I want to thank everyone for coming. Everyone did a nice job working with us on logistical issues such as the crazy walk to npc camp. (will be fixed.) We had some false starts for our first Winterhaven event, but it turned out to be everything we could have hoped for.
I want to thank everyone for cleaning up. The cabins were spotless, and the Hannah House was picked up well. Also you smokers did 100% what we asked. There were no butts ANYWHERE and I was looking. The Park Rangers were very impressed.
If you could take the time, please drop us a note here, or at Winterhavenlarp@gmail.com and give us a little back.
We are working on a winterhaven forum, and website, and they should be ready soon.
Winterhaven - First event ever. Thanks.

There were about 14 characters, and 5 were new. We had three nero guys who loved it, and two people that are friends of ours showed up.
I think the vast majority of the players played their existing FH characters, with a couple of exceptions.
Two of the new guys vowed to come to FH, and to return to winterhaven.
We had a HUGE NPC staff of nearly 9 people, including the GMs which made for the event.
We enjoyed putting on a huge cave. We had it entirely indoors in a giant dining hall.
Hopefully Some PC's will give a little more detail.

Event Review
My name is Seth and I was one of those new players 
I had to leave mid event due to picking up wife in chicago and couldn't make it back. Which bummed me out.
Just had to say I had a great time. It was very nice to meet a group of larpers that welcomed people. You guys made newbies feel very welcome out of game. It was great meeting everyone
The cave set up was really cool and you guys chanting in the background as a "ritual" or whatver was goin on made it very spooky and brought a very big smile to my face. I love the cave set up it was awesome. Thank you for taking the time to set all that up.
After running games for so many years it was great being able to know absoulelty nothing about the plot and the puzzle was really cool to unlock the "magic barrier"
I wish I could have stayed longer and I definatly plan on being back

We are REALLY glad to hear that you plan on joining us again. A lot of people wondered what happened and were asking where your character went. You really made an impression 
We look forward to seeing you again!
We look forward to seeing you again!

Im sure they thought of me as the crazy guy
But I got about 2 hours of sleep then I left and picked up my wife from chicago she was working there. Then it took us almost 8 hours to get home because of an accident (I think) on I-90. By the time that was all done I was too wiped to come back to the event. I was too worried about falling asleep at the wheel as I was so dead tired by the time we got back.I'll definatly be back
Got to defend those people from the pirates And I got to make that dwarf a Lord he just doesnt know it yet Seth

I had a good time (minus Crazy amounts of "travel time" Thank You Khal for your Dwarven pony!!) The "long walk" Sat after noon was a killer!
Caves were scary! Loved Sat night the best! Cool effects!! All the whispers and suggestions really made it fun to role play. The small group PC's was cool because it gave us a chance to get to know some of the other players a bit better. We had to stick together (for the most part) to "make it".
I wasn't going to be able to go....I worked very hard (with all the changes in the dates)to be at the first WH event. Was not able to be there at "game on" and had a stipulation that I was to be home early. It was worth it to be there.... I'm hoping to be at the next one...
Crazy Sally was great Sat night and the Fisherman (just call me Curly) Made things interesting. I want to also thank Sheamus for his help Sat night!! We could not have accomplished what we did without his help.
Looking forward to seeing the new guys again.... they were kind of quiet (except for Vack but he was hilarious!)

Awesome job guys!!! I came to this event with high expectations because of the performance you gave when you gm'ed a Final Haven event and I was not dissapointed:) the roleplaying from both pcs and npcs was outstanding. The way you showed versatility in adapting the plots and senarios to the pcs actions was very well done. Kudos to you all:)
*Gulp* Errr.. you caught me with yer wife? Err... which time? Errr... wait just a durned fool minute. Me wasn't with yer wife ye crazy loon, Me spent de whole event chasing that tasty looking new Drow Lady. Trying to work out what me pappy be calling interracial diplomacy:) j/k
It was great roleplaying with everyone and great to meet Vrack and the others who came. Vrack I applogize if i came off abit gruff to your comments of Lord Kahl, but please understand that this was my first real rolplaying that I have done and was not sure what the proper way to deal with comments like that (and still not sure lol) It was easy to see how experienced you are at this and I guess I was afraid of making a fool of myself and not measuring up in the others eyes. It was a riot though.
Allright, I do have some hopefully constructive criticizims to give as the gm's have asked for it:) One obviously was the amount of walking entailed ( Oh Thank God ) you let us use my Magical Dwarven Pony
Second was that I feel for the great setup and unfolding you did of the baby Doomworm plot, that the actual slaying of the worm was a bit anti-climatic. It was nice that the damage was one of the only straight damage calls of the game but it would of been nice to have say for an example a single breath weapon use of like an acid spray. This would of made us feel more heroic I believe that just the ritual hacking apart of the worm. Lastly, It seemed that the damage calls for this event were excesive to a degree. I think the worm was one of the only straight damamge calls of the event. Everything else felt like it was 2 vorpal, 2 disease, or 2 vorpal poison etc. If I had gotten a nickel for every moster damamge call like that I could have paid for everyones event:) It may be just my inexperienced uptake on the calls showing through, but it felt like it was a little too much.
I had a great time and you can count on me on being a permenant comer to Winter Haven as well as Final Haven now. Thank you all for giving us another chance to play more, and in such a enjoyable setting as what you have created.
