<blockquote>Yiling Laozu was one of the biggest characters on the Sunshot LARP field. He made his own faction, raised an army of the dead, and was single-handedly responsible for destroying the yin iron economy. Unfortunately his actions caused no end of problems for the game runners - so after Yiling Laozu’s death, his player Wei Ying was very firmly asked to leave the game. Four years and a change of management later, and Wei Ying is back! Only difference - rather than being let loose on the field again, he’s crewing now and playing a stream of NPC zombies, merchants and diplomats.
While he's barred from raising the dead, he still has plenty of time for important out of character shenanigans, including but not limited to avoiding his family, poking electrical wires, corrupting the youth, and bothering Lan Zhan.
One year, four events, and a tale of campfires, love and live action roleplaying.</blockquote>
➤ this was so fascinating and fun! A true love letter to larping, it's clear the author is very familiar with it as an activity, and also it was great to see how things were translated from canon in terms of what was IC and what was OC for the folks in this story/in their larp. So great
