This event was really good for me!
Good stuff:
The hunt for Acrisia (spelling?) on Friday night! Even though I was NPCing and hunting her, when my PC did not necessarily want that outcome it was great.
The fae games were interesting, and continue to make me hate fae more. Please no interrupt my breakfast mister fae.
The Squamata plotline with the shauktar and gremmel, and having actions that the PCs did to help disentangle stuff matter. This actually felt really good and I appreciate it a lot and so did the other PCs. Having the gremmel come back and talk with us was super cool.
Jenn's mods were great. Would be kidnapped again. Also other things that were cool from her!
The presence of insta mods was good.
The Bothnia plot.
Sparky the fire lord.
The thickening plots and seeing how they might all be connected.
Meh:
A little misdirection when we were told that the farms and Two feather were being attacked and it seemed as if there were three mods (farms, blood bringers, two feathers).
Monday was very slow, this happens, NPCs get tired or leave or get sick.
Have the instamods be more spread out. Either harder to find, or do them in bunches as the instamod line was silly.
I also agree that the assassins felt bad because they targeted lower level PCs. I always feel that bandits, tent raids, assassins, etc. inordinately target weaker or lower level PCs. But death is part of the game, just maybe spread the love out.
Not so good stuff:
Loot inconsistencies. It felt pretty bad.
Additional notes
I actually like how that the Bothnia Einher DID NOT act exactly the same as all other Einher (NPC or otherwise). I heard several complaints that they didn't act like "real" Einher. But stereotypes get boring, it get's typical. For me this broke the mold, having to figure out motivation and expecting more problems from them in the future. It wouldn't be fun if all wild elves were nature loving pacifists. It wouldn't be fun if all Einher were strict Einish code following warriors.
