Tales of the Travellers Event Review

[Aeval]

This event was an absolute hit. 10/10. 

Pros:

• NPC's were super on point. From Alex Heintz' Carmen, to Britt's creepy fucking corner wild elf. Stellar job on everyone's part! I wanted to just keep interacting with all of you, and if I didn't have some business to clear up I probably would have just basked myself in alll the Npc's glory. Y'all were amazing. 
  
• Plot: While I generally try to not intrude on anything huge there was a good mix of small puzzles and things to do at even which kept you busy. There was never really a dull moment at game, which to me is fantastic. 
  
• Seeing old Pc's I thought were dead. (Jeff Barth) - I legit grinned from ear to ear, it is always a treat to see or interact with people that you've known from so long ago. My only regret is that I didn't talk to you enough.
  
• The Dark Sermon, thanks to everyone who showed up! Oog you all were lovely and participated! It really helped my anxiety XD and while the sermon may not have been the best, there are many more to come.
  
• The combat pits, while cold it was still a joy to watch them all. They were in a completely separate area and the main room didn't feel too crowded with everything.
  
• Brittany. Just everything about this woman never ceases to amaze me. I cannot stress enough how amazing your costuming and just everything was. I could have just sat with your creepy ass all night long trying to talk to you haha.
  
• Interactions that I had with Robyn's mystic - having some weird candle reading really brought out emotions. 
  
• All the new Raze followers! <3
  
• Borderline shady talks with Sevatar. 
  
• WINTER COURT FAE <3 - By far my favorite court. They are so lovely, terrifying, but lovely. Good job on Robyn for playing that role, as well as the terrifying Red Caps waiting for us in that fucking blizzard outside. It was nice for the room to be split - some people dealt with the combat while others tried to figure out the issue inside. 
  
• Seriously, I feel like I could go on forever. This event was bangin and only reassures me that this year is going to be just as amazing. Thank you so much for this event, to all your hard work put into this. I always get my money's worth and I look forward to shoving Aeval towards drunk aja, scary wild elven women, sassy bounty hunter guild leaders, and much more. <3
  

Cons:

• The Mage competitions. There is always a place for Mercs and Templars to fight it out with their weapons, but nothing really suited to mage's. We always either have to throw packets into a circle for some weird aiming contest or just at each other. There just never really seems to be anything for us in terms of combat, we only get intellectual puzzles - which is great! But when you are given some puzzle pieces and you have 20+ mages we all can't really participate.
