Last night I had the first glimmerings of a joyous idea: That someone other than myself could run the potential third arc of Book of Ashes. Sal seemed interested (though he was into the port) is being that someone. I think he would make an excellent GM for it. On my drive home, I dreamed up a complex and tragic character with potential for hours

Oooh is this like a challenge? Are you going to out-angst me??

Do you know how long it's been since we really got to play in a game together? No, scratch that.. have we EVER? (I don't think House Cannon really counts)

There was the recent Changeling game. And technically R4V. And some of PtK. And House of Cards.

I can't out-angst you.

For men, angst is hidden and internal. The character idea I had would externalize it a lot and get ostracized for it, but even with that, I couldn't out angst you. Shrieking and crying is a lot more dramatic than brooding and violence, which demonstrates the big difference between how women and men express their pain. This expresses especially in LARP where fighting is a cliched "every game" experience.

Also, you're just better at overacting :)
