First, apologies. I realise in hindsight that I got too caught up in character, and pushed the rules, for which I am very sorry. I had no intention to cheat in...
My main problem with Siege of Troy was that a lot of things seemed very mechanical - i.e. 'In order to do this, I must find such-and-such an item, and do...
... Re this excellent suggestion, as another person who thinks the Oxford Society Game format is a very good one, I have a variant on it which might be more...
This sounds like a very interesting alternative style of game and I'd love to give it a go sometime. (Easy for me to say since I'm not in the country.) But I...
Seige had some mechanics in it, but to a large extent I feel that if you werent a hero you could avoid this. I myself prefer something very mechanics light,...
... A 3-day version would certainly work fine, I'm sure. The role-playing thing (also picking up on Dream's point) is different strokes for different folks...
... I think the GMs at Siege of Troy had to fit that sort of thing in between midnight and 9am. :) ... It certainly sounds interesting, I guess a lot depends...
... It sounds very similar to a larp I know called sinergy http://www.sinergylarp.com/ which happens once a month in Leicester. After each session people...
There's been a number of times that I've been playing on long-running games where I've 'manipulated' events so that my character is 'dealt with'; purely so my...
This seems like a workable idea. Then to my mind its much more what I'm used to than a more 'typical' freeform. I'm not sure how relevent the 'chill factor'...

Hi all; On Sunday night I did something unusual for me; I ran a published freeform. 'The Fallen Fane' is an Ars Magica adventure for 12-24 players, published...
Cool. I'm pleased to hear someone managed to run it and give a report back. I was very impressed when I bought it, considering some of the other attempts at...
I've uploaded the final Tombstone booking and casting form to the files section of this group. It's also on my website (www.tonymitton.com). The casting form...
Darn it! Much as I'd like to go, £55 will mean I can't pay my next rent. Meh. I need more money if I want to make a habit out of freeforming. Doesa anyone...
... ~Sounds of Organising Queen's blood pressure going through the roof.~ I would greatly prefer it if this didn't happen to be perfectly honest. Nothing...
Gordon, if i may - if you would liek to run The Fallen Fabne in Edinburgh I am sure you would find much interest. I would advise posting to the Ars Magica...
Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! YHS, Ben / The "original" Aeetes...

You are forgiven - as are the other peeps who had to drop - everyone had good reasons, but my grey hairs multiplied that night 8-) -- I'm pink therefore I'm...
This might be of interest to some: www.dragonbane.org In short, it's an international freeform/larp running for a whole week at the end of August. The...
Looks interesting but a bit too LARP-y for me. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like it'll clash with The Gathering? They say late August, and I didn't...
The Scottish Executive has proposed a ban on the sale of swords in Scotland, and a ban on the carrying of swords. This will just harm re-inactment, fencing,...
The LARP/Freeform Scenario archive at http://www.rpg.net/larp/index.html has undergone a MAJOR facelift. It took forever and a day, but I finally managed to...
So who else got something in their Christmas presents and immediately thought - Oooooh how can I get that into a game? My presents - a 4 foot high infatable...
