This was my first Highwinter, so I wasn't 100% sure what to expect, but I had a really great time! I am proud of myself for gauging clothing needs appropriately! Thank you to everyone who help put on the event. As others have said, the props and costuming were really fantastic - I was especially impressed to see how all the parts we collected actually came together in the final device that was created.
Other Pros involved getting to meet and talk to lots of new people in game, being able to mostly keep up with the plot as things were happening, not needing to get into combat but still feeling relatively useful, and of course the general interest and reaction to my public reading of 50 Scales of Grey. I hope it becomes a treasured part of the Ralinwood library ;p
I think I was over all a fan of everyone being stuck together in town center and the tavern for the most part, as I think I had a better chance to meet and interact with a lot more people that way than I might have otherwise. I think it did contribute at times to the feeling like there wasn't much we could do, especially towards the end when the pacing felt like it slowed down, but I think that's been mentioned enough, and I just tried to use the time for more roleplaying (yay!)
Any real cons are mostly on a personal level, and come down to things like my inability to remember names/put them to faces reliably in and out of game, and feeling like socially awkward penguin out of game.
