Event Review - Worse things Happen at Sea

[Michelle]

Lots of bad rule calls made, for example no PC in ralinwood is killing blow active at the moment, as per the rulebook, but I saw many of those come out. (See page 16 of Rulebook 5.4.4, Killing Blow Delivery, Last Sentence)

To clarify this rule, players aren't killing blow active for NPCs until level 5, but they are always killing blow active to other PCs, so as long as it was a player kill it's okay. None of our NPCs were delivering killing blows to my knowledge. If you did see an NPC killing blow someone or if it happened to you please shoot me an email.

Humorous aside: Someone literally took their phone out and started texting while sitting in front of the skein gate during the puzzle mod. I don't know what kind of infernal demon doing that will summon, but damn it I want to see it.

Oh nononono...looks like Myra is going to have to explain to everyone what the Grim is...and how it feels to be killed by it. One pro to remembering a death?

I signed up last minute to NPC, and I had a blast doing it!!

- My favourite crunchie to play was the Murkers. Mmmmrrrggllll!!

- Having the town approach the Shak'tar for the first time and announce they were conquering this land, and trying to take one of us prisoner.

- Trading supplies for food. I would've eaten more of the pasta, but OOC I would've felt bad about eating someones lunch.

- Having such a great time with others at NPC camp that I decided to stay on for the season!


The only con was having such limited supplies. It was a first game, so I'm sure this will be rectified before the next event.

After playing in Jericho for 3 years I have to say Ralinwood was a welcoming and happy place!! I think the Ralinwood staff did their homework and executed an amazing game. I have never had so much fun in all my years of larping! Thank you very very much!

Pros:
+ Everything! The PC costuming was amazing and the RP between players was ideal. I loved the PvP craziness.
+ NPCs -- you guys did an amazing job!! Loved the RP with the Gremel -- "Slick: Do you have trade? Me: Uh... Water?? Slick: Food? Me: Hold still *draws portrait* Slick: Oh you have immortalized me as great female warrior! OMG SO AWESOME.
+ Site -- I love the space and the fact that site is only an hour away from home.
+ Ludvic - yes I made you the Town Crier as a off the cuff but it worked.
+ Shapers - great plot and flow for the time... It went by so quick with little waiting time. No hurry up and wait! Much appreciated.

Cons:
- I agree that the stumps can be a tripping hazard but with time I know we will all learn what we can and cannot do/move on the site.
- Lawnmower

I cannot thank you all enough for such an awesome game. I have a conflict in my schedule for the next event but I know now that I will have to be at game and cancel the other engagement.

So different. I was more afraid of the pc's this time rather then the npc's. You guys really did an awesome job organizing, planning, plotting, phys repping, more planning and plotting and finally executing!

Pro's
- Playing with all you guys!!
- I had so much fun rping with everyone. My stomach has a 6 pack from so much laughter. Really, it's there. You just can't see it.
- I really enjoyed the smooth plot. Everything seemed to just be in front of everywhere I went.
- I love the tavern. Although I can't eat in it right now, I look forward to enjoying the tasty meals soon.
- Although I enjoyed everyone I encountered there are a few I need to point out, Leon, WHAT? Moon, love! Levi, Lude, Witch, Elfie, Unremarkable.
- I loved the last mod. It got everyone involved. And the last Golem was soo happy, to be killing and swinging and mushing players!
- Merchant Kitty. This is a great idea to always have around.
- I was so happy to be working with new faces and to be organizing our dinner right from the get go. Everyone was so nice and willing to help.
- The site was beautiful.

Con's
- Games called...sheesh.

This past game was good shit.

+ A new beginning, where everybody is equally capable of controlling the story.
+ A very nice site, complete with hills and firepits. Lots of places to be all wild elf-ey.
+ 3 Massive-swingin' golem was played really well and kept everybody on their toes. Dude was a true juggernaut without making it cheesy.
+ Had my first death trying to play hero! I learned a lesson I never learned in Jericho.
+ Well on my way to playing the character I intended and filling the role I intended.

- Gripes with my own character and his speech impediments.
- Lost two props in-game.
