larp larp larp
Sep. 30th, 2002 06:45 pmThis weekend was very LARP heavy. Saturday morning I spent a long time with Josh and
tpau hammering out details for our Intercon game, which had been semi-disjointed and is now much more solid. Then Josh left to go do some roleplaying elsewhere, and the two of us went to the Intercon board meeting, where we discussed important logistical issues that are, well, tedious but necessary, I guess. We also talked about the LARP 5 of the 8 of us were going to the next day.
So, Sunday a whole bunch of people I know played in Broadway's on the Rocks, with a Twist. I don't want to say much about it, but fun was had. Then afterwards I got into a lengthy discussion about the nature of roleplaying with a number of people, which left me mulling over what my expectations are from a LARP, and why I am frequently dissatisfied. I came to a few conclusions: I usually want a particular type of roleplaying that doesn't always fit with the writers' style, I am especially put out when what I get is not what was implied, and I am a generally cynical person.
