WAR will be hosting a 2-day event this weekend starting on Friday, March 11th and ending Sunday, March 13th. The game will be held at Camp Oyo at the IG location of Ashton. It is $50 to PC ($30 with a good NPC ratio) and is free to NPC. This event will be using 8th Edition rules.
If you've got a game running this week and we didn't mention you, either drop a comment here or shoot an email to larp.plot.tips@gmail.com, and we'll add you as soon as possible!
I personally had the chance to hit up the Joint Exiles/Wastelands event. It was pretty wild. We had a bunch of people who have never played Wastelands or Exiles (and a few brand new to LARPing). We were well fed, the game hand-off went pretty quickly, I made a bunch of new friends, and I really want to do a bit more airsofting now.
ReplyDeleteThe only downside was the weather. Rain, Rain, Rain, Sleet, Rain, Freezing Rain, Snow. GG.
Yeah the weather sucked mightily. I had a good time at the first part of the game. I'm glad to hear the second part went well too. My only regret was since it was such a short time frame (and crappy weather) I felt like some of the repping and long complex mods couldn't fit in the frame. I think Sean, Ryan and Jason did a fantastic job and I'd love to visit the IG location again for a longer game.
ReplyDeleteI attended the combo event as well, and since I'm biased I won't post about what I thought of the games :) But for the idea of a combo event in general, I think it was an okay introduction. We were pretty organized, so we went into game on time and each group got equal time - that organization helped a lot! For anyone thinking about doing this, try to work out as much as possible beforehand so no one loses play time! I think for anyone looking to get an in-depth look at either game, this was not the place. But just to get a feel for how things work at a new game, it was a nice taste. For example, having never fired an airsoft gun, I now know what it's like. And I know if I want to try it again not to wear tinted goggles :) It wasn't long enough, though, to really know if what I saw was representative of the whole game. I think that for new players, something like this might be a good thing to do maybe once a year. But once people have been introduced, it's not as useful. Just a few thoughts! I think people did have fun, though, all things considered :)
