Well that was... blustery.
I guess we should have expected it from Caledonia, but even so a day of constant rain followed by a day of tent-destroying gale force winds was quite pesky from a weather perspective. Also our tent is broken and I think I lost my (by this point old and somewhat blunt) swiss army knife somewhere in the chaos of dismantled command tents. Still, it was old, somewhat blunt and a bit gritty after spending six weeks buried in the school at the yard, so I guess a replacement may be in order.
I didn't enjoy the Moots as much as I was hoping to, not sure why, but I'm not sure I find Rules 3 agreeable. It seems like they've taken a lot of quirky stuff out of the game. I'm sure it makes it harder to powergame, but it also makes it harder to do the kind of funny and odd things that we have enjoyed in the past. I enjoyed monstering at Moot 1 and there was some pretty entertaining stuff going on at Moot 2 - Lizards, Tides and Crew are a good set of groups for hilarity in more or less any setting but did we enjoy it any more being at an LT major event than we would have if we'd all just been camping somewhere together anyway? I honestly couldn't say.
Also, my next character will probably be a human. Prosthetics and paint are hassley, as is the way masks accumulate moisture and then dribble it down your face as the day wears on.
