LARP Resume
*= Favorites. I've liked most of the games I played in, but these were the ones that took my breath away. The ones I'm still talking about years after.
%= Games I enjoyed a lot less.
Question marks instead of character name mean either the character's identity is secret or I forgot it.

2008 (12)
10 Bad LARPs (Arisia) - Horde (different version of game from one played at Festival, but which version escapes me)
Welcome to Sunnyvale (Arisia) - Jim Hoover
%And They Were As Gods (Intercon H) - Ada Jones (The character needed some serious reconceptualization. The way she was written, she was an extreme introvert with one single real connection and no major plot hooks. I pretty much had to retool her into an extrovert to make her playable. Which I then had fun with, but I'd rather have been IC.)
%Forgive Me Father (Intercon H) - Enzo
*The Last Seder (Intercon H) - Jamie Schreiber
Demonic Performance Review (Festival) - ??
A Brief Journey Home (Festival) - Dalen

Clue, Impaired (CYOC version) - Willow Rosenberg
*The Morning After (weekend-long) - ??
2009 (18)
All’s Well That Ends (Intercon I) - Grace O'Malley
%Dreams of Peace, Dreams of War (Intercon I) - ?? (Objectively a good game, but a very poor match for me. Those who like political negotiations more than I do would enjoy it, I think.)
%Tithing Times (Intercon I) - Shannon (WYSIWYG character with no major revelations and no real plot connections. Managed to have a scrap of fun by attaching myself to a character my character sheet indicated was bad news and screwing myself over. Grateful to said character's player, but otherwise fairly miffed at game.)
*Time Travel Review Board (Intercon I) - ??
*Treaty of Pallas - Celena Schezar
*An Evening With Clarence (Festival) - Trilby
%Fire on High (Festival) - Malek Abdulah (Again, a character in bad need of beefing up. Love plot and not much else, with my love interest having other stuff I couldn't help him with.)
*The Final Voyage of the Mary Celeste (Festival) -Sarah Briggs

*Story Wars (Intercon J) - Claire Bennett
*Like Putting a Leash on a Rocket Launcher (Intercon J) - Natalie Sharpe

The Cumberland Country High School Reunion (SLAW '10) - Marlene
%*Nepenthe: A Surcease of Sorrow (SLAW '10) - Annabelle Lee (Loooong story. Short version: I'm unhappy with how the GM handled triggery, disturbing subjects (not in the questionnaire!) but I was also cast well and had a great time as my character. The fact that I'm nigh-untriggerable helps.)
