Dear new friends,
I've traveled to many chapters (I think this is my sixth) and this one was the friendliest and most welcoming (both IG and OOG). Thank you for making someone who's been away from Alliance for several years feel welcome!
A few more notable moments, in no particular order:
- starting with no spells and no staff (rebuilds don't get new stuff) and rolling with it
- learning about traps, and being barely out of the area effect of one.
- getting to be part of the creation of a limited circle of power
- working together with other newbys to learn the lay of the land
- great food! and somehow it was always available! (I'm used to "Food will be at X o'clock", it arriving at X+3 o'clock, it running out at X+3.5 o'clock, and it not having much in the way of vegetables -- so I know how much effort it took to get things running as smoothly as it did this weekend!)
- fae games
- exploring a never-ending game site (yes, really I loved the size of it, and all the little hidden nooks!). I've never experienced the plot cards before -- a very nice touch that ensures that you can actually find really cool stuff far away from where NPCs usually wonder.
- all the mods and the awesome NPCs in them, and the fact that we had more options than just "hack and slash"
- all the great role-laying role-models -- I love learning more ways to RP
