Home from the Sea

We survived the convention, and the LARP was a success, though a disorganized mess of a success.  My freinds had fun, and I nearly passed out from laughter, so that was the important thing.  I'm honopred to know such brilliant, creative people.

I'm ready for a rest from conventions though; everything is heightened at a convention, emotions, relationships, drama.  Especially drama.  I guess the point of having a good time at a convention is to not let the drama control you, and in a sense, the apocalyptic daydreams I had before the con actually served me well.  But, I am ready to avoid drama for a while.

In other news, I have a few ideas I'm tossing around, LARPwise.  Something simple, fun, and yet dramatic.  *sigh*, and so it goes....

I'm disappointed to hear that there was drama, and I hope that despite it, you had a good time this weekend. I'm sorry I couldn't be there to share in it...dancingshaman's anecdotes as to what happened in the LARPS were hilarious!

It wasn't so bad- based on my experience with cons, I think I can safely say there will ALWAYS be drama of one sort or another, and the important thing is how one deals with it. In my case, I think I need to build up a more robust support system if I'm going to be running a LARP.

And yes, the players were hilarious; I had trouble at times adjucating, since I was literally falling down with laughter.
