ok, I don't want this to be a slight to anybody I don't mention or forget to mention but there were a handful of things that went on during the Origins convention that were just too cool to not post for everybody not there to be a bit jealous about. (yeah, I'm looking at you, Grace)
Best Line: John's fhideli gets this one. After Doctor Miguel got particularly effective during a fight, John blurts out, "Jack the Ripper was a doctor too."
Best character schtick: this one is going to Corporal Marco. Every time Marco and his allies defeat a group of henchmen, brutes or whatever, Marco starts pushing them to sign enlistment papers.
Best use of out of character talents: Orianna wins this hands down. The lass stopped a whole room of gamers by breaking into song at the table. And it was awesome.
The hero I want at my side: Steve's character Alejandro (1). Mostly because I have fun playing off of Steve but also because I know he is one of the few players Mark will target as fast as he aims at me.
Worst idea ever: Riding Pigs. not gonna assign blame for that one, I think Mark set them up.
Best new character: Tie between all of you. We did not see a single lousy character this year. except...
Character that least embodies "Heroes of Altamira"; GM Mark's vodacce who keeps trying to enlist with the bad guys. Mark, it's called HEROES of Altamira.
Player that seemed to be loving it more than me: most of you looked to be having a good time but one guy had a smile on his face all weekend and reminded me the most of why we do this. Thank you, Tim. Your enthusiasm is the sort of thing I literally live on during the con.
Player I was most relieved to see show up: Amanda. She was the first new player to show up needing a character and thus the first player I have had as a GM in this campaign. Can't start a game without a player. Bonus points for selecting a pirate and being fun to have at the table.
Last guy I should be paired with: Chris and his character Erik. The two of us together can do a lot of chaos to a session. And it will be a ton of fun.
Best session: the playtest for episode 6. you are all in for a wild, wild session next year.
