(larp) Points...

[keyboardninja]

In a conversation with someone about points on a sheet, I said:

In my experience, points on a sheet only affect two things
1) how big ST plots are
2) how many people come to your boot party

How you roleplay the character affects all the important stuff.

Not necessarily true either. Sure, if you're talking about a face-to-face combat to the death. But that lacks imagination. There are hundreds of ways to PvP against someone without the end being character death or a fair fight... or even having to be in the same room when the plan goes down.

Rants are way more fun when people are not throwing chops. I can't stand how roleplay in an awesome debate/argument completely dissolves once people have to stand around for 15 minutes while a few people create a time stop because they want to throw punches.

As to whether my sheets size impedes roleplay... well I'd like to think not, but being on this side of my sheet makes me admittedly biased.

I've noticed that it's usually the ones that aren't doing any of the talking that get bored and just start fighting because "every rant needs combat."

Our rant had combat. One challenge followed by two simples....

Just the way I like it.
