/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

So I went to a Rogue Trader 40K larp this weekend. All the characters had been invited by a troupe of Harlequins to witness their dance. Was absolutely fantastic. We solved the murder of an Exodite lord, shot cultists, stopped rituals to summon Slaaneshi deamons and fought corrupted versions of the Harlequins.

Highlight stories:
>Playing Gunslinger Noble
>Work out what the Harlequins are up to, make friends with Death Jester because of this.
>Point out that they are finding people worthy enough to be understudies for their play.
>Later that night he asks if I was serious.
>"Yup"
>Hands me his Mask and Shrieker Cannon "You will lead your friends to kill the Dark Eldar through the Webway"
>Oh shit, might get blammed for Heresy but fuck it, most of the Inquisitors are Radicals anyways
>Walk through the dark woods in pitch blackness, only lit by wisp lights the ST's had set up.
>Get attacked by DE Mandrakes along the pathway
>STs whisper not to get involved unless they say so as the Death Jesters mask is kinda taking over
>Big fight againts DE, I'm hanging back as the Archon starts cutting players down
>ST whispers "Cut Loose"
>Walk forward, spooling up the Shrieker Cannon "I AM HE WHO DANCES WITH DEATH! DANCE WITH ME AND YOU DANCE WITH DEATH"
>After the fight back at camp, tear off the mask and spend the rest of the night having a little bit of an existential crisis

Basically, the ST playing the Death Jester was leading players through the Webway for encounters and wanted a break. Saw me as an excuse to sit for a while and have a break. I ham this up to the nines, the whole taking over of personality and mixing of Human and Eldar mannerisms was all off my own back. Get congratulated by ST team for this. Also get OOC congrats from players for making a fairly standard fight in the dark that bit more atmospheric.
Didn't get blammed.
