Went to SLAW at WPI this past weekend, and I am glad. For a while I was worried adding it to my already huge workload was a bad idea, particularly when it looked like Paranoia was not going to fill, but it was a really good time. I played in two games, both on Saturday, in addition to running Paranoia with the team,

The first was The Other Side of ( Read more... )

SFS Live Action Weekend, or SLAW, the home larp con of WPI, is rolling around again this November! A very fine schedule has been posted, spanning from the night of Friday, November 15th to Sunday, November 17th. I (and hopefully as many of my esteemed co-writers as are available) will be running Paranoia: Research and Dismemberment, that Sunday. ( Read more... )

Sarah Judd is being a wonderful and proactive con organizer and calling for everyone to bid larps for SFS Live Action Weekend, which will be happening at WPI this November. If you would be so kind as to offer to bring something, here's the information I received from Sarah ( Read more... )

Saturday night was Folding the River, the newest game from powerhouse writing team wired_lizard and mllelaurel. I am at the point where I'll sign up for a game based on who wrote it more than anything else, so I jumped on this. It took place in a world rebuilt after basically a cataclysm on a strange new source of power. I was playing a scientist who had discovered some ( Read more... )

Festival signups opened last night, and the flurry for game registration began! As I predicted, Jesriah filled within the first few minutes, but I was fast on the button and made it in. Glad I made that my first-round pick. Congratulations, morethings5, lightgamer, and ninja_report! You win the brass ring for this Festival. The tiered system I think is really good, as nobody will ( Read more... )

Our lovely Festival con chair ninja_report just sent out the preliminary schedule for Larpocalypse. It looks to be a very good con. Shannon looks to have balanced the schedule nicely, meaning there should be a good variety of games in every time period with an appropriate number of slots. And she and natbudin have arranged to have tiered signups-- as in, one signup ( Read more... )

So with Intercon now officially one week away, I take stock my of position in regards to my larp life.

In pretty decent shape for Intercon given the amount of time that remains. All my costumes are assembled; I even printed out my chest symbol for my Super Villain outfit. Yesterday I packed away as many items as I could that I would need to take but ( Read more... )

( Back from SLAW, as they were calling it, and I feel very good about what I did. )

Had the day off today, but still, very busy. Today included running errands for Jared, getting the last costume piece I needed for the weekend, finalizing Oz, and working on the last major task left for Paranoia.

Almost ready for SFS Live Action Weekend. Costumes are chosen, only must be packed. Oz is pretty much finished. Paranoia is extremely ( Read more... )
