GM Hatoful Q&A

[Hatoful GM]

Few things!

First, this game was closer to how I usually run in-person games than the first one. Lots of silly! Like the time I designed a fight out of a song from the Karate Kid musical episode. I'm glad to have gotten to share a bit of that with you lot.

Second... I can't say that I'm guilty for not putting as much into this as I would have liked, but I do regret that I wasn't able to. If I was able to do it again, I'd, uh, try not to get sick right at the start? It is what it is, and I'm glad to have done something, even if I didn't have as much of myself to put in.

Questions ahoy!

Thank you for running the game too!

I suppose I was considering Teffa poking inside Olon's brain at some point. She seemed like a nebulous and legendary figure to her, mentioning her in conversations with others in that regard. It would have been eventually neat to get some facts to her fiction.

Sad I didn't get to have my chess and tea with Olon in the end. Loved the Baron, and Dum-dum was brilliant. I did enjoy this band of misfits, it had a really good EotE feel

[Isond Vaal]

Asking here since it seems likely to be lost in Discord. Wanted to know more of the story with Olon and her Hapan family here. Like...what happened such that she went and dissed them twice like that? Just that cold-blooded and vying for that worst mom in the galaxy title?

Amused at the way 'crime mom' played out.

[Hatoful GM]

I hadn't decided ahead of time how much of Olon's backstory to reveal. It ended up being "not much", which I think helped make her more mysterious. Which was neat! But that was during the game, this is post game Q&A!

Exactly what the event that caused her to forsake her heritage wasn't defined, and I think it works better that way; even she doesn't really remember. Regardless, she essentially ran away from her family, her problems... her daughter... it wasn't the best. Hitting them from time to time was her way of reminding them of her existence, in a way.

So, hot-blooded became cold-blooded, and a solid shot at the worst mom in the galaxy, that sounds about right.

I also wanted to get the feel of "one last job". It's such a heist staple!

...

And yeah, I really enjoyed all you misfits, too!

"I'm still here! Your wife...remember!"

"Yeah well, after you ran off with the cat and my family fortune, I didn't much feel like sending you a Life Day card, ok?"

So we were involved in the final (?) chapter of a really dysfunctional family. That fits pretty well. XD

Thanks for putting in the work to run the game, and for inviting me in! Especially during these hard and stressful times. Loved the experience ever so much
(Yes, that's copy pasted, don't judge me!)

We didn't manage to have a lot of scenes together this game, but I very much enjoyed the ones we did have! Even if Addy was.. well, mean to just about every one of the NPC's of yours I did interact with

I do still kinda love Addy just dissing the Baron like she did at the ball, cause.. well- it was a great display of petty that just needed to be there

Now- I could probably come up with a "better" question but I'm just gonna have the ask the one that is certainly on everyone's minds.

If Addy and the Baron ever met again, what are the chances you think they'll duel and what's the value of property damage you think'll be caused?
