Sachmo, this is my first post on this thread. Your work deserves a six star rating (on a scale from one to five).
I think the turn report is the 'meat and potatoes' of your story, I for one want to know how things are moving along for the Remorhaz people. That being said, a few background Posts now and then liven up the story. So I guess I like both kinds, but I'd like the reports to be more than half of the story.
