The Colonial Union Needs You!

[etherial]

After last Intercon, rosinavs told me she wanted to write and run a "big" LARP. Our previous LARP, Resurrect Me, Please was a lightly paced storytelling game for 11 people. This time around, she wants something a little bigger. After some discussion, including of this coming Intercon's theme, "Orbit", we hit upon the idea of running a game based on John Scalzi's Old Man's War Series. That's where you come in.

We're looking for two groups of people:

1) People who are interested in writing a 30+ person LARP based on a military science fiction series.

2) People who have read the series who are interested in helping us discuss some of the questions raised by the series, whether we should try to answer them in our LARP, and, if so, what those answers should be.

Comments will likely be full of spoilers. If you are of the first type and want to read the books before viewing the comments, we have the whole series.

It sounds intriguing. I've never read the books, though, and I'd want to at least start one to get a feel for the universe before I can commit to definite interest. Perhaps we can discuss more at GNEW?

we can.

This sounds fantastic.

I've read Old Man's War, maybe one other.
