| Just had this idea in work, probably never be run, or only a few times, the idea being that stock fanatasy characters find themselves in a surreal envrionment sent on odd quests such as go to the shops and buy a chicken and bring it back and meet even stranger inhabitants, like gorrillas, hikers, hamsters, foxes and such. Combat would be simple with peeps starting with one hit per location, with more added for armour, phys reps would be needed but not accurate. all weapons do one hit per, with creatures, marked with a unique ribbon doing special damage, a player struck by a special creature falls to the floor, when a ref gets round to them they pick out a ticket from a bag, with their fate wrote on it. Healing is simple, a sticking plaster, bandage, heals one wound, armour repair kit does the same for armour. Magic is random, and will probably have a different effect for each player. I'm thinking of having, spells that need need physrepping or are powered by phys-rep gold crayons, sample real spells could include "pelt monster with cuddly toys" which would do exaclty as it says on the tin until the monster targetted goes away. And character development probably wont be looked into as its unlikely that this larp will run long enough for people to

Your problem with this will probably be the same problem with running a Discworld LARP - most LARPers (and people generally actually) just aren't that funny, especially not when they're expected to be funny in an off the cuff situation. So the whole thing will probably end up much less inspired than it is in your head. Which is a shame, because fundamentally its a pretty good idea.
I tend to file this sort of thing with my idea for a "Rogers and Hammerstein" LARP - the idea of hordes of LARPers in technicolour costumes bursting into song and dance routines fill me with glee, but you just know it really wouldn't work.

Dammit, im learning to play an accustic just so i can sing stupid songs at various people for Maelstrom for humours sake. Much to the dismay of some im sure. If you want to try somethign liek this, im all for helping out by standing behind the caslte walls screaming insults and throwing various farm animals.

Matt Pennington (4/26/2007) But I do think LRP is a hobby best enjoyed in a positive state of mind.
If you approach a game with a positive attitude then you're more likely to enjoy yourself there.
