This is a summary of part 6 of the Miracle Season game from Gencon this year. (Sorry it's so late. It's been an interesting couple weeks, I meant to get this up within a day or two of the part 5 summary. Oops!) A summary of part 5 is here.
Miracle Season is an ongoing game run at Gencon and possibly other cons (I don't know). If you hope/plan to play in it and are at all worried about spoilers, don't read this because it is quite detailed. A lot of it does not constitute spoilers. The joy of Miracle Season lies in the story, and that depends on both characters and the luck of the draw. But certain elements are consistent, else it wouldn't be an ongoing game where you could 'weave in' PCs who were in different sessions for earlier parts. And those elements will be spoilered if you read this.
Most of the fun isn't in "getting it right" though - it's in the tale of how you got there, how your stories wove into it, how you came to get it right (or wrong, for that matter). In that sense I'm not sure this game can be spoilered - that is, knowing the stuff still leaves you poised for fun. But yes, there's an "oo what's THAT?" factor that can be lost if you read past this sentence.
( And a summary. At length, naturally. And with great glee, because this game rocks. Or just 'cause I ramble on and on. Or both. )
