The Curse of Whately's Meddling Kids

Registration Now Open! Most Nights Already Full--See Below!!!

Please take a few minutes and fill out this questionnaire: note that you aren't registered until we receive this. The game fee ($10 for the playtest, $20 for Fridays and $25 for Saturdays), covers all game expenses--but no profit!--and is payable at the door. While we will be making every attempt to assure a safe environment during the game, we cannot promise that no-one will accidentally bump into you or that something won't get knocked over onto you. Please be aware that you will be moving through a dark "haunted house" type environment with flashlights, and can hurt yourself or others with sufficient stupidity or bad luck. All players will be required to sign an insurance waiver before playing.

If you would like to ask us something before you register, please feel free to email us at Murder1@FeteFatale.com.

Thanks for your interest!

Name anyone else signing up with whom you wish to play:

We encourage you to coordinate your preferred play date with your friends before you register, so that we can spend our time on devising devious devices instead of verifying groups' schedules ("Dick wants to play on Friday with Jane, but Jane wants to play on Saturday with Spot, while Spot's got a dog show that weekend and wants to play with Dick and Jane the following weekend.").

* Note: The run scheduled for October 8th will be a playtest run. This is a form of dress rehearsal. The first run with real people helps us fine-tune the game (the phrase "guinea pigs" comes to mind). Cost for the playtest run will be $10 instead of the usual $20 for Fridays and $25 for Saturdays.

Does it matter which date you play? Are any dates out of the question?

Are you interested in being part of the cast (i.e., playing a bit part that the characters run into) for any runs? If so, which of the play dates are you available?

Do you specifically NOT want to crawl through small spaces? (No spots smaller than 60" in circumference. Note that not all characters will have reason to crawl into every crevice.)
Don't make me crawl. Crawling is fine.

Typically we cast Whatelys (or any larp, for that matter) by asking a variety of questions related to what types of plots and activities the character has been written to be involved in, so we can spend lots of time mapping out the best overall fit of player preferences to character qualities.

That seems rather unnecessary to us this time, given the characters in this game.

So, we're going to cast this one differently.

	As part of registration, we are collecting every player's character preferences,.
	As soon as possible [which should generally be at least two weeks prior to each run and for many runs it will be shortly after registration opens :-) ], we will determine which players will be playing in a given run.
	Using players' preferences, we'll put together a "suggested casting" for the run.
	We will email the players of the run our suggested casting along with everyone's preferences.
	With the consensus of the group, the casting can be changed. Final casting must be communicated to us at least a week before the run [we won't send out character sheets until we've received it].
	The identity of the Special Guest Star(s) must be approved by us at least one week before the run.

For those groups which will entirely fill a run (the Albany Street Gamers and Aaron & Alan's gang come to mind), we're happy to skip the "suggested casting" step if you'd prefer to cast yourselves, so we don't get in the middle of any fights over who gets to play Shaggy. :-)

Use 1 to 5 to indicate your level of interest in playing the various members of the Gang (1 = "I'd rather not", 5 = "Oh, yeah!").

If you had to play a Special Guest, who would it be? What qualities do they have that you think fits in to the Scooby Doo universe, and what would you personally find enjoyable about playing them? Please fill this out even if you'd vastly prefer to play one of the Gang.

What would YOU have gotten away with, if it wasn't for those meddling kids?

(Required!) I understand that I will sign a waiver at the game and that Dig and Gail cannot guarantee that no accidents will happen during the game. I am mature enough to deal with that, and I am over eighteen or have the approval of a parent.
Yes
