HypoPathetical Help

Dear larpbook,

Each Wednesday I have to travel to Birmingham and back which is around 3 1/2 hours but you only do 1 podcast a fortnight. I have listened to all of them now and I’m in danger of having to interact socially with other travellers. How can this be avoided?

Additional if we have time

Message from Jeremy Springfield

You seemed very interested in finding mechanics to add to you larp system. I’ve been thinking about writing a handbook for hit location larp. Which is a reduction in scope of the original idea, write a 4x larp (just for fun). Maybe there would be more value in recording the Hit Location Tradition we played it. Is that something that you would be interested in?

What rules are you the most interested in?
What problems are you running into with your current system?
Is there anything in particular that causes constant problems either in game, or out of game?
What would be something amazing and fun that isn’t being done in this style of larp?

If I make this a solitary pursuit, with no external input, I’ll probably lose steam. But for an audience…
