More Questing

Saturday's game was lots of fun, if kind of tiring. I was an NPC for the combat-heavy game, so I got in lots of fighting and tromping around. My other role was an 11 year old girl who was a hook for the missing boy plot. She was a lot of fun to play, and I found myself taking a very light and humorous approach to the role. Oddly enough, though, the PCs had a strange lack of engagement with the townsfolk - they helped find the missing boy, but there were several opportunities to interact with or get information from the townspeople that they missed. I guess it was because the town itself was relatively free of problems and plot. They were also less paranoid than I'd assumed they'd be after the last game. But as a non-liaison NPC, it's not like I was privy to a lot of what the PCs were thinking and planning.
Hanging out at the Athenian afterward was great, especially since it gave me an opportunity to see the people who were involved with the other game that ran in parallel. Damn daylight savings time, though - it meant that I got very little sleep Saturday night. On the other hand, the weather was quite pleasing - it was so nice to be able to go outside without immediately freezing my ass off.
