…the Call Centre of Cthulhu!
I would love any feedback and stories from the game. It looked pretty nuts from where we were standing.
productive feed back:
Informing a player that a stat they have will become apparent later… only to it not… is not productive gming.
Destructive feedback:
While I do muse over the jaunty gags at how one should play to one’s strengths do I really need encouragement to do so by being given roles that are basically me? Not really… I play the characters I play in the main storyline games they way they are for a reason and currently only one of them sums up my personality…
Actually we said it might become relevant 
That particular stat did have relevance. It was coded into the symbol on your badge. We weren’t entirely sure if we’d managed to weed out all the abilities that relied on that number being known by the PC so we left it in just in case. But yes, I agree, it would have seemed pretty confusing and irrelevant. If we ever run it again, we’ll take them off the character sheets where it doesn’t do anything. Thanks 
I am genuinely sorry if my jaunty quip about us playing to people strength’s cause offence, I certainly didn’t mean to imply people could and should only play one sort of character. People do tend to be particularly good at playing certain things, and as GMs, one does need to careful against casting someone as something just because they’re good at it or because they play it a lot. The comment was intended to be somewhat self-deprecating as we did (particularly in the case of Porl, to whom I first made the comment, in response to his forlorn and long suffering sigh about playing the bad guy again) sometimes play to people roleplaying strengths in order to carry a few key roles. We did spend a lot of time very carefully discussing casting, trying to put people into roles they would enjoy as well as do well in. You were one of the last minute sign ups, and of the few characters we had left, it was one of the better choices, and one of the one less suitable for the first-timers, and we didn’t have a lot of time debate. We hoped it would be a character you’d enjoy and do well as.
If you ever decide to give one of my games a go in the future, I promise to cast you completely against type
I am not sure if i should be intrigued or afraid 
Thanks again to all the players and all the GMs for a great night of larping.
So good to see all of you Aucklanders! And remember, as your HR Manager if you have any concerns at any time feel free to contact me for a confidential one-on-one.
Thanks everyone it was great fun to come up and game with you all, cheers for making me feel welcome again.
Bryn.
I would be very keen to hear how this went down…
I’ll send you an email Thank you guys so much for making the original material available to us. Though we changed and added a lot, we really springboarded off all the awesome concepts inherently present in your game.
Hmm what to say what to say.
Well I have to wonder what I ever did to get my character
have to say it was … whats the word… different… yes different to have to play a character that in a role that is so close to what I do for a job that its odd… well maybe not the marketting side of what I was doing at the game.
Have to say I think I managed to get a lot more people interested in my particular product near the end of the night given they had seen so much other weird stuff.
Oh and I have to remember to give people information more readily… too many years of pollitical larps
Very well done to the GM’s and well what can i say about the prop I carried around during the night :mrgreen:
That was one odd prop… Epic, but odd.
THEY TOLD ME I WAS MAD. MAD THEY SAID!
Well, Rowena did, anyway She said it wouldn’t work to make a meatbaby. She admitted she was wrong after she saw my awesome meatbaby. My only regret is that I didn’t think to take a photo before dumping it in the bin at the end of the night.
(For those that have no idea what I’m on about: Zane’s character was an entreprenour who was selling sausages in the shape of a baby! I made it using ten sausages, some twine and drew a smiley face on it with a vivid 
)
definitely mad
Alice is just glad I didn’t ask to take it home as a momento… which realistically would of been all levels of wrong and icky badness.
And as I kept telling people “I know there are ‘things’ out there I am just catering to their needs”
Yes, I’m also voting for “mad Anna”. I don’t know if E.H. seems madder trying to convince people to invest in this purely theoretical disgusting object, or if he does so while waving around a proof-of-concept genuine article.
Reading over these characters again - man, this game is even weirder than I remember. And I remember it being pretty weird.
It was always the geese, turtles and rabbits that got me.
I quite liked Jim, the ghost that lived in the calculator
Is that what Jim was?
I loved it, it was weird to have a sister (thanks Clare and your white fluffy puppy obsession) and Patch as a Dad “Ahh I see you have met my lovely daughters?.. Oh no, you are not a manager…Come here girls.” Also aiming to work for the vampires and being stalked by a demon dog (Sorry Hamish if I got you in the face with the evil Impulse spray, I certainly wasn’t aiming too.)
It was great fun. Would have been interesting the the joint effect had kicked in… hell the whole thing was interesting.
Turtles?
“ARGH! THE VINES! THE FLOWERS, THE SICKLY PURPLE FLOWERS!”
I STILL STATE THAT JIM IS REAL!!! I CAN PROVE IT! turns calculator upside down See? He’s saying “Hello.”! HE IS REAL DAMMIT!
But dammit Blair… why’d you have to burst my bubble at the end of the night and say that Jim wasn’t real and that it was ALL IN MY HEAD?! >:I
Now that I think about it though… Blair was like my main GM for the night… whenever I needed him, he was RIGHT THERE! (Did you have a call button? Kidding!)
Another thing… Was being aliens another thing that was in my head as well??? O_o
Over all, Breakout Day was really awesome and I’m glad I got to be a part of it! I honestly don’t think I would give up playing Leslie Lane the Touched for another character… I enjoyed playing her immensely and of course, whenever things got dull with me, I always had Jim to talk to. Apart from teh times he went all silent on me… xD
THANK YOU FOR TEH WONDERFUL GAME ANNA, BLAIR AND ROWENA!!!
