Event Review - Under Their Thumb (June 2018)

[Zia Sashana]

This was another great event for me - better than last because I didn't sleep a whole day away!

Pros/highlights:
-4AM cabin chats because we're all awake for Reasons <3
-Friday night NPC shift is always a great time! I had a blast playing shattered elf for the first time and being on the wrong side of the ritual, and I loved being able to bring back my Ajaunti from the Tavern night as well
-Textile arts guild! Teaching Carrion to knit, making offers to others as well that I will hopefully get to follow through with in the future
-I FINISHED MY SOCKS
-Saturday mods I got to go on, especially the fight ring. That was so great!
-Saturday Night madness - First running from Shattered elves, then hiding for a bit on my own, then moving around with the crowd in town center and winding up at House of I... All of that was amazing. The RP was super great the whole time, I was pleased and impressed
-Seeing Dan as the Mortigeist take advantage of the darkness and the amorphous swarm to move so easily into out ranks was pretty awesome, and alarming, but awesome.
-Bandit mod and the NPC roleplay
-Community building both in terms of PCs, but also with Shaper work to make the town seem more populated with real people we can have relationships with and not just a new crop of random farmers each game or as needed
-I don't think I have ever had a game where I personally got so much loot, through various means @_@
-Watching Demi get recognized by her god :3 That was so sweet!

Cons:
-A few minor miscommunications in plot things that were just vaguely confusing, but honestly probably only to me
-I don't feel like I got very much away from town center this event, but that is a personal failing I need to remedy rather than anything else
-I can't remember anything else specific?
-Oh, now I need a new in game knitting project. So I guess I need to buy yarn.... That should probably go in the 'pro' column >.>

Thanks to everyone involved in running the event, you all did great!
