Part 1: Your characters
1.) If asked "Do you think you're beautiful?" How would your character respond?
"I'm well enough I suppose... but there are plenty of people more beautiful than I, and they care about it more, too."
2.) What is Your character's Totem animal and why?
The Bull - You are strong and couragous, and have the ability to weather tough situations and become prosperous through them. You can never have too much, for abundance is something you cherish.
3.) If your character could have any weapon of any power what would it be and why?
"My weapon of choice would be connections--I'm not a very physical kind of person, but with enough power and influence, you can achieve anything."
4.) What does your character miss Most about Galeigha (Your starting continent)
"I'd have to say I miss being able to kick back and relax at the Blinking Dog after a long venture." She sighs wistfully. "Don't get me wrong, I love to travel, but there's something nice about knowing you have somewhere to call home."
5.) What is your character's strong point/area of expertise?
"Healing, of course." She smiles winningly. "I mean, I'm beginning to branch off into... other areas of expertise. But until I'm better practiced, healing the weak is what I do best."
Part 3: The campaign
6.) What was your favorite part of the campaign so far and why? You can have several if you like.
It's hard to choose a 'favourite' part. I'd have to say I just love those moments when we all actually click and we work and RP well together. Infiltrating Zargath's castle and beating Zargath was fun... but so was Guren's trial, when we actually got around to it.
7.) What was your least favorite part of the campaign and why?
I think I'm with Jesse. Those long sessions leading up to the trial were hard to get into, and we felt really aimless. But I like all of the actual plot aspects of the story. ^__^
8.) How do you feel about the Roleplaying/story aspects of the campaign?
Like I said, the story aspects are all pretty great! I especially like it that more of the backstories are beginning to come to light, and I like our in-character group dynamic.
9.) How do you feel about the combat aspects of the campaign?
I love combat, because it's a chance to explore the abilities and extent of my character's powers. On the flip side, I feel that sometimes I don't really get much of a chance to act in combat, either. But that's the price to pay for having a large party, when it takes so long to cycle through a round.
10.) If I were tailoring a campaign specifically to you what would be changed?
Hm, well... if the campaign were specifically tailored to me it would be on another day so I could continue playing Magic on Friday nights, lol! Really, I can't think of much that I would want changed. I like what we've got. <3
Part 3: Demos
11.) Which demo had the best Setting and story? And why?
I think the best setting and story was probably the Gestalt, because it seemed like a really cool concept, and it had Necrander 'Le Don' Cheridon. xD
Sadly, I didn't really get to do much in that one, because I wasn't there for most of it. >.< But I liked what I saw.
Actually, the Halloween adventure had the greatest story and encounters, but I'm not really sure it counts as a demo.
12.) Which demo had the best rules? And why?
The best rules, I think... um, probably just the demos with the 3.5 rules. I enjoy anime rules but I like the system I'm comfortable with. Gestalt was great rules too, because you get to be soooper strong and awesome.
Also, I loved the panic scale in the Halloween adventure, it was a neat system. ^_^
13.) Which demo would you like to see most?
EPIC LEVEL!!!
14.) Which demo, if any did you have the most trouble understanding and why?
I didn't really have any trouble understanding the demos, to be honest.
15.) What can be done to improve the experience of the demonstrations?
Hmm... I think if it was kept secret until we all got together that would make for an improvement. If we all get to vote, then the losers don't like it because it isn't what they picked. If nobody has a say, it solves that problem. Also, if people aren't told ahead of time, they don't have the extra time to form judgements on whether they like it or not.
Part 4:
16.) Do you have My contact information if you have any questions?
Yeeeeep, I sure do!
17.) Do you feel That miniatures of a more professional quality improve the gaming experience?
I think that the minis are super cute and fun, but they aren't necessary. The story and good dming make upp for the lack of props. As long as we have some kind of visual, everything is good. ^_^
18.) Do you feel comfortable with the D20 Rules system?
Very, and I'm getting better all the time. <3
19.) Provide 2 compliments and 1 criticism about the campaign or demos
- I love all of our NPC's! I think that they, and the connections between them and our characters, are a big part of what keeps people coming back for more. You highlight our favourites, and also introduce new NPC's at a good rate. ^_^ And you do voices. I love the voices. XD
- Your settings are really greaat, and the story is always creative and grabbing. ^_^
-Although... sometimes I'd like to hear a little more setting description (but you're usually good about it). Also, I think our group is too big when we're all together... but at the same time, I can't imagine actually cutting out any of the characters. I love all of our players and their characters. ^_^
20.) Do you have any closing thoughts or statements to help me improve the campaign or future campaigns?
All in all, I'm really enjoying this campaign! I'm growing more each session, and you're a very encouraging and thoughtful DM. ^____^ Just keep up the good work, and even though we sometimes don't show it, we all appreciate the hard work that comes into play behind the scenes as well. <3

"No, I'm not... although I wish I were." *Devious blush* "I might offer it to my god in tribute, were that the case."

"Tons, and I won't tiptoe around the fact. Sometimes, it's just necessary for people to die." *Shrug*
9) Do you hate anyone?
"Hate is such a strong term... If you had asked earlier I would have said Zargath, that damn Orc. But lately I'm not so sure."
10) Do you have any secrets?

30) Ever kissed anyone?
"Yes, but a kiss is just a kiss. So what of it?"
31) ...Of the same gender?
