Had a lot of fun at Game-a-thon today, but it was still a mixed bag. Bad news: low attendance this year meant the minimum number of people my LARP needed (18) was greater than the total number of people there today (in past years, we've usually had between 30 and 50 at any given time, and 80-120 total over the course of the weekend) ... so my LARP was canceled. That does, however, mean I can run it at ValleyCon this fall, and all of you who thought it sounded cool can (hypothetically) come to Fargo and play in it.
There was a smaller, D&D-based LARP tonight, and that was entertaining - my aging priest of Pelor lost half his money gambling on illegal boxing, spent as much as he could on drinks, and went home at the end of the night with his new, barely-legal wife and the lady of the evening who performed his marriage ceremony in the back of the bar (as it happens, their idea, not his/mine).
No, I wasn't behaving out of character - by doing the above, I accomplished every goal listed on my character sheet with zeal and gusto, above and beyond what was suggested.
