Planting a flag - 13th July

So, the 12th of July 2013 is the 10th anniversary of mine and sheyna's wedding. We plan to do something on Saturday the 13th of July. I am planting a flag now, even though there are details to be arranged.

July being July, this will inevitably clash will all manner of other things. This is unavoidable. Still, with some effort and preparation, perhaps whatever we decide to do will be able to hold its own in the crowded chronological marketplace.

To an extent, we are still weighing up the variables of budget, numbers, dynamics and having clearly thwarted the Mayans.

Anyway, this is something of an early warning. Its probably fair to say that there is an openness to suggestions at this juncture.

Meta-LRP

So, 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...
