Post event stream of consciousness
Well, I am not as tired or frazzled as I thought I would be after the weekend. By the time I ate, drove through hellish construction traffic, backed in the trailer and unpacked the bare minimum necessary it was already 11:15. After a shower I got to bed a bit before 12:00. Strangely I woke at 7:15 before my alarm feeling refreshed. I suspect it is because the deep sleep of someone who just ran an event on 8 total hours sleep is much more refreshing than the light tossing sleep I usually call rest.
I think my biggest regret for this weekend is that personal problems for Rick took him from us for this event. I am hopeful everything will work out for him. Sure we missed him but more importantly I would have liked him to see the fruits of his contributions to the game. The Madrigals were amazing and much coolness revolving around Joval had to be set aside. I guess I will contribute by sending my powerful psychic energies to Monique to make her better. Okay, barring that I will drop them a get well card.
Crap, I don't have his address? Okay, maybe a get well email.
The players and NPCs rocked this weekend. The players really stepped up for the end game in my opinion, deciding how to approach the final battle and stopping all four of Myrekiel's works. The outcome pretty much happened as I had hoped. We tried to get the newer players involved - both physically and emotionally - in the game. Time will tell how well we succeeded.
We had some concerns that the players would take our attempts to foreshadow future plots and conflicts as losses, but that didn't seem to be the case.
The Madrigal Staff just rocks. I can't say enough good things about them. They just work tirelessly to deliver, and there's no drama. They really work hard to give the PCs and NPCs fun, even at the expense of their own fun. The attitude towards the game is fantastic. The meetinga are even fun. I am psyched to continue into the next story arc.
Meanwhile all this has derailed my life and now I have to scramble to fix it. I have let stuff slip. Stupid things like the fact that my lawn is knee height. Every time I plan to mow the thing it rains. There's just a lot of day to day stuff to catch up on. It's crazy.
