mllelaurelI've signed up for Like Putting a Leash on a Rocket Launcher at 7:00 sharp last night. And it's a good thing - this game filled up in half an hour: a speed second only to the Brits! I've got to say, I'm looking forward to it a great deal. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hazliya writes wonderful characters, and the presence of kink themes does not hurt.
If luck is with me, there'll still be slots left for female players in Story Wars next Wednesday. The blurb makes it sound awesome, and I've heard really good things from last year's run. Incidentally, if the GMs want to re-run its prequel at some point, too, it wouldn't make me cry, except for tears of joy.
My backup for this slot is Shadow Over Babylon. There are a couple of things I find worrysome about it. I'm not much interested in war gaming or political negotiation, but I have it on good authority there are interesting roles, especially ones for women, which deal with neither. And while I'm no fan of Lovecraft himself (purple prose plus bigotry=OTP?), I do find myself enjoying the writing of others which uses the mythos. Also, it's AE. A huge positive right there.
I'm hoping that if'n when the bid for Sound of Drums goes through, it'll be slotted for Saturday afternoon. If not, Life at the Securemarket will be my top choice for that slot, though it'll likely be full by then. My second choice is Lost in the Jungles of Time. I love the concept, but I should check in with the GM to see what she means by 'puzzles.'
Of the games that appeal to me on Sunday morning, I've already played in one (GM Space) and the other (10 Bad) will likely be full by the time I get to signing up. Most likely will be sleeping in. Which may be well, considering Daylight Savings.
And, of course,wired_lizard and I are GMing Lifeline on Saturday morning. Those of you who haven't played should sign up!

Date: 2009-11-05 08:05 pm (UTC)“Welcome to TerraCon XX, the hottest Anime, Science Fiction and Gaming Convention on the face of the planet.”
Well, that’s what you’d be hearing if you could get inside, anyway! With over 20,000 people, Terracon XX is probably the biggest convention ever held in Massachusetts. Unfortunately for you, it seems like they’re all standing in line waiting to get their badges…
LineCon is a comedic horde game about the odd people you meet standing on line at a geek convention (and the even odder convention staff that seem to always be present at these conventions). It draws inspirations from a variety of classic LARPing sources, along with the author’s real experiences standing in lines exactly like these. Plus we make fun of Nat Budin – what else could you possibly want?
