Planet LARPA

Earlier today:

L: Did you hear that cracking sound?
M: No, it was probably just ice falling off the roof.

A few minutes ago:

L: [Explitive]. The peach tree in our back yard fell down and has damaged the fence.
M: Ah, that would explain the cracking noise you heard earlier.

Luckily, it has not both damaged the fence and our house or the neighbor's house.

Unluckily, we will will have to do something about this.

Hey internet larp writing audience,

Have you ever deliberately introduced a continuity error into your LARP? You know, where two -- or more -- different characters remember the same event differently, or character a thinks they are character b's best friend, but a isn't listed in b's sheet at all. That sort of thing?

And I'm talking about a deliberate difference here, not characters misremembering in character. Have you ever put one into game just to see what happens? It's so rare to really experiment with that sort of thing. How did it go?

I have put in misrememberings, and I always make it a point to tell the players out of character that they different memories were deliberate and they need to try to reconsile them in game. But this time I am deliberatly putting in differences in continuity to see how it goes. It's only one minor point and it shouldn't affect plot, but we shall see, won't we?

I'll report back after the game, but I'd like to hear other people's experiences.

This is the second article in a three part series on doing your homework. The first article can be found here for those who may want to look back at it. It focused on what things creator...

Announcing the First and Last Ever Annual BreaKey Tournament.

Let me know if you want to play by leaving a comment below or dropping me an e-mail.

The thumb drive can sometimes be quirky with my computer. And by quirky I mean corrupt files. I lost Xander and Buffy and have to rewrite from scratch.

Or more exactly, a winner is Teem.

"Tell me you want it," demanded Twiki, almost angrily. He stood at the foot of the bed, his cruel eyes gazing at the helpless form tied spread-eagled to the motel bed.

"I want it," sobbed Galen Tyrol. He was face down, the ropes were cutting into his wrists and ankles, his face was red with embarrassment and shame, and there was a tricorder stuck in his ass. But his every pore screamed with pleasure, and a hungry need for the pleasure yet to come, even when it was so very wrong.

Twiki started to stroke his erect Cobra, but there was no need -- hungry with desire, it stood tall like a tardis. Almost instantly, the two of them became one. Even as pleasure screamed like a barreling freight train through every pore, the shame poured forth and filled both their nostrils. Thrusting in frenzy, Twiki yelled, "Say it!"

"No!" whimpered Galen Tyrol.

"Say it! You know you want to, you funky lemur!"

"I fail to floss!" The words filled the air and mixed with the sweat, rutting heat and shame, and an orgasm that would not be denied. Finally, they stopped, both covered in Romulan ale. Galen Tyrol was weeping quietly. All Twiki could do was awkwardly pat his shoulder.

Suddenly, a voice cried from the motel bathroom. "Hey!" yelled Speed Racer. "You guys going to pee on me or what?"

Also, just to note, Slash now needs another player. You can sign up at http://www.interactiveliterature.org/J/index.php The character is female, but I'm ok with cross casting if you are.

I have ganked this contest from Topless Robot, so blame them.

I need the following. The best collection in my opinion will be inserted into the horrible slash fan fic I shall present here tomorrow.

Presenting fan fic so bad it made my UPS die and shut off my computer. No, really.

I can only aspire to this level of wrong in Slash. Text NSFW.
