June 2015 Event Highlights!

Highlights: Everything.


Ok. Now for SOME details.
Zippeto. Great job. You told a story, you engaged people, and you kept the world feeling alive.

As I've said in many places, my favorite thing about this event was not being able to tell some of the NPCs from Alts. They were played so well, and didn't have that "NPC" feel. In particular, Big Tom, Charles, Hottie Nyad (sorry Sarah) and the Crusader were incredible, and I had a lot of fun interacting with them. Heck, I didn't know Sarah was an NPC until people said we were hunting her during main mod, and Matt's until I used "First Aid" on him and got a Body total that was... not reasonable.

Leslie - that conversation with you down in the valley was brilliant. I hope you didn't get frustrated that I had Caldor take a lot longer to figure out who you were than Jason did. Between religion, his trusting nature, and your character's nature, you had to fairly beat me over the head with it.

Sarah - you know how much I adored your character, and would love to keep RPing with her till Wife killed her for completely unrelated reasons.

I felt like there were a lot of things "going on" beyond the plot this moon, which makes me happy. I love side stories, side plots, and mods that give the world life.

Midnight mass was awesome as always. I had so much fun with the people there, and the NPCs added a nice flavor. I was thrilled to have Clytie add what she did to it.

I really enjoyed meeting the Pontiff.. Caldor started so nervous and respectful... but then remembered who he was and started speaking up as he saw needed. Crystal - your ability to RP emotion during that scene blew me away. I'm actually happy about the sale of the monastery... but... high priest? gaaaaaaaaa. Having said that I'm so excited to RP and work with the other High Priests to make the church of light greater than ever.

A special shout out to Bat Cooper. That private conversation was one of the highlights of my year, much like the one I had with Tari last year. There is something so amazing about a deep in character conversation that has nothing to do with tags, skills or abilities.

I had a wonderful time in kaladonia as always, and a great time interacting with everyone. Its sometimes really odd for me to play Caldor with Wife not there, as he is always nervous and worried about her when she's gone.

The joy of being dropped 4 times because things hit me with normal damage. I'm probably the only guy who prefers being hit with special attacks and tags.

Very happy to see the town push some levels of NON-violent resolution with bad guys.

I do adore having main mods that are not at the big "mod sites". I enjoy fighting and moving around the proper. I also do enjoy a main mod with multiple small battles, rather than one huge one.

I'm very proud of the kitchen crew for doing such a great job and keeping everything so very clean and organized and doing feast prep so efficiently given how short handed we were. I hope we can keep this up going forward.

I'm sure I had more, and I'll put it out there if and when I can.

OH WAIT!

Finally teaching someone SOMETHING. First time in.....what years??

Also- finally learning my students name- I honestly could not remember for the life of me. I hope you enjoyed the rp! And I look forward to more

What an event. I laughed, I cried, I raged, I puked.

Well, despite my best efforts I managed to be way too active in combat. Friday nights fights at the guard barracks left me more than tapped and tired. I really tried to have a simple no heavy RP, no heavy combat and failed miserably, but had a blast!

Fighting Matt Mar... (dude even after this long I still can't spell your name) "Magnus," as his NPC was awesome, he always plays up the combat and the damage, so even fighting something fight a ton of health, I still feel combat effective and enjoy the RP.

Going into a rage (again) and having PCs get in my way or touch me (again) and having to get wrangled by Aleister (again) was equal parts tiring hilarious and unbelievably fun. A+ Would angry Atrus fight with Aleister again, perhaps with less armor next time. Very fun combat RP, thank you Steve and Matt for all of that.

Saturday, various fights were fun. Just sitting and BSing with Ilana, George, Kate, and Adam aka "Nugget," was great. Nice down time with good RP and lighthearted discussions was a welcome change of pace.

Recalling tales of 1 big boot to the chest and 5 exploded goblins. That was awesome, would set off chain reaction of goblins exploding again.

Billiam RP throughout the event.

Teaching again! Combat lessons are a Go!

RP with Leslie's NPC was awesome, serial killer Galladelite who understands crises of faith... no wonder Atrus felt comfortable around her But seriously, wonderful and engaging role play.

Saturday discussion with Angelica and Cypher.

Bill as Grim. That scene was great man! The yelling back and forth, Atrus literally being beaten onto the ground, the feeling of two heavy hitters clashing and throwing their weight and strength around was sweet. The combat RP mixed with the everything else and the back and forth was just awesome. My only complaint is that the lesson and teaching didn't go on longer, A+ teaching and lesson. Cannot wait for more!

Main mod, aka the failure to avoid combat.
Sweet fight in the Inn, thank the gods for healers, and Berserker's Rage... oh wait people bumping into me... getting lit up by Matt D.
MB: "Alright we're gonna drag you inside"
Me: "drag away."
-proceeds to get drug across inn floor.
Angry Atrus was angry, stunned Atrus was super stunned.
Marybeth was very fun to RP with for the small bits we did.

Catching up with Crux/Matt D, waking him up just to hurt him more, waking him up again just to let him know he was going to die. Thank you Matt

Atrus' mini freak out over TZ's reversion. When I body blocked the PCs on the path, I was sure Sam was going to light me up too.

RP during that whole thing. Angeliana trying her best to handle Atrus, awesome moment, love the drama, it's the LARP version of "Days of Our Lives."

RP with Cyndra, and Rose is always fun.

RP with Swyft.

Finally going to sleep Saturday night after shenanigans in the Stump.

Sunday: Thank you NPCs for being generally awesome all around.

Where do I even start? I had a blast! (pun intended)

~ Tending to the Blackbird bar in Sebastien's absence. Oh the shit you learn while tending bar... haha

~ Setting up, helping Myers advertise for his high stakes poker game. Man if I knew what would happen later.

~ Being tasked with a special job and being super excited about a chance to demonstrate my art!

~ Bloody Stump silly times. Asking Big Tom a.k.a. Knuckle daddy to hurt me expecting him to refuse or argue, instead Demeanor got a great response of "How hard?" Oh joy! Being paralyzed with an ear to ear grin on her face. Franky's freak outs during said 5 minutes, Big Tom denying breaking her spine: "I just jostled it". Also making fun of Nalick and calling him "Dad" or "Daddy". (Sorry Jeff) :silly:

~ Leading a bunch of folks back to the Blackbird hoping to finally play this poker game to make some sweet amounts of gold... Until I was informed mid roulette that I'm sitting in a room full of main mod bosses. Wheee! Chris noticed Matt was missing so about 1 minute later, in walks Matt and BANG! 100 body superior slay, shoots me in the face. Poor little alt, bet her chips and her brains. Matt eating Demeanor's red eyes "Ooooh that's nice and different", Reece turning Demeanor into an undead pirate! Wooo best pirate.

~ My first focus walk on the receiving side. Mae did a fantastic job, made me realize I need to up my focus walk game as Angeliana. A+ rp, thank you for letting her through despite all she told you, I was fully expecting you not to. Also thanks for taking it like a champ when Demeanor yelled at you about someone owing her 120g.

~ Jumping out of the shadows to Achilles strike a ooze spider thing 5 minutes after being resurrected, "Resist", "OH BLOODY SHARKS NOT READY TO WALK THE PLANK AGAIN!" /bolt

~ A wonderfully entertaining lesson inside the guard barracks, made extra ironic and hilarious by the fact that Demeanor was surrounded by guards and in their building. Alex thanks for not freaking out about the RP, I tried to keep it light. Sorry you got rashes

~ Selling soap and don't bug me roll ons during Market Faire. Thank you all for supporting my hobby / addiction! Also, for keeping the score: Don't bug me roll: 1 Ticks: 0

~ Arch caster lesson #2 for Hazel, talks with Slyph pirate man, Andorran chat with Dominic "TELL HER!"
~ Every interaction with Peonas and Scout, including attuning them and Fauna to the Phokus. You are fabulous.

~ His holiness, being late to that meeting and getting short summary from Bat, then the united announcement / benediction at feast. High Priestess of Andorra? Super honor, Angeliana was very humbled.

~ Body checking Chuck's NPC while he was KB ing a newer player during main mod. Well... Angeliana doesn't hit people and no one else was close enough to stop him. That was a natural reaction to yell NO and bullrush you.

~ Freaking out during the chaos that was main mod. Until she figured out some spiders were undead. Battlecasting heals is just too awesome.

~ All of the post main mod RP with Atrus. Thanks for the roller coaster of emotions and fantastic RP John.

~ Miss Demeanor at the Alisandra state house. Parry lesson, popcorn, shenanigans... A+
~ 3 sneaky ladies roaming through the shadows to find an opposing crew's members. Could just be one of my favorite mods ever. Haze, thank you for RPing like a champion. Reece as well, I can't remember the third person's name. I'm sure Demeanor is going to get into a lot of trouble for what she did, but man she is too proud and cocky not to. Thank you also to Garett, who waited for me in the inn due to a miscommunication and still ran the mod for us and gave me a stellar opportunity to torture / torment multiple NPCs OMG my gypsy friends walking in pretending to be guards were priceless. A++ "This isn't guard business F.. off" , "Demeanor is that you???" "Oh... you guys... come watch my art!"

~ Drinking the Barrel of amazing wine we "collected" from said crew in the Blackbird. All the uuh deals.
~ Bullying Franky the Fish until he paid Demeanor some of the gold she lost to Myers then making a claim to Myers after we find him to keep him for "fun".

~ Florentine lesson form Boryev and Grimkjell. Awesome! Followed by one of the funniest Gypsy curses ever. "The gypsy King" had to apologize to Boryev every time he falsely claimed said title, so naturally Demeanor kept asking "I'm sorry who the F... are you again?" :lol: I legit counldn't stop laughing.

Thank you KR family for this fantastic weekend. I truly needed it, very nice to know I have friends and supporters who enjoy my weirdness / craziness. See you in July! Can't wait.
