Upper Bogglehampton (larp)

Well that was interesting, I enjoyed it on a roleplay level (though I feel so sorry for Aurinyan*), but at the same time I couldn't get past the fact that I seemed pretty pointless. Admittingly that was due in part to the size of the party, and the nature of the enemy (undead, demons and animals don't have to rely on sight), but also all the rules changes to light magic. It's the first time I've played him since they all kicked in, and I have to say the whole down powering has been taken too far. If it wasn't for the way fourmyle set up the dark half the larp I would have done almost nothing that larp.

*He's got the back story horrible trauma of the enormous shadow demon hiding in his shadow (nervous breakdown No. 1), those two (or was it three - no one seemed to know) villages of light and shadow mages working together made all the worse by having to play nice with the drow (nervous breakdown No. 2), and yesterday he had to somehow deal with the possibility that the shadow masters had brought about permanent night and that the group of people he was with may well have stopped a ritual to bring about endless day (almost nervous breakdown No.3). Not to mention all the panic and anger he feels about the rapid weakening on the light list - something he blames the Illuminati for. He got through yesterday mostly on anger rage, and having Carlsberg as a sympathetic ear. If there had been any proof that the party had stopped a ritual to bring about endless day he would have turned on them there and then, and have tried to kill whoever was responsible - thankfully there was no proof and a lot of confusion at the time.
