In 2000 or so, I thought about making this happen. I didn't feel like I got enough interest. I don't know, maybe I should have made it happen. Maybe someday I will -lee

I've been toying with the idea of running a "real" one-shot live action roleplaying game. I'm calling out to all players, GM's, DM's and the like to help make this happen.



What I need are:

- 10-30 adventurers

- 10-30 NPCs (yes, a 1-to-1 relationship)

- a couple experienced LARPers to Marshalls/GMs

- some experienced adventure writers (LARP or Tabletop)

   to go on the ride of their lives. 

- props, costume, and pyrotechnics folks that want to make people go "Ohh!"





In this world, the players would do things like:



hike two leagues at a clip

paddle down a river

haul -all- their own gear, including food

camp in sleeping bags and tents for days at a time

climb a mountain

scale castle walls

battle elements (magical and otherwise)

use large scale battle tactics

total gaming immersion

sneak through the forest

lie in wait for the enemy

have months and years of work pay off in seconds

hike in the dark, during a new moon

spelunker

swim and dive

orienteer

not know for sure if there is a marshall around the corner

not know for sure if the mundane world is around the corner

not know for sure if there -is- a mundane world





Think about what most of Lord of the Rings was, days and weeks of walking across the countryside interspersed with moments of sheer terror and insight. It involved making friends in foreign cultures, having to fight totally alien creatures, negotiating with the truely monstrous and nobility alike. 





That's what makes an epic.
