Again, I am going to go for Smee's story here. He broke the mold by having wide ranging and open DPs, including battle tactics and how to attack certain positions.

Whilst the others have been good, Glass hasn't been going long enough really, and Uncertain Quests has been a little more linear for most of the tale, though the last few have improved.

Well done all in any case.

I agree that Time Before has the best decision points, and don't think the other two actually come within the same league in this charagory.

Time Before gets my vote. I nominated it, I stick by that. The DPs aren't only open enough to get lots of conversation going - they're flexible enough to change the whole storyline for the character involved.

Can't ask more than that :)

Not only does TTB have very intuative and open decision points, but having the double narrative also means we consider the implications of our decisions from both points of view, and this is a very intriguing way of doing it. Great job Smee! :biggrin:

Ditto everyone else. The other two stories have potential, but TTB has established itself well with its decision points.
