Feb 2010 highlights

Might as well start this off.

Highlights
1. Seeing old and new faces.  Always a good thing.
2. The early morning ride over with Tom, Tim, and Liam was hilarious.
3. KR version of "How It's Made" is now in the planning stage.  Next month we will get the stock footage needed.
4. Helping set-up Shantytown with Kyle, Wally, Matt, and crew was fun.
5. Afternoon nap time made being up late Friday easier.
6. Getting to RP talk with key friends and allies made for good times.
7. Learning Negative Energy Fortitude while getting pelted with snow and hit made for joy for some spectators.
8. Seeing Liz learn Dodge and becoming a human pin-cushion and pinata was funny.
9. Becoming a vassal to Alisandria.
10. NO SNOW ALL EVENT!
11. Going out as NPC Healers to help the town, only to be turned away due to suspicious paranoia and fear.
12. Steve B. giving me a ride home early so we could beat Super Bowl traffic and get home earlier.

Lowlights.
1. No snow, but still plenty chilly for some folks.
2. Not enough OJ for the NPC's Saturday night to drink and re-energize.  I'll get more cartons in the future.
3. Wishing I had a Staffmember to witness something important while I was NPCing.
4. Being a bad witch hunter and choosing to stay in bed and sleep instead of going mummy-hunting.  I missed the fun and had no 1 to blame but myself.

The following people were exceptional and I like to personally thank them for various IG and OOG reasons/actions...  Tom (Odo), Steve B. (Gregor), Malcolm (Kwildar), Charna (Corteccia), Joe (Lucius), Mike P. (Simon), Jackie G. (Evadne), Mike S. (Blade), Jen W. (Mixolydia), Geoff (Gideon), and Vince (Lethias).  Thanks for a fun event.

Highlights
1) NO SNOW - weathermen should institute a cracked crystal ball as their official symbol.
2) Getting to go on the tough undead mod before feast...and not feeling like I shouldn't be there.
3) Trying to distract the Lich with 3 people behind him and with me still having a ton of armor pnts left, only to get slagged by direct body damage (it was a cool moment, even though I got dropped).
4) Risking life to save several people dropped behind enemy lines in the mod mentioned above, essentially saving them from dying. A very heroic moment for me
5) Being rejected from a low level mod. I wanted to go, but a milestone to be considered too tough lol.
6) Meeting some newer players and helping them out (and some of them in turn helping me).
7) Great roleplay with the highlanders, gypsies, Sorel, Gideon, Lucious, and so many others its hard to remember them all
Nice meeting with the Baron
9) Warrior with the armor and 2HE, forgot your ig name, but it was awesome spending time with you.

Lowlights

1) A few fellows not being able to make it up b/c of weather issues where they were coming from
2) Hunting again for a teacher of master warrior and failing to learn it because so many are were not being able to do it (can't teach, already taught someone recently). It's all good though, heh.
3) Getting hooked with a group to help the monestary that was being attacked by trolls, and walking the entire camp, only to find that the npc's left...and that no one else was around (all dressed up and no one to fight lol).
4) Not being able to accept a generous offer made to me due to previous obligations and a strong moral code.
5) Having to leave early (again) and missing the feast/main mod.

I had a great time at the event and can't wait till the next one.

All I can say, is it was good to be back after 2 events gone.  This game was 9 years at KR for me.

Highilights
Making new friends and becoming closer with ones from last month
Got to use my new skill First Aid. Twice.
Actually got a few kills in this time around.
A new side of Travance. I have never been so afraid.
My prat fall in front of the inn with all my bags. I felt pathetic but with my bags going every where I hope it looked legit. (Related Lowlight: gettign gacked ten minutes after arriving.)
Meeting more Druids.
Glommulite Cuddle Puddle

Lowlights
Got to KR too late no bed.

I will say that i had a great time.  Kudos to Andy, Doug, Jon and Adam.  This was the best event since I have been back.  There was a great flow and was very easy for everyone to grasp what was going on and what was needed to be accomplished. 

It was a great first event for me and I had so much fun. I must say that I have never been woken from a dead sleep to hear that "the undead are attacking the Monastery" while I am dead asleep in the Monastery, but it was fun. Made lots of new friends and I can't wait for next month where hopefully I will be more involved since I have figured out that you don't sleep at KR.

Highlights

- Awesome RP with Cain

Friday night-
- The sudden realization that my family can handle themselves now, and that I now longer need to be on top of them every moment.
- Hearing my name called every 3 seconds for help with something! While annoying after a while, it feels really good to know that people think of Collin as a reliable good guy.
- Tasting the stew before anyone else. I died a little that moment. The potatoes weren't even in and already it was the best stew of my life.

Friday night NPC-
- Being waylayed and robbed while I played my NPC Dress bandit thief. Robbed by another npc thief. Both of us thinking the other was a pc!
-Dress bandits strike again! Only to be thoroughly slaughtered. That plot line should have run a lot longer and had a lot more depth but luckily you didn't kill ALL of us, and we could show you why the hell it was happening!
- Staying up with Matt wondering what they would do to the three remaining dress bandits and shooting the shit.

Saturday morning-

- Rose saying the exact right words to trigger Collins insanity, subsequently me taking the loudest and longest way back through the woods towards the inn, just begging monsters to slaughter me.
- Fell asleep- See lowlights

Sunday Morning-
-Cooking burgers for people who were desperate for something to eat. Lots of fun there!
-Learning new skills and powers!!!
-Teaching more people rangery stuff!
- Lazily shooting people with fowling blunts just to have some fun.


Low lights-
-Death of the Dress Bandits- Plot line cut way short so I had to rush job my role play on the torture slab.

-Learning patch armor! Great to know, and fun to RP too.

-Exploring market fair is always great. Everyone makes such wonderful things. I'm constantly impressed by it.

-Helping cook food, and getting to stir the giant cauldrons of soup and cut cucumbers with Wolfgar.
-Getting to be a 'fancypants' wild mage as my NPC.

Saturday night-
-Eating feast. AMAZING!
-Colin asking Rose for advice on women. Subsequent RP following that conversation was fantastic. "I love that you wear armor!" It's about time Rose had a love interest again. I have a feeling this is gonna be a lot of fun.
-The Elven ritual for the dead was so cool. I loved it. A lot.
-The RP between Rose and Colin before he went to the Void. "Look me in the eyes and tell me you won't come back through the Focus." And her giving her family heirloom to him to keep him safe.

-The RP between Rose and Colin before he went to the Void. "Look me in the eyes and tell me you won't come back through the Focus." And her giving her family heirloom to him to keep him safe.


I might add that I was the last person to arrive back at the inn from that mod. Half because my shin splints were acting up. Half because I wanted to instill a bit of worry into you that I did die. Hehe.

I know! Remember that I ran out to meet you because I was worried! Rose had been frequenting the window while you all were gone because she was watching for you.
Sucks about the shin splints BTW.

More Highlights

Meeting the Dryads Teak (or is it Teag) and Orix (sp?)
Talking with Teak and a fellow barbarian druid about our domains. Learning new ways to call myself a druid.
Purposely drinking Satyr Wine at the Feast. but Alexander (Gabriel) RPed it best on sunday morning.
Learning what Typhon thinks of civilization.
Thomas Ravenmore (Justin)'s continueing to not understand that I do in fact eat and wear animals.

Awesome event! Thanks to Adam, Andy, and Doug for an awesome weekend!

Great fun all weekend. I had a ball on the howling void mod and also had a great time helping out on main mod.

Kudos also to Damien and his Daimyo. It made feast fun.

I know this event was way sweet when I forgot about the cold. It takes a lot for that to happen to me.
Thanks again yous guys

So this was my first real KR event, and my first time LARPing in ages.  I really enjoyed the chance to suit up and kick some tail.  Most everyone I interacted with turned out friendly and good to play with, but I'd like to give some high-fives out to Wolfgar, Thorgrim, Gideon, and the young lady who NPCed the "lover's quarrel" with me.  I wasn't expecting to make such good friends outside of people I'd already known, and I'm looking forward to seeing you guy again.  In addition, I was particularly impressed by and enjoyed playing with Dame Heartwood, the Celts, Squire Sorel, and Teeg (spelling?).  I hope I get to make even better friends with you folks next time.

The ... "staff" really knows what they are doing.  Things like NPC shifts and work shifts being mandatory are great innovations.  You guys are way better organized than any other LARP group I've ever seen; it pays off in a good, solid game that always has things going on and makes for a nice, cooperative atmosphere.  The excitement and the mood is very infectious, and so immersive that stepping OUT of character became the hard thing to do.

All of my favorite moments were defined by what other people were doing - fighting alongside Wolfgar, debating religion with Father Edwin, using the blacksmith's greatsword against chaos warriors after learning what it meant to him ... none of the victories in battle measured up to the richness of interaction I found there.

Lots of Lowlights for this event, so I'll get them out of the way:
*Coming home with a 101+ fever and strep throat. If you have sore-throat type symptoms, get 'em looked at, mmkay?
*Too much cold (OOG)
*Too much angst (IG)
*Too much ARGH (IG and OOG)

Now for the Highlights:

*Finding a bed (thank you Shan-chan and Adam)
*knocking Tobar unconscious
*watching Tsoli spit vinegar
*Glommite cuddle-puddle
*Fainting spells
*Great RP with Dr. Maxwell, Rosa, Rannick, et alt.
*FEAST. Matt Magnus, I owe you lots of impromptu snuggling.
*entertaining folks by the fire Sunday Morning.

I would like to thank you all for making my first weekend event so memorable! Coming into something so completely new to me seemed scary, but everyone was very friendly and helpful and welcomed me most merrily!  The highlights were the treasure hunting mod with the undead, nervously singing at feast, nomming a giant pile of salad, I third the glomminite cuddle puddle, all the newbies banning together fantastically, learning magic lore and advanced literacy, Remi actually making me work for Fanfare of Bold Action, shakily reconciling with Tobar, having Teeg (sp?) watch my back, watching the Baron divy up the loot, and watching six spirits be reanimated in the monastery. Also the giant scuffle to figure out the trinket I picked up, and Aleister trying to convince me to join Dragomire. The only lowlight I can think of is how god awful cold NPCing the Sat. overnight shift was! Also, a certain someone who was going to e- mail me about a certain something dropped a certain piece of paper...good job. high five.

I look forward to tumbling ever further into the great realm!

This event was crazy but so so fun

Highlights:

Meeting up with some old friends and making new ones
Being not so useless despite this being only my second event
Making a bunch of gold killing cobalts and being the only newer person able 2 eat that 50 fire attack and laughing at the cobalt for the look he made at me after I did
Managing to randomly scare and I think disturb 3 undead who were getting ready to attack the inn while just sitting outside smoking an alchemy stick, who would have thought they didn't like smoke
Finding about 6 gold just laying around in the snow
Making 1 of my many swords silver though I wasn't able to use it till Sunday morning
Being adopted by the gypsy's because I'm such close friends with most of them especially Marika Corsova
Toravisu's (sp?) extremely well made peppermint hot chocolate
Not Dieing

Lowlights:
Almost going head first into the fire in the fireplace when I woke up Saturday morning (don't ask)
Being called insane for randomly walking around the woods the night the mummy attacked by myself because I lost track of everyone when they all ran away
The cold weather
All the high level stuff coming out that I couldn't do to much against being this is only my 2nd event
Being really close to being hit in the crotch by what ever that one thing was that attacked the inn by itself Sunday night
The headache I got after drinking Wolfgars (sp?) sugary as heck stuff he made
The blinding sun on the way home
Getting my right leg broken twice by a gargoyle none the less by the same gargoyle

Had a great time and I can't wait till March

SO many good things this event but here are the highlights:

*Seeing everyone come out even with the promise of a ton of snow.

*Feast was sooooo Delicious!

*Learning all of the Smithing Basics.

*Meeting with Daimyo Kitsuki before feast which invoked so much inspiration and insight into playing a Khitan. Damien's RP was Intimidating both IG and OOG.

*An exchange made during the attack on the mummy's tomb:
NPC: "Chaotic Alteration!" against a PC standing next to me.
Me: "Intercept, Wild Shield!"
NPC: "That only works against an arcane spell."
Me: "Uhhh, oh right, Intercept! ....Inner-Calm?"

*After-Feast Dish Brigade, somehow the Knight and Two Squires of Kaladonia all ended up at the sink by way of volunteering, and thanks to the Gypsies who jumped in about halfway through to finish the job.

*Going to the Howling Void, though death was promised and delivered.

*NPC Kobolds for the new players, so much pinning!

Wow. 

-Elanna--girl, you have the most jumbled but throrough memory. . . ever May your stubbornness and tenacity through incredible derision and condescension carry us through again and again.
-"KEVIN?"
-Lovers quarrel. Masterfully RP'd to both NPC's
-feeling effective
-feeling challenged--the lovers, Welschers Bedouin, Andy and Doug's Galladelians, and Damien's Daimyo and entourage all gave my diplomatic skills some serious workout
-Feeling looked-after every minute. I remember the days when I would have to walk across the camp alone at night. Now I can hardly go the the privvy without a guard.
-Small compliments from a larger-than-life character. . .who then had the indecency to die.
-Sleeping through a mummy attack. Thank god he didn't open the door. I wouldn't have even known I was dead till I woke up in the AM.
-Feast despite the intense discomfort of sitting beside the Daimyo and his woman while trying to keep the count who was on the OTHER side of the Daimyo, from horribly insulting the Daimyo repeatedly--and failing epicly.

Jen- Thank you I wish I could say the odd memory was an IG thing... but at least I remember things! It works well for a wild mage anyways  :

So! This event.. was busy... and I have learned the horrors of research when you can't find the people you learn the research from  

It's even more entertaining that once you learn everything... no one wants to listen to you. Luckily Mixolydia did!

Ilana needs a spine. I think she was starting to get one until Sunday morning too when she got that glare from Erdrick. A shame.

The funniest thing was staying an extra hour after my NPC shift to do some research on one thing and then coming in game and right away being sent back out to 'the library' to do a lot more research.

The most fun I had was when the villagers who came to town were trying to lynch a man. Ilana's never enjoyed scaring people until then.

Trying to sell things at Market Faire and then that's when people want my attention. Ugh.

So many new people! Ilana's missed out on a lot but she is starting to catch up

The Daimyo at feast- *clap**clap**clap**clap**clap**clap**clap*
...*clap**clap**clap**clap**clap**clap**clap**clap**clap*

Being ordered to surge... if nobility orders you to do it.. eh?


Lowlights

-Ilana being kicked off the guard because she's a wildmage  ??? Oh well, Ilana got Rayven/Barak to trust her, hopefully Shalok will give her the same chance.

-Learning Ethan Archangel died and having a small conniption. The list of people who need to stay in Travance for it not to be doomed  is getter shorter.. not good!

-My own low-level mod disaster- See, I thought Corrupt Thoughts made me attack others, so I blew my willpower on that early instead of not blowing up when Ilana was met with her first 'sever limb' (rot limb) /Fail on me... but at least I learned another willpower!

-Erdrick- IG, Ilana doesn't get it. OOG, I do. She'll try and learn or end up avoiding him like the plague for eternity.

*5 minutes after finding an odd Urn sitting on the side of the road*

PC #1: Ok, so apparently this urn they need to stop the mummy was stolen, so if anyone has any information...
Me: *surprised* You mean and urn like this?!
PC #1: Woah! Where did you get that?
Me: *truthfully* I found it on the side of the road
PC #1: Hahah, ok... but no, really, where did you get it?
Me: No, really, I found it on the side of the road, like 5 minutes ago.
PC #1: Woah really? I thought maybe that was code for something. Get that to the proper authorities!

10 minutes later, speaking to the proper authorities...

PC #2: Woah! Where did you get that?
Me: *truthfully* I found it on the side of the road
PC #2: Hahah, ok... but no, really, where did you get it?
Me: No, really, I found it on the side of the road, like 15 minutes ago.
PC #2: Hmmm ok... we need a Chroniclerite who can cast prayers over here. Hey, PC #3, look at this!
PC#3: Woah! Where did you get that?
Me: *getting frustrated* I found it on the side of the road
PC #3: Hahah, ok... but no, really, where did you get it?
Me:  I found it on the side of the road, like 15 minutes ago! Why does everyone keep asking me that?!
PC 2 + 3 together: Because it's YOU.

PC #3 brings me to PC #4, with PC #2 in tow

PC#3: Did you REALLY find this on the side of the road?
Me: YES!!!
PC#3: *casts a chroniclerite spell inforcing honesty* Did you REALLY find this on the side of the road?
Me: YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PC#4: You really found that on the side of the road?
Me: YES! WHY DOES EVERY KEEP ASKING ME THAT?

All three in unison: BECAUSE IT'S YOU.


Fuck all ya'll

Highlights:
-Chatting people up on the ride up and before lay on, and feeding folk/learning the joys of soy milk.
-drinking ye coffee at ye bar with Marcus and talking smack.
- nice talk with Slack right up until the woods impaled him.
- Fun NPC shift with the lovers' quarrel -- it was really fun to watch the pcs rp the heck out of that, and very impressive from my pov.
- seeing the Chronicle in hard copy. Even in this digital age, I love the look, feel, and yes, smell of parchment.

Lowlights:
-downed by the plague on Sat morning, so had to head home before a lot of the fun stuff, particularly sad since I won't be able to make the March event. The Chronicle shall suffer. <sigh>

Friday:
-NPC Shift: Lay-on meant that I had to run for logistics for my NPC shift to start.
+NPC Shift: Going out as undead wolves(being one of the pack leaders) and crawling after PCs when they crippled my hind legs, to defend the younger undead wolves
+NPC Shift: Being an elemental and knowing my abilities before I was handed the card.
+NPC Shift: Traping a good portion of towns members during the tiny mod witht eh necromancer and the greater revenant and greater skeletal champions..
"kill all the living!" *short pause and we all turn to the necromancer and start killing her*"Not me you idiots!  the----"

+showing up to town late, and being greeted by people that my character didn't show up to town with for the first time!
+Actually getting more than two good spells for my PC to use.
+getting armor repaired , and only loosing it at low-level main mod( Thank you again for loaning me the lucky armor Mars, it seems only you can hurt me while I wear it...lol)
+Trying to help Ilana keep track of things and not get distracted by the nobals.
+Good RP moment when people kept telling my PC (Oren Tenderson) that everyone at the monetary was dead, and him freaking out and trying to stay away from every one in fear of booming.... only to be told to stay with the group by nobility.(a few people Oren really cares about went to the monetary to help there after things came to the inn)

Saturday:
+Wild mages sleep? strange morning(two hours of sleep and no attack or booming)
+going with Tobar,Collin and the others to help the man who had been robbed, only to here about the urn being taken, then telling them I was the fastest on foot and being told to tell the baron NOW!
+telling the baron and several nobles the same thing over and over again, and getting to catch my breath before heading out again with Barak and Klidon to track down the urn thief.
+tracking through the woods, and finding a the lich mod where the ring was found.
+being recognized and remembered by hig level characters and nobles from last event.
+Winning the life style raffle at market fair, and keeping Ilana's table safe from thieves.
-Buying a few things that were over priced at market fair from an NPC(didn't realize it at the time.)
+also being pick pocketed for the first time only to have my bag targeted and only having bandages and spell packets fro them to steal.
+FEAST
+The RP with trying to cheer up Kquildar and some others after
+The Elven holiday service: it was good to hear so many back story things brought up, for us new people, and hearing other characters that were around before we were in the game.  I learned a lot about certain PCs.
+Being told by Thomas that all wildmages were being forbidden from going to the howling void, so I didn't have to be over protective of a few people that were going.
+Going to low level Main mod and not being useless, as I buffed a bunch of people.
+getting dropped at main mod and the RP resulting in it( Rosa heals me, and I wait for her to bubble again before I start attacking the back line with my sword. They dropped me again, and one of the templars rots both my arms, and the other heals me. my ears popped as the one told me about taking this message to the town and I played it as the pain of my arms rotting away, and boomed.  I hit all of the NPCs and not a single PC.)^u^
+Hearing that most people thought my boom was one of the gods assisting the town in this fight.
+Being told to tell certain people in character about booming and "saving the  younger members of town"
+Buffing Thmoas for the rest of main mod after the ritual was started.
-not getting the hot chocolate we payed for.
+More sleep? (that couldn't have been right...)

Sunday:
+Offering to add bacon to the burgers in the morning. ( Collin McKraeger, you owe me three gold next time I see you ^u^ I didn't see you at your car before leaving my self)
+Helping Wolfegar learn Cold Fortitude, by casting Wild blade on Creed's sword
+the alchemy mod, and beign either at Illana's side or next to Alister the entire time(except when I went to make sure Klidon was alright.)
+ The return and spread of the Out of Character damage ( fun damage!)
+Realizing after I took off my character out fit that I was sweating the entire weekend, and that I had too many layers on to be cold.
+As I was changing people asking my Facebook, and the entire room jumping up and going "You're that guy!?"
+having a costume that was more than just black.  Thank you for the costuming help Adi!
+: highlights
-: lowlights
^u^

Lowlights:
Cold

Highlights:
- Elven Holiday - I sobbed for 45 minutes and I couldn't have done it with out all the people there. Kudos to everyone on the RP and making my "empathy" to people that much more believable....however my nose and eyes hurt after that.
- The danger of this month. I died twice...though I'd not like to make it a constant thing, it's good to feel afraid in a place that's suppose to be scary.
- Saturday spread. I'm happy that I got to make all the people, who last time made me feel totally out of place and rude for not bringing anything, the same way because they couldn't contribute.
- Healer mod. I wait to see where this ends up.
- Not knowing anything about the plot. This is kinda a lowlight too as I was fighting off a cold, and now have a worse cold, and so I was out of it and because of this I couldn't keep up with anything. But at the same time it's a highlight because sometimes I don't always have to know what's going on.
- Dying twice...okay, so this would be a lowlight to some. But to me it's part of the game and both were very fair and accurate deaths. I'm glad I only have to come out of the focus once.
- The look on Sam's face when I told him OOG that I died at the Howling Void cause he thought I didn't come with them.
- Talking with different PCs to find out what they thought of Caladonia and their Lord. *snicker*
- Having the RP this month, thanks to dying and other things, to solidify my choice for my next profession!


That's all I can think of right at this moment. I'm going back to bed!
