The LARP Campaign
"Don't Point THAT at my planet!!"
LARP is also known as Live Action Role Playing..it's like pen and paper RPG, but you do it as if you are acting as the person while you are at the convention. It is very fun and I recommened you to try it sometime.
The name of the campaign was "Don't Point THAT at my planet." The basic story was this: A meteor has appeared above the Earth's surface and it is hurdling towards the Earth. It's intended impact point--Hyatt Regency in Crystal City...where Otakon is taking place. The meteor is scheduled to hit on Sunday (convienent since it's the last day of the con). The US Government doesn't care about the otaku population and wants to see them fried off the place of the planet so they decided the meteor to take its course. In the midst of this, the meteor has disrupted the fabric of time and space and many different anime characters have converged to Otakon. They hear news about the meteor and some are compelled to stop it. Others have different plans. The other thing that was important is that the Yamato was parked outside in the reflection pool at DC. Every attempt to get into the Yamato has failed. It was later revealed that it was Sephiroth (as in Final Fantasy 7) was the one that summoned the meteor and wants to wound the planet and yadda yadda yadda.
Some of the highlights...
Katsuhiko Jinnai was severly injured the first night by Quake 2 guy (hey wait a sec..he isn't anime!!!) He was later killed by Hopposai, Zelgadis and Tuxedo Mask.
Fujisawa was drunk almost every night.
Jinnai later on found one of his loyal Bugrom, Groucho.
Lina Inverse was killed by Ashura on the Yamato. She was pushed out through an airlock.
Jinnai tried to get on the Yamato as a pizza delivery person, but all attemps failed. Tylor though wanted the pizza.
The meteor was finally put into a pocket dimension, where there was no threat of it coming out to crash onto the Earth
Captain Tylor wanted Sephiroth to get him a soda. In retalitation, Sephiroth slashes at Tylor...but misses.
Sephiroth was finally defeated after he boarded the Yamato by the hands of Fujisawa and Sailor Moon.
