My Weekend Update in Reverse: Saturday

My first time helping out with The Realms, a Worcester-based combatty LARP. My friend hazeleyedfae created/produced/whathaveyou'd a nightlong adventure set in the Dream Realms, with heavy fae and Wonderland influences. I was so there.

Because she rocks so much, she fed me some great NPC bits throughout the evening. In the undead lair of the Queen of Spades I got to play the Jack of Spades, a totally hammy lich-in-training who was big on threats and low on any actual ability. During the Mad Hatter's Tea Party I got to play the March Hare (I think I did okay--I just had to flip the switch in my head that gave me permission to put multiple exclamation marks on the end of everything I said, like "Have some tea!! Tea rhymes with p rhymes with d rhymes with sea, which you shouldn't go in!!! You'll SINK!!! Unless you're HOLLOW!!! ARE you?!? I JUST DON'T KNOW!!!!") And for the climax, when the insect-fae players (don't think of them as pixie-fairies) got to meet some of their ancestor/god/forefathers, I got to be the one who was the living embodiment of freedom and curiosity...an uberpowerful fairy with ADD, basically. And blue hair. And a blue sash. And a shimmery blue shirt, and blue wings, and a blue tutu worn around my neck so it looked like my head was being eaten by a giant cornflower.

Some people might draw some theories from the fact that every role she gave me was mentally unbalanced in one way or another. Me, I just lay out the facts and let you draw your own conclusions.

It was a great time! The people were amazingly friendly, the staff co-ordinating everything were really on the ball (re-setting the room 9 different times while the PCs waited out in the hall, and doing it fast and efficiently and without anyone having a meltdown all evening....damn), and they had a ten-foot-high Jabberwock interrupt the Unbirthday party and nearly eat everyone. Good and cathartic.

Afraid you happen to have the scope a little small there -- it's not based out of Worcester. Although it is primarily in the New England area.

Yep, I'm a member.

We play primarily in MA and NH, but we have players from all over, it's true. As of late, though, most of th events on the calendar HAVE been happening in Worcester.

Who do you play, lrody?
