August 2012 Highlights!

Oh, this event.

Got some REALLY good rp for Tris! Her first totem meditation was epic success, and gave me a lot of great ideas for her future. >]
Met a new satyr in town, and got to help show her around... then write war poetry? It made for a fun night.
NPC shift at main mod went really well, even though we ambushed more npc's trying to get into place than we did pc's for a while there...
And, of course, Vince's shadow creature was one of the funniest things I've seen in a while. All in all, great event!

Highlights

Friday night
- coming ingame with my huge turkey leg prop. OM NOM NOM.
- sleeping in Pendarvin with a tent of high levels.
- some great RP moments for Brunner, most notably with the satyrs.

Saturday morning
- munching on first breakfast
- paperwork, was EPIC FALL GOBLIN, having several players worried OOG about me (Safe falls for me OOG)
- History with Amizar, along with generally hanging out at the inn saturday.
- Shadow creature, and me winning and getting a +1 soak!
- getting my shield and making a wytchwood shield.
- Jalepeno hotbread at 1 AM and getting MASSIVELY tipped for it.
- The only shields around were coffin shields....gah!
- The assassin mod after main mod. 2 in the morning at the crows nest. I couldn't see 3 feet in front of me. Also....BREAK LIMB.

Sunday - Food, then the immense mess of people that was the Black crows assassin mod.

Also, a big sorry to the bard whom I was going to teach elemental to. I kinda ended up sidetracked by the black crow mod.
- Finally, Thank you Charlie.

I had a number of highlights from my first game!

First off, thank you to everyone who took a moment to explain things to me. Especially the poor NPC Johnny who kept trying to sell a better "Lifestyle" and I kept not understanding *at all* what he was trying to imply. (I kept asking to "see" what he was selling. Then he did some crazy math with gems, the value of which I implicitly believed him about, leaving me with just enough to afford alcohol. Good man.)

I loved Friday night hanging with Nenya/Alexander/Utrid and being the responsible one while waiting for the cyclops, and writing limericks with Tris and Orie. Plus, Satyr wine + hookah = best bard lesson EVER. Thanks Remi!

Saturday I had a chance to play a deep RP role and discovered my ability to sob real tears on command. Sorry to all the people I got wet and bloody - Frank did a *phenomenal* job on my make-up. I couldn't even look at my own bloody stump.

I enjoyed playing recorder with a fellow player on Saturday night even if we weren't in tune - and I promise everyone I'll practice between games so it'll sound better next time.

And my favorite part of all might have been the will-o-wisp, which raided the Alisandria camp for newbies. Utrid tried to convince (berate/curse at /plead with/insult) us to come back to the "safety" of the camp - all while he was barefoot because his shoes were still drying out by the fire. Then of course the will-o-wisp disappeared and we had to face the reality that Utrid was *right* and we had to thank him for not letting us get killed. Hilarious.

Thanks for the amazing time!

Yay fake blood!!! You did such an amazing job!

First off, a big round of applause for Mike Smith . One of the best main mods I've ever been on., hands down.

Now, for highlights!
Getting to main mod about 35 minutes before everyone else, holding a divine sanctuary for twenty of them, then nearly bleeding out for a 20 minute death count thanks to mass, and just barely surviving. Absolutely epic RP with James Jones as his Galmachian, especially for James: "You're very brave." Remi: "I am a Priestess and a Witch Hunter. Bravery is not a choice."
Then, Main Mod. Getting dropped into crit something like four times thanks to all the Grant Deaths being thrown around. Getting told to stay behind with the healers and responding, "I'm sorry. I can't. Bardics work in the circle and I still have bardic potential left. I need to be out there helping. I know it's dangerous, I know I'm probably going to die. But I can't just stay here and do nothing."
I still can't believe that Main Mod didn't kill me. Thank you to everyone who made sure Remi got up and stayed up!

So speaking of Witchhunter! A big thank you to Drew Benton and Cooper for a lot of really great roleplay, in particular my actual lesson- Kiellor and Seamus are just totally badass, that's all there is to it. And Remi's starting to get there too- slowly, but surely. Though apparently I need "more sass."

Other fantastic RP moments include: dealing with the Orfin drama Friday night, teaching Ginny bardics, RPing with the Gaian woman NPC on Saturday, Meg C you did a fantastic job. Of course, clergy antics were wonderful, and our first council meeting went pretty well considering how many times it was postponed. Mass, also, was fantastic.

All in all, marvelous weekend. Thanks everyone for making it awesome!!
