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.

Tcha! This liberal attitude of yours will get us nowhere! We must land all the blame squarely on the dark,leather-winged shoulders of Satan and Mephisto (I don't pretend to know which is which) We wouldn't be in this mess if they were normal GMs instead of Princes of the Pit!]:-)
