Hi

I'm actually on the ref team for the SINergy Cyberpunk LARP  

Our Re-launch session ison the Oct 6th and we were previously held in critical aclaim with a dedicated player base and web presence until the venue changed management.

With a new venue confirmed and contracted, timeline and rules system under construction we are back in business in true Nova Roma style.

Check the site for details www.SINergylarp.com for more details, we hope to have around 100 people for the first session which will allow for the most cyberpunk atmosphere possible.

Drop me aline at Archangel_Virgil@yahoo.com hope to see you there

Well if you want ot get on the cyberpunk larp scene coem on down (or up) for a session and see if ya likes it

If you need a place to stay we can definatley sort you guys out and trust me it's a great night out.

If money's a problem (I think it's a tad expensive to get up to notts from essex) then we can waver your first session price (do NOT tell the other refs I said that). I know it's not much but if it helps at all...

Other than that I thikn there's only one other cp larp I really know of and that's run by Cardiff uniy larp peeps and I don't even know if their running anymore.

If there are more LARPS out there PLEASE LEAVE POSTS SO THAT WE KNOW WERE NOT ALONE OUT THERE!!!

Hi guys

I've just gotta say that I havn't posted here much as times been a bit spare but I have to say thank you for the reviews guys, I'm really gald you liked it, i hope to see both of you for the Nightmare ASylum battle of the bands on August the 5th and Annie don'worry your chars not dead if you wanna play er next session we'll work something out

Hope to see a few more reviews

Chris

Hey Annie

Had a good time last week with the gang ... thanks

I have to say Annie that being as you've just started playing you may not hav noticed that 95 percent of teh plot in that room is player led...we just help it along.

The mutant stuff was stated by players and all teh tsuff you've seen so far was brought together by a colaboration of us and the players.

Trust me it's not the same structure as the chesterfield system. I think you'll see this coming session

By the way we have players from scotland and wales as well as london and all over the bloody country...

Come along people next sesion is on the 1st of July

Chris

Another of the great writers bites the bullet...

At least he WILL live on in his work.

Here's hoping re-incarnation actually works

Rest in Peace Mr. Adams

Hmmm

70-80 people are because (and I ain't ego tripping) is that the role players I hae ever had the pleasure of gaming with in my life. the idea of shades is kinda roleplay based rather than ruleplay based...

ICE if you want to start one in Canada I'll see if we can allow the release of our rule system to you guys, it'd be cool to spread the MIRRORSAHDES over the big blue wet thing if your interested.

Thorn, the interest we have was generated by making contact with the right people and generating enough entusiasm to keep them.

Also as a ref listen to everything they have to say, it's really important to make sure they all have an equal voive in both the plot and story arcs as well as the game engine and other inner workings.

Finally advertise over the are your in, not just the city but all over. After our advertiseing is complete were looking at a player attnedance of around 100, not bad for a monthly LARP.

On the plot side, don't limit yourself to save the world garbage that really turns off players. They wanna play low down dirty punks, street scumb solos having to do the ccrappy jobs for cash and deckers selling their soul for the newest version of tehir hardware. It's cool and the atmosphere is incredible, if you don't believe me check out the Nightmare Asylum forum on the offical site...

Is annie around she's one of our players

Hiya

eee gad shamless plug

The Mirrorshades site has an I.C msg board that has over 800posts since it started about a month ago. Mass player stuff that does not depend on the session plot as it has taken a mindof it's own.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND It

Hi everybody

Sorry it's been a while since I posted (think it was the William Gibson discussion) anyway this is just to say HI!!! I'm back and also to kinda start a discussion on cyberpunk LARP.

I know allot of you are not interested by the prospect in the slightest...However we ere at shades know that there is only one other cuberpunk LARP in Britain (wales it still counts) and were pulling 70-80 players a monthly session so I know there are fans out there!!!!!

What I want to know is where your all hiding!

Also the pros and cons of LARP cyberpunk, have any of you experienced it before...did you enjoy it, what problems did you have etc etc.

I'm hoping for a good response cause I know that even if you havn't larped everybody who punks wants to BE their chars for at least a few hours...

So every punk on the site please give me some feedback, I'd love to know what you think.

Thanks

Yeah

My girlfriend still thinks I do the washing...Since mirrorshades started it's been piling up.

God I hope she dosn't open that cuboard door in a hurry, could be messy...no onsite medics

It;s one of those evil marketing ploys...

AHA you think you have a working lighter...two days later...Your wrong HAHAHA arn't we clever.

The answer no...Time to manufacture a lighter that works along with numerous other products....

Contraceptive for instance (that dosn't invloving ripping testicles off)

Chris

Hi

Once again www.mirrorshades.co.uk has been updated. There is now a Forum and Chat rooms so flex those fingers and enjoy.

I'm impressed the new site as a whole is coming along really well...

Problem is if you keep it fractured for much longer you might start losing a few hits and have to start all over again when the new one comes on-line.

even so it's looking good but lets get some more peeps posting!

I have to disagree on some levels...

I mean he did use the technological terror he created as a crutch on a few occasions, which by todays standards have become rather mundane in the face of the science fiction revolution.

However he was a pioneer and his writing style isn't completly structured around the basis of the world and it's immediate settings, it instead can be very detailed without relience on that technological term "dribble".

But yeah sometimes he dosn't know when to curb that discriptive arc

Hi Guys...

Speaking as someone who's both read Gibson and is also in the process of reading them again I have to say the detailed facts of CP 2020 may by different but many of the ethics remain the same.

Gibson had an original vision of a humanity in the future, the key word being humanity, actual cgaracteristics of todays society but with the difference of morality brought about by the hardships of such a drastic change...Mix this with a heathly dose of nostalgia and you have Gibson's future...

Unfortunatly the game consontrates on more of the technologiccal terror, weapons, corps, cults etc. and sadly lacks the quality of humanity Gibson installs so predominatly...Especially as although Gibsonmay share these features, they are not a focal point but rather an illustration of the world to come, a faiure or evolutionary step taken over whta we as a combined culture face today.

CP 2020 has not got that sense of things to come but rather defines in guidelines a new world rather than an extension of the present.

But there again what do you expect of a collection of rules books and culture guides...It's the gamesmasters job as Storytellors to bring the humanity out of the players instead of going...

GM = "An armed man approaches you..."

PC's = "LET'S WASTE HIM!".

If people cannot do that they aren't blending themselves into the world, in other words falling prey to bad PCing or GMing.

If you look at the basic fundamental structures of the worlds their pretty similar, it's up to you to define the people who live in them. Gibson does it one way, maybe you do it differently...

But there is no future other than the one your comfortable in making...I wish real life was that simple.
