Terra Incognita

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.

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!
