I don't remember if I have actually been organized enough to post reviews for the other events I've been to, but here goes I guess!
I had a ton of fun! I feel like I am reaching the point where I know enough people in (and out) of game to get by with talking to people and doing my own thing in character to make my own entertainment. I also didn't mind the weather - I was checking obsessively ahead of time and knew what to expect, and planned accordingly. Having two heated cabins to retreat to to warm up made it pretty easy to manage. I like the snow though.
-I really appreciated the set up that was done for this game - for those of us who went looking, there was a ton of stuff to be found just wandering around and hunting for it, and I had some great RP while out doing that. In general I had great RP with the other PCs I talked to or hung out with!
-This is extra great for someone like me who has been busy avoiding combat like the plague. I swear I will get a weapon rep before next game. Then I just need to afford armour in game and I'll be set ;p I had a great time (really) running and hiding from the big combats - skulking in shadows by the tree line, watching the big battle at the end of game and hoping it wouldn't come my way, for instance.
That said, I did have some issues:
-I could not for the life of me figure out why anything was happening (other than the general scarcity), and how/if anything related. I have no idea why there were fey, and no one else I asked seemed to have a good idea either (something something Aja?). I tried!
-We spend a lot of time waiting for our "insta" mod, because things got backed up pretty fast. Good that they were popular, though! But it was also confusing to try and put things together in game - whether it was all the same person, completely different people, people dressed the same, etc. I recognize in retrospect that there was probably more that we could have tried to do as PCs, but the earlier waiting made me feel less like the pay off would be worth it.
-The scarcity plot really stretched my suspension of disbelief. Maybe the context I got in game (about the Hellfire) was missing something? And while I appreciated being able to forage instead of hunt, there was really nothing to find in that regard that could make any real difference in terms of helping the community more broadly. More RM for me guess!
I agree with people who've said that the personal plots were really cool, especially where they engaged people beyond the characters directly involved, so definitely kudos for that!
