The Coming Apocalypse

We've discovered that my friends daughter would be like, the best apocalypse baby in the world.  While walking through the woods the other day, I had her on my back. She would hold on tight, and duck when told to.  Just gotta work on her not moving when she's told to stay :p but she's a toddler...and this isn't the real apocalypse, so I figure we have time...

Which brings me to Mystic Realms' Apocalyptic Earth game coming up on Saturday. I'm hoping to be able to go down later in the day and NPC (thats a non-player character for those of you who still hold a shread of "cool factor")  fingers crossed, I will be able to leave the area at like 3:30 and be there by dinner time.

I'm redonkulously excited by the fact that Mystic Realms has so many different opportunities and genres for playing. You just don't see that enough. I'm crossing my fingers for a Steampunk game soon...or maybe I will just run one...

A Broken World

I'm hoping to be able to go down to Millville for Mystic Realms' Apocalypse event on the 14th.

I really like the Apocalypse events because it's a chance to explore a new scenario. I got into LARPing with Glory of Guildhall and Empire of Tyrs, so having the chance to do a post-apocalyptic event is still pretty new to me.  It's alot more desperate than GoG, which I like.

One of my favorite things about Mystic Realms is all the different kinds of genres they have to do. Between Sci-Fi, Apoc, Horrors, Steampunk, and everything else we do, It's a great change of scenery without having to learn new rules systems or going through events as someone who doesnt know anyone.

Speaking of horrors, I've got to get writing...

Mystic Realms Larp

In all of my 23 years on this planet, few things have given me more joy than LARPing.  Not just in the blatant "I larp, and it's fun, which makes me happy" sense, but the effect this hobby has had on my life goes much deeper than that.  I met my best friends and my boyfriend there.  It has given me leadership skills, professional skills and acting skills.  I have found patience, support and a desire to expand horizons all withthis new hobby that I discovered by accident during my first semester at community college.

Through the years, Mystic Realms has grown up with me.  The players and characters have blossomed from people I saw one weekend a month to the people I see on a regular basis. They are the people I live with, the people I work with, and the people I choose to spend nearly every waking moment with, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Mystic Realms has allowed me to be more creative than any outlet I have ever been a part of.  I have grown as a person and a leader because of it, and I am so very grateful to have Mystic Realms to call home.
