Addendum to the Suet and related discussions

[thebitterguy]

Okay, really, I have nothing to add to the Suet discussion.

But, as the Geek Friendly section of Brad's b-day was winding down, the waitress came downstairs to tell us that the party that had reserved the room was arriving, and we'd have to smoosh down.

As they came in, certain factors became apparent. Body types. Facial hair. Black t-shirts. Hey, that guy's wearing a Thinkgeek t-shirt! Were these gamers? Operating in a pack?

Turns out they were. Bumped into Hugh from the Creighton Force 2KX (aka "the people who watch PPV's at Dave's house"). It was the after party for a Requiem LARP.

Man. People still Larp? I heard that they were filled with rage after the newest MET revisions. Cool that they soldier on.

Small world. Would have been nice to visit for a while, but we were prepping for departure at that point.

What, you didn't give your bud Brad the suet?

C'mon, for that price, it's a nifty birthday prezzie!

I'm reminded of a weird moment a few years back. I was visiting my parents in the cozy little suburb of Ottawa where I grew up. When I went to pull down the blind in preparation for going to bed, I looked out across the street and saw two people walking on the sidewalk. They stopped, played Rock Paper Scissors and then proceeded onwards. Thankfully I was already in my PJs or I might have run out there and accosted them.

Newest MET stuff is actually quite workable. Hence, the running a game again.

It's entirely possible they were just using it to decide where they'd go for pizza. But also terrifyingly likely they were challenging each other for the leadership of Gatineau.

Running a new game, eh? Cool. You should post updates n' stuff.

That's a good start. Hey, Ian. I wondered what happend to him.

Can I register to look at the IC & Media stuff?

Nope, sorry, that's only for players. The message board isn't really supposed to be for anyone outside the game anyways. Actually, you're not even supposed to know it exists; I'll have to check my settings.

Well, to quote Captain Tightpants, that makes you kind of a tease, doesn't it?

I just wanted to bask in the LARP coolness. You can't blame me for trying.

Well, you could always get yourself invited to play.....
