Two quick adverts for y'all, 

Firstly, Y'know the diesel punk LARP Doug and I have been floating ideas for for a while now? It now has its own blog/LJ community! Please come along, see what you think, and offer opinions if you have any you want to share. There's not a lot up at the moment, but setting documents and other fun stuff will be turning up sooner or later, as will any news as to where we are in the planning stages of making this a reality. 

It can be found here... 



Secondly - and this one is mostly for Oxfnordites - I'm considering running a tabletop.
Setting: OWOD Mage
Concept: Umbral space pirates. Vaguely Atom punk, vaguely Fireflyesque, probably taking the piss out of Trek somewhat.
Characters: Tradition Mages - no restrictions, but run anything really off-the-wall past me first.
Tone: Lighthearted, pulpy adventure fun.
Place: Mine and Doug's as-yet-unnamed house
Time: TBC

Who would be interested? And when can you make?

Holy shit. Airships? Floating islands? EXTREME JOURNALISM?

I'm so fucking in. :D

Oooh, have never played Mage but it looks kinda shiny*. I probably shouldn't do another weekly game, but if it were fortnightly/monthly I'm interested? Currently working 9-5, busy Monday evenings, Tuesday evenings in term time and alternate Thursday evenings, otherwise largely free.

*Comment not remotely influenced by being briefly able to do jedi mind tricks in recent tabletop and then having the power cruelly taken away again :(

It will almost certainly be a fortnightly, or more likely a monthly. I don't have the time to write a weekly plot :) And I'm happy to work around peoples' prior commitments.

Mage is very awesome and shiny, and I'm very happy to introduce new players to the system; I actually prefer it in a lot of cases, since I have a tendency to house-rule a lot, and completely trash the so-called "cannon", and newbies never seem to mind that as much as the people who've been playing for years and will rules-lawyer endlessly at me... :)

So yes, if you're interested, let me know, and we can arrange a character gen and system intro :)

:D I promise I am not a ruleslawyer. Also I need to get Locke Lamora to you, it is a crime that you haven't read it. I will be very surprised if you don't love it. Yes, we will have to meet up and arrange someting :)

Shiny shiny :)

It'll be probably easiest if you pop round to our place some time - that way I don't have to cart a stack of heavy source-books across town, and also you can pick up the large bottle of Vodka that is still sitting in our kitchen :)

I'm in, or can be in, most days this week :)

I fail at noticing messages on LJ. I shall come round after strom at some point, and bring caek. Coming directly from work is actually a lot easier than getting to yours from mine. Accursed buses. BTW, my email is ljname at gmail and I'm usually on gchat - quickest way to get responses.

Caek!! :D :D
