How The Hell Did It Come To This...

...where I dread the thought of sitting down to create a larp character because I know two thirds of it will be thrown out for reworking?
Where I feel that playing a character involves my mind being put under the microscope for all-comers to dissect and throw in their 2cp worth?
Where I have grown so sick of people expressing their opinions to me that I spend four hours ranting to my own girlfriend about how I hate how it all looks from here?
Somewhere down the line, it all went horribly, horribly wrong.

Date: 2006-06-13 11:13 pm (UTC)I know it's said with the best of intentions, but I knew why they were dying. It was part of the character concept to a)not leave combat, as per my oath b)act like the warrior he thought he was. People telling me to 'run away, you'd survive longer' seemed to me to be suggesting I hadn't realised why.

Date: 2006-06-13 10:40 pm (UTC)I really want to try the new things suggested for next year, but I can't be bothered to submit my ideas to the scrutiny again and be forced to endure people's suggested tweaks under the guise of "just my opinion".

Date: 2006-06-13 10:43 pm (UTC)currently we are reworking the shire to fit character concepts. Yes there is a limit to how much it can stretch before it breaks the proposed campaign area, but then we'll ask that that character background comes from outside the area. we hope that we can accomodate 50% of the current club, and 75% of the new intake.
if it is LT...
it's more of a problem, as so much is changing. I do think that only a talkative character will get anywhere this year, because a quiet character will never find out there's a cataclysm happening.

Date: 2006-06-13 11:09 pm (UTC)My background would fit directly within the shire. It would be intended to. Right now, however, I don't have half the information I require in order that the v1.0 idea I would create from what I have been given background-wise doesn't need changing to fit the setting. Do I dare ask for anything else to be nailed down, or should I just duck and cover?
