My pen name for the blog, Zeno, come from one of my most beloved and fondest characters I have created. Zeno was the character I created to play in my friend's adventure L.A.R.P. In fact, Zeno is the last surviving character from the first season (each season typically goes from spring to the end of fall), with the game soon entering it's fourth season. Sadly though, I have to put Zeno, and my other character, Hallion, into stasis. Over the years, the direction of the L.A.R.P. has changed and I find myself butting heads far too often with both the bulk of the players and the head of the L.A.R.P. Instead of creating a scene and being a drama queen, I decided to simply bow out of playing for the time being.
Simply, it just came down to play-styles. The head DM has a very aggressive play-style and the bulk of the players fed right out of his hand. It really is a sad situation, since none of them are bad people, just difficult to get along with, for me anyways.
Don't get me wrong, I have excellent memories of the L.A.R.P. and am proud to have been a part of it's original development. In the end it was just better to leave than fight the change. Perhaps one day I will play with them again, and I hope that when I do, I walk away with more good memories than bitter thoughts.
Signing off,
Zeno
