1:08 am - Reminder: Stuff this weekend @ RPI
|
|
Hey folks – I just want to remind people of what’s coming up this weekend: 1) We’ll be running Mary Celeste (hopefully both Friday and Saturday) – if you haven’t played it, I *strongly* recommend it – Mary Celeste is a fantastic game. You can get the flyer at http://www.foambrain.com/downloads/Celeste09.doc. You can email back the forms to me. 2) After Saturday’s run of Mary Celeste, we will be going out to dinner and then having a party in Celebration of Foam Brain’s 5th anniversary. If you want to come out with us, please meet at the gamewrap for Saturday’s run of Mary Celeste, at 4:45pm or so on Saturday, in CII Annex. If you have any questions or need any more info, I can be found on AIM (WizOfAwz), Skype (Zrealm), or Email (Andrew@Foambrain.com) Andrew

10:16 pm - Tales of Pendragon - Sept 18 - 20, 2009
|
For those of you who haven't heard, we're running the fantastic weekend-long tales game "Tales of Pendragon" at Rensselaer Polytechnic in Troy, NY this fall. In it, you are both afforded opportunities to play your main character as he or she grapples with personal issues of some importance, and play a variety of characters in short minigames. The blurb is under the cut, and you can get the flyer at www.foambrain.com/downloads/pendragon.pdf. The author has also written a letter to help explain some of the special and cool things about this game. You can get it at www.foambrain.com/downloads/pendragon.doc. If you want to sign up for Pendragon, you can do so at http://pendragon.foambrain.com.
As usual for games at RPI, we have some amount of crash space available. Unlike previous RPI games, this one will cost $25, which includes a dinner Saturday night.
If you have any questions - drop a reply or feel free to email me at andrew@foambrain.com or IM me at WizofAwz

8:36 pm - Dragon Casting
|
As a reminder, we're doing the first round of casting for Dragon tomorrow at 7pm - so if you're planning on signing up and haven't, you might want to go ahead and do so. We'll still be taking signups after, but signing up now gets you cast with everyone else (and thus gets you a character that best fits your sheet).

Anyone know anything about printers? I'm looking at the HP 4014 as a new printer for Foam Brain (as we gear up for large weekend long LARP printing again) - anyone have any suggestions? recommendations?

11:50 am - Lullaby of Broadway: Episode 1 Encore
|
Foam Brain Productions is excited to announce that we are running an encore run of Mike Young's exceedingly successful weekend long TS style game, "Lullaby of Broadway: Episode 1" in the Boston area, at Brandeis University, Feb 6-8, 2009.
The blurb is after the cut. The page to sign up is: http://lullaby.foambrain.com. Additionally, we are offering dreamcasting for this game, similar to the first run. Dreamcasting is a chance to goof around and pretend to cast the Broadway shows in this larp. It’s available at: http://dreamcast.foambrain.com. We once again are able to offer crash space for people coming in from out of town.
Please feel free to drop me a line at andrew@foambrain.com or leave a comment if you need more information or have any questions.
Thanks! I hope to see you all there!

11:14 pm - Wierd Shopping Lists \ Fall Flyer Box
|
Once again I'm doing the weird shopping list thing. Foam Brain stuff this week:
- Fake flowers
- Sculptey
- Chocolates (to replace the disgusting 3+ year old chocolate for a minigame)
- Fake nice sword
- Fake AK47
- Clown Makeup and Clown Noses
- (maybe - still trying to decide)- Real handcuffs with Foam Brain Productions engraved on the side. On one hand, real handcuffs seems like such a bad idea for us to own, but all of the fake ones we've seen seem children sized, and people have complained about being hurt by them in games. What do you all think?
So, the other thing, as Fall Con season starts this week, I'm replenishing my flyer box with game flyers that should be brought to random cons this fall. Anyone have any?

10:05 pm - Foam Brain Productions Fall LARPing Schedule
|
Since it seems to have become tradition to post here first, I give you all, my faithful LJ readers, the fall schedule. This is tentative and subject to change:
Aug 29th ( - 30th if 2 runs): Fifth Annual Final Voyage of the Mary Celeste - once again we will give brand new freshmen and anyone who has somehow missed this one the chance to play our absolute favorite minigame. NOTE: Unlike most of our other games, we use paper forms for this one. If you need to sign up, you should probably see someone or find me online to get a form.
Sept 26 - 28: Minigame madness - some of the minigames we missed out on last year. Likely Scaerbridge, Salem is Burning and another game or two
Oct 3 - 5: Secrets of the Necronomicon at WPI - We will again be running the classic SILWest weekend long game Secrets of the Necronomicon. Crash space is available - more information will be posted soon about the game and signups.
Nov 7 - 9: Torch of Freedom at RPI - We are exceedingly excited to be presenting this year's fall weekend long LARP at RPI, the fantastic "Torch of Freedom" by Bruce Glassco and several others. This game is really good - it's fresh, exciting, and different than games we have run in the past. The flyer will be available this week, I hope.
Nov 14 - 16: Intercon Mid-Atlantic. I believe we will be submitting a contest game or two, but I am awaiting the exact details.
Reading Days, or the weekend before - Fall Weekend of Hell - Minigames, minigames and more minigames. Yay!
Hopefully we'll see you at a bunch of these :) There's crash space for everything, of course (I have a shiny new guest room, even). LMK if you have any questions, comments, etc :D Flyers for the 2 weekend longs this week or next :-D
current mood: excited

(crossposted to Connecticon lj group)
Hey folks - i wanted to let everyone know about an exciting event happening at Connecticon this year - a weekend-long LARP called Nexus. This game is free for everyone who is signed up for the convention and is great no matter how much of the weekend you would like to spend on it.
The game itself takes place at Connecticon, only something strange is going on...
Below the cut is a description of the game - if you'd like to sign up, go to http://nexus.foambrain.com - for more information or if you've got any questions, feel free to drop me a line via IM (WizOfAwz), or via Livejournal.
Thanks - and I look forward to seeing you all again this year at Connecticon!

1:54 pm - New Car

So with my car pretty much down for the count (it doesn't start about half the time and its not any of the obvious issues) :-( (and, ugh, I *really* wanted to go to Void Stalkers... :(), I guess its time to start looking for a new one.
Any ideas? I'm kind of looking at the Honda Pilot...
