kingandyFirst, a full and accurate summary of X-Men 3 (no spoilers).
Second, a full and mostly accurate summary of Serenity.
I enjoyed it, though I did sleep a lot and have some interesting bruises and stings. I don't do enough Sci-Fi LRP, and I do have a deep and abiding love for the Firefly universe, so I had a hoot. I should also crew more. I don't think I give enough back to the LRP "community." Though it has been said that my very presence is gift enough.
From a crewing point of view I was marginally disappointed at the 24-hour-time-in nature of the event. Not because crew were headed out to pester the players at all hours - I slept through all that - but because a certain amount of motivation for crewing is to hang out and get drunk with the players after time out. I would like to experience the game from a player point of view, and will try very much to sign up in time for the next game. I am not sure if I would crew again. It was a long way to drive. Maybe if I arranged some sort of car-share setup.
Anyway ... had fun, dressed as cowboy, talked about space technology in awful southern accents[1]. There was no real way it could have gone wrong...
EDITED TO ADD: One thing that amused me was how many Firefly-class ships were present through the game. There was at least one crew with an extant vessel, another who had recently parted company with such a craft, and there was alleged to be another one in Sunday's auction (this turned out not to be the case). Given the scarcity and age of these craft I found this very unlikely IC - but perfectly understandable OOC. ;)
[1] Yes, plural. My recurring engineer character slipped further and further into Owen Wilson, and the dodgy forgery delivery boy was played as Sawyer from Lost. I didn't put that much thought into it at the time, it just happened.

Date: 2006-06-05 12:18 pm (UTC)FireflyFans.net posits that "There are 40,000 Firefly class vessels still in use." I don't know whether that's common or not. I was just assuming from the age and decrepit state of Serenity when Mal bought it. (And, I think, the disparaging looks it had from various people through the series, but I could be imagining that.)
I think, at the end of the day, in the movie and the few episodes that got made, nobody really talks about whether they're commonplace, so I guess it's up to the refs.
