Two Cam-UK-related questions...

(If you are not a Camarilla UK roleplayer, please ignore these!)

First the easy question: can anyone tell me anything about the Southern Regional Mage game? (Or the Changeling game, actually, but I can't do both.) I am interested in maybe going but it will be quite an effort as Robert is elsewhere, so I'd need to be pretty sure I'd enjoy myself. Any plot hooks, other character who will be around, great reasons to go, all welcome.

Secondly, the hard question: why do people seek out interaction with my characters so rarely? What am I doing wrong? I have a few thoughts but I want input.
