Critique:
By now you guys know I'm less worried about success or failure and more into the sort of story we can tell. I was really impressed with the way you guys were able split up (a couple of times) and still kept the story in sync with the posts. Usually that really messes up the 'timeline' and people get confuse about who is doing what and when it's all happening. Nice work there.

One thing I did notice, and this is more for Fisher than anyone else. Jeremy, you mention in several places about Fisher being an anime geek, which is awesome. I noticed though that the few times you tapped into his inner anime geek and made references... they were all in his head or his narrative. Remember, the other characters can't hear what you're saying in your head. We know he's an anime geek, we've read his sheet, so putting it in a narrative for us doesn't do much unless you express it through the PCs actual expressions. Make him the geek!  Just an observation.

So, nice work guys on a successful first episode! Let's get ready for Episode 2! You may spend you XP or bank it. Once the next Episode begins, you can not spend any XP until the end of Episode 2. Don't worry about training times, that's factored into the downtime between episodes.

ALSO! Now that you've played your PC, whether I designed it for you or not, if there are any changes you'd like to make to your PCs statistics, you may do so. I understand that sometimes things look good on paper, but once we test it out in practice, it doesn't jive well. If there was something you didn't like, take this opportunity to re-adjust the PC to your liking.

Episode 2: 'The Fast and the Furriest' is coming soon!
