First post!
I had a fantastic time this weekend. At key times, I felt more immersed in the action and more genuinely in my role than I have felt in ages. (Not to say that I have felt that the immersion was lacking of late, only that I'm at a place in my life right now where it is a challenge for me, especially when I jump in for only a few hours at a time.) I experienced real delight and real rage. Thank you to the PCs and NPCs who made those feelings happen!

I loved the goblin D&D, and I felt that it was well executed to make it feel non-disruptive.
I saw lots of great PC/NPC interaction.
Great PC props! I love how personalized and realistic many of the lanterns, wall hangings, etc are, and how much flavour they lend.
The camp that had the fire (LF, maybe?), good on you! Way to bring people over to socialize.
So many Aja!

More OOG talk than usual. I totally encourage and endorse the hand-on-head system for rules clarification and asking for descriptions but by Saturday night I was starting to feel as if people were using it more like a free pass to make an oog joke, share a personal life detail, or tell a story about a different character. Once one person does it, the whole group goes downhill. And nobody enjoys being the asshole that calls for a cease and desist. Please please please save those things for later.
A few times comments were made between NPCs and shapers outside of NPC camp which felt like they might give details away to the players.
