Well. That was a thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve written 31 characters in 31 days before. In truth, I don’t think I’ve ever run a convention LARP that didn’t <\/em>have a pre-gen death march as part of my prep. Those efforts were always single-system and single-setting, though. This was rough, and I know my quality was rather variable across all the entries. It was much more of a time suck than I thought it would be, too. When I’m writing LARP pre-gens, I estimate a minimum of one hour per character, and I suspect I exceeded that in this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Was it rewarding? Yeah, to a point. But that point was sometime in the 20s, when it turned into a slog and all the fun sort of evaporated. I had to force myself to grind out the last eight or ten. While every system I used is something I’ve played or run at least once, most of these required at least some degree of refamiliarization before I could start building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Will I do it again? Enh… maybe? I have a limited amount of creative energy these days, and part of my rationale for taking on this project was the fact that I didn’t have any other creative projects in the hopper when I committed to this in late December. For future years, we’ll see what else I have going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since I like indexes, here’s an index of every system and character for this iteration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1 – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness<\/em> – Kabu, California Coyote Ninja Avenger<\/a> Well.
