Seek the Wolf in Thyself!
Oddly, I am never really satisfied with a 2 hour session or less playing an RPG. I love to tell an epic story and it’s rare that you can get one told in 2 hours or less. But I have done it and still had fun. In most cases, it was done at a convention as a demo for a particular system or a quick arena fight.

So we got feedback from That Con because they like to do surveys and all that. While I am sure they have more than enough to deal with on the fandom end, by statistics, we did fine. Out of 66 respondents, about 3 were rather scathing and hurtful. So, cathartically, I am posting them here. It is a realization that if my work with That Con is going to continue, I have to really look inside myself and figure out what is going on. Is it burnout? Or is it something else? Can it change?
(Under Construction) This sums up what the core book says about the HLA – They are a fascinating group, who believe that an alien species known as the Hykosians are going to invade Consortium space very soon.
