Submission: On the intricacies of moving from tabletop to live-action
I recently wrote on the fine art of introducing new characters to an established game. In that post I mentioned the importance of making sure that lifetime tabletoppers understand the nuances of live-action gaming. It seems commonsensical, but many of these points are really important for everyone's enjoyment. Tabletop games and LARPs are as different as manticores and pegasi: while both are chimerical, their aims and preferences are a genus apart. So, if your dedicated RPGer has decided to join your band of Merry Men, make sure they understand the implications of a live-action game.
