Braak the Briton (Redux Edition)

First off, I loved the humour in this storygame. The description for the Detox Potion was hilarious ("This will be handy when attending a Frat Party.") and I love puns so naturally "If you want to look at the vases, you got to urn that privilege." actually made me chuckle out loud a little.

I enjoyed the unexpected endings. Lighting an entire town on fire and killing the princess in the process earns you the title of Prince; this was something that caught me off guard and was a pleasant change from the majority of storygames here (where the unexpected consequences are always negative). The way you portrayed the city made me feel like I was there. I also loved how there were multiple ways to achieve your end goal.

There's not much wrong with this - it's humorous, detailed, fun to play, but it's missing the emotional depth of some other stories on this site. The characters are not developed and it's more of a light-hearted read than a serious story. I wouldn't rate this one of the best storygames on the site but it was certainly entertaining.

I remember loving this story when I was younger but it definitely isn't quite as I remember. For one thing, the writing isn't of a particularly high quality. It's not poor but it's definitely nothing to note. Additionally, lots of it felt contrived and sometimes the author contradicts himself. The tavern is meant to be Roman-free (this information is given) but yet, every second option there gets you killed by Roman soldiers. The advanced editor features were not used to their maximum capability and they were often more present than they needed to be; a little ingenuity could have hidden them from sight while still maintaining their function. That being said, Braak isn't bad, it's just not special.

Redstorm has utilised his array of writing skills to really bring Roman Britannia to life. Its great to see a fairly historically correct version of Post-Roman invasion portrayed so well. There were a few historical inconsistencies but nothing truly glaring. I wasn't completely in tune with your writing style but I commend you for working well with a difficult setting. 6/8

It was funny. Good light-hearted entertainment

It's actually quite fun to play, and the quick way to end the game is to find where General's wine is hidden, tell him the location, and you get away with the Princess without even killing anyone. cool! :)

LOL, all the whores were bitchy ones. I WANTED TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I CHOSE A SWEET ONE... I cry.

Very nice story with good humour.just wish it was a bit longer

Enjoyed.

Definitely one of the best games I have played in a long time.

It was alright. You swtiched point of view too often though within paragraphs. Without that the writing would have been better. Other than that is was a fairly interesting ten minute ride
