[Ganakagok] For the Heart of Pulinuk

Our play group has this neat thing where we have a reoccuring character in all of our games. In our first game her name was Pauline. We're drawn to include her story to story whenever we need a characters vying over the attention of a girl.

Despite not adding Pulinuk to any of our Loves or Hates she still got thrown into the mix and Tantaraq's son was infatuated with her and she was married to Akuqanak. Our most exciting scenes always included her. Here are the characters from that game.

These are great characters! I hope they produced a fabulous story . . . and I'm interested in how you handled the metaplot: by the book or some other way.

We went around twice. The story was good but not focused enough. They liked the game but wanted another try at it because something fell flat.
