We survived !

Back home, week-end over. The LARP was a success, granted not a perfect one, but I decided to content myself with it. I'm just to tired to read my f-list or give a detailed account, and the pics are not yet in my possession. Actually, I think I might be to tired to type in english. But hey ! we did it ! Yatta !

Lessons learned :
- double-check balance between characters (everyone has the same amount of information, things to do, etc...)
- take *one week* to install the clues and the house, if a special installation is required
- make a check list of what needs to be brought to location early on, and stick to it !
- no matter what it is, and how long it is, give the players a text background
- don't you ever again play after 2am. Start by day, end at midnight.
- note to self : just be a staff member, forget about being in-game, you can't handle both, you prefer the game-managing part
- talking witht he players afterards is good. It's good for them, as they tell you where the problems lie, and it's a boost for your ego.
- stress-management level : you're getting slightly better at this

We still need to take some hours to share our impressions and suggestions, lady_darkstone and I, and discuss whether or not we'll make a second round of this game. Probably not, or not before a few years.
