The good thing about genCon this year is that is in October, which means I've got an extra two months to prevaricate in before (as usual) sitting down in a panic 3 days before the event and writing like billy-oh to have something to run.
I'm toying with various ideas of what to run this year. I reckon I've got room in my head for 3 LARPs, and so I'm interested in what people who may be going to Gencon might be most interested in playing. Here's some suggestions.
1) Diablerie on the Orient Express (A positively final performance). Remains the best thing I've ever written and that, coupled with my just having to dust it off to run, makes it an attractive proposition for me. Dunno what the audience takeup would be like though.
2) Mars or Bust! (Space 1889). It's 1889 and delegations of the British Empire and Tsarist Russia are off to Mars in the Aetherial flyer to negotiate with the various factions of that planet; including the grey-uniformed troops of Barsoom, the tripod-riding mobile brains, and the terror legions of Emperor Ming the Merciless. Square-jawed derring do and sneaky bolshevik politicos ahoy!
3) Bilderberg: The Role-playing game. Join the international consirpacy which rules the world as the Bilderberg group gets together for it's annual knees-up. Tony Blair, Geoorge W Bush, The Boy Scout movement, the Elders of Zion, the Saucer People and more all get to sit down and decide how they're going to manipulate the globe in the coming year.
4) It's the End of the World as we know it: Vamp 3rd edition. Rounds off the MM WoD game world in style.
5) Vampire 4th edition. Should be out by then...the first big game of the new system? Start as we mean to go on.
What do you game-geeks think?
