I am running a Firefly Larp this year at Dragoncon that just got approved two days ago. It should be up on the Website soon so keep a look out. You fans can contact me to reserve a spot and also pick what type of character you want to play just by emailing me or contacting me over aim.

Thanks

larp is Live Action Role Playing. basucally you do what the character would...within reason of course...as your paper and pencil character would. Costume not required, but recommended.

Ok to answer some of the questions.

A larp - it was explained pretty well in the previous post. It is a Role Playing Game i.e. D&D that you actually take on the role of a person in the universe and act it out with other people. There is a rules system to resolve things like shoot outs and the such but no actual weapons or touching of other players.

Next, the game is going to be held from 6pm till roughly midnight on Sat of the con weekend. I hope this will allow for more people to show up as that most pannels shut down around that time. If you are a little late that isn't a problem either.

The System - The system we are using is basicl the Uni System that is used in the Buffy and Angel RPG I feel it is simple and it captures the adventuresque nature of the show.

Lastly, I have been informed that the Larp staff is trying to get at least some of the staff to partake or at least make a cameo in the game if at all possible so it could be possible to try and outwit the Supremely talented Capt. Mal or get shot with Vera. You never know.

Thanks again,

Ryan
