Thank you HQ for another incredible event!
-Fear. Not the arcane kind, but really feeling like, "Oh sh*t how is this winnable?!" I love it when that happens.
-Vex Squad! I am truly blessed to roll with the folks I do. Thank you so much guys for always being there for me and helping me out soo much when I need.
-People coming to my aid when I thought all hope was lost Saturday morning at logistics. Thank you Michelle, Marla, and Scott for helping me out. <3 <3 <3
-Thanks Jess, Brian, and Chazz for hooking me up with my necessary duds.
-Scott Kondrk. I don't really need to say why, we all know. However, the encounters with Lochabar this time around were really special for me, and not just because one of them left me shoe-less.
-+3 Earth Axe!
-Dwarves! I could weep with happiness. I won't because I've been doing too much of that lately. Rolling with talented roleplayers who want to be these characters and make them come alive is like the happiest thing that could ever happen to me in this game ever. Tedd, Sean, Aaron...you guys rock...of Trellheim.
-Brian Bender! Congratulations on your award my friend, you bring it all to the game. I love every one of your characters. I think I may love hearing about the stories even more, legend status sir.
-Roleplay with Kelsey. Sevaria is awesome. Kelsey is hardcore. The combo is better than macaroni and cheese.
-Watching Henry have a blast with his new PC that has been in the works for years. Sitting back and observing him be his inner Elf.
-Glorianna laying the curse bitch slap on Arienne. Hell yeah, take that pig nose! Think about your man ALL THE TIME, and oink while you do it. Dizamn. I love you Erica.
-Kelly taking the curses like a champ, and still managing to make a pig nose look good. Why'd you have to recall?
-Bill for being Johnny on the spot with extra boots. Dude I still have them and they are well, you shall have them back when we meet again!
-My friend Mike Stabley. I wept when Ragnar passed, and caused a ruckus in tribute. All moments passed rolling with you rushed into my head. I am sorrowful that the character is no more, but I feel privileged to have known Ragnar, and had the chance to fight along his side with 3 different PCs. Great times man, great times!
-The tireless efforts of hardcore NPCs. I cannot name you all individually, but you know who you are. Thank you so much for bringing it this weekend. You were incredible. I cannot sing enough praises for your great attitudes and fortitude this weekend. The encounters were rough, demanding, intense, and combat heavy...you made it look easy. Thank you.
This was a wonderful weekend overall. I got to wear a beard again. I got to see people I love and forge new relationships with characters Justin has known for years, but is just getting to know as a new character. It felt like I came home, this weekend in HQ, thank you everyone.
