Attention Players - opinions needed for Immersion

Hi everyone,

For the next issue of Immersion, I’m putting together an article on being a player in a larp, and I’d like to collect as many views and opinions on the matter as a I can. The article is on the trials and joys of being a player.

So if you could take a look at the questions below and Private Message your answers to me. You don’t have to answer all the questions.

The Questions

  1. Do you prefer to be a PC over an NPC or a GM?
  2. What do you find the most enjoyable about the player experience? How does it differ from the experience of being crew/GM? (in terms of experience, not in terms of game mechanics)
  3. What is hardest about being a PC?
  4. What kind of characters do you like to play? Easy ones? Challenging ones? Do you make all your PCs different, or like to keep playing the same kind of thing?
  5. In your view, what are the responsibilities of a player in contributing to the game and story?

I’ve had two wonderful people send me their thoughts on being a player, and I’m really keen to get more views. Please consider taking a few minutes - you’ll likely end up quoted!

Thanks :slight_smile:

Will PM you tonight Anna.

Thanks to everyone who responded, I really apprecaite the time you took to answer the questions. Even if I don’t quote you, please know that your thoughts contributed to the overall article :slight_smile:
