Shattered Legacies Event 2
Sep. 6th, 2010 04:23 pmThere was an event.
Oh boy. There was an event, alright.
We'll neatly dodge the froth on direct IC happenings and step sideways a little instead.
( On Event Premise )
I never really expected I'd actively enjoy reffing - I'd always figured it was a great sacrifice, a painful bitter pill that someone has to swallow in order to allow others to have fun. Not so. It is a genuine pleasure to watch encounters unfold - to watch those daring heroes struggle to overcome monstrous odds that you, personally, have pitted against them. One genuinely gets pulled into the scene, even while watching from afar, and moments of epic heroism or dastardly genius draw big grins and triumphant air-punches from we invisible observers. We received glowing reports from our magnificent, tireless crew on quality of roleplay and general atmosphere, even in combat - and they're right. The players roleplay their hits and fight epically, viewing combat as a delicious part of the IC experience. They remain in character all the time - not once did I hear an OOC comment or drop that had not been warranted by safety or circumstance. They engage with the game world and tirelessly devour everything we throw at them, begging for more despite barely being able to stand, let alone fight. What more could you ask for?
In short, there was an event. It succeeded beyond our wildest expectations. Our players are awesome. Our crew are staggeringly wintastic and I am praying we get a similar turn-out next year (23 players vs 22 crew...wow.)
I now can't wait for next term to start...
