So this weekend, natbudin, laura47, and Peter wanted to do their own personal little version of Iron GM, where you write a 2-hour, 12-person larp in 24 hours based off of a genre, a theme, and an element that is given to you at the very start of the writing period. lightgamer and I brainstormed these for them and came up with ghost story, hunger, and nursery rhymes, which ( Read more... )

My first game of the weekend was Saturday morning, Midsummer Mischief run by captainecchi and electric_monk.

Saturday was a lovely trip to King Richard's Faire with Bernie and lightgamer. I haven't been to a Renaissance Fair in years, so I was very excited to do this. I'm really glad we ended up doing it when we did, as the rest of my weekends are booked up until my death. ;-)

First of all, I like the atmosphere. I'm always so impressed to see the fairgrounds for ( Read more... )
