I'm home, I'm slept and I'm significantly less green. My legs still don't work all that well but I put that down to repeatedly running up and down that hill all weekend.
( Cut for length, 'let me tell you about my character' and possibly a tiny bit of minor and now irrelevent FOIP )
All in all, awesome event. Fantastic mix of intrigue, violence and politicking. The plot was interesting and while eventually coming to kick you in the arse, never felt too intrusive - there was space for plenty of other stuff as well. I also get the feeling that things could have gone a completely different way if we'd pushed other buttons. The general feel is that you're given a sandbox to play in, and the plot comprises buckets, spades and bricks that you are free to push around as you see fit - it's up to you whether you smack yourself or someone else in the face with them.
It amuses me greatly that the majority of the same group ended up dying to the same orks and being dragged to the same tent and eaten for food, as per last time. Haha. Now I need to work out what I'm doing next...I have a feeling it'll be elf-shaped, but very differently elf-shaped.
