Just got done catching up on Critical Glitch and one of the things that really got my attention from the Origins 'live'-casts was info about the LARP that was run on Saturday. (Pre-posting edit: Found it listed as 'All That Remains' in the event listings... sold out, naturally).

From the Critical Glitch casts, it seems that no one was turned away from the LARP at Origins (or from any other SR event), so will this be the intention/hope at GenCon as well?

[StarManta]

Yes, there'll be the LARP at GenCon, and we won't turn anyone away who wants to play unless there are truly absurd numbers of people (and possibly not even then).

[Michael Chandra]

So if that prediction turns out wrong, will you do a little song and dance too? =)

[StarManta]

How could I possibly one-up Street Samurai?

How could I possibly one-up Street Samurai?

How could you possibly NOT?

[Bull]

A one-man performance of the entirety of Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime?

A one-man performance of the entirety of Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime?

I've listened to that album enough that I could almost do that.

One other question for the Live crew: Do players need to have their own 'teams' or are there provisions to put solo gamers together into groups or for solo runners?

[StarManta]

The latter. If you show up solo, you'll be matched up with other people.

[Valashar]

Sweet. Time to take advantage of my being too lazy to actually take my huge box of old clothes to the Goodwill and start putting a costume together. ^_^

[Vertigo916 "Patches"]

Heh i wish we had participated in this at origins. It sounded like a hoot afterwards.

[DWC]

The latter. If you show up solo, you'll be matched up with other people.

This is actually my recommendation, even if you come with a bunch of people you know.  Getting matched up with new people is a big part of the fun of playing at a giant convention.  Combine it with getting to enlist the aid of strangers (who rapidly become your new friends to grief your old friends and it's good clean fun for the whole family.

I've been matched up with folks I met along the way every year and been glad that I did every time.

[DireRadiant]

The event is set up to allow for variable team sizes. It's up to you.

[Valashar]

So would it be feasible (not just possible but feasible) to attempt to solo one of these events? Not that I'd likely try it on this, my first go at LARP, but it would be a fun challenge to put together a character with a chance at it.

I'll be going as my bathrobe-wearing technomancer.
