We welcome player feedback about the End of the Third Chapter and initial impressions of the Fourth.

CHEERS WILDLY AND GIVES THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE!

Divine Intervention

Incredibly well made, the new areas are awesome, and those projections telling the history of Sanctuary are really neat scripting.  10/10.

EFU:M's End.

Overall thematically the apocalypse was well done. As one of the people eager to rush into the fun of Old Port it was a great nihilistic and end of the world feel to it, so even as a ruse it was a great distraction during the transitional period. The NPCs and overall ambiance of the area gave it a great vibe.

People were genuinely afraid of Ymph and any alternative, even a corrupt one, is something people tolerated in the face of extinction.

Re-introducing "The Way" And the subsequent march below was thematically great and overall an excellent push into the new setting. Though my two attempts failed I feel it would have been quite the accomplishment to succeed and am eager to see how the Old POrt/Ymphian PCs integrate into the new setting.

Initial reactions:

The Prologue is one of the best damn areas I have ever seen on EFU. You guys have outdone yourselves both thematically and as an introdcutory area to the new setting. The altar, the graffiti, etc. It's all just a great welcome to the tone and grim setting as EFU returns to the Underdark.

The whole process was amazing, several awesome events, the way it was carried out impressed me... I followed mostly of it through forums and IRC or unimportant characters, and it exceeded all my expectations. I'm super excited about chapter four, I have no doubt it'll be the best so far. for what I've seen it looks really good, not to mention I'll finally get a little taste of what it was like back in the first chapter, that the veterans talk so much about.

I like how merchants no longer charge outrageous prices for rather mundane things.

It's very nice to have a chance to get through as opposed to a simple wipe.
 
I think the pcs who had brought about the Darkening should have some sort of memorial or in game presence possibly as npc villains somewhere.
 
I'm not sure how much of the Illithid empire is source and how much is Howland's, but they remind me very strongly of the way the world seems to be headed.

please! more of this.
I love this kind of stuff. I want more grimdark!

So, I really enjoyed this start! Let not the Sanctuary go without it.

Shoot more Horror/ Mystery!

It is difficult to find the words that truly express our appreciation, because even saying “thanks” seems inadequate.  Especially when you consider the great length, selflessness and sacrifices (plus comical antics) made by our DM team to ensure that we have a platform of expressing ourselves and allowing our imagination to wander unrestricted.

It is good that we have returned to our roots and the aspect that best defines us as a community. 10/10. A masterpiece.

On a more personal note, the Underdark is a painful reminder of my notorious days as someone who was out to cause grief. Hence EFU:R represents Redemption and another chance to finally close that chapter with a positive contribution.

I am a big fan of the new setting.

It just feels a lot more alive than the lost one, especially with the lack of withering - now people can roleplay outside the main hub without fear of becoming more diseased.

The fact that the main hub itself is also more of a city than a village also great, kudos to the DM team!

I'm simply speechless.
Expected a 'twist'. But nothing on such a grand scale.
Amazing.

The Old Hack

I was totally faked out by the final twist. I had expected some sort of new setting based either on Old Port or Amn, but nothing like this. It was very well done and the narrative DM shouts left me all but stunned.

I was concerned about how new PCs would find Sanctuary, but the device of the Machine rescuing survivors is a splendid replacement for the Mythallar. Thank you. It will save a lot of stretching in the creation of backstory for new characters.

I am looking very much forward to this chapter as I had heard much about Sanctuary but arrived too late to EfU to experience it.

And once again, thanks for the massive effort put forth by all the DMs!

There are no words to express how pumped I am about this UD setting.. hounded on by abberants and illithids no less!!!

VengefulSeraphim

The End was just as frightening and horrifying as one can make it. I came late into the game with EfU, joining on with EfU:M, so I definitely look forward to seeing Sanctuary in all its glory and having a chance to see what veterans here rave about.
