NZLARPs minutes 1 June 2015
Start: 7:40pm
In attendance: Daena Schofield (phone), Prema Cottingham, Mikaere Curtis, Dave, Walter Hamer, Clare Stones
Amendments to make to last minutes:
- Prema moved that the Moonbright budget for Game 3 be accepted
- There is someone from SkyTV coming to the game to film.
Prema moves that we accept the minutes (pending above amendments) -> Minutes unanimously accepted.
Filming at Moonbright:
- Nobody has been in touch to indicate they don’t want to be filmed.
- Filming to be done by a presenter from “Crowd Gone Wild” show.
- Discussion of filming – eg. headband of certain color for people who don’t want to be filmed (so they can be blurred out)?
Action points:
- Walter and James to review budget template
- Prema and Walter have organized to catch up with Patrick tomorrow night re. Armageddon.
Finance report (Walter):
Money coming in steadily for Chimera, Moonbright, Dry Spell, Hogwarts.
Gear (Mike):
Mike was away for a couple of weeks, Walter and Tigger took care of it while he was gone
We don’t need to do a gear rationalization at the moment. No weekend games using it, and map of gear shed makes gear easy and organized to find.
However going through some of the older boxes would be a good idea.
Marketing Report (Prema):
- Prema has requested Ryan add Moonbright and Hogwarts to Auckland What is Larp page, and remove Chrono Continuum as no longer running.
- Prema is meeting Patrick regarding Armageddon, has also discussed with Ryan. Likely that there will be a joint Crucible / NZLARPs / Paddywhack stall.
- Chimera – good sign-ups, almost full already!
Upcoming LARPs: - Dry Spell
- Hogwarts
- Moonbright Game 3
Full on players; one new one is attending. 3 Wellington players and some more have signed up to crew. Currently on 16 players and 15 crew.
All character sheets have been sent in! - Crucible Festival of Fools
- Chimera
Future thoughts:
- Planning ahead for a flagship for after Crucible winds up
- Possibly look at supporting smaller games (including a smaller weekend game), and reducing or redistributing gear – as the gear storage is our biggest cost. No need to act now, but we may need to act later.
- Marketing – need a better marketing presence. Mike has got free hosting for a website, but will need other people with technical skills in the community to assist with building it.
Daena is writing a game for Chimera, would like a co-writer, or some assistance with character reviewing.
Meeting finished: 8:21pm.
