kingandyI'm beginning to see what some people mean when they say invite-only LRP is a bad thing. It's quite depressing when one doesn't get invited.
Some friends of mine are going to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
delvy's Fading Suns game. They said it would be fantastic, and I should go too. Perusing his website I found the characters were pregenerated and prebriefed - fair enough, thought I, it's like an Interactive Literature game. I've played a couple of those, and I'm also used to playing prewritten parts with varying degrees of freedom while monstering. It's always great fun. So I picked out a couple of characters I was interested in and lobbed an email his way. A week passed with no word, and arwel mentioned he'd had to send a phone number and have a chat before being let in, so as delvy could get a handle on which character he'd be best suited for. I decided it was worth a try, though by now most of the characters had gone. Several more days have gone by and I've still heard nothing.
I'd email him again, but I don't really want to pester. It would just be nice to know that I'd been rejected already, or that he'd got my message and was considering me, or he didn't recognise my email address, or, I don't know, he doesn't like my face or something. Whatever. It's probably more annoying not to hear anything than it would be to be spurned.
