Once again I had a great time!
I don't think I have a lot to add that hasn't been said already, though.
-The pacing was really great, and everything tied together well. I know I missed a lot of things but I still at least understood the general thrust of what was happening. And we ended pretty much right on time!
-I though that giving the town a chance to be proactive by having us try and set up an ambush was really great! A lot of the time things can feel very reactionary, just from the nature of the game, so it was a cool way to set that up.
--On the other hand, we are really *bad* at ambushes. Zia should not need to be chasing orcs and trolls :p I probably should not have survived that :p
-I know this was not in Shaper hands, but the weather was so perfect! I loved just being able to sit out and have tea and conversations. I actually even got a minor sunburn :o
-RP in general was really great! Eventually I/Zia will learn and remember more people's names reliably, but I always enjoy chatting with folks.
-Makeup and costuming on NPCs was really stellar.
-I do have to agree with the people who have mentioned being frustrated about the spider-fae-whatever from Maximuss henge yelling at us to go find the witch, and then all of town tiring themselves out in a fruitless search. By the time it was clear that something really was happening on that front (which had nothing to do with people's search efforts), it was hard to motivate people to actually get moving because they were tired from tromping all around the site. It is possible that we missed something, I will grant, but if we missed it, we *really* missed it. In the end it just felt like they looked really cool (they looked so cool!), but I'm not sure what else we really got out of that encounter.
Overall a great event though!
