Musing on larps I could write

[breakinglight11]

Harrumph. I know I'm not supposed to be focusing on this, but I am feeling frustrated and restless, so I welcome anything that might relieve it a bit, and right now, I want to muse about larps and larp writing.

Currently my name is listed as author for six larps. They are, in chronological order, Alice, Oz, Paranoia, The Labor Wars, Resonance, and

Well, I am also planning to write a small game (maybe short, maybe not) with small, interactive environments, and I have a pretty definitive concept for it. But I get the sense that you want a game for you to write, not a game to help me write.

Short, limited spaces? Here are a few settings that you could base a scenario on:

Miners trapped in a mine.
Promgoers in a limousine, unexpected traffic.
Con-goers in line to see a guest of honor.
Kitchen staff at a restaurant.
Actors at a rehearsal.
Jury in deliberation (this one has been done before)
Native Americans in a sweat lodge.
Exotic creatures trapped in a giant peach. Nah, ridiculous.
Aboard Air Force One.
etc.

Any environment where people cannot, or overwhelmingly will not depart should give you the needed confinement. Situations where people cannot leave limit the environmental interactability though.

Actually, I like the actors idea. I like it a lot. I think I can do something with that. :-)

Thanks, Chad!!!

Actually Jabberwocky could be a really cool piece of drama. What does happen to Wonderland once there is no reliance or hope for someone to come and set things to right, and all you have are people as fucked up and twisted as yourself? Well...life is what happens. People discover what they are really capable of, how far they are willing to go. And possibly, some learn to find that lost hope in themselves. Because once the light of "good" is gone, all you have is darkness, and in that darkness eventually you start distinguishing shades of gray. A sequel to Alice doesn't have to be the same kind of story, or even in the same genre.
