The main withdrawal symptom from LARP writing...
... is mostly that the ideas start coming to you whether you want them or not.
I *cannot* bid a game for Intercon N -- there is still way too much on my plate for the next six months for it to be sane. But it looks like I am likely going to write one for Intercon O: it hit me square-on yesterday, and it's already about half-designed. (Massage appointments turn out to be excellent for this sort of thing.) It's way out of my usual wheelhouse -- my games are always Fantasy/SF and/or humorous, whereas this one is *very* real-world and dark.
But it's too timely to ignore, and it looks likely to be a good, intense game. So for 2015, I suspect I will be writing A Respectful Calm...
