general comments: Your first entry, "Why I larp" is great, because you are following a parallel track to me. We're going in the same direction, and I'm waving at you.
I wish we could have met at last Wyrd Con (or at all). Are you coming down for TriWyrd (June 21-24)?
Finally, I asked a question a while back on my LJ, or FB, I forget...about what someone's dream larp would be. Your comment as to no numerical stats is the same for me. I even ran a tabletop Cal of Cthulhu RPG campaign set in the Dreamlands, and I took the numbers away from the players. They still rolled dice, but all their stats and attributes were in text form. I have that long recap over at my LJ if you care to read. The first part explains that. (http://aaronjv.livejournal.com/533971.html)
I'm basically trying to encourage you to keep going in your exploration of larp. There are others on this path, and we are going somewhere good. :-D
