Mar. 23rd, 2002 11:59 amMmmm. I'm having a marvelous time at Ambercon. Staying up far too late and getting up at the very last minute before the next game, but I'm not actually all that tired. dj and I seem to have gotten most of the way to a good and comfortable place and I'm very glad about that. Someone inquired Thursday night "Are you dating?" and I could answer in the negative quite peacefully.
Right now I've got a several-hour break before my next game: this was an eight-hour slot but the game only ran four hours. I'm really glad of that, since I don't otherwise have any free slots at all.
Games so far:
dj's "The Hunt', which went very very well, surprising him I think. Despite having been in on parts of the game design, I did not know what was going to happen and enjoyed it as much as anyone. My character Merit Helgram's postgame fate isn't pretty: I think she ended up mindwiped by Oberon so completely that she lost even her name and is now known to history as Faiella. She finally got a little self-awareness back after Deirdre was born but it was only enough to let her commit suicide. This was the game in which we learned *why* Benedict has such a big chip on his shoulder, and why he has such an awareness of invisible assassins.
"Julian's Wedding", by Rain. The game in which the worst possible bloodcurse would have been "I curse you all to be straight." I played Merenue, who was very happy because she got to have sex with a cute and femmy redhead daughter of Bleys. The game was a ton of fun, but poor sweetly besotted Julian was left at the altar by his intended. It wasn't quite the carnage`that the guests were half-hoping for, but it was a good show nonetheless.
"Mementoes of Amber', by Jack G. Fun, complicated, and difficult. But we killed off the whiny brat Merlin. That is always a plus.
"What number are you?", a semi-LARP by Jack K. This one stands out for having had two Fionas, one of them me. We seemed to be on very much the same wavelength and it was highly entertaining rising to ever-greater heights of sarcasm.
''ShadowQuest", by Jeremy. I played Corwin's actor, Darren Buckingham, as the worst of William Shatner. Did almost nothing of consequence but got to be hailed as the savior of Amber anyway. Which was exactly as it should be.
Three more games to go..
