I ran this again a little while ago and it's still a wonderful time. We almost played in real time, but we ran an hour late for an hour-long game, so anyone attempting that needs either an organized group that can get all the prep done in advanced, or like an hour window for set up.
I repeated the multiple shifter types modification. The game wound up really silly and surreal instead of dramatic, but it was fun for the players involved. This time around we managed a scattered start, simulating adding characters to the chat and sending various attachments-- although I did still prep and share a whole bunch of tiger memes for the weretiger main shifter. The falling asleep distraction I played out was fully method.
We are planning to play the cast on a camping trip using another Indie favorite of mine, Campfire Memories. If I run this game a third time, I will actually attempt getting a side chat mechanic set up.
