Pros:
Thorgrim getting a Wolves with Chainmail death dream, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Attempting to get revenge against the nobles for not saving us in the spider cave.
Being executed in front of the town in the middle of their party.
Spider Cave Conga Line
I had a ton of fun with Thorgrim in the 2-3 hours I played him, but that paled in comparison to what happened when Shaman and I rerolled.
Firstly, immense thanks go to everyone in NPC camp. When we asked to fight the lord(s) you could have just told us that we died. Instead you gave is a mini mod and then gave us tons of cool execution plot. That was the first great sign.
Then you went out of your way to help us reroll our new characters, and gave us makeup and clothing.
The point being, as npc camp / plot, you had no obligation to help make our experience better after we pretty much destroyed our own characters, but because of the extra effort you put in, I had what was arguably the most fun larp event ever, and I only played it for 6 hours.
Very funny loot, and the fact that plot was willing to write me up some sea cucumber tags.
Cons:
We showed up on Saturday at 8, and besides the spider cave there didn't seem to be a lot happening in terms of combat. While that was for the best in this case, since it gave Shaman and I a ton of time to RP with people and get to know them, I would have prefered a tiny bit more action. To be fair though, that may be because I wasn't pooped after having dealt with Friday night's madness, so take this con with a grain of salt.
The final mod was a bit lackluster in terms of combat and sense of urgency. It might be better in the future to actually have final mods in more enclosed areas, which would increase the sense of urgency.
All in all, due to the nature of our arrival I didn't get to experience much actual plot, but if the approach that the plot team takes to its players is any indication of things, I'm sure it will be great. Before I showed up to this game, Ralinwood was something I was ambivalent about comitting to, but I saw so many good things this game that I am now a full convert. Thank you for an amazing event, and I plan to be there for the rest of them!
