This post is going to function as an index page for a 4x larp guide book. It’s a bit of a dry post, but a necessary one. As a work in progress it’s going to change over time. Each section will get linked as it’s written and fill in over time. What needs clarification? What needs to be cleaned up? What do you want to know more about? There will probably be a ‘guidebook’ version on a static page, which will have titles/headings which are less like a blog post, and more like a book. Here is the general outline as it stands right now.
