June 2010 Highlights

Good event, even if it was muggy as a dark alley...

Highlights:

• Looking for a person to go on a mod, and the sinking OOG realization that you can't find them because they are about to NPC on the mod and kick your ass...
• New Smithing system.  More points (more than Gideon has), but less time tied to the Forge.  Points can be fixed with time...
• The return of Ethan (and Judge)!

Going to fall into a humidity-induced coma now... I'll post more later.

-Kaledonia pot luck was delicious, thanks to everyone that contributed.

-Learning how to fight with something much bigger than the "Mighty Toothpick"

-Crazy accurate palm reading.

-Grape mod

An event of some ups and downs for me, but some notable good memories.

- Gypsy meeting.

- Dancing in the rain.  Noticing a palatable feeling of 'belonging' with other dirty and wet common folk. 

- Market Fair... fantastic products.

- Kaldonia potluck.  I ate very little at feast due to how full I was at the end of this.

- Many good conversations over hookah, including meeting of new faces in Travance.

- Being approached many times about teaching for edged combat and related skills... and then RPing through the teaching process.

- One eyed fencing Sunday morning.  Great matches that went until dehydration and exhaustion threatened.

As many folks know, I don't larp during the summer... the hot, muggy weather being the prime reason why.  However, much of it was worth it this event...

Fri Night
1. NPCing for Celt intro mod was fun.
2. Friday night lesson with Lethias about lycanthropes and were creatures was fun and informative.
3. Part 1 of the "Never Ending Grill of Meat" started with hot dogs and sausages.

Sat Day
1. Going to Market Fair and seeing the amount of food, clothes, and items for sale rivaling any "Black Friday" shopping extravaganza.
2. The very short Alisandria meeting and talking with possible newcomers.
3. Archery practice... I so need it.  :'(
4. Goblin Bakery... I so wanted to make a Soylent Green joke.
5. Part 2 of the "Never Ending Grill of Meat" continued with more sausages & hot dogs.

Sat Night
1. Main Mod and being teamed up with Jeff to play the 2-headed thing that won't die... OMFG.  
2. After "dying" as the 2 headed creature... almost throwing up from heat and seeing steam rise of my body.  ???
3. Part 3 of the "Never Ending Grill of Meat" finished up with hot dogs, sausages, prime rib, and filet mignon.

Sun Day
1. Realizing moving, breathing, and even thinking hurts... wow.
2. Finally getting up, only to go fight evil priests/clerics of Malyc as they invaded the Steakhouse.
3. Getting up to the Inn, and rushing out to fight big lizards.
3a. Apollo put it best... "Nature is attacking us.  We must fight back with fire."  

Many thanks to Jeff, Joe, MB, Ryan, Eric, Terry, Andy, Alex, Thom, Vince, Charna, Jackie, Emily, Rob, JR, Chris, Jen, and my fellow NPC's for a blast.  You all are the reason I come to KR... that, and I would be bored in NYC.  

3a. Apollo put it best... "Nature is attacking us.  We must kill it with fire."  

Fixed that for you.

Nothing like coming home to note that a few others have apparently come home too.  I only got to see them IC which was sad and hopefully correctable soon.

Going on Main Mod NPC to respawn 7 times for 1400 points total being kicked out of me with ALL correct strikes.  Not one hit in a "bad' area.  The shot to my elbow was a turn of bad timing and was technically as legal and correct as the others.  It just happened to land on elbow between bones and hit that OHHH so not funny bone.

Selling wares at market with a story on payment from a Milliner.

Taking to heart a need in the town and thinking long and hard ICly as an additional Career should be considered.  Opening the list realizing I actually have a really cool plan.  Getting a go for that plan from James with a Hmmm and a what kind...OH yes I can see that.


Curious...ha hope so.  Just wait.  I have too as it will take time to learn the right skills ICly.

Seeing more people I haven't caught up with in just a long time.  Finding out a KR player was there all this time because of another player I convinced to try it even when I had to leave.  It's always shocking to find out how much influence you have had on others.  and...

Lastly.  I found out that my reputation as being MOMish, fairminded and honest has remained.  Doing First Aid while wounded yourself is odd enough.  Rendering it giving you flashbacks over 6 years old was something else. 

The player who told me the tale of his coming to game nearly had me in tears...You know who you are and YES  you nearly had me in tears. 

The brunch at Dragomire was wonderful.  Thanks for the hospitality guys.  You rock.

Having a long IC conversation with Ming Na and seeing the KR version.  Wonderful RP and well missed from days gone by.

I just could go on and on....but I won't....

OH wait.  The honor combat.  Both Players Super KUdos on rules and common sense and...REAL honor in their treatment of each other even on the rules, heat, exhersion side.  BRAVO>
