Fun party, miserable GM
A genuinely fun and goofy romp starring a cast of unlikely heroes with decent chemistry is always fun to hear. Their approaches to the bizarre and disgusting world they find themselves in are as entertaining enough, but even the good vibes from the players can’t overpower the funk of the GM’s narrative choices. I’m in no way passing a moral judgment on the GM for liking the overindulgent gore and visceral depressing nature of the story he wanted to write, I just don’t find it fun to keep coming back to how miserable he’s trying to make each party member at the cost of character development. The needless graphic cruelty gets old pretty fast, and almost every non hostile NPC the main cast speaks to has a decent chance of dying horribly. Which in itself isn’t necessarily bad, but the constant need to up the ante on the grossness and unfairness of it got old pretty fast. At least they’re sponsored by liquor services so you can take a shot every time the GM describes something as “the most horrible thing you’ve ever seen”
