Something has just occured to me.
When I asked at the de-brief if Jarane's death was a 'planned assasination' - I meant just that. Not for one moment did I feel the death itself was planned by the writers, I simply thought someone clever might have pushed the right buttons at the right tme to get Jarane to die.
The importance of motivation for action rather than inaction
I had that explicitly written on my character sheet, although I think it was the Black Goat-headed doodah with a Thousand Young talking to me at the time.
You're good at hitting the nail on the head. "The importance of stories, of endings."
Until you said it I couldn't place what it was that defines the best LRP experiences for me and that's it - stories with endings. Until this weekend Omega LRP was on it's own as the most outstanding of experiences for me. That too had the feel of a story and it was concluded after a not insignificant period of time. Fortunately for my character this time it was a happy ending!
and for the record Jarane was the only Queisitor I would have got off my ass for. I absolutely would not have killed him deliberately in this or any way. I do however wish I had thought of it as a concept.
for me Harry you are some of my many high points and not just "I made poo" but out and out laughing with genuine joy and me telling you I had emptied the bourse.

My money was on Penan.

happy days, sad but satisfactory endings

He'd have made an excellent Primus, but I needed the leverage to push Cadamon.
