[UA] Way in advance (OT)

[Chris Milne]

I've experienced some dire vamp lrp in my time, mainly due 
to people who can't get out of the whole angsty posey gothy 
bollocks thing :-) (no offence intended). Now I'm involved 
in the UK Camarilla in London, and I have to say that on 
the whole they're very mature roleplayers, and generally 
down-to-earth in the best possible way. I wouldn't go so 
far to say that it's out of this world wonderful, and I 
still prefer "traditional" roleplaying, but it's still a 
damn good laugh.

I guess as with everything there are good and bad aspects, 
and each to his own, so I'll shut up on the subject now.

all i've heard of vamp lrp has been horror stories. i've 
played a few live
(no pun intended) vampire games and found them to be pretty 
enjoyable, but
they were "homebrew" ones run by my local club rather than 
the official
thingies. (when i first heard about a system using 
scissors-paper-stone to
resolve everything, i laughed for about half an hour and 
then vowed never to
play it). i guess i've just been lucky enough to play with 
civilised types.
it's fun doing the whole angsty posey gothy bollocks thing 
now and then, if
only for a few hours while you pretend to be someone else.
