Well, another Origins has come and gone sadly, but I had a blast at this one. Thanks to everyone who made my experience such a great one (especially Henry, Clint, James, and Jimmy).
Playing Witch Hunter was a blast for me, especially getting the opportunity to play with one of my brethren and then ending with a module with personal connections to our characters. Not to mention, I thought the LARP was a blast. It was a smaller turn-out, but that just added to the fun. John, Melinda, and I still want to meet our others brothers/sisters, so give us a shout.
I got to play one Arcanis mod and judged another plus the BI. Had fun playing as always, but the BI writers always give me such fun toys to throw at the PCs. Some well-received, others not as much, but that's part of the fun
It's definitely interesting seeing some of the new Tier abilities and spells in action... even some we quickly learn need a little (or a lot of) adjustment.
I'd like to send a special thanks to the table I ran through one of the mods as well as the BI. They challenged me as a judge, did a lot of cool stuff to impress me, and didn't groan too much when my dice did their level damnedest to kill them (as Jimmy said when watching, "Your dice are on fire!")--Sean, Tony (I think, apologies if I got that wrong), Toni, Joe, Chris, and my sixth player whose character I remember but I'm spacing on the player's name at the moment after driving home and immediately working last night. I'm sure I'm still on their hated list right now, but I'd run for them anytime.
And I'm mad at Josh Elliott for being distracted by hockey instead of killing the Elorii PCs like we agreed... especially Kevin. Knife-ears is still breathing? You fail, sir!
