The con

I think I had quite a lot of fun at the con. The LARP was based on the play Hamlet, and as I have never read Hamlet, I was Guildenstern. I could spread rumors, look trustworthy, stab people, or do a general physical check (which could include stabbing people, but for less damage). The other guy who hadn't read the book was Rosenkrantz. Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern played virtually identically. In the end, I nearly killed the queen, died and went insane. Hamlet killed Claudius. Hamlet and Ophelia married, and all was good. Hamlet was the new king. I get the feeling that the ending to our LARP was nothing anywhere near the same as the ending of the original play. Oh, and for going insane, I dragged a tree around everywhere and hid behind it.
