Game of Empire report
Well, we are finally finished with Game of Empire, my third weekend-long larp. I enjoyed the experience overall and find it to be a fairly good game. My character was one of the most straight-up villainous in the game, and so kind of set up from the beginning to fail. Still, my total lack of effectiveness at accomplishing my goals did not keep me from enjoying myself overall. The company helped-- I was part of a group of interaction with jh1230, lightgamer, witticaster, kamianya, rigel, usernamenumber, and turbinehubcaps. As always, natbudinand zrealm are excellent GMs, and Nat and I had a nice out of character coversation besides. Plus a number of interesting non-Brandeisians both new and old were around to spice things up. Glad as I was to have had a good time, I was even gladder that Jared enjoyed himself. He kind of predicted his character's fate early on, and he was in fact killed part way through, but he was recast as a character he really got into, so all was well. Noah was my lieutenant, so we worked together quite a bit. I'm finding I really enjoy his company and I'm glad he seems to want to be part of the gaming community. It occurs to me that the only two larps he's been in have been weekend long, which really are different experiences from four-hour games. Many people, actually, state a weekend-long game was their first real larping experience. I personally prefer the shorter ones, so I'd be curious how his feeling about larps changed after he'd played in that kind.
Seeing such a strong team of GMs, by the way, as usual, makes me want to run more things myself. I sent out the Alice hints, and the sheets should come out as soon as I make some minor edits to two who got a little bit of a plot overhaul. I've been working most of today on homework I blew off for the weekend, but I want to get that done as soon as possible.
