The schedule for this year's SLAW, the mini larp con at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, is up! It goes from Friady, November 21st to Sunday, November 23rd, and I will be running my larpy tabletop one-shot, The Bloom of May, on two occasions that weekend!

Yesterday I put on the fourth run of my narrative tabletop game, The Bloom of May, for a wonderful group made up of inwaterwrit, john_in_boston, pezzonovante, and phoenix_rinna.

So last night's run of the Fairfield tabletop game for the kiddies was a success. They all played very well, they seemed to get into their characters and came up with lots of interesting stuff to do to tell the story. I was proud of them and enjoyed running for them. I was also pretty happy with the story I came up with. It seemed sufficiently rich ( Read more... )

This morning I cleaned the house from top to bottom, flitting between the work and scribbling thoughts in my notebook for the one-shot tabletop game I'm running this weekend. I'm always surprised at how much this sort of life suits me. If only I didn't have to worry about that whole distasteful money issue. Anyone in the market for a housewife? I'm ( Read more... )
