March 2010 Highlights

3)  The nice compliments I got as Osred, including Gideon's "important thing" he needed to tell me!  I almost ran back to being Blade

Gideon: "Osred, Osred!  I have something VERY important to tell you!"

Osred: (Looking like a trapped mouse about to get mauled by a bobcat) "What?"

Gideon: "Hello!" *Smile / Handshake*

SO well worth it.

Highlights:
- Meeting some really great new players and PCs
- Finally getting to spend time with some of my favorite people, especially certain players who haven't been to game in what feels like ages (yes I'm looking at YOU- Dan, Josh, Dani!  )
- Sage and Remi teaming up for Satyr Wine mischief. Between the invisible animal circus, and Orix faceplanting in the snow after chasing butterflies, I think I might've sprained a laugh muscle.
- Drunk bard lessons
- Actually, just RP with Sage in general. Tristan(Westley) totally rocks my world. "Remi, if this town is ever attacked by alcohol, you and I will be HEROS."  
- OMG FEAST. Diane, someday you're going to come home to find me sitting in your kitchen going "...dinner? "
- Faux-Janus mod Sunday morning
- Baptizing Ilona. Wonderful RP, from the first conversation up through the actual ceremony.
- GETTING ATTUNED TO THE FOCUS!!!  
- Not getting sick OOG this time, in spite of all the cold and wet and gross.
- NPCing Dragoon Mod Friday night- Bob, your taste in appropriately epic music is phenomenal.
- NPC shift part 2- Devil Mod- lots of fun, especially having sick Corrupted Templar stats. Also, hearing Colin McBane exclaim mid-fight: "Agh! I'm too old and fat for this!"

Lowlights:
- Hurry up and wait. (but hey, that's Travance for you.)
- so much cold and wet and gross!
- difficulty fighting in swampy snow.   Ew.

highlights no particular order
- talkin with the baron

- loved the terrain, only slipped once during npc shift

- first time getting wild shield, too bad it was useless until main mod, also elemental shield in the same event

- Brik saying sorry to me for the bad mouthing Enax thing... and me being stunned after hearing it

- tea party, very fun but we need more party games next time, kinda odd oog seeing a drow at a tea party but it was nice to actually talk with Cinder more, getting complamented by Slack for my mean letter to ilana

-going on the main mod far too high powered for my character but surviving on the front lines and not event falling
idk who: harvest you soul
me: magic resist (wytchwood shield)
idk: speed cast true aim harvest your soul
me: wild shield
anti rubious: incinerate
me: elemental shield, surge cast elemental shield
anti rubious: incinerate
me: elemental shield (falls back to wait for cool-down to recast buffs, and all this happened within five seconds of each other)
things i shouldnt have tried to use grovel on... anit-shalock. anti-tellingshasts, and anti-ardentfyre
meeting  Paladin 43

-druids that love emar

-playing the opposite of emar during npc shift (a mage with no melee ability) and not messing up the verbals as much as i though i would... too bad i almost gave an enemy a stoneskin at one point

lowlights
-expecting more people to yell at me for the previously mentioned letter (would have enjoyed the rp)
-lost on the way home, sry will and justin
-once my feet got wet the first time they would get wet a lot more often

more to come as i think of them

Great game, as usual.  I had a lot of fun.

Lowlights (I'll get these out of the way first):

-Mother Nature: You're a b*tch.  The terrain was muddy and treacherous and we're lucky that we didn't have any serious injuries.  I'll be so glad when we're back in PA, even if it means an extra hour's drive.

-No sleeping space.  It was great to see a huge turnout at the game, but it's another reason why I'll be glad when we're back in PA.

Okay, that's enough of that.  HIGHLIGHTS:

-Getting to NPC for the Dragoon Mod.  It looked really well done.  Now I know why there are so many Dragoons in Travance.  But now I know why sword & board is better than an unwieldy two handed weapon.

-RPing having the plague was exceptionally easy ... since I had a cough for the entire weekend.  About 60% of my coughing was not an act.  Still, seeing the differing reactions to the advent of a very real plague in town was very interesting.  I enjoyed trying to explain to the very afraid infected farmers what was going on.

-Staying up all night talking with cool people and then walking down to the lake to watch the sunrise ... though it was quickly overshadowed by the discovery of BIZARRO MAGNUS!!!!!

-BIZARRO MAGNUS!!!!!!

-Head-scritches for being a good patient ... better than a lollipop.

-Going on the Moss Mod and actually being.somewhat useful.  Getting whacked with the hallucination moss and fighting trees for a while.

-the g-g-g-gromobulous would've gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling townfolk ...

-sing-a-long with the town was a great way to pass time during hurry-up-and-wait.

-Main Mod was a lot of fun.  I like the way that main mod has been the past few times that I've been there with the lower level part and the higher level part.  I know when I first few times I went to KR, it was really dangerous to be a low level in the main mod.  In this mod, I actually felt useful and had fun fighting blobs and spiders.  Still don't know how Hamish, the McBanes, and I fell behind our group and some how ended up ahead of them on the path.  But it was hella fun.

-angst, angst, angst ... Mikhail was so worried that another Gypsy was going to die for Travance.

-Somehow, every problem comes back to the Khitans.  MING-NAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

-Watching Tobar teach Hamish how to insult ... using Gideon as a target.  That was just comical.

-The myriad and sundry conversations had with people, from trading small one liners to deeper discussions of what it means to be Gypsy (Tobar, I'm looking at you).  There are too many to name, but those are what makes this game so much fun.  Can't wait for the next one.

First off I thank everyone enough for making my return event as my PC so incredibly awesome.  Really, I can’t say when I last had such a blast RPing with so many talented people.

Highlights (in no particular order)

-Vampire Cow  & Vampire Cow 2: The Milking.  Moo!

-Not catching the plague until a zombie threw itself into the fire, totally despairing and then getting cheered up by Remi and spending the rest of the event in different levels of intoxication ^.^

-Playing a Wraith Spider during main mod.  I’m totally developing a spider fetish ;p

-Getting involved with Gypsies and Gypsy stuff, and the different levels of acceptance received.  I foresee very good RP in the future with this.

-Satyr Wine hi-jinx FTW

-The whole concept of using IG money for OOG food.  I food.

-Learning -everything- I set out to learn during this event and having some really great RP come from it.  “So what does it mean if Blade is entertaining for feast?”  “ahh…We’re all laughing?”

-Getting much more involved in the main plot than I intended and all the research and learning involved in that (+ getting to root around in the baronial library)

-Feast… mmm… good food + good entertainment.  I can get used to this.

-Intro mod, was really great to get the ball rolling with coming back into Travance after so long and provided a nice sense of foreboding for the rest of the event.

-Lots more that I can’t remember right now.

Lowlights
I need no lowlights, I had such a good time this weekend that anything bad that happened is -far- outweighed by the good.

See you all in May~

Dinnerdark. Best land ever.
