Maelstrom - No refunds

Things to do for next event:

• Hobnob with other groups of natives
• Tell war stories
• Kill some Flembic
• Prevent end of the world.

Probably in that order. 

Also

• More friendly wagers
• Experiment with drugs.  I want to do this though, nit my character.  My character would quite willingly volunteer as a test subject but would only scientifically experiment with drugs
• Find more stories
• Dig out some IC songs

So, it seems that Maelstrom is ending at the end of next year, to be replaced by a new game.  End of the world...  Hmm...  Should be fun.  Don't think my character is an apocalypse cultist fun though that would be.  Will have to fight the end of the world.  Or take nayela's suggestion and try to end the world on a song.

Had a rather good time at the game, even though I didn't actually do that much, aside from preventing people from getting kille (100% success rate).  Having worked out my back story probably helped the enjoyment

Borrowed a nice flamethrower/blunderbus combo.  Attacked another camp, hobnobbed with some natives.  Told stories.  Shot at people.  It's a good group.  It's also fun confusing people by being a slightly different variant of a religion they know about.  Had some in character hot chocolate!  Yum!  Out of character decent coffee!!  Yumyum! 

Turns out the attack on Frieboden was a huge success, having clobbered a large chunk of their research capability.  Not sure if tha was the inent.  Am of the opinion that the wolves weren't used effectively.  Will have to discuss tactics.  Will have to join the Gerosos board.  Will have to find it.

Was asked to tell a story.  I gave them a bit of fanfic I wrote for the previous event.  Need more stories, especially ones about success through hard work and not cheating people. 

Gave nayela and lordofthewheel a lift home.  Horrible traffic on M40.  Where were all these people on the M40 going?  They couldn't all have been at Maelstrom!

Strom - also...

Bought myself a new sword.  Think it may need a better scabbard.  Having a lot of weight at the back is great both for swinging and pulling blows, but the balance point is pretty much at the guard.

Goggles are great to have when sitting round a camp fire. 

Tinted goggles are great to have during intermittent sun.

The parsnip wine I brought went down well.  One or two people decided they'd avoid it.  will have to try something wlese a little bit weird for the next event.  Maybe nettle but that's a little too common. 

Shame I'll not be at the next event but have already boooked for Eastercon and am looking forward to that.

Didn't talk to everyone I wanted to.  Oh well.

Empire:  Opinions seem to be "Game of thrones - the LARP", "Yet Another Generic Fantasy", "I've seen details and it's a really cool syste," and "Need more information".

Maybe I should start hitting on all the other races.
