery, there is not, in my opinion, enough investigation yet, although that is to blame on us or the timing of the poll.

I'm satisfied, since the mystery/mysteries have been discovered, at least in part, by our actions. That is, we didn't have to explore the abbey ruins yesterday, and the attack on Everline may or may not have had something to do with her visit to The Waters. (I feel a need to add, "Dun dun DUNNNNN" after that.) That's cool with me.

Yup. Your choices matter as much as my notes (or the rules, or random stuff). Like other games I run, this isn't a heavily scripted, linear adventure. There is a full backstory, which you may discover in play.

I try to run the sort of campaign I'd want to play in, but I'm aware that my tastes may not always match those of my players. That's one reason I occassionally take these polls. It's useful to get some feedback.

I want more mystery, more intrigue and more investigation! I will however hold on making my vote for the time being so far it is only day two of the game! I want to see what happens with additional guests before I make my vote.
