Walton | Seven, it's more that I was thinking of Montsegur as an example of increasing number of freeform or semi-larp games, like A Penny for My Thoughts, A Flower for Mara, and the like. In some of these games, you act out scenes, while in others you sit around the table and describe them, and some are agnostic about how you perform them. | |
| Aug 29, 2010 at 21:20 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie | Incidentally, I'm curious what you mean by "semi-larp". Is there something about Montsegur 1244 that I missed reading it, or is this just an unusual way of saying "freeform scenes"? | |
