The past few months have been just an incredible blast. I don't know how Howland and Dan managed to convince me to come back to NWN after six years, but I am glad and grateful to them that they did. This was going to be one last stint, and I think it became the best one.
Alice Fairclow was quite an experience to create, play, develop and just watch, as she grew, expressed herself, and changed. I can honestly say that she took on a life of her own, and I'm very pleased about that.
I want to thank and express my love for the many fantastic players here, just blowing me away with their skill, imagination, wit and kindness. I'm afraid that I will forget to mention someone, but I especially want to express my affection for the Meme, Fitzwilliam, Stranger, Alpha, Dina, Caster, VP, Hound, Darius, Jastra, Zarquon, Wundy and the players of Velathyl and Velathia.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's the PCs of the aforementioned players that I had the most fun with and came to enjoy the most. I won't bother to list them, you know who they are, but let me emphasize how much I loved those characters and enjoyed every second of being in hearing range of them. Claire Chambers, with whom Alice also had an unhealthy obsession ICly, is by far my favourite PC in all my time in NWN. (Closely followed by MALEVIA CINDERSCOURGE, with whom I regret not getting to interact more and whom I have had to admire from afar!)
I want to thank the DMs for their kindness and supportiveness, especially given that I am officially the most mechanically worthless player in the history of EfU ... You told some amazing stories and helped Alice along in some fantastic directions, which I am bitterly disappointed I won't be able to explore. I wish I'd been able to see Alice's story through to its proper ending, but ... her WIS was too low to stay away from permadeath capers with the Linderils. >___>
I especially want to thank SanTelmo, Ironside and Samophlange. And above all I want to thank Howland for creating this dark, magnificent edifice of a setting -- Ymph, the Archipelago, and Dunwarren -- which has, to my repeated surprise, stimulated and spurred some of the most intense and colourful bursts of creativity I've ever been seduced by, this summer just as all those years ago.
I am so glad I got to experience this particular setting of Dunwarren, which was entirely new to me. Many of you have been playing it it for many years; I can't tell you how wondrous and exciting it is to discover for the first time, however.
It's going to be difficult weaning myself off the addiction of EfU, and winding that creativity back down to non-insomniac levels. And I'm going to miss you all, and your PCs, terribly.
I wish I had taken more screenshots. So many amazing interactions, dialogues, and strange, funny, unexpected, creepy and sweet situations that deserved to be documented. Months of incredible RP!
This is all I got:

Sanctuary endures! (Just don't seize power over it on Hammer 23rd; it's bad luck!)
