My thoughts on the game:


I picked Syryana and Prism as reviewers because I knew that Syr would encourage my chaotic side with the design and Prism would try to keep me closer to the straight and narrow. They both delivered and I promise you this game was much, much better for their review skills.

Prism is an incredible co-mod. Thank you so much for being there when I needed you, despite your insane schedule!

I should have given the Union Busters some more power, including at least one ninja shot.

I need to dial back the madness in my role madness setups. I keep telling myself to simplify next time, and then dial up the complexity instead.

I'll probably ask for a design time limit exception with future large theme uPIcks to allow for more tire kicking and balance juggling. This game could have used a couple more days in the workshop.

I had initially planned to have very light flavor and focus on the mechanical hell I was co-creating with every player's JOAT picks. Syryana suggested the Union Buster identities, which I loved, and then it snowballed from there.

I'm so happy to read that you enjoyed playing this game, and I very much enjoyed the role playing that wove through the game days!

If you like the JOAT uPick concept, I'll be happy to run another one someday, and if you'd like to try your own hand at designing a JOAT uPIck you're very welcome to do so!

Some of you are first time ffery-game players. I hope it was fun, and I will be overjoyed to see you sign up in future games!

My next modded game will probably be another Perpetual MELO, an open setup with some twists. I have a soft spot for this setup, and would like for it to run at MS every 2-3 years at least.

Although, do tone down the redirects. You also suffer when you try to resolve bunch of them, and you only want the players to suffer.

Given the amount of redirection bullshit, I honestly expected them to have a factional "choose one of your own not making the NK, they are immune to any sort of redirection BS" sort of thing.

I have thoughts for the next JOAT uPick, if there is one.
