Live Game 2010 walkdown

[cyrano]

Coyote stands triumphant, bitches. Loki (and Ellie and a few other divine trespassers) were invited to remain in Las Vegas as guests or get the hell off my lawn after they were muscled out of the turf-grabbing activity.
Coyote stopped the meteorite storm from striking the Earth.
Coyote was best man at the wedding between a god and a demigod.
Coyote was awesome and smooth, the leathery dusty cowboy at his earthiest and squintiest.
And once Miley Cyrus found out that he could look like Johnny Depp in 21 Jump Street, they went to the prom together after she gave him her lobster.

I declare this game to have been made of utter and incomprehensible win. XD

See, that's the thing about the live games. There's a *lot* going on, and so it's sometimes hard to present it out of context *and* comprehensibly. I mean, I didn't even get to the part where General Toni Hawke (I don't know if she's a skateboarder or not) led the G.I. Dojoe in the reality television show Hell's Dojo (Gordon Ramsey's new project) until she found herself in possession of a Holiday Inn full of valuable art and a crew of Ferengi.

okay now it's just approaching transcendant. *lol*
What system/event was this...?

Every few years, Amanda and her demented cohorts host a live game (like a LARP but without the social stigma) at the house. Conflict was generally handled either through negotiation or Rochambeau. In order to make sure everybody stays occupied, there are at least three or four intertwining plot streams that intersect at the location. This year, it was a big fight competition in Las Vegas, but in the past they've done a western, a 'southern wedding', a claustrophobic spaceship, 1920s Paris....

That really is awesome :-D

(pfft, social stigma. I did Vampire LARP in college; only reason I didn't once I moved to CA was that I discovered in two games that the crew I'd been playing with in Pittsburgh were a lot more creative. Then I got into cosplay, which at a good con amounts to the same thing... ^_^)

It's a prodigious amount of energy, and in the end it turns out pretty amazing.

(pffft indeed. I'm often surprised at how far down the *geek* social ladder LARPing seems to sit, let alone with the straights. Even if you say "It's like those dinner theater murder mystery things!")

It is more energy than I care to think about, spread over more time than I care to think about. Also, when you said at least three of four intertwining plot streams you meant at least seven or eight intertwining plot streams.

And technically I didn't run the generation starship game, I was a player in that one.
