The game was awesome. So much fun! Having 5 out of 6 players gender-bending was great.

Quotes please!

The calibre of players at Kapcon is generally pretty high, and there are some truly excellent ones. As you said, if you call it a Jane Austen rpg, you're likely to get people with some passing genre knowledge, and unlikely to get players who decide to kill everyone at the ball and take their treasure for xp :P

Although, the idea of a D&D/Hackmaster munchkin stuck in a Jane Austen game has a certain sadistic appeal!

In my defence, I wasn't meaning that your game was equivalent to my suggested "Bowls of Tripe" game. (Not that I think that this is an unworkable game idea - I remember Morgue's "You are all items of furniture in this room" impromptu game. :)

I guess I was thinking about how running "A Ticklish Romp" in Hokio differed from running it down South with groups of people that I didn't know. In hindsight, I'm not sure it was a calibre thing so much as a familiarity with the other people playing thing - you have to put a lot more of yourself out there in that sort of game than in one that's primarily puzzle-solving or monster-killing, and knowing the others in the game makes it a lot easier.

But I'm glad I haven't discouraged you, since that wasn't my intention - it was more noting that you might not get people jumping into the game boots-first in quite the same way. (Seraph and Hix starting to play their characters without waiting for a scene being a case in point. :)

Thanks for running the awesome of awesomeness last night. Much fun was had.

I got to be Darcy! *swoon* And I got wet and everything!

It was actually the best gender-bending RPG experience I have had. The boys made lovely ladies (+ one charming fortune-seeker type) and playing the dashing gentleman was SO GOOOOD!

Svend - your portrayal of Patience was terrifyingly good. Scary.

I think it will be most successful at Kapcon - if the players do get immediately into it, you can throw some of the marvellous NPCs at them. Microft King being a bore about hunting at them, a dashing officer or two and a meddelsome mother trying to marry them off ought to start some craziness.

Well done, Jenni! You can make a grab for the Best GM prize at Kapcon to make a matching pair with your Best Player.

I've run all sorts of things with all sorts of players... the games that work best for me are often the slightly unusual ones... remember the famous five one? I'd say, do it and see how it goes... if it doesn't work then don't do anything similar next time... but you are generally a very good gm so I reckon it'll work

I wish I'd gotten to play! Being sick is lame. *fume fume*

Wow, the entries and comments are gradually getting further and further over my head. :) Sooo many inside jokes and info. You guys must be having a ball.
