After the fantastic time everyone had at the 1930s LARP, I’ve decided to finally get my a into g and develop my often-pondered trashy-soap-opera one-off LARP, to be run in Auckland mid-next-year.
I’ve got a basic plot, and in lieu of actually studying for my Linguistics exam I’ve formed a few basic family trees. What I’m after now are crazy miniplots, twists, and character traits to make the whole thing as ludicrous as possible.
I thought I’d made it pretty weird, then watched Days Of Our Lives today (for research purposes, obviously ) and realised I wasn’t even close.
So far I’ve covered:
- amnesia
- illegitimate children
- illicit affairs
- baby-swapping
- secret identities
- covered-up murder
- the family drunk
- enough half-siblings to form a baseball team
Any other ideas/interest?
