Terra Incognita

[smokingboot]

After a couple of weeks’ break, the Vampire campaign resumed last night, full of vibrant colour and twisty-bendy. Once again I find myself comparing table-top role play and LARP, and finding myself actively preferring TT. It’s not even the physical convenience, it’s the conquest of imagination over Eye (and I). Kit and a field full of campers is fun in a less intense way. As a roleplaying exercise, I find LARP’s not about creativity as much as it is about resourcefulness, about using what you’ve got. Though it’s perfectly viable and I enjoy it, my preference is to bimble around the landscapes of other people’s minds, haplessly falling into plot pot-holes. Of course, it could be that I am just very lucky with my TT refs!

Other subjects: The dentist finally got back to me. He has found a dentist who will use gas. In Bolton.

I never missed London so much as when I heard this. Bolton? For a fecking dentist?

I’ve clearly fallen off the edge of the map.

as long as it didnt suck!!! i was worried about it, and how silly am i, i was kicking my self about such a naff curse all night, :) ill just blame the fact i only had one minute to make it up.


as for falling asleep, i had a narcoleptic (sp?) player in my group, it was actually quite cool, cos i just made his character narcoleptic as well, when he fell asleep ooc, his character fell asleep IC no matter what was going on. it sounds weird but it got very amusing at certain points !!!

You really doubted it? At the risk of getting a virtual tongue stuck out at me, I have to tell you how bizarre your doubts are! The curse was great! I don't think days of pondering would have made it any better. It felt so fairy and folklore-ish (is that a word?) And you creating it within a minute has only sealed my determination never to ref you! You're just daunting!
