So, this was my first UW all hallows which did not involve H1N1, so right off the bat +100 points!
So, good times this event. I'm glad I spent most of the time NPCing however. My character is pretty inaccessible from an RP perspective in hindsight, and I get nervous as heck meeting new people. Being in character as a weird-ass half-orc, while trying to get to know you guys was kinda nerve wracking.
Being at camp was better though, the staff is super helpful, super accommodating, yelp review 5/5.
In game was a bit slow, but that's my own fault. In game feuds with some characters made it difficult to go on mods, but that's my own fault. It's also new to me to see player-characters who are so straight up fucking evil! It's a new environment for me, that's for sure.
My biggest highlights were Friday nights dungeon crawl from the NPC side. I love a good line battle, and it was a lot of fun trying to kill you all.
After that, it was the wedding.
So, in almost every larp I've played in I've both delivered a baby, and presided over a wedding. I was determined to play a different sort of character this time around, but, lo and behold, I jump at the chance.
But honestly, tons of fun on my end. I don't want to go into too much detail, as it was a huge limelight (ha!) Moment for my PC, and I can't imagine it was much fun sitting around in the cold watching other people have all the fun.
Also, being able to rock out courtly diplomacy against an undead-noble-banshee easily fulfilled one of my character goals.
The third and final most favourite memory, was taking on the pumpkin patch. Running and grabbing the Jarl (forget the character name) sheild, and giving him cover to heavy hit once we both got into the fight. That was pretty epic on my end. I fucking love line battles.
The cons I had were almost entirely social, over coming some awkwardness in being the new guy. I might start a new character, one that doesn't make everyone say "Now you're mistaken, there are no such things as half orcs." after every introduction, but is distracting, cumbersome, and entirely my own fault.
Regardless! See you all next event, I had a blast.
