January Highlights

I'll kick it off

Highlights:
1) Was great to walk in before game-on and get friendly greetings from so many people. I'm still relatively new to KR and its nice that I'm becoming part of the game's community after so many years removed from larping
2) Poker Table crew - Spend my money well. Great in game fun with you all
3) "I'll bet you a gold that you can't break my arm" Ogre breaks his limb. "OW!!! I didn't think you could do that!! Healer!!!.....I bet you a gold you can't do that again." Ogre reaches towards him. "Wait wait...."
4) Fun chat with Charlie before lay-on
5) Meeting new people that I've not yet met in game and having them say they've heard of me.
6) Getting to finally connect with Magnus after his return from the dead and do him a favor. He was the first person I met in game, and he gave me a rather nice magical starter sword, which I planned to do something nice with after learning of his perm death. It was a rather nice ig moment when he said he lost most of his things and I gave his sword back to him
7) Going on a low level module and not feeling low level
Getting asked to go on mods or people discussing the goings-on with me. That's a milestone to any new player to a larp
9) 5 Dwarven Smiths in game at the event (though not at the same time) and I was introducing some of them to eachother as some had never met the others.
10) More people coming to me (in and oog) about my leatherwork
11) James. Not much more can be said, but you make it easy to love KR

Lowlights
1) Having to leave early....again (work and kids > larping)
2) The cold (how original).
3) Losing 20 gold at poker (but hey, I was still up for the day!!). I would never have gone all-in with that hand had I not had to bail
4) Seeing all the smithing people wanted me to do for them, and even a mod I could have gone on that I had to miss b/c I had to leave

Thanks all. Ciya in Feb!

Well, being this was my very first LARP ever

Highlights:

-The energy.  Before lay on, everyone was so perky and even at night there was still combat happening
-Being a gypsy. It was much more interesting after I learned to heal
-Is it sad that I got a kick out of preparing for and serving at the feast?
-Singing at the feast, definitely
-Meeting all the new people.  Again, my first LARP. meeting everyone was interesting
-All of my gypsy kin! So colorful and energetic, I felt immediately at home

Truthfully, I loved practically everything.  I couldn't possibly list them all 

Lowlights:

-Well, the cold itself didn't bother me horribly.  What bothered me was that cloaks are very hindering to travel, and is a result of it being cold
-For the first day and a half of this gathering, I could not fight or heal; I was useless
-I needed more jingles!  I was a gyspy with a severe lack of jingles!

First event of the new year of 2010.  Ah, returning to Camp Sac...

Highlights
1. Seeing old friends and faces again was awesome, as well as seeing a lot of new faces.
2. Finding a bed last minute.
3. Catching up IG with people and learning all the stuff that happened while I was not playing.  Magnus' Death and Re-birth (which I hope doesn't play out like eva: death & rebirth).  Witch Hunter Hunters.  The grand change of who's in charge of which lands.
4. Helping fight an anti-paladin and soul harvesters, & NOT being useless (saved Magnus from 2 harvestings.)
5. Fighting Trolls and bringing "The Fire".
6. NPC: "How many parry's do you have?"
   Me: "4"
   NPC: "4?!?!?!"
It's not about how hard you can hit... it's about how hard you can get hit and keep going. - Rocky Balboa  
7. Me: "I don't understand why people keep thinking I'm Khitanese."
   Cameron: "Yeah... you're not light enough."
   Me: "I thought I wasn't dark enough."
Cameron & I both start to laugh and lose all control.
8. Helping a new player find Totem Pole Hill... sometimes playing tour guide and going for a walk in the woods can be fun in itself.
9. Being an NPC Suicide Bomber and exploding 4 bombs before dying... only thing missing was my crying out my god's name before being vaporized.
10. NPCing as an evil Cleric and letting the townpeople pwn the hell out of me.  Seeing other people get to play hero and feel good as they kick my butt gives me a warm feeling (even though I was frozen to ice through and through).
11. Mummy mod and finally being an effective archer/ranged attacker.  Shooting Posi rocks.. but it now burns when I shoot.  

Lowlights
1. The cold!  I wore a ton of layers, but was still freezing.  Why?
2. Attempting to shower Sunday morning with no hot water.   :'(
3. Not getting enough food at Feast.

It was a great event to come back to and I hope to make more winter events.
