According to bleemoo, character submissions are open and currently stand at 21 of 30 players for a campaign LARP similar to and run by some of the same people as the Story Wars games which ran at Intercon a few years ago. They're hoping to fill by the end of the month and run first in mid-September. -ed.
Welcome to Story Wars AU (currently a placeholder name). This will be a campaign larp, meeting roughly two to three times per year, as we figure out what we can handle. I will state up front that while we have written other larps, we have not done a campaign before, so expect that there will be a learning curve in some areas and try to bear with us. Thanks!
This is a mash-up game done in the school style. If you have played School For Young Women Specializing in the Arts of Grace and Maidenly Submission or Story Wars: Episode VI Return of the Princess Bride, then you understand the style. For those who haven't, the game will be set in a set of neighboring schools, ones that have a friendly rivalry with each other. Characters will be drawn from various fictional sources and will likely form some kind of theme.
This survey is intended to start the character submission process. We are looking for at least five character ideas from everyone, some on specific themes.
Disclaimer: Submitting a character is not a guarantee that it will be accepted. Nor is it a guarantee of a place in the game. We will be doing a 30 player max. If we find out we can handle more characters later, we may do so, but for the start, 30.
Characters will be accepted based on the following factors: how well we know the character, how well it mixes with other characters submitted (that does not mean everyone is friends, just that they will interact in interesting ways), and how well a character sparks ideas in a GM. The point is to write a cool game that everyone will enjoy. We do that best by picking a set of characters that both excite us and will mix well.
As we do not have a set date for the first game yet, other than vaguely fall, we will be keeping some backup ideas in place just in case what we pick doesn't match who can come to game.
