I intend to play both systems. Considering that last year I spent two months doing BUST rehearsals all day Saturday (Which may not be as physical as BLADES, but they were certainly exhausting in their own way.) and LARPing on Sunday it's certainly possible to do two things at once.
And you think it will undermine BLADES by being on the day before, but think that day is a really bad day for LARPing. If that's the case you have nothing to worry about. *g*
The map is only a shaky guideline, drawn by aged elves, who've never really been to the area they are describing. The borders are always shifting, due to encroaching Orc tribes, or outgoing expeditionary forces. It's primary function is to limit the arguments about the distance to the capital. (Like the one at least year's campaign selection, that went on for the best part of half an hour.) If the GMs really want a setting not available in the Duchy (Which is a big and varied place), they can always set their game in No Mans land, another Duchy or on a different plane entirely. As always, the possibilities are limited only by imagination.
I was looking forward to your campaign. I hope you change your mind, considering that the two people instigating this have both left BLADES (And never intend to return.)
Well, i wasn't worried - until it's now implied that it's going to use University grounds to start from, then the SSI National Trust site... Probably without permission.
Hell, I could have a half hour arguement of whether there's a capital of the Barony at all. There wasn't, until a GM took something they thought they knew and wrote about it. Then we were able to absorb it, and roll with it. A Map, however loosely designed, limits.
