Executive Decision

Auckland
#21

Technically, you’re supposed to submit a project plan, but since you’re not asking for any resources such as props or funds (and our procedures are still being laid down) I don’t think it matters! I would think the meeting tonight will happily approve this project.

On a side note, though, (speaking as treasurer here) you’ll need to submit a final account (money in, money out) for the paperwork, we’ll need this for all future projects since we’re going for Incorporation.

Sounds a fun game, I’d like to be in but I don’t know if I’ll have the time. Maybe I’ll turn up on the day, if you dont get fully booked.

Sure thing, will keep careful track of the costs and income.

#23

The cost for LARPS members will be $3, not $2 as I said before. Slightly underestimated my costs.

Craig, if you could update the calendar entry that’d be great.

Game is on next Wednesday folks. Get in touch if you’re keen.

Okay, Executive Decision is on next Wednesday and there are still spaces available. All are welcome.

I’m going to mail out copies of the rules to the players so you get a chance to read them over before the game, to avoid downtime before we start. Mordavia players, I probably have your addresses already. Other players, if you could PM them to me that’d be great.

Just post here if you’re interested in playing. Executive Decision is the ultimate low-requirement larp. The rules fit on one piece of paper, there are no game mechanics, you wear modern clothes, and we’re playing on a weeknight so it’s not using going out time.

I may have forgotten to mention this, but after each scenario everyone gets awarded points for how well they have achieved their agendas, and someone wins! And who said that there are no winners in roleplaying…

EDIT: if you like to pay by bank transfer and avoid forgetting-cash-on-day syndrome, my account is 12-3220-0222979-00 - let me know if you make a transfer.

I mailed out several copies of the rules on Friday, let me know if you got them and what you think. Bear in mind that this is someone else’s work, so don’t be shy about criticism if you’ve got some.

Personally I think it’s all going to come down to the scenarios, which I haven’t read so can’t vouch for. But they’re written by some big names, hopefully that’s a good sign. Dennis Detwiller, Ron Edwards, these are well-known names in the RPG trade.

Game’s tomorrow. More people still welcome.

I’ll come downstairs at 131 Queen St (opposite Vulcan Lane) at 6pm, and round up whoever’s there and take you up to the office. It’s secured, so you’ll need me to get you in.

If anyone turns up late and needs to be let in, call on 027-251-1343 and I’ll come down and get you.

Cheers everyone, definately fun all round. I do enjoy a good political game!

Totally exhausting though. Definately a lot more scope for more games around that ruleset - and I know there are others that would be keen to come and play if we ran it again.

Adam, what’s your estimated time until we can get the photos up? Feel free to email them to me for web hosting - exquire@gmail.com

Excellent game, I had a great time.

Definitely up for more!

Cool, I reckon that game has a great structure and the scenarios were thought-provoking. We had six players and it seemed like the perfect number. The issues were fairly deep. If we’d had more people I don’t think everyone would have got their say.

I particularly liked the point-scoring aspect, it provided a great impetus for trying to push your agendas.

Well played all!

We played the first two of the five scenarios that come with the game. The floor is definitely open to play the other three sometime. I may get around to organising it (or may not, I have a lot of ideas perculating), but if you can’t wait then I’m happy for anyone else to have a crack at running it (especially if it’s under LARPS). There’s really nothing to running it, and I’m happy to modify the banner I made for a new date and chuck it back up.
