Yaoi-Con 2008 | A Celebration of Male Beauty & Passion in Anime & Manga

LARP= Live Action Role-Play, for the few that may not know.

I seem to recall this happening at the first 2 or 3 Yaoi-cons.
But the last few, I have not seen it on the schedule or seen anything about it. Is it just not done any more or what?
I seem to recall a few people got into it, wasn't huge but seemed the people who did go, enjoyed themselves alot.
Well, just curious to know if it was dropped or no one wanted to run it or what.

Ta,

It does sound like a good idea. I've personally only see a bit of it myself so I wouldn't know how to run it. If you can send me some information on it I'll see if I can get it set up and running. It might not be this year though. Let me get my legs as a staffer first. But I would certainly look into it and see if I cannot get it up and running for you.

This didn't actually ring any bells with me, so I had to go pull out my copies of the old program books. It looks like the LARP was first year only (at least, that's the only year it made it into the program book and I know for sure it hasn't been done since 2003; 2002 was a blur). My guess is that the person(s) who ran it didn't feel like running it again, or were unable to make the con again. Remember that /most/ events, aside from the main events are run by volunteers -- so if you're interested in a LARP, I'd suggest getting a proposal together and either approach the director with the idea (or if you're more interested in playing than running -- find some friends who are good at that sort of thing and talk them into it ^_^)

Yeah, I know at least 2 happened.
One had a Dracula theme and the other was a snowed in at a cabin sorta theme.
Not sure how keen I would be on running something. *L*
Though Duo Monkey is possibly gonna set something up, though it may not happen till 08.
Pity I don't know more that attend the con.

*Bumps* Hmmm awww so close to con time and nothing.
Oh well, I shall re-double my efforts for next year!
....
That's if I don't forget...
Like how I forgot about this thread...
...Bah!

Yeah LARPing is awesome!!!!!
