Yes, it is true! As of last Saturday night, I have officially stepped up as Assistant Storyteller for our local One World By Night vampire LARP. Or, as someone once intelligently put it, "paying my dues" :) The position of Head Storyteller is confidently filled by Reddz, fulfilling our goatee-and-long-hair quota.
Also, our game has undergone a long-expected name change. Formerly known as Fred By Night, the vampire LARP will now be know as Sang Nordique! ... though I expect it’ll be called "the fred game" or "the gimli game" for a while. Not panic citizens, the Ministry Of Truth is already hard at work!
Reddz and I will have a sit-down in the near future to discuss our dark age of tyranny ... er, I mean our upcoming plot ideas. Also, I will soon be exposed to storyteller and organization email lists that, I have been assured, will drive me to drinking. Finally, we’ll be re-booting the game website in the next couple weeks... mainly ’cause we’re a pair of computer savvy geeks, and I’m a web developer by trade.
In the meantime, Seth is "away-ish" in the same way Kory’s Lasombra was "around-ish". At the moment, he’s available as a travelling character for our semi-occasional Fargo excursions and, hey, isn’t Conclave coming up soon?. I’m still undecided as to what to do with him long-term, though. Eventually I’m certain I’ll want to play again (or Reddz will finally have enough of me asking to bring in a cyborg-zombie-dinosaur NPC... come-on, it’d be awesome) but if you asked me right now, I’d say I’d want to try a different clan. Seth will probably disappear into Grapevine saved-file limbo or get passed on to some Subcoord for a do-whatever-you-want type NPC?
Anyway, am excited and looking forward to participating in the game from the "other side". Now if you excuse me, I have to work on my proposal...
*clears throat*
BZZZZRRROOOAARRRZZZAAIINNSS!
Come on! Full of awesome! :D
