[UA] Requested: My mutilated Mage LARP (long).

I feel your pain . . .. that's why I never become involved with campaign 
style games: the politics and disputes kill the magic.

The games I've played have been one-off or just a few games spaced over 
several years. People spend months planning, writing and taking part in 
workshops before the big event. Often the organisers spend a year of 
unpaid work (sometimes with minimum salaries) writing mythos, 
backgrounds, characters (sometimes several pages per player) and plots. 
I'm sure some have been mightily pissed off when all of this work goes 
down the drain because some player has ideas all of their own, but 
usually the organisers vision and work is respected.

But back to the orginal topic (if there was one): what do you think of 
the idea in my link? Silly and pretentious, or way cool? Some of the 
proposed 'frameworks' or 'wanderers' seem rather UA-able to me . . .
