See, this is how I usually feel about GMs who tell me
my interpretation of my character is wrong or groups
who won't do anything for fear the GM will humiliate
them -again.  It's even worse in LARPs, which really
do need to open up with a few "break the ice"
exercises, but never do.

I suppose there's been a discussion about a UA LARP somewheres?
