Taking a look at my newbie PEL experiences at the Quill!

A peek at PELs

"So after every event, it becomes “PEL season”, so that felt like the right time to do an OOG newbie entry about PELs! So today we’re gonna take a look at my PEL experience, and how it’s changed over time. . ."

So I really enjoy reading the stories people make about what their character did during a game absence. I took a trip with some friends to rent out a castle, literally, and we had a great time dressing up, doing murder mystery dinner, and playings lots of games/being silly. So afterwards I thought it would translate rather perfectly into a "what ( Read more... )

So the last entry of High Summer is up over at the quill. Additionally I thought it'd be fun (since everyone is full of pre-Madrigal energy and post-every-other-larp energy) to have some Q&A with readers :D Can't wait to see everyone at game!

Does it make me a terrible new englander to be writing up Mira's journal entries rather than watching the Sox? New entry up at the quill! It was a busy sleepless night during High Summer apparently!

Istamira’s Journal Entries: Day Two, Part 3 Mira’s Sleepless Night

Nestled in the warm comfort of the tavern, we took some extra time tonight to work ( Read more... )

So went to the doctor's today and as he was doing these range of motion/muscle strength tests this happens:

Doctor: Ok now move your arm like this...
Me: Like this?
Doctor: No, like you're stabbing me.
Me: Oh! Ok...*flex*
Doctor: Wow, you have really strong triceps! Normally that's a very weak muscle.
Me: *mutters* 'cause I'm Naporean
Doctor: What ( Read more... )

Another OOG update at the Quill! This time around we're chatting about dodging game downtimes. More IGness coming soon :)

Organizing Your Experience

"It dawned on me that over time, having one mere “oog” category probably doesn’t help new visitors to narrow in on particular topics they’re curious about. So I’ll be starting to try and coalesce the ( Read more... )

So it's time for a flurry of Highsummer journals at the Quill! First up, Mira's traditional pre-game letter to dad. Followed by day one of game...

Message In A Bottle

"It would seem that for my birthday, I’ve ended up taking a trip back south again. FAR south. And not even back home, but even further south than that..."

New entry is up over at the Quill! This time we're exploring character morality :D

The Difficulty of Neutrality

"Of all the challenges to conquer at larping as a new comer, there is one that I still struggle with: character neutrality. And when I say that I struggle with it, it’s not so much that I struggle with roleplaying it - it’s more that I ( Read more... )

Thanks to everyone who sent in questions for the 100th update! Incidentally the 100th post falls around the time of my 2nd full year larping, and 2nd full year of blogging about larping too. Entry is now available at the quill by clicking here.

I'm looking forward to writing more stuff this year to bridge the gap between now and November :D

Aw no more people want to send questions in? I've got 3 so far, 17 more to go! I mean they don't even have to be questions you actually want to know the answer to per say, the point is just to get me thinking and it's more fun than me making up questions for myself.
