[UA] Immersive Larp

We all have things we want. I want love.

Basically, my attitude is that the guy doing all of the work has some right 
to make the rules. If people want a Camarilla style game and you're happy to 
do that - great! I'm sure you'll deal with any problems as they arise.

 >>>I can't generate enough players who will for-sure attend for a big larp 
otherwise.<<<

If the expectations of other people are forcing you to run games in a format 
that you don't want, then you have to consider whether it is worthwhile. 
It's a big investment of your time and energy, and if things don't work for 
the biggest investor then you *will* burn out.

Of course people want to create their own characters, and to play them every 
month (or whatever). But if you don't want a format that will allow that, 
either they get to play a great game on your terms, or there is *no* game.

I don't think that this is being a fascist; I think it's about expecting 
players to be reasonable and being fair to yourself.

Not very UA themed, this email, but hopefully it will add to the impetus 
that eventually leads to a great UA live game.

Cheers,

James O’Rance
