il-info
    Contact: il-info-request@han.paramax.com

    Purpose: Discussion of Interactive Literature and the activities
    of the Interactive Literature Foundation (ILF).  The purpose of
    the Interactive Literature Foundation is to study and promote all
    forms of Interactive Literature, defined as any kind of narrative
    in which a participatory process between the author or performer
    and the reading, viewing, or attending audience determines or
    influences the plot of the story.

    Much of the current discussion on the list concerns Live-Action
    Role Playing Games, which evolved out of improvisational theatre,
    conventional role-playing games, and complex "assassin"-type
    games.  A typical game might involve thirty to eighty players
    taking the part of characters in a situation, with network of
    interconnecting motivations that provide the driving force for the
    action in the game.  Live games have a small set of rules that
    simulate activities that would be impractical or unsafe to play
    out, and to simulate abilities of the character that the player
    may not possess.  The majority of play consists of interacting
    with the other players "in character" to accomplish your
    character's goals and discover new ones.  Games have been run with
    science fiction, fantasy, historical, and literary themes, as well
    as others that are difficult to classify. 

    The mailing list is not limited to discussion of live games, and
    is open to discussion of anything that might be considered
    Interactive Literature.  This list is not moderated.

    Subscribe to il-info to find out about events in your area, and
