As you'd expect it was a bit rough to start with but things got smoother and more exciting over time. The RP is running a couple of months ahead of the story, so there's some good stuff coming up where the spirits of the air temple put one of the PCs through a series of (illusionary) tests of character, and the other PCs played each other's characters (we have a few each) to give everything that 'slightly off' vibe. Like the old Wraith RP, but less likely to induce player homicide.
