Good Question! I decided to use this method for several reasons, but the main one is so that the Game Master could join in on the fun of the game and it's story plot without worrying about giving away spoilers or keeping information from the players, because they honestly don't know what's going to happen next either! This allows them to engage with the game more like a player, and less like a referee.

Oi! Wolf pack tried to shiv me cause o' the full pearl. Ain't my lucky break of a day. Gave 'em a 'ittle chin music with the raz 'n the daz. Fur a split seemed all everyjig might sputter out but ain't backed out of a fight i couldn't run from yet. When they'd had enough, let'm walk. Ain't no use in a bunch o' fur coats if ya end up with a slit throat. Ya glean?
My train ride bite, but as always the game was a lot of fun. I have only myself to blame for the werewolf attack. I tried to play it civil. I thought, Geoffrey is a civil guy, he might just make a game with civil werewolves. Thinking was the mistake, tough; when it comes to super natural villains, you shoot first and ask questions never. I guess you can say I fucked around, and then I found out.
Ah, just saw your questions. Vampires vs werewolves? Hard to say, I come from the land of Dracula, so I'm inclined to say vampires. But our spirit animals were wolves. So I'll go with werewolves and I transform into a white wolf on a full moon night!
🎉 Oh, it bit, alright. Quite hard, at that. I almost destroyed the world, though. Maybe next time, I’ll succeed!
🐺 Hmmm... vampires can turn into bats and fly, which basically makes them the mosquitoes of monsters. So they’re annoying, spread disease, and are impossible to eradicate. That’s a serious tactical advantage!
🌕 A Sloth, hands down! 🦥 If I could experience a life of literally lounging around all day, even if just for once a month, I’d be a fool to pass that up. Also, it’s my actual spirit animal 😄
I feel a little sad because I have a soft spot for werewolves, but I nuked them and then ate cupcakes :-) I'd bet on werewolves in a matchup against vampires. I feel like the vampire is a machiavellian, and the werewolf is a berserker. In a closed arena, a flock of vampires has no chance. Out in the world, the tables are probably turned, though I'm not sure how compatible vampiring is with teamwork... kinda seems like a solo gig. On a full moon, I think turning into an owl would be a hoot (sorry ;-)
I loved this one! The rolling the dice aspect was super cool. Also, I’m not sure who would win in a fight! Depends if it’s senile vampires vs baby werewolves or wether or not it’s sunny outside 🤪 LOL This was fun!
Hey Ben! I think publishing the modules for Midnight Codex as episodes is really cool! I’ve seen video games use an episodic model, but I haven't seen it used for a tabletop roleplaying game. What inspired that unique publishing mechanic? And what do you think it adds to the experience?

Congrats on the strong showing for UYPPA! 👏👏👏

This was my first game and I loved it! 😁 Thanks for making my evening fun after a long day in the office. ❤️

I apologized so not biting
...surprised that the solution wasn't to sing "Dancing in the Moonlight"
About who wins: Probably the vampires if they bring their distant cousin the chupacabras
Interesting question... Discounting my patented Werepiñatas, I say a wereturtle sounds nice, no one expects the turtle

I would tranform into a Kodiak bear!!! Also, I ended up eating pizza after some werewolf brawls. Not a bad end to a subway ride.
On another note, what programming language did you learn, Geoffrey?
