the_fantastic_ms_foxI'm fiddling with the image for the cyberpunk noir "thing"....
Yes, "thing:" it' s an ongoing interactive theather event (OITE), it's Altered Reality Theatre (ART), it's Indrama, it's' something, but it's not a L.A.R.P. Why? Because I want to market this, and I want to play this, and "larp's" have too much baggage, a problem which shows up every time someone tries to run one.
So, in an effort to draw out select portions of the non-larping demographic, and encourage some larpers to stay away, I'm trying to brainstorm the "problem elements" that they may be queitly purged.
What bothers you about the image of LARP? What do you think bothers othe people? How can I skirt this? I also need an acronym. Suggestions please.
