So back in February myself and another fellow gamer took on the task of taking over Story telling the Waterloo By Night LARP.
Six months have gone by, that's right, six months!
If someone were to have told me 11 years ago when I was first introduced to WBN that I would be running the game, I would have laughed hysterically. Especially since I walked in with almost no gaming experience and zero knowledge of LARP.
On the up side, 6 months have gone by and the game hasn't disintegrated. Its had a population explosion and a change up in my partner in crime (Co Story Teller). My original partner had a bad case of life, but has returned to playing and has a character that amuses me muchly :)
So what did I do for a new partner in crime? Our assistant extra support guy stepped up to join me and my crazy plots.
This leads us to this past weekend.
My new partner in crime's sister got married this past weekend.
This meant I was running game on my own.
I can now add to my gaming geekery resume that I successfully ran WBN all by myself and the game didn't implode.
I also had awesome support from the former STs with before game stuff and character creation (3 new players --technically 4 we had a late show but he was content to peruse the books).
Though my head is still spinning information overload wise. A lot of things went down, some I know about because its plot and other stuff -politicking I don't know. It was a lot to take in.
There may be some personality clashes and differences of opinion from time to time, but I have to say that overall the players of WBN are a fantastic group of people.
The player words of encouragement, support and offers to help with anything at all on Saturday were numerous.
It makes one feel all fuzzy inside to know that people care enough to help.
:D
