Oh you said a lot more than that, and the poor guy started trying to write it all down. 

Jenna lending me her spare boots!

Highlight: My spare boots fit Gus. Lol.

You are a wee little man, my Londwynian friend.

I don't even know where to start.  That's a good sign, though.

New Player Mod was great.  The bandits were good sports and did a good job of getting everyone warmed up for the inn.  The weather, however, did not help at all with the warming up.

I walked into the inn with 4 silver (I had a pretty terrible draw for starting cash apparently).  I learned I can only pull "I'm new and have nae a nugget to my name" so many times before the bar starts charging for drink.  Four times, actually.  Even afterwards I talked whoever was tending bar down from one gold to a silver or two.  In the end, I spent every coin I had on ale.

There were celts everywhere.  I just about got overloaded on tartans and clans and badges.  It was amazing and extremely encouraging.

I met yet another celt, along with his elven companion, at breakfast and wound up spending a decent chunk of the weekend somewhere near them.  They did an excellent job of slowly introducing a new player to the game.  I'm terrible with names, so I've forgotten their characters' already, but thanks to Kyle and Chelsea (sp?).

Gingerbread and Cider at market faire were outstanding.

NPCing was enough fun that I came back for a second helping, and man am I glad that I did.  Main Mod was a blast to fight and to watch (from within).  The the PCs' reactions to what was going on around them... It was great to know I'd helped provide you guys with that kind of drive, even if I was just a goblin.

I really wish Elementals and Goblins wore sporrans...  So many arrows...

I was fairly sure that Aoire wasn't going to wind up in combat this weekend.  He's just a shepherd.  Aside from the free Brawling skill, he doesn't have a lick of combat on his card.  I didn't even bring brawlers with me (Thanks to Ben for the loan).  Interactions with the Celts all weekend made him feel pretty rotten about missing the rest of the fights.  By Sunday afternoon he was charging at a group of ogres barefisted.  A large part of it was watching the friends he'd made in the last 48 hours all going into combat without him.  Over and over and over again.

- Learned that Celt sheepherders need to carry more shirts

Aoire's going to miss those shirts...

Does anyone know if there will be pictures up from the last event? I don't know how long it normally takes but I was just wondering.

November Event Pictures will be up soon. December Event Pictures will likely be posted within a week after the January Event. Basically I receive the raw photos from the photographer each following event.
