Ahhhh, what a come back. After 6 months off from adventuring as Ebon, I got too come back and remember how much I love coming too Ralinwood/Larp. Had a blast running around and interacting with old friends, and seeing how much some of them have changed over those 6 months. This event had its ups and downs for me, but overall still a blast too participate in.
Some highlights of the event for me;
The opening mod going right into the plot for the weekend, was expecting the ship thing too be at the end but wham bam right at the start, started it off with a bang, and i really enjoyed that.
Pulling the giant enemy crab out of the water with the ropes! The npc getting stuck on the wood beams had me fucking loling. Then secretly seeing Ang untieing the rope at the midway point ahhhahahahaha.
I super liked repping swimming in the water. Was doing the doggie paddle at one point and made some peeps laugh.
Liked the idea of the water crashing wave things during the swampwalk section where it was icy, thought it was a neat way too make an environmental hazard seem scary. And it kept people safe on the winter ice that was everywhere!
I liked seeing the loot some people were getting, saw some neat hints at some plots that might come up over the year.
Loved the email scammers npcs.
And all my interactions with other players. Cat gets a 11/10 on her stash of different glasses and hats she was trolling me with haha Had me legit thinking i was seeing shit at one point haha.
The final chest getting all the people involved in the plot a piece of loot is amazing. That was the only tag i got all event, even if it was a 2 silver gemstone it felt very nice too just get something at all. And seeing them call back some of the harder working non looters to get a second grab at an item was amazing. Ahh!
Some lowlights;
All the weapon breaks. Holy moly i went threw more silver swords this one day event then i have in my year of larping at Ralinwood+my year at Jericho combined. Was completely out of gold/resources by the 4th sword gone. Ended up borrowing from other players and oweing some favours all over the place too cover the 5th and 6th silver swords that also ended up broken. Thanks too whoever the npc was that came out too sell me another sword near the end of the game. I was getting legitimately salty at this point and just sitting out mods in fustration. That one last sword cost me the most powerful item i had in my bag to get another player too buy it from the npc for me. Im not sure if this was just bad luck on my end because i didnt see many other players having this problem, and maybe it was just me unluckily running into the fucking weapon breaks like winnie the pooh too a beehive of hunny. It just felt targeted even though i know it wasnt. Felt fustrating and punishing, i dont loot/have the resources too deal with this kind of thing in game due too how I play my character and thats on me i guess. Not a good way too raise difficulty on a mod or go threw characters resources, its literally jjst punishing a player who isnt one of the hoarders of gold or tags.
Really disliked the looooooong swampwalk on the last mod. I like too roleplay these things and my poor arms and legs were getting sore from fake swimming while swampwalked for what felt like half a km of thick oozy wet mud. I felt maybe jumping from rock too rock or having some sort of mechanic too break that walk up a little would of been nice. There was 1 npc too keep us busy and the poor fellah ended up charmed at the start or something along those lines.
Am kind of dissappointed in the greed i see from some players. I saw multiple fights over loot. I dont loot at all for this very reason. I dont see a point in hoarding coins or tags like i see some people do.
Also the people argueing rules/calls with npcs--come on guys its like argueing with the DM in dnd you just dont. During the game you just roll with the calls being made, aftergame you approach npc or send an email too discuss it all.
Was still an amazing game, and it was fun too be Ebon again after all this time and seeing and interacting with all you fun peeps again. Thanks for all the hardwork NPC camp does too entertain us. Yall dking gods work.
