The weariness is now setting in. The last week and a half has been a mile a minute, and I'm sure you all know by now how much I hate it when I don't have time to myself due to the packed nature of my schedule.

Bernie has this theory that "recharge time," as he calls it, is different for you depending on whether or not you're an introvert or an ( Read more... )

Okay, play's over, Halloween's over, we're now into November. That means time to crack down on all the larp work for the upcoming events.

I basically have Oz cast, but I wanted to consult my co-GMs in the spirit of cooperation before I sent them out. This might be a little tough, given the constraints on everyone's time. But I'll give it one more ( Read more... )

Last night Bernie, Matt, and I got together for dinner to discuss plans for editing Paranoia in preparation for the upcoming WPI run. The most important thing we accomplished was to go over the casting questionnaire and the world bluesheet and get them sent out to players; I've very pleased with the edits we made. We've even got three of them back ( Read more... )

So, as it turns out, I am in demand for more than just WPI Live Action Weekend. I got contacted by Nick Milano from RPI last night asking if I would bring games to the weekend he's trying to put together in Troy, exactly one week after the one at WPI. I am quite flattered to be asked, and I'm tentatively interested, but there's a couple of things I ( Read more... )

I have now bid Oz and Paranoia for WPI Live Action Weekend, as I believe it is officially called. After serious consideration, I have decided against bringing Alice. As much as I want to run it again for the people who've missed it, I don't think this is a good venue for it. As a GM I can see the preliminary schedule for the weekend, and there are ( Read more... )

So I recently recieved an e-mail from ( Read more... )

If the next two weeks don't kill me, I'll know I can do anything.

Alice character sheets are out. Reactions have been positive so far, though I haven't heard from everyone. Special thanks to Jared for the care he put into casting with me, by which I mean "not letting my tired ass just throw people wherever 'cause I wanted to go sleepy-bye."

I sent ( Read more... )

Now that Midsummer is through, I am set to being a larp writing machine. I plan on sending out Alice sheets shortly, and I am laboring to finish the world bluesheet for Oz. With any luck, that will go out today. The character sheets will then follow. I'm also planning on organizing a casting meeting with my fellow Paranoia GMs. That game doesn't ( Read more... )

Well, after a long night and some very serious thinking, Jared and I have cast Alice. This was by far the most difficult casting we've ever had for this game, because lots of people seemed to app for the same handful of characters. But we worked really hard, and I think we gave everyone somebody they will enjoy. I'm very proud of us for the care ( Read more... )

So Festival signups started a couple nights ago. As you all my know, I'm currently running three games, all of my own or partially my own creation-- Alice, my baby, Oz, my new one, and Paranoia, a collaboration with several friends ( Read more... )
