LARPage and other news
We ran Grove of Fallen Leaves again — outside among actual trees again for the first time since the playtest. It really makes a huge difference to the atmosphere. Thanks to Akika for providing the garden and NPCing the dryad. 
We recruited four new LARPers, who were all very good, and ended up with a strong cast. All in all, it was a pretty good running, although it got a bit cold by the end and I completely forgot to take photos (I am told that other people took photos, however).
Toothpastedealer is down here from the US, and he brought me the Black Dossier (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen vol. 2.5). It is very cool. I also have a crapload of books (without pictures); I am currently reading Hunter’s Run (which was written by Daniel Abraham, Gardner Dozois and George R. R. Martin — two of my favourite writers and my favourite SF editor — and therefore cannot possibly not be awesome).
Hodgestar and I are in the middle of Season 2 of Avatar: The Last Airbender. I love this show.
I think I said I would write some kind of LARP for Dragonfire. I still don’t know what it is. I am suddenly inspired to write a serious political LARP set in the D&D fantasy universe — with the assumption that alignment doesn’t exist, and that the craziest evil antics attributed to societies like the Drow and the Yuan-ti are dirty human and elven propaganda. The D&D universe is fundamentally very silly, and this is completely not what I was planning to write a LARP about earlier this year, and it is thus completely unsurprising that it’s a million times more appealing right now than my carefully planned gritty SF idea. I blame Goblins.
