You are on the archive wiki. The new wiki is here.
If you're kinda keen but can't see three sessions into the future, we'd prefer that you create a full character and drop out/skip a session - our LARP is robust, we can handle it! ;-) Note that once-off characters are strictly once-off, not "upgradeable" (birthmarks don't appear overnight).
If you can't make it tonight let d@vid know by email, sms or on FlowerWarPlayers.
Please be prompt.
Preliminary meeting: tonight
- Date
- Friday February 25 2005
:Time: 19h00 (group-based creation, please be prompt)
- Venue
- Leslie Social Science 2A, UCT
Setting and faction creation will take place in the preliminary meeting. (Read the Setting notes beforehand.) Character creation will be completed by players within the following week. GMs? will fine-tune the setup the week after that, and the first LARP will run on Saturday March 19.
Do not set your heart on a fixed character concept before the preliminary meeting, as there are many variables that will be decided only during that meeting. However, you may want to organise associations with other players beforehand, for example: agreeing that you will be in the same naevus or province, or other basic inter character connections.
If you are unable to make the preliminary meeting, but are still interested in the campaign, contact the GMs? beforehand so that we can accommodate you. Note that we also have space for once-off characters in each LARP.
