misterdanielSo, after the SHIELD experiment, a somewhat curious notion occurred and appeals to me:
The idea of running an event in which people are invited to turn up as themselves, and be themselves. Only, as outlined through the brief/chargen process, they are actually Something Else that is attending the social occasion in the guise of their everyday self. Evil twins... Robot doubles... We all know the tropes.
In terms of building an immersive setting, reality has to rate as a viable tool, right?
Plus, if participation is optional, then the social occasion is open to non-game-participants who will happily represent the masses ignorant of great hidden secret factions with pitch-perfect briefing.
Also, the possibility that this LJ entry may have something to do with the prior LJ entry would be a matter of pure speculation...
