@ThinslayerI mostly agree with you on everything you've said. Just one thing though about timeline issues, etc..
I feel as though the Warg attack was a little out of place? As you say, it was a random thing you threw at us. This is just my opinion, feel free to disagree with me, but I think if we were to wait just a little longer for everyone to establish camp and
then throw a Warg attack at them, it'd create more of cause for alarm. To me it just felt like they only just started walking and then a pack of Wargs come out of the forest (Even though you time skipped it a little). Mostly just mistimed I think.
I think of my character as quite separate person from myself, so their actions are defined by their personality (As obvious as that is.) Thus I'm not going to force them to do something that's not 'them' just for the sake of pushing something forward. The RP may have slowed down due to real life, but doing a timeskip and skipping dialogue that may have happened within the timeskip feels like the opportunity for characters to acknowledge others is lost.
In any case, It's fine as the GM to throw stuff at us, it helps a lot.
Like Zee, I do try to include others in my post and I apologise to anyone that feels like I've ignored them. However, please do use the [@] tag function, that helps me a lot, even if you mess it up and it doesn't notify me properly. I take the time to read everyone's posts anyway. The tag thing just helps me know who is the specific target of some things in the post.
Also: I'm just waiting for some others to post before I do, sorry.
