Thread: Narrative Gaming

I played in the wonkos narrative last Saturday. I guess as the rules go it was my first actual narrative event. As you all would have guessed I loved it.

Here is what happened.

The first thing I liked about it is we got to play zone mortals. I have played small games before but not one in a maze with doors you had to blow. I really liked the game.

The second thing was that in each of my next two games it did not matter whether I won. Yes, I got a shiny infernus pistol but frankly my interest was making sure my opponent had a good game.

The third thing is that it brought out a different crowd. No netlists, just dudes who usually probably play at home but felt it was ok to come out to wonkos. Well, it was.

I actually never thought not keeping a standings, not having a top table, and having random prizes would make a difference but it did.

So, I'm a narrative guy. I like to travel to play, but if I can play in a narrative I will do it. It's a lot more relaxing to play if you don't have to worry if the mistake you just made will cost you the game and a possible 2-1 record instead of 1-2.

I enjoyed the games as well (and I had a losing record ).

The story, along with the different setup and play, was nice because it helped me look a few things in a different way. Also, as a new (not based on time, but games played) player it was great to get in several games and learn. I had many takeaways, including plans for building my Inquisitor with his shiny new weapon

Thank again to Bal4eva.

Are they hosting another narrative event in March?

It is monthly. Check the events threads, bal4eva is running it.

Cool, thanks.
