Changeling was great fun last night, everyone was really into the game and we sussed out the story and most importantly my character was cool.
No, I jest...that wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was that everyone was working together to complete the goal and there was awesome roleplaying and it felt like Changeling again. I really like the Shadows of Yesterday system now that I understand it. I adore the one roll resolution of conflict and I love how quickly fights work using that system.
Seriously though, my character Izzy Starlight did some cool things last night. It helped that Svend was rolling way bad for the mooks but I did some kick-ass stuf. My favourite moment was going into my bedroom, NOT being surprised by the assassin behind the door and quickly disarming him then beating him with my coat rack.
I also liked the not-quite-so-impressive moment of asking my childling ward if she'd be warm enough going out in the middle of the night and did she want to borrow anything?
She asked if I had any shawls?
Oh yes, what colour?
Rainbow?
Here. (The neat thing about this character is that she works at Supre - to combat the massive banality of the place. Of course that also means she's a fashion plate and shawls are in fashion, so....)
Maybe that's not cool to anyone else but I enjoyed it immensely.
Tonight I'm having dinner with the Awards committee people. Should be great fun. Still require more sleep though. I blame it on how it's being winter now.
