>replay conversation I just had with a stranger in my head

How's that?

>>9294015
Aaand that's why you never accept food/beverage from strangers.
Some autist at my HS actually came into a girls coffee once and she drank it.

Cosplay was a mistake.

Wondering if any fellow lolitas will be going to magfest? Ill be dressed everyday of the con and wouldn't mind mind up with a few gulls!

>>9277281
I have brought coords every year I have attended but never opted to wear them because I partied too hard. Maybe this year will be the year.

>>9277296
If you have any older stuff, or just stuff you're not very attached to, you could always assemble party coord and dance the night away in full gear

I'm looking for a bolero or cardigan to wear over this jsk now that it's getting cold out but can't decide what looks best. Are beige or dusty pink boring choices?

>>9254025
They're not necessarily boring imo, just obvious. It's not a bad thing by any means but you can coord with grey, brown, bordeaux or another muted color to add interest if you want.
Either way, I suggest avoiding most cardigans because they tend to be too long for the silhouette and create a frumpy look, stick with boleros or cropped cardigans.

A few things to hold me over until the sales on Aliexpress...

So what went wrong with Fanime 2016?

Considering going this year. Is there usually a Discord going?

>>9307086
From what I understand they had their same registration system set up that's been making everything run smooth in hte past couple years and then decided they didn't want to pay the guys who set it up. So then they had to resort to something shitty at the last second that caused confusion and cut the number of badge printers they could use in half.

Also don't know if that's tied into the same incident but Fanime didn't give the Fairmont their room rate guest list so the Fairmont assumed those rooms were unsold and they went to other people instead. So anyone who booked at the Fairmont got shoved into the distant airport hotels like the Holiday Inn. To be fair to make up for it the room was free but honestly I needed to be at shoots nice and early at the Fairmont and didn't want ot deal with parking and shuttling in costume.

is there even a point to having an nz thread when the next con isn't for like three months?

>>9306042
No, because no one posts in these threads anyway.

>>9306645
It is such a slow board it'll basically never die properly anyway so no reason not to.

Plus I figure it being summer and people getting ready in the next few months might want to talk about stuff.

Probably because Mike Anderson is doing lines of coke.

I used to wear fairy kei and sweet lolita, but after some time I just started feeling silly doing so. I feel like because of my height I can never be cute.
I have an oblong face, not a cute heart shaped one, I am way too tall and nothing fits me anyway... I legitimately gave up on making any effort to my appearance. I'm not cute, I'll never be cute, I'm just a giant monster, why even try.

>>9302620
You just need to find your own "brand" of cute, you know? Tooth decaying pastels might not be your thing but that doesn't rule out everything. Maybe classic-sweet would suit you better, or straight up classic (think whimsical period dramas, or Anne of Green Gables), or natural kei, or larme (which is very varied) or some other style that uses pastel colors but has different silhouettes than what is common in fairy kei and lolita.
Don't give up, anon!

so as I promised in the other thread I wanted to talk about a little more serious topic (and after that I will dump pics)

The topic is: what makes a larp into a good larp?
Or to be more precise, how do we measure it?

I talked about this with a lot of people, and one of the problems is that you can enjoy yourself at a larp but the game could be still shit. You can enjoy the company of your friends while the rules are shit, the GMs are shit and the NPCs are shit, even the other players are shit too.
You can also feel shit in a good game, like you get all muddy and soaked while it isn't your thing. Or you just went to a game which wasn't for you. Or you managed to put an axe into your leg. Or someone took a shit in your campfire.
So we can safely cut that out of the equation.

What I came up as a definition for a good larp is something along the lines of "A larp is good if the organizers gives the most opportunity for enjoyment to their target audience"
Operating words are opportunity and target audience.
This means if the players doesn't use those opportunites the larp can still be considered good (although if they are unable to, though to the design of the game then it is obviously shit), and it's important that we are talking about the target audience. You can't make everyone happy so you should make the game for a specific target audience, no reason to cater every group.

Also it is important that when I say larp in this context I mean how it was put together. The rules, the logistics, the communications by the organizers, the story for it, etc. Not the actual event.
These are all mix together, especially the communication part which is very fucking important and some can be even objectively observed, like the rules system.

So, are there any interest for talking about this a little more in-depth?

I didn't say I would do it in 2017! I'd love to finish it quickly, but I'm currently working on Cordana! Maybe 2018 then? With emphasis on maybe, because I have so many ideas.

>>9293594
Fine, best cosplay of 2018.

See help thread

>>9293288
Do a thick white stripe with a black zigzag on top, then use the help thread from now on.
