LARPcast!

This blog is primarily about PCs, and LARPcast centers around staff and game-design. However, it's important not to forget the NPCs that make a game run. The LARPcast team answers some questions has a good post about how to effectively play an NPC. Check it out!

What are your experiences, good, bad, and ugly, with NPCing? Consider, especially, character development. Have you ever had a character that should have been boring but was absolutely fantastic? What about a character that was beautifully written, but fell flat?

Enjoy the (hopefully) long weekend! I'm up in Maine, visiting farms and stuff, and will post when I return!

LARPcast, Plans, and Ideas-- Please Comment

Plans? One week in, and we're strong. I have a lot of submissions right now. Mostly from Madrigal people, though Lost Eidolons is helping. There is great private discussion going on in LARP communities. (Not because of me.) I want it to continue.

Tomorrow, we finish up Mira's wonderful non-fiction work on being new. Then more GrumCo from Rowan and Zephyr. Afterwards, me and a LARPcast response.

I will soon be posting on LARPcast, a podcast run by Mickey and Bill. I will probably comment on their most recent one (commercialization), or perhaps the blog dedicated to media. (I am with Bill on merchandise for LARPs. On media, I disagree with almost the entire thing. What do you want to hear? Agree with Bill? Disagree with Bill? Ignore Mickey entirely? I don't know yet.) LARPcast is good, great, and admirable. Go listen, and think.

I want your thoughts. I want your submissions. Non-Madrigal people-- GET INVOLVED.
