Before werewolf starts, I'm just curious on feedback concerning Spyfall 11. It was my first time hosting spyfall, so let me know of any concerns, criticisms, improvements, etc. A few things I'm curious about:

Have you played Town of Salem before?
If not, were you sufficiently prepared for your role?
Were you confused with the combination of the games?
Did the rules explain everything you needed to know?
Were you satisfied with the response times of your host?
Was my small strategy post helpful?
What things do you think I could do differently?
Should future themes be simpler/more broad?

Have you played Town of Salem before?

Yes a few times

If not, were you sufficiently prepared for your role?

Yes

Were you confused with the combination of the games?

No

Did the rules explain everything you needed to know?

Yes

Were you satisfied with the response times of your host?

Yes

Was my small strategy post helpful?

I didn't really know what to ask even still, but I think it was useful yes

What things do you think I could do differently?

Nothing really you were great

Should future themes be simpler/more broad?

I'd say more broad...or harder at least. I fell the game went so quickly.

Actually I was worried they would figure out who the spy was too quickly because ToS has a role list, which they can use to narrow down suspects.

Have you played Town of Salem before?
Yep

If not, were you sufficiently prepared for your role?
N/A

Were you confused with the combination of the games?
Nope

Did the rules explain everything you needed to know?
Yep

Were you satisfied with the response times of your host?
Yep

Yep

What things do you think I could do differently?
Not sure as I thought it went just fine. Maybe if new players are having trouble coming up with questions, even simply encouraging them to just Google "questions to ask in Spyfall" could help as that's where I get a lot of inspiration.

Should future themes be simpler/more broad?
I prefer the more difficult themes like this one. I don't think we've had a game where the spy didn't win, but I was certain we were gonna win in this one (even though our accusation was incorrect...). But the simple ones are always fun, too.

Yeah once I was pretty sure of the location I was gonna keep the game going for a bit. But I was worried with the suspicion on me that it would be easy to rule it down using that train of thought.

Yes
If not, were you sufficiently prepared for your role?
I felt prepared and unsure of whether Coven expansion roles would be used or not.
Were you confused with the combination of the games?
Nope
Did the rules explain everything you needed to know?
Yeah
Were you satisfied with the response times of your host?
Yeah

I didn't really pay that much attention to it tbh but I am sure it helped other players.  I do often spend hours thinking about questions to ask but I have not really had to strain that much when thinking about questions to ask in any of the Spyfall games I have played so far.
What things do you think I could do differently?
You did fine there.  It could have been more interesting if you had put in Coven expansion roles but that is not a big deal.
Should future themes be simpler/more broad?
I am fine either way.  I have had ideas for both simple and broad themes so it doesn't matter too much to me as long as there is an explanation of the theme at some point (if necessary), especially if all of the players are unfamiliar with the theme.
