Oh boy, where to even begin?!
I love coming to Ralinwood. I can't say it enough. Playing all these other larps and doing a whole year at Jericho i had lost all hope for a good roleplay experience, then some little birdy tells me to transfer over and give it another shot and Ive been nothing less then excited and happy to larp. Yall are amazing, everything you oull off and do excites me and I cant praise yall enough. I cant wait to see what comes next!
Pros this event in random order;
I loved the smoke/flares entrance of the elemental lords. I watched as a handful of people collectively shat their pants only for it to not be what they all expected.
I love love loved the monster hunter fight against the Rainbow Wyvern. It felt cinematic as fuck and just the way the mechincs worked out it felt like i was playing the video game but real life. It had a great entry, the big moment at the beginning where Crankshaft did his thing made it feel so impressive when the wyvern remained standing. The use of the physical rebuke and getting thrown back and seeing like 4 or 5 of the pcs all land in "super hero" poses only to take a breath and run back in and re-engage the fight. The way that npc actually acted out gettjng dirt in the eyed and its reaction to the slay I threw just to blow me away ahhhhhh. Outside i was giving off confidence and being super ebon, but inside i was squeeeeeing like a little girl. I was super super super glad I got to go on this mod, after watching crankshaft try and fail for so long to convince these higher level specific players to help him and him failing at it only for a table of under level 5s to go "hey we will help ya out" made the victory all that much sweeter for me. Cant count out us lowbees Xd
I was so hype to just be apart of the final Shaman training thing. Experiencing that moment from the outside was kind of nice. My swashbuckler training felt so real and intense and seeing these 2 guys finishing off their training and gettng to be apart of it. Ahhhhhh. Thanks guy <3
The super late night underwater pirate ship mod we did Saterday night.....felt amazing and impressive. That breach and clear and general teamwork of the 9 people that went blew me away. The sneaky silent kills, the drowing of the pirates, the way that last npc came threw that final door only to get dirt in the eyed, then sapped, then garrotted holy shit was amazing. Thank you super late night npc team for letting us do that mod. I really hope the group of 9 of us get to do another one next month. Even with the conclusion Sunday morning of the boat being impounded after, it was the fun of the mod and the experience that I enjoyed the most.
Everyone being super supportive this game of my stupid wrist. I was trying so hard to be careful and left hand fight or super slow fight with the bad wrist. It went super super well until i did the stupid sunday morning. I got really into being rabid wolven ebon and went to screw around with my buddy and wasnt thinking and totally pushed him with my bad band and it was like slow motion as it went pop and the pain began. Luckily i had a bucket of ice and some heckin good medication and friends and fixed myself up enough to get threw the rest of the morning snd home. Thanks to Yusha for helping me wrap it up with the little bit of tensor bandages i had stashed in my oog backpack.
Cons in no order;
Please please no more of the bell. As someone who worked at summer camps for kids and lived on sites like these it literally kept sending me into a panic oog. Most sites those bells are used for emergencys only. And it kept going off. At one point i ran to the tavern npc table just to make sure everything was okay. Ahhhh maybe next game if your going to be doing the bells thing announce so before game so I can save myself the heart attack.
I know its something probably uncontrollavlble but holy shit is there a lot of fire crap in this port city. And as a wolven i watch as the rest of the wolven are pretty much taken out of game by it all. Mod after mod of fire elemental swinging enemies. I know i picked this super heavy make up race with this super bad downside(because the buyable skills were so good before we got nerfed into the ground and now i personally dont think its even at all). But watching them being so fearful and then hearing other players complain that the wolven arnt participating in much combat pissed me off. Like we cant control that the plot is all fire elemental swinging spellstrikers. We dont want to waste 90 life spells as we are literally just a liability. At one point i just went fuck it and ran at the fire. Screw acting out my character downside, i wanted to participate in a way that wasnt sitting out like i was being punished for being me. So far every single game this year has things swinging spellstrike elemental fire. Lets change it up abit please.
New NPC camp. At first i hated it. I had lost the little cooldown zone I used all the previous games. Where i could sit and rp in a tavern under a giant fan and cool off. Its understandable tho as you npcers need a cooler place aswell. I was thinking and being mad for personal reasons. I soon got used to it though and eventually didnt care. Though i have 3 huge gripes about it.
1: theres a giant window on the north side of the building where a giant bright light shines out. If npc camp is going ti be there id really appreciate if this one window was garbage bagged taped up. Anyone walking into site from the car park loses all night vision because of this light. If you need volunteers to climb up and do this job I will volunteer to do it. And ill bring the garbage bags and donate them and the tape to do it. It was never a problem before as the tavern was closed down by the time it got dark enough for this to be a problem.
2: its super super hard not to meta over hearing things. Your npc camp is now right beside where pcs hang out and sit during the day maybe police keeping the chatter and noise down from in there. At the tables, in the grass between the two buildings we can hear...everything.
3: You all should not be using that back door where you need to walk threw the kitchen. As someone who works in a professional kitchen that place will lose its green certification instantly if they saw this happening. Its a health concern for people to be trampsing in and threw an active kitchen without hairnets ectect. And it is an active kitchen as you all cook there and charge customers for its items via the tavern. Maybe some work around can be made for this if your going to continue using this building.
Tho if the pros outweigh the cons that npc camp was heckin nice and set up really well. If it was heat as the issue(and not just the space) i can donate a huge air conditioner if thatll alleviate the problem. Only issue with that would be getting to and from site. As its HUGE
Anyways super super fun game. I cant wait to see what you all pull off next. I had so much fun just getting to roleplay as Ebon. Ahhh. You all are amazing <3
