KR 10th Anniversary Highlights!

One more thing - I pride myself on being able to sleep almost anywhere, but Saturday night when MaryBeth was looking for Tori, and found her sleeping (wrapped in warm blankies and such) under the table on the front porch of the Inn brought things into the proper perspective.   She insisted she wasn't sleeping, but MB insisted she was and we agreed.  After asking me please to mind my feet (which were close to Tori's head) MB moved on.

I normally refrain from posting here because other people cover what was fun at the event fairly well, but I just love H.P. Lovecraft too much not to say anything about an event that essentially mashed Innsmuth and R'lyeh into one fish filled concoction of ridiculousness. Those of you who decided this was the event to miss in the three events in six week series really missed out.  Those of you who worked really hard to pull this event off, my appreciation and thanks.

Im really glad I got to be a part of making this even if I had very little to do with the true nightmare, the logistics of the whole thing.  Nobody missed a beat, from the people that have been involved for ten years to the brand new players. You all put your best face forward and brought the world alive this time and it really paid off in my opinion, thank you. (It made me forget about having to buy a new car)

My event really began with the makeup job by Julia H. She endured my malformed nudity and lame jokes for some time to make me look like something I could really get into, thanks buddy.

The prep talk and idea swapping with Marybeth and Tori helped me realize what the dryad had been going through for the past couple of years and really put me in the zone. Thank you both.

The horn and the actual terror it created in me and the other players.

The way that people so seamlessly transitioned into their new characters and made the entire weekend take on an air of believeability.

The assistance I got in logistics about my first attempt at designing a mod really helped and I appreciate it. The results I feel were well recieved, despite the carnage.

The fact that it was a one time event created in my opinion much more realistic portrayals about what a person might do in a desperate situation. In Travance at a normal event the laws are so easily and harshly enforced that it stiffles roleplay from uncouth characters.

Im a fan of PvP but we all know how hard it is to prevent hurt feelings. It was well managed by the players this event and showed how PvP can make the game a lot of fun.

Awesome event, and its all thanks to everyone that was there.

Ok, quick highlights because if I go into my usual detail I will write way too much. To put it simply: This event was amazing, there needs to be more of them, and NPCing is a lot more fun then I anticipated.

-'Random Woodland Creatures' was a fun first half of the night. Druids= awesome people.

-Exploding Lizards was amusing but too many rocks around when kamikazing for glowsticks...

-Morning as ...Calamarii(?) was great. The unique make-up jobs Kristen did were amazing, period.

-Assassin Vine wasn't so bad, the OOG conversations of the origin of certain groups was entertaining.

-My random Goblin NPC working in the kitchen (Was funny how the kitchen was run by goblins this event...) and watching everyone beat the crap out of each other outside and deciding promptly the air inside was better  than outside.

-'Baby Calamarii' and scampering around gathering and handing off spears to everyone

-Final Mod chase and watching the sea battle afterwards

-Morning NPC's for Travance not as fun though playing the goblin rogues opressed  by the ogres was fun, greater elementals weren't so bad either.

I made a lot more friends and everything was set up rather well. Kudos to those who set up the event, and a good show to everyone who played their new characters with their own unique flair from the norm. It was experiemntal, and I'd say it was a huge success.  Can't wait to see everyone in May!

This was my second event, and simply put it was amazing! The entire weekend was a lot of fun and it is going to be hard to narrow things down into a reasonably sized list, but I'll try.  Here goes:

Overall
1.) Actually playing a character that could fight  (and trying to stifle the urges to run away from things)
2.) Getting to know so many of the wonderful people attending, both players that have been coming forever and have so much experience, and the few new and inexperienced players like me. Everyone helped make this event so enjoyable and outstanding.

Fri
1.) Being abandoned in the woods by our leader and told to find shelter, only to be the first group (there were five of us) to get to the inn and having to fight all the random creatures by ourselves.
2.) The ridiculous fight in the woods at night where instead of being a healer, I got to protect them from harm.

Sat
1.) Random walks through the woods with Sonya and Elias with most ending up with either fighting for our lives, or running away from huge groups of monsters
2.) All the KITE interactions which included: the dryad casting gust so the kite could fly, getting crucial information out of the dryad because he liked Sonya's kite, an air elemental flying the kite for about five minutes, and Brendan as an NPC who challenged Sonya to a "Kite Off"
3.) Liz Hill (as a goblin) singing "It's beginning to look a lot like fish-man, everywhere we go" , Rob "For the love of God stop that!"
4.) Main mod and all the fishy excellence that came with it

Sun
1.) reverting back to Travance and enjoying an elemental fight as Cael sitting on the porch drinking wine and eating rock candy, protected by elemental shields, and just watching as Dr. West screams, "Wait I'm a water mage!" and then runs after the fire elemental hands waving, full of spell packets, screaming, "Come back here I can kill you!"
2.) The great, and sometimes comical, teaching lessons with Alia (she taught me math!)

There were so many wonderful things about this weekend that i could just keep going, but I think I have maybe written too much as it is. : ) I would just like to say one last thing: Thank You to everyone that made this event so enjoyable for me and I hope to see you all at the next event.

Even though I haven't been here that long, this event was definitely refreshing. Playing a different PC was a good experience.

First shot of the event (as an archer), *shoots wally in the eye* Sorry wally... >.<
So DARK, my night vision sucked and was made worse by bright lights.
BUT it was still cool, so its all good 
*stealth MB and Tori* Scared the life out of me at first cause i thought something was going to jump out and kill us >.< lol
Protect the crystal! *creepy and scary fish people sounds coming from the darkness of the forest* Again, those sounds added to the fact that the dark creepy forest freaked me out a bit >.< was so good for RP though which is good 

Druid!

Saturday morning was interesting with the wolves, gargoyles, rats and other creatures attacked us while we were making and eating breakfast. *grabs a strip of bacon, stuffs it in my mouth, gulps, shoots and arrow for 11 damage*
So hard to shoot an arrow at a moving target in a forest with alot of branches, bushes, and trees and they keep going behind the trees >.<
An orc and a goblin give me a magic bow  never got a cool item before, coool 13 damage 26 crit.
Saturday afternoon target practice with the sailors

hmmm...for some reason I cant think of anything else at the moment....could be the time or something. Overall, and i'll probably think of more later, this event was really awesome, plot was interesting and cool.
