[UA] Playing yourself (was: Campaign logs)

[Sonja Pieper]

Hi,

I have started with them as themselves but I have also told
them it's 'Just a Game' (the name of the campaign) ...
and that after a while they would be a little less themselves
and that maybe at the end they might be very different 
people ...

So far I did quite well involving them (except one see my
other mail) ... I sent them to a liveaction rpg in my game
which did get a little complicated playing the game in the
game where you are yourself but play someone else ....

They have played themselves very convincing so far, even
I as their friends and myself seemed to be convincing ...

And then imagine you are a roleplayer who gets sucked into a game
that spills over into reallife. Right now they have been
imprisonned in some old ruin by some 'orcs' and I have them
bound and gagged in a dark room and one of them has a
severe arachnophobia and one other mentionned he hated
bugs once I had brought them there:

'You are so mean, you are so mean ....'

What will they say when during some kind of ritual
the orc shaman will conduct in-game, one or two of their
very best friends vanish in a way that looks decidedly
impossible. What will they say when noone believes them
and their friends do not turn up .... 
It's Just a Game???
