DREAM PLOT

I had a dream about running The Stand last night. Only, as it always is when I dream about running larps, it wasn't exactly The Stand as it was supposed to be. I must have conflated it with Resonance in my subconscious, because I remember [livejournal.com profile] natbudin was helping me run it, and I was being worried that certain characters didn't have enough to do because other characters they needed to interact with weren't among the fifteen that ended up in the game, which would only happen if you mixed the two game formats.

I remember Dream-Nat having to NPC a giant, and run an expedition into a dungeon. Don't know where that stuff came from. Also, [livejournal.com profile] laurion was there, and though he was playing the character he is in fact cast as for the upcoming run, it... wasn't the character as written, so much. If I recall, Dream-Chad had gathered together a secret society and was trying to summon a demon. I don't believe it spoils anything to tell you that sort of thing just doesn't happen in this game. I mean, I guess anybody could TRY to gather a secret society and summon a demon in The Stand, but... ain't nothing going happen, partners. Ain't no vampires, aliens, superheroes, or time travelers in this here larp.

But what was interesting is that not all the dream-Stand was totally whacked. In fact, it contained at least one thing that wasn't in the game but actually was totally useable in it. The moment I woke up I knew the answer to something I hadn't quite figured out for a certain character. A plot came to me through the dream and I AM TOTALLY USING IT. That's pretty awesome. :-)

Haha, that is an awesome way to come up with plot for a game!

And, what, no vampires? Well, that rules out one possible casting for me ;)

I am totally going all demon-summoning in the game.

Blast. I should have known I'd just be giving you ideas.

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night from a LARP dream and thing, "wow, I should remember that." Usually, when I'm fully awake, I realize it's utter nonsense, but once or twice, I think, "hmm... actually... that's kind of interesting." Dream-inspiration is totally awesome. ^_^
