I feel like "two weekends + the week between" is a good length. My O/U was divided into "chapters" that felt about that long.

The scale of O/U felt like the source of so many of the potential pitfalls of it (moderating big groups is hard). Very curious what player counts end up feeling manageable.

I am fucking JONESING to design for the discord pbp medium, but also I think my first designs are just going to be "let's run this parlor larp I like in a discord server over 2x the time span".

I tried describing the chokespawn event to a larp friend, got like a quarter of the way in, and they were like "oh yeah and then presumably [rattled off the next 3/4s of the story almost exactly]" and I was like "oh o/u is just a digital blockbuster larp, got it."
