Echoes of freeforms past
Chatting to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mirabehn via email, I was reminded about the freeform roleplaying games I & friends (including, on separate occasions, hungrypixel and owlfish) used to run at York. And looking over my archive, I've still got almost all the data for several of them.
They'd still need quite a bit of fine-tuning and updating, but would be playable and indeed expandable.
Brief description: one afternoon/evening, one large room and (preferably) several smaller ones, 20+ people.
I have incomplete archives for one with vampires in, one set at an office Christmas party, one fairytale kingdom (the most complete - though it was done a second time, and I don't have the version used then), one generic fantasy, and one James Bond spoof.
I'm quite taken with the idea of running something based on one of these, or indeed an entirely new one. I'm not about to do it all on my own, though - mostly for logistical reasons, since these things get complicated.
Anyone else interested? Useful things people could bring to the table would mostly be enthusiasm, writing ability, and the availability of large spaces in or at least near London.

Might I suggest as another option going somewhat further afield (http://www.derbyshire-holidays.com/) and doing a weekend thing?
Those places are lovely. And surprisingly cheap, at least when it's not summer.

Oh the memories. Of having sunday afternoon free to do my homework. Of running into Kev and Paul Kerry when I least expected it. Of listening to conversations I really didn't understand (well, we left you for dead at the bottom of a lake and carried on...etc). Not that I've ever actually played; it just appears to have been in my life for the last 11 years or so.
Interesting text..
