[Trailhead] Larp Hard
the latest from Pistolsniffer (formerly Funnel)

Quick drive by. Noticed that there wasn't a thread for this already, but a trailhead has dropped in the past week. I just got this email:

Congratulations. You have been chosen as a candidate for LARP HARD.

If you have any questions about the process, send them to adminSPLATlarp-hard.com. You will not receive any other communications from us unless you take the next step. If you would like to be removed altogether from our master mailing list, just respond to that effect.

The road to membership will take you through trials and trouble. However, if you are dedicated, you may have what it takes to LARP HARD. Join us, if you dare.

Good luck.

Signed,

Related to this, I wrote a little thing on ARGNet about this project but before it really started: http://www.argn.com/2010/10/pistolsniffer_industries_head_into_the_woods/

Haven't been lurking any ARGs in a while, but I got one too.

& the one video was just on an episode of AOTS the other night.

Got that one too. The video linked from the website looks like the Purity Towers guys.

I just got this one too-- funnily enough in mine, the subject line was misspelled as LARD HARD. I lolled.

Wasn't sure it was a trailhead at first though, because I do a lot of tabletop and online RP, so it could just as easily have been someone getting my email from a roleplay-related mailing list or some such... thank goodness my ARG-sniffing senses were correct! Definitely going to follow this one.

EDIT: These videos are hilarious. Yes, LARPing really is that lame. Definitely subscribing to their youtube channel-- looks like we'll have to wait about a week for the good stuff though...

I got the email too. I was wondering when we were gonna see another Funnel/Pistolsniffer game. Yay!

This is already an awesome kick-off. I can't wait to see what Randy and Earl have gotten themselves into this time.

Looks like RemixFiction scooped the Larp death as breaking news 4 days ago

Also, count me in the emailed crowd

According to the latest Sticky Itchers video (you can get to it through one of the ARGnet link in the OP), it looks like poor Randy is the one getting blamed for the dead LARPer incident-- apparently he built the dragon. He swears up and down in the video that he worked his butt off on it and someone must have tampered with the dragon 'cuz there's no way it would've fallen apart like that on its own. They want people to join up with LARP HARD to convince Dylan (aka Lacerus the Wicked) that Randy's a good guy and that this isn't his fault.

I'm guessing our job on this one is gonna be getting Randy off the hook, and maybe even figuring out who's REALLY responsible for the death of the girl who got squished. Exciting!

(Anybody else already have their LARP character percolating away on the backburner? I'm thinking of a female bard named after Marceline the Vampire Queen from Adventure Time...)

Good lord, I haven't been involved in an ARG in forever and even I got the email...

I supposed I'll come back for this one. I don't know how much time I can give this one, though.

I got the LARD-HARD e-mail too. It made my laugh, I woke up and saw it on my phone. I'm in for this one.
