Re-Remembering

umbran, jadasc, and I wrote a kind of wacky, kind of awesome LARP called 'Desperadoes Under The Eaves.' It was based on the music of Warren Zevon, and it ran at Intercon.... I can't remember which Intercon. It went pretty well, all things considered. And then that was it.
Except it's been a little while, and we're finally thinking of running it again. Thinking about it strongly enough that I'm working on putting a bid together for Intercon M, and going back through the characters and the spreadsheets and making notes to myself about what needs to be fixed, tweaked, or rewritten, and treating myself to a steady diet of Zevon music.
And as I go through and reread and sort through hundreds of pages of material, all I can think is... we did this? We did ALL this?
....whoa.
I mean, it's not *that* big a deal. People who read this write bigger, better, and more games all the time; it's not a truly epic accomplishment. But that said, for someone who had never written a game before, who promised she never would, and who only did this because after five years of shopping the idea around I couldn't find anyone to do it for me.... it wasn't half bad.
I really do hope we manage to get this game to run again.
