That's the Spirit! Sept 1 Review Thread

Gonna make this a short one:

Pros:

- Getting to be a secretary of sorts in NPC camp when I wasn't up for roles was great
- Newbie mod and NPLing in general was a wonderful experience. Thanks to NPC camp for letting me help out
- shop time went wonderful and we have a little market starting up, even if it was all home-brew fun
-Colton's gambling NPC and the aptly dubbed "party ball". Good laughs.
- the boulder mechanic and the fact that the mine had gems all around the mod site

Cons:

- no fun with main plot. Working hard for an hour to deal with the ritual circle just to be told that a PC (most likely a visitor) took something in a previous game so we had to "suck it up" is just bad planning, and bad plot. Remember, plot writes the beginning and PC's write the ending.

In regards to the "cross-play" notes above, as someone who is non-binary I honestly don't feel comfortable playing "male" npcs because I get enough stress from gender issues in real life, I don't need a whole role where I'll be mis-gendered. But I agree that there aren't very good representations going out and we need to be more inclusive

Also, as an aside, I'm feeling quite a bit of internalized misogyny at Larp lately. Watching my male counterparts make progress while female bodied players work their butt off is bad for my self-motivation so I'm going to probably take next game off. I'll be back, just need to re-evaluate things.
