Attending Empire Larp

So I am going to do something that is normally incredibly unwise and tell y'all where I am going to be ahead of time.

If you are attending Empire LARP in the UK this week, you can find me running Hadrian’s Hall in the Urizen camp.

Just remember, I will be in character and so will try to sell you a drink and/or threaten to cut your arms off.

You have been warned.

Any highlights from the LARP? I was one of the many bards that ended up gathered by Hadrian's Hall Saturday night - had no idea you were running it!!

Since you asked:

Friday: Tending bar till 3am, apparently I’ve still “got it”.

Saturday: Went monstering and ended up being made leader of the elite units, destroyed my voice then my body. Came back to discover I had accidentally become the hot bar of Empire. Turned down purchase offers, met imperial taster, hosted an orchestra (sort of), got pressganged into blind knife fighting and a tug of war (winning both and showing off outrageously) also a light amount of running through the woods murdering people.

Sunday: Awake bright eyed and bushy tailed. Go to battle, get traumatic wound meaning I can’t run, lose the same leg 6 times, get cut off, haemorrhage 36 hit points (for reference base players have 2 TOTAL) then die. There was nothing left for a funeral.

Need to work on a new, less vanilla character now people know me but I can confirm a relative will inherit Hadrian’s Hall and it will stay in business.

TLDR: My first character finally got everything he wanted then immediately got turned into hamburger meat. He burned like a comet then fucked off just as fast.

thoughts on the cube rule of food? i was talking about this with my friends the other day and people had some interesting takes

https://cuberule.com/ - a detailed breakdown of the cube rule of food

I like it.

I already use my own cube rule of food though:

1) Can the food be crushed into a cube?
2a) If yes, do so, then eat.
2b) If no, do not eat.
