Transhuman Space LARP

the_eggwhiteRight... If I'm going to get this thing off the ground, the following things need to happen, in the following order:
1) I need to talk to players about the setting.
2) I need to talk to players about character ideas, and work with them to generate characters.
3) I need to work out any obvious pre-existing character groups and relationships based on character ideas.
4) I need to tailor the plot to ensure all characters can get involved to an appropriate level.
5) I need to pick start dates and convince somebody to handle venue bookings and the like.
I figure that #1 should happen in the form of a social gathering with a bunch of talking about transhumanist/Hard SF with a mind to seeing what fits the game setting and what doesn't. I'm prepared to have a bunch of transhuman space books on hand, along with inspirational material and the like, as well as being around to answer questions and the like.
#2 can be started at the aforementioned gathering, and continued afterwards, possibly with another planned session, possibly with quick one-to-one character gen sessions.
#3 is something I can do in my own time after #1 and #2 are done, but might need to consult players about.
#4 is something I can do in my own time after #1, #2 and #3 are done.
#5 is something that can be at least provisionally done at the gathering mentioned in #1.
What needs doing NOW
We need a time to have this gathering. I'd suggest an afternoon into evening kind of deal in a nearby weekend. If the weather's good, we can have a barbeque. If not, we can have munchies and general chat. If this isn't possible then we need to pick a decent weekday evening. For this to happen, we need to know when folks can do. So, folks, When can you do?
Comment here with availability!

2007-05-13 20:08 (UTC)Actually thinking about it, I could possibly do Sunday afternoon next weekend. I would have to trek back from the National though, but it's only just the other side of London so it shouldn't take too long to get back.
