[UA] Back Me Up Patrick (was UA larp)

[Patrick Joynt]

  Generally, if people don't want to interact with your character, then you 
can fine-tune the character.
If people don't want to interact with *you*, no amount of rules will make 
'em. At least, really, not people you want to be interacting with.
Actually, with the "here's a scene, everyone has to contribute to it" why 
bother LARPing it? Get a group of people you find interesting, and all of 
you get storytelling rights to one voice - then go around the table, each 
person describing the scene until they're done, and then passing it on to 
the next person.  Whoever starts it gets to set terms - no killing other 
characters, or even looser, such as theme, tone, etc...
Anyways, that's just my opinion.  I spent my first year or two LARPing 
trying to make characters that people would want to interact with before I 
really got my ass in gear and made dealing with *me* bearable.
Well, more bearable.  Then, folks wanted to deal with my PCs:)

All depressingly true.
