Admin/Sign Up for WWJ XIII: 'Til Death Do We LARP
For many long millenia, Melkor has lain chained and dormant. And when he finally wakes, it is to a world far different than that he remembers. Nonetheless, he is soon up to his old tricks, searching out those who he can twist to his evil will...
You are all members of an active Live Action Role-Playing club. You've been playing together for years, and you know eachother almost as well as you know eachother's fantastical personas. But the upcoming Annual Fantasy Weekend promises to be the best ever, and you prepare excitedly for the yearly camping trip. For 3 days, you'll take on your characters 24/7, camping with your friends in the heavily wooded park east of town. You've heard that your president, JennyHallu (also known as Adalawen the Elven Thief), has a very special scenario planned...rumor is it involves werewolves. Little do you know what kind of unwanted attention your eagerly anticipated outing has attracted... Important Info:

Well, I'll be a teleseller in the 7th age and my role will be Tom Yrmacha'zul'charach'ping'yit'pul tha half-balrog (half-human). He wields (at the same time) two legendary elven longswords, a legendary human two-handed sword, a legendary orcish crossbow, a legendary dwarven largeshield and a legendary wizard pointy hat.
(Yes, he is ambitious) |

Oooo, can't resist a bare-bones game!
 Hmm, I will be the local Rat Wrangler and my name will be Kitty Watcha'mikolit (half dwarf-half troll)  . She has no weapons to speak of, just her trusty flute.

Looking back at Volo's occupation, do we put down our RL jobs or made up ones? I think I may have missed something Jenny with your quotations around RL

It can be your real real job if you really want it to be. Or not. Up to you. I won't be checking up, if that's what you're asking.
EDIT: Just let it be at least marginally plausible.

My sure isn't real, it would just be so ironic to have a character with such a low job and being so ambitious in larp.
(that character was actually a part of my "how not to make a BD RPG character"-example. I even wanted to start a thread like this "How NOT to do something in The Barrow Downs or in Tolkien's world", but I decided against it, not having good enough examples.) |

Are you looking for more players? If so, I think I'll join...the fact that Jenny's modding it is practically enough to get me to play.
A couple questions before making up my mind entirely: When will it start? You didn't say, but it looked possible - are you wanting all the posts in Role-playing form itself? I will seriously consider just how much time I am willing to waste and then let you know if I decide you join you...provided you'll let me, of course. -- Folwren

I confirm my participation.
The theme has caught me slightly off balance, but I shall be an aged academic expert in Ruritanian poetry, who (hiding his suspect hobby from his respected colleagues and students) performs the role of Ptolemaius the Objectionable, a human wizard.

Sign me up Jenny!!
I shall be Anoonnoon from Omacron Persieye eight I shall be a Radical Hair Butcher and I shall be Elven. Also I work most days until at the latest 8:00 pm CST if that is a problem for anyone let me know, because I may have to vote early most days, but with the retractable vote I may be able to sneak in a vote on some days.

My character's name is Ilberic Took.
My RL persona is a fortyish stage actor with mental health issues. |

Folwren: It will start as soon as I have enough players...ideally before next weekend.
In-character posting is certainly not a requirement. Anyone is welcome to join, this is an open game.

I am actively seeking a co-mod. If weirdness takes over, I may be moving sometime in the next month.

Confirming I'm in
I'll be an unemployed homeless drunkard in his fifties who plays a pretty elf maid named Lothwen (flowermaid, that is).

I'll be a retired general from the defence department who plays Ciryatan of the Dśnedain, a one-legged Athelas vendor (his left leg will be tied from the knee in the LARP and he would use walking sticks to get forwards).
The deadline is great! One retractable is a good idea for those who will have troubles with the deadline.

I'm sorry...
The fuller is my real role. And my role playing character will be the guy who plays all the 'minor alternative characters.'

Anguirel - aged academician, expert in Ruritanian poetry - Ptolemaius the Objectionable, human wizard
Nogrod - Retired General - Ciryatan of the Dśnedain, a one-legged Athelas vendor Rikae - unstable aging stage actor - schadenfreude-prone halfling mortician, Ilberic Took, wielding an ancient elvish shovel Thinlomien - aging homeless sot - Lothwen the Pretty, elven flowermaid We seem to have a group of more mature people around this time... Let's see if they can behave any better than the youngsters?

It occurs to me that I might be able to have more fun with it if my RL character is the mortician, and my RP hobbit character is the unstable aging stage actor. Can I switch them?

How long until the game starts, do you suppose? How many more players do you need before you can begin?

Well, we have only 9 players right now. I'd like an absolute minimum of 12, preferably more like 15. I don't know how long it will take to get them, but we'll see. I'd like to get the game started by this weekend.

Welcome Rune!
We need two more players to start! I've sent out a host of invitations, but I have no way of knowing how many people have committed to Fea's game. Cross your fingers. And Anguirel, do you still plan to play here, as you've confirmed participation in Fea's game?

Well Jenny, if you still need one more player, I'm in. And for those of you groaning, I do intend on trying a new style, but then I may change my mind
 With your blessing, I was thinking of being a singer for a heavy-metal band ("RL") and a sneak in LARP. What's a sneak? think of a gollum-like creature

Hope we get a couple of players soon. I don't think Fea's game is about to start very soon as there are only two confirmed players by now...
And with Farael, Durelin and the Captain we seem to have already 13? One or two more?

Val, I just split yours into two roles. If that's all right.
I still need roles from Diamond and Rune. If I don't get them, they will be forced to dig the camp privies and be meatshields. Thank you all for joining my little party... I now have all the people I need to begin. Signups will be open for another 24 hours, and roles will be sent out tomorrow at this time. The game will start with a Night cycle. Roles will be: 3 werewolves 1 seer A ranger will be added if and only if there are 15 players by tomorrow. If you want a ranger, please encourage others to join!
