Had a pretty good event overall. As far as tavern nights go I think this was one of the better ones I've been to.
Pros/Good Memories:
• The NPCs were all really fleshed out and there was a lot of fantastic RP. The costumes, especially the ones Sureeta brought, looked absolutely spectacular, and I didn't see a single NPC fumbling for their name or why they were there.
• I have progressed from "too gay to live" as Ursel to "too gay to stay on this plane" as Ori.
• I really enjoyed the games that came around. Granted, I was terrible at all of them except the cup game. Like. Tragically bad.
• People came running to me when the clinic group came out to ask my opinion on it and somebody saw one of the merchants had an elf item for sale and immediately went and got me. That really warmed my heart.
• "Roland, are you trying to convert me to Styphon right after we did a prayer to Cassandra?"
Cons:
• I think the event really could have benefited from one or two more big fights in the sectioned off half, maybe against something other than undead so people without a magic weapon could do something other than moral support.
• Regarding that fight, there were a staggering number of greater undead with no loot. It's demoralizing enough to use your skills and magic items and whatever to kill an undead and get nothing, but when they run out of loot halfway through the mod and make no effort to adjust then it's just become a waste of resources for the PCs with no payoff. I used the entirety of a 3/ever magic item and got nothing for it, which is frustrating.
• While Jen took every effort to make sure the fish she brought were ok and taken care of I really don't think we should ever use live animals at LARP. Even small fish are living creatures and I am super uncomfortable setting a precedent for bringing animals into the middle of an uncontrolled environment where there's combat and the potential for people to crash into a table or throw a foam knife and land it in the container. MAYBE for a completely noncombat event but I really hope this sort of thing isn't done again.
