Hi! I just wanted to share with whatever Jmods/developers involved that The Needle Skips is such an amazing quest.

We tell stories on our discord server and wanted to try something a little different, so I did a playthrough of the quest and had everyone else do all of the guesswork while I simply moved the character for them. Needless to say, it went over REALLY well!

You should have heard the very audible gasps when we found Primrose on the floor, everyone thought she had died until further inspection. Everyone lost their minds at the "That was when I saw the knife in her hand" - there was a general consensus that Joss is an incredible loser (that's putting it lightly) - and oh my god did they love the imaginary friends (Baba especially). Once we found the note from Gail, everyone lost their minds again upon realizing just who she was. And wow did they hate Megan and her choices...

From one of the participants: "Megan is really out here blaming demons FOR HER OWN DAMN MESS"

It was so good that they were discussing the story the next day, everyone wants to keep doing even more group playthroughs - So I just wanted to share our appreciation for such amazing effort that clearly went into this content, we thoroughly enjoyed it and will likely play it through a few more times for those who didn't make it...

(One suggestion is I wish I could wipe out my progress on the words entered, this way we could replay the quest properly and relive the dialogue and the surprise of finding words)

Next stop for us is One Piercing Note, Broken Home, or Song From the Depths!

What a lovely surprise to be lurking and then spot this. Thank you so much for the lovely comments, and what a cracking way to play the quest.

I wrote it when my daughter was particularly ill in hospital, and in hindsight I think that came out in Primrose.

Mod Raven did such a great job of turning the writing into a working quest. I’m sure he would have loved to put in replayability and a few other gameplay tweaks, but it’s a minor miracle that he got Her Story in to RuneScape at all.

Thank you so much again. Made my day.
