A guest contribution about the various ways that we can help (and hurt) our larp communities.
If you're reading this, no matter who you are, there is something terribly important that you must be made aware of immediately....
... the power to create game experiences.
... the power to change the course of the game.
... a power to manipulate how things are perceived, received, and more.
You wield this power every single day - often without even knowing it. It's a radiating aura that travels with you wherever you go, and all who so much as tangentially touch your existence are influenced by this power. For that reason, it is inherently dangerous for you - yes YOU (myself included) - to make any contact with other larpers. Why danger?
We each have the power of creation, influence, and perception, but note that it is in the most neutral sense of the words. For example, if we have the power to create "good" game experiences, so too do we have the power to create "bad" ones. Ignorance of this duality of our inherent power is the most dangerous part of the equation! Yet every day, we each go out into the world, interact with one another, and life and the game plays out according to how we're wielding our power. The results are the cocktail that makes up your larp community.
