Electromagnetic candy! - Stark

I'm happy to start whenever.

Sean - I've never played Republic of Rome, but if it's possible to play without a copy, I'm always game for a new boardgame. (Mafia/Werewolf isn't quite as compelling to me - too many years in the Cam has kinda spoiled that whole set of genres...)

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Ya, ditto. I realize I'm short on cash and long on visa, and need to stop buying things for awhile.

I think it's playable without a copy. It's a *little* more detailed than BSG, but not too much. And there's a lot of social interaction.

I do not think this game is the game you think it is. Mafia/Werewolf

I'm not entirely certain Republic of Rome is even in print anymore, so you won't have to worry too much about that.

But but but ... someday I want us to set up an invite-only vampire LARP! Because I kind of miss LARPing. I just don't miss most of the idiots in the Cam.

Sean - you're right, I hadn't realized this was THAT game.

Jilli - I'm afraid there are about 2 people in the world I'd larp with, and you're one of them.

I'm flattered (I really am!), but dammit. There goes that idle plan.

If you can find a small crew of rational gamers, I'll think about reversing my stance. I'm just not very hopeful.

t begins secret plot to help arrange super awesome LARP with super awesome (and as yet mostly undetermined) people just for Alex

Oh, crap. Did I say that out loud?

See, the rational gamers I know are in DIFFERENT STATES. Because hey, getting MM and Sean into a vampire LARP with us would be FUN.
