Thanks everyone for coming out to the 2021 National Event. It was easily the most fun I've had at a larp event since I started playing. The costuming was great from a PC side, the RP was enjoyable and the interactions was a blast. I know I can speak for the rest of plot that we enjoyed running this for you all, and look forward to PCing along side some of you in the future.
- Running the "Pikmin" mod for now the 9th time with a new set of PCs. There's just a lot of fun about seeing PCs controlling NPCs with different abilities to solve puzzles. Then realizing at the end that they had to make them talk in unison to complete the last part was great.
- Seeing the reaction on PCs when they realized the sword had musical notes on it after trying to figure out what order 16 random pictures had to line up on 8 pedestals. When they figured out it was do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do their faces lit up in celebration.
- Seeing the Dragon in action along with the HEADmaster(with purple hat on an eye-stalk). Just seeing PCs react to that part of the fight was such a highlight. "Sylas Ravensong, now YOU are expelled!"
- The Books! Loved everyone's take on them. They were all fantastic.
- I was sad the original NPC who was to play Archibald the Biata student couldn't make it, but I loved the story and RP that was between myself(Archi), the Stone Elves and Mila. As Nothic Archibald saying the only word he could repeat "Mila" to Mila herself was so sad.
- Hearing the PCs talk about the plan to take down the Souverin during the Meet and Greet.
- Hanging out Thursday night grabbing drinks and dinner; then more with Rob, Alexander, Nate, Matt and Ryan at the AB&B. Was just nice to chill before Nationals.
- Lucian's 5 certificates for Simmon. They were hilarious.
- Bluewolf's enthusiasm during the Shadowmoon Academy stuff and his reactions to Simmon. During the final battle, while he threw 15 lightning, "I really do love your work!" while continuing on.
- Dark Elf spell duels. Feeling confident after 3 years of not throwing Earth spells after the first fight, then being DESTROYED the next 2 rounds.
- The props in general! From the Paintbrush and Shield(Ethan/Steph) to the wands (myself/Emma/Jon D) and all of Alexander's weapons and mask, and the books and crowns; the look of this event from the plot side was great. I look forward to seeing who ended up with what and where it'll show up.
- PCs learning about each Tyrant being a person from Simmon's past like Claribel(Princess) and Clifford the dentist(dragon)
- The Painting. I already loved what Kyle/Carly did with it. Then you all painted the best stuff on it. I especially loved Mutt's "killing with kindness" bit.
- No specific interactions, but all the little discussions with PCs as the Editor. At the start of the event I was so fed up with Simmon but by the end of it with your influence he felt sorry for his brother in the end, instead of hatred.
- Cresswater Ritual teaching Corbel by trying to get him to backlash. “Feel that wind blowing? Here comes the hurricane!”.
- Tony, Codner and Emma. You 3 were an extremely helpful group of veteran NPCs and we could not of gone as smoothly without you. To the other NPCs both new and 2nd eventers, you all rocked it. Your enthusiasm and willingness was appreciated.
I'm sure I'll add more. Again, this was a lot of fun. You all rocked this event.
