Positives & Negatives...
...abounded in the bringing out of the one type of character I never thought I would play as a PC. Drow required too much makeup, too much care and too thick a skin in order to make them viable for me.
In part, I was right. In others, I was wrong.
Firstly, the event itself was shaky at times but an overall success. It wavered due to indecision over what direction to take, but it had enough righting mechanisms that the players moved towards the resolution of the plot in a fairly smooth fashion, rather than randomly jumping forward with no coherence. The site was it's normal, beautiful self, remaining second only to JLW as my favourite site. The people were, for the most part, entirely well behaved and pleasant, and the resolution of the plot gave people a feelgood finish OOC and a very poignant moment IC.
All in all, really quite good, and worth doing again.
In terms of the new guy, ( long and involved, including a name spoiler. )
On a final note, the new guy's journal is going to be quite revealing, and give away a fair amount about the character, so while I don't normally hide my LJ from people, I'm willing to make an exception in this case. Far from asking if there are people who want in on the journal, I'm asking instead if there is anyone who specifically doesn't want to read his thoughts. If so, pipe up here and I'll make a filter (if there are only one or two who don't, though, I might ask you simply not to click on the cut).
