Alternate LARP Advertisement

[Jeff]

Hello all,

Many have likely heard the rumor, and now here is confirmation.  After speaking with Nick, I am intending to run a Playtest of this system in a new LARP. The intention is to run the LARP from 5 pm - 9 pm on Saturdays, on campus, in the Hub building.  I intend to begin the process of character creation starting February 1st, 2014, with the intent to start actual RP by mid-to-late February.

Because this is a playtest, and a new LARP, I need to limit the size of the LARP based on how many ASTs I get. I am shooting for a ratio of no more than 10 players per AST, but I'd prefer something closer to 6 per AST.

If you are interested in either playing-in or AST'ing for this LARP ( Named Laws of Vitae ), please feel free to either PM me, or contact the LARPs admin account ( lawsofvitae at gmail.com )

PS: I am not holding this at the B&GC mainly because there are already 3 games being run during this time-slot and I don't want to conflict with, or actively poach players from, any of those games.

PPS: I will likely be taking a break from Vampire while I am working to get this Larp up and running.

All of these alternate game theorycrafting boards have been moved out of the ECC Camarilla Vampire OOC sphere section since it no longer pertains to that. At the end of the week, the boards associated with a separate LARP will be deleted. Please feel free to administrate and run your own boards/websites, etc. for that.

This post in particular has been moved to the Member Showcase board as it is an advertisement by one of our members for something that does not directly pertain to Emerald Chronicles.

Errrr.....as of yet, I actually have nothing to do with the other Larp, other than giving Jeff permission to road test my ideas. I may be involved, or I may not, for the same reasons I'm not coming to ECC on a weekly basis, which is that I'm taking some time to pick myself up after what happened at the end of the year.

If you don't feel the board belongs in the Vampire OOC thread, could you move it to the Member Showcase board? I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with the platform, if anything, and the feedback I was getting was valuable.

Chris, I think it's really heavy-handed of you to move this entire board and announce the deletion of what'd been a remarkably civil discussion springboard for this sort of platform at ECC. While it looks like there is a group playtesting the system outside of the ECC playspace (in part, it appears, out of respect for existing games and NOT in the Cam Vamp time slot) I don't think testing a system before well before it goes to vote with a staff is anything but due diligence. I think Rob has a comment in one of these threads specifically mentioning this as a different game, which I personally don't take to mean as "game far and away from ECC" but "game in a new sphere."

Out of curiosity: wass this done at the request of the Vampire staff, at the request of NOTR, or on your own action?

Background info:

These theorycraft posts and this separate board was not requested by the staff in the first place. It was just Nick asking for a place to get some feedback. These were never intended to be up here long term either. These boards were always slated for removal and could have been removed by request of the vampire staff at any time. They were just a courtesy for a dude that might try to run a game in V20 in a year or so, or might not. They were not official, set in stone, etc.

Apparently, entirely separate from Nick, Jeff M. would like to take these rules and run a separate LARP in a different play space. Not under NOTR, not called EC. The reasons for this you'll have to ask him.

Point is, these two different gentleman's individual actions are separate and none of it is EC sanctioned (meaning nobody from NOTR or any Storyteller asked for them in the first place). As the EC Webmonkey I was just providing Nick a temporary forum for some theorycrafting because hey why not.

separately, Jeff (or any member of these boards) is welcome to advertise any other stuff they like, things to sell, rooms to rent, games to play, whatever on the Member Showcase board. That isn't related to the theorycrafting boards set up for Nick, but he's welcome (with Nick's permission would be courteous) to use that info to run his game or whatever, and I'll leave the stuff up here for him to copy paste it for a file, etc. for safekeeping.

Because the above is a little tangled, now seems like a good time to separate these two endeavors and re-classify them as they are: Some theory craft for Nick and an Ad for Jeff. It's been a month since Nick's original posts. Plenty of time to get some decent feedback IMHO.

As a side note: I don't bear anyone ill will, Nick, Jeff, etc. the decisions I made were made because of the confusion that could be created by Jeff's post.

Hope that helps clear some things up.

Moved as requested Nick. What timeframe for keeping this stuff up in the showcase sounds reasonable to you for getting more feedback?

[The Gentleman]

I was pretty much hoping to keep it going until people hadn't posted for a while. If you want a timeline I'm happy to come up with one.

Thank you for the clarification, I understand it's important to keep these wires from getting crossed. With that said, do you still plan on keeping Nick's platform threads retitled to "Alternate Vampire game theorycraft - To be deleted 01/25" and in fact deleting them in three days? If these two things are separate, I'm unsure that Jeff's decision to run this system as a game outside of ECC invalidates Nick's desire to potentially run it as a platform for play at ECC...

Let's give it another month and see where we are then? Say end of Feb and we'll revisit it?

FYI, I'm cool with this having been moved to the All OOC boards. Thanks Chris.
