Madrigal Highlights

So this past weekend was the Madrigal season opener. I invite everyone to share their highlights, comments in general, and that sort of thing. A huge thank you to the staff and NPCs that made it all possible.

To get things rolling...

I really enjoyed the Fenric/blood spirits/grove plot arc. Up until this event, it had been an engaging, if somewhat straightforward, narrative. However, this event, identities and plot twists were revealed that, I believe, shook players engaged with the plotline. It was simply an example of fine writing, good acting, and, maybe most importantly, a well-paced plotline (in other words, the staff member didn't immediately reveal the most surprising plot points too soon).

Spotlight on Mirror, Mirror: Highlights

So the Mirror, Mirror Revel, the first of its kind (I believe), has come to an end. It was a huge success, and, despite the mucky ice-sludge, very fun. I invite PCs, NPCs, and staff alike to share their highlights in the comments. Looking forward to the LARPing season here in Accelerant land.

(Tomorrow, as brains defuzz, I'll post an excellent guide to PELs that comes from experienced LARPer Beth F. of Madrigal, Endgame, 7V, and other LARP fame. It may be a useful tool for newer/rusty PEL writers.)

I'll start with my personal favorites:

Discussions with Wiv and Whispers on the ethical merits of being a neutral Death Aspect. Also, Wiv's perspective on reading and literacy was highly entertaining. And it explains a lot.

Asking the Cursed Lord about the feasibility of meeting some dark fae in the Cursed Forest. Judging by his response, I can't help but think he was slightly amused.
