There is yet another article going around lamenting the lack of danger and challenge in modern rpgs. The OSR movement exists and even DnD has a bunch of optional rules to make it more dangerous. Every article like this is the author admitting how little they know about ttrpgs as a whole.

Splitting the party is fine, actually. I love scenarios that require PCs to make tough choices with timers where splitting up is the only option. Then, a combination of dramatic cuts back and forth, as well as just using initiative order to manage it, is a lot of fun.

A friend active in kink spaces when I described larp safety mechanics: "Oh, it's just a series of CNC scenes?" I mean, No, but also yes

A weakness I have when designing scenarios is creating compelling social plots. I can generally improv that sort of thing if the players are giving me something to work with, but creating it out of nothing is tough.

Concord Olympus was such a magical event for me. It was all the things I love about the Secrets and Powers larp style, without the toxic issues of old Vamp larp. Part of this is the focus on player safety and calibration, and part was the amazing players cast in all of the roles.

The game I was so nervous about is Concord Olympus by Drowning Moon Studios. It's a neo noir pervasive larp in NYC remaining the Greek gods. It's the first time I'm Fascilitating this sort of game. I'm sitting in on the various faction workshops, and I'm learning a lot.

This weekend, I'm working a larp in NYC, and I'm insanely nervous. On top of that, I'm flying out of Atlanta, and that's going as well as you can expect.

A whole bunch of people just followed me, so here's intros: I run ttrpgs and larp, occasionally professionally. I have done a small bit of ttrpg publishing I'm left leaning, but don't talk about politics a lot here.
