I ran my first narrative Warcry event at Warhammer World for the UK Animosity
Discord meet-Up event on Sunday (21st January 2024). And it was really
enjoyable! I want to do it again.
It was for
the Animosity Weekender 2024: Rolling Thunder
which (by design) coincided with the Las Vegas Open - a huge convention, where
Naro, who is also one of the Animosity GMs, ran the AoS narrative event.
The Animosity Weekender there consisted of a one-evening Warcry event,
followed by a three-day AoS event. An entirely grander affair than mine! It
was at a ticketed convention, with the AoS narrative run for 24 players, over
3 days, and included doubles games, one-against-one games, and a huge
multi-player siege game finale.
My little event was just a one-day, 10-player, 3-game narrative. But still a
much more structured thing than the previous Discord Meet-ups, or any other
events I've hosted: They have always just been "lets get together and play a
few games".
For the first time ever, I asked players to pre-submit rosters, I scheduled
rounds, I recorded match-ups and results, and wrote an evolving subplot that
was to be decided by the results of the games each round.
