A recent discovery of the messily splatted body of one Paul Neil Milne Johnson, of Redbridge, Essex, Earth, together with a rather plaintive note written in absolutely excruciating verse, which explained that he was the last Guardian of Power and Strength. What this has to do with wandering around pubs trying to drink too much is anybody's guess.

On December 4, 1872 (some reports give December 5, due to a lack of standard time zones in the 19th century), the Mary Celeste was sighted by the Dei Gratia, commanded by Captain David Reed Morehouse, who knew Captain Briggs. The Dei Gratia had left New York harbour only seven days after the Mary Celeste. Dei Gratia's crew observed her for two hours, under full sail and heading toward the Strait of Gibraltar. They concluded that she was drifting, though she was flying no distress signals.
Oliver Deveau, the chief mate of the Dei Gratia, led a party in a small boat to board the Mary Celeste. He found the ship in generally good condition, though he reported that "the whole ship was a thoroughly wet mess". There was only one operational pump, with a lot of water between decks and three-and-a-half feet (1.1 m) of water in the hold. The forehatch and the lazarette were both open, the clock was not functioning and the compass was destroyed. The sextant and marine chronometer were missing, and the only lifeboat appeared to have been intentionally launched rather than torn away, suggesting the ship had been deliberately abandoned. Popular stories of untouched breakfasts with cups of tea on the cabin table, washing hung out to dry and a cat found asleep on top of the gallery locker are wholly without substance.
The cargo of 1,701 barrels of alcohol was intact, though when it was eventually unloaded in Genoa, nine barrels were found to be empty. A six-month supply of food and water was aboard. All of the ship's papers, except the captain's logbook, were missing. The last log entry was dated November 24 and placed her 100 miles (160 km) west of the Portuguese islands of the Azores. The last entry on the ship's slate showed her as having reached the island of Santa Maria in the Azores on November 25.
Find out what happened aboard that fateful ship.

You've always been jealous of us: the few, the proud, the LARP writers. We know it, you know it. This LARP offers you the opportunity to adopt the role of a LARP writer yourself, enrolled in a competition to write the newest, greatest LARP! Please note that you will not be yourself on a LARP writing team, but a character who is a LARP writer (and really, isn't that better?) and a role playing all-star.
