Huh.  Well, that wasn't really my intention when I was working on the rules
set, although I suppose my belief in the value of quick-resolving systems
is being supported.  As for the "masquerade" element, that was mainly there
to make the setting readily accessible.

Did I ever tell you guys my idea for UA LARP rules?  If it was me, I'd do
away with the concept of a disinterested, objective moderator: Every "GM"
would be playing a member of the Invisible Clergy, and would let their
archetype's agenda influence the events they moderate.

Of course, being a LARP virgin I have no idea how well that would work.
It's the idea though.
