Am trying to think of a general LRP cartoon strip for "Legend" magazine. My basic precondition is that it should be about LARPers rather than characters in a LARP, because the magazine covers all genres. Current nebulous ideas:

1) Setup: LARP widow (metaphorically) trying her best to get involved with husband/partner's hobby.
Potential: Analyse hobby from outside perspective, poke fun at selves and also mundanes. Much eye-rolling. Conflict = good comedy.
Possible title: "Married to the Monster" (weak)

2) Setup: Shared living space occupied by several LARPers with different interests - Vampire, Club, Fest, Sci-Fi, etc.
Potential: Comedy would probably be more specific and character-based than "aren't we silly". Could occasionally touch on differences between genres maybe.
Possible title: "Where LARP lives" or something oh God I don't know.

I think I'm favouring the second one. The "players" could have a character in each genre, and the strip would switch between IC and OOC ... it works in my head, I'm just not sure I could get it onto paper in any sort of cohesive format.

I go now for D&D. BYE BYE

Of course! I am a fool, that would work very well.

You could have a core of LRPer characters, and then occasional appearences by non-LRPers, like the LRP-widow, the baffled parents, the re-acurring dog walker.
