I was wiped out and I didn't realize just how wiped out I was until this morning. I'm still a little brain foggy. I was so wiped that I just couldn't make myself get out of bed until noon. I had to call in sick. I only really woke up around 1400 or so and made lunch. Well worth it though. I have learned that I suck at Diplomacy. The game that is and pretty much at the real life thing too. I really need to work at the negotiation thing. That game is a lot of fun, but gawd. My ld issues really become issues where it comes to knowing who to trust and who is outright lying to you. Vital in that game. I never realized how much that game was a Roleplaying game. You only think it's a board game. It's not, that board is there only for your convenience. That game is 99% RP. I must play this more, it's good therapy. The LARPs were great. I was too Larped out for the Sunday Paranoia LARP. I've never made one, I've always wanted to do one, but alas, I was doing good to stay awake for the AD&D game. Yea, a real live AD&D 2nd ed. game. For real! I haven't played that in years. Anyway, the cthulu LARP lasted until 4am. I lasted through the whole game without dying, but went stark raving mad. It was a good madness though. I have video from the Serenity LARP, it was fun too, but could have used more action. I'll process the video when I get time, possibly this week and post it up on youtube. I have to do some work on my own larp this week. I've made a lot of observations on how everyone runs their larps and now I am getting a good idea on how I'm going to work out the system for mine. It needs to be more actual skill based and not so reeve/keeper/ST heavy. LARPing should not be just table top gaming standing up and with costumes. It needs to involve actual physical skills. But I need this to be held in a hotel, so I need to curtail the physical action to some extent. Much to be done. I am still [...]
