The Burning Wheel write up is great. I especially liked it when Josh offered me as the gift.
A couple of corrections though--
When we, the elves were watching the proceeding Dwarven tribes offer gifts to the Prince, in the very beginning before we even started, the Captain leaned into me, the Loremaster, and the Princess and asked, "Uh, do we have a gift?" I immediately said that objects would pale in comparison to offering to finding the crown that the Prince's father died trying to find. The Princess said she probably should've known about the plan beforehand (like in the year we spent getting to the dwarves) and I admitted my mistake. I never once told the Princess or the Captain that I had just plain forgotten the gift- the Princess honestly believed that I had a plan the whole time.
When I asked around about the Crown at the game of chance, and found out the crown had been found by the uncle, it sounded like there was suspicion about an old man strolling in with the crown, so the Captain and I wanted to confront him to see if there was anything illiicit going on-- at least offering information about some sort of treacherous uncle could help them overlook we didn't have a gift.
It wasn't until the end that I admitted to my team out of character that my character just forgot the gift.
