Hi Nick,

I think the only way to do it would be as selective of the players as you can, 
frankly, for the enjoyment of all cocnerned - which is partly why I fired this 
out.  I would be GMing, only one group, I think, rather tahn trying to give it 
to another GM unfamiliar with the story. I would see may 6 or 7 places only 
(too early to say book now?)

I hear what you aer saying about LARPS - I would like to try it on tabletop, 
though (oo-er missus)

C

Possibly. Loads of qualifiers.

On the one hand, it sounds awesome, and it's the sort of thing that we UK
LARP types
already do, albeit LARP and not tabletop RPG. Depending on the players, and
the GM,
and the con, I'd totally jump at the chance.

On the other hand, there have been games at cons where I'd have chewed off
my own
spleen rather than play another second with those people. And to be stuck in
a game with
them for a whole weekend? Mother of God, no.

Speaking personally I'd much rather do this with a LARP than with a tabletop
because I
don't like the idea of sitting still for more than a couple of hours - same
reason I don't like
long board games.

You might be interested to know that when I ran "The Fall" at Gaelcon
(essentially six
linked scenarios back-to-back) I got three people who booked in to all of
it. That might be
an indicator of how popular this sort of thing is, but your mileage may
vary. I don't think you
can separate "this is a game of X type" from "this is a game run by Y" in
the Irish market,
and I remember a sentiment of "if I don't intend to experience the whole
story I won't book
into a small part of it."

Nick.
