oh man, SOOOO many awesome things, I'll edit this later, but for right now I want to say:
The dreaming hours, with the swarm and the stalker were AMAZING, the speaker announcing the Stalker was amazing and we found ourselves being quiet to try to hear where the growling of it had gone. And whenever we'd hear the swarm or stalker approach we'd start yelling to run to the earth circle. It was AMAZING! <3
Where to start... I suppose from the beginning,
The Zesh numbers were a bit smaller than we'd planned on them being for this game, but instead of being down at all about it we just looked at each other at lay on and said "We simply must get out there and work even harder to kick *** and look fabulous."
Nathanial: You sir, hats off to you, even when you had no earthly idea what I was trying to say to you, you still roleplayed it like a boss agreeing and holding on conversations with yourself at some points.
The Juren, where do I even begin here. There was an amazing level of dedication to roleplay at all points this weekend from all of you, I got to have motes extracted quite a few times, and seeing the expressions on faces when I told them I was not scared, then them trying to coach through further denial was funny, and very in character of them.
Whispurr: Thank you so much for the fun roleplay throughout the game and enjoying the catnip tea with me, as well as the wrestling for altoids in the tavern. I cannot wait to see what trouble we get into in the future <3
Feha: Oh man, Feha, you dealt with so much, and you were a champion of our roleplay constantly. From when Grunt told you that he may know where his tongue was, to our resurrection, to what happened toward the end of the game. You stayed in character more than anyone else I know. There will be more story with us, and I cannot wait to experience how our tale unfolds.
Vel: I didn't get to spend much time with you, though the time I did spend was the last fight, and a rite of unity. The rite was preformed spectacularly by Chris (I want to say that's your OOG name, I didn't know it IG and I'm bad with names) was astounding! Taking the time to explain through IN CHARACTER terms how the mechanics worked was wonderful and I hope it is a trend that catches on more.
Eld: Whoah, we did SO much together this weekend. Starting with Friday evening, Hillaria staying up late enough to "speak" with mysterious horned creatures in the woods (3am, you crazies!). Grabbing me the following morning for all kinds of things, digging up tongues, uncovering ancient secrets, going a bit crazy, paranoia room with all of us pointing weapons at each other. It was SOOOOO much fun(plus some other less savory stuff). Then breaking through someone's mind and rescuing them from a coma. Also, the dreaming hour, nuf said.
Watcher: It was so refreshing to get a chance to roleplay with you and wander around. Such a change from how we are with Puck and Anders, we actually tog to get into combat and kick some ***. I very much hope we get to play these characters together again someday.
Oneiromancer: When we were in the cave, and concluded the memory plot and were walking out, I have never been so scared and excited to roleplay something for fear of the Eld taking away my memories as well as the new secrets we shared. All of the various invites and talking to things made me feel a part of the family.
Carcosa: You were so stellar with the roleplay, your ability to stick to your accent was incredible to me. Our fighting together felt wonderful like we were an actual team who had been fighting side by side for ages.
Also I'd never forgive myself if I didn't thank the Plot team, seriously, I cannot point to a single example that stuck out to me because ALL of encounters I had. My back story was masterfully handled going deeper than I could digest within 2 games!!! The dreaming hours were a wonderful combination of challenge and combat (seriously, I want combat like this in New Acarthia all the time). Having Faction specific plot, with amazing rewards and rites to benefit everyone!?!? My mind was blown when I learned that there was this much going into it. I cannot even fathom how many sleepless nights there must have been. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU <3 <3
