Why this page is here.

Welcome.
Lets get to the brass tacks of it.

We’ve run a lot of events over a long period of time.

Not as a company, but as the people who own this company. Michael started running larp events in 1995 and worked with multiple networks, created multiple IPs, and founded an events company a publication company and a gaming network. Catie has run hundreds of live events, has written for Eschaton Media, Onyx Path, and many other gaming publications. Between the two of us we have thousands of events in multiple countries in multiple formats. If you are interested in some of the other projects, check out the main Most Improbable page.

Despite our history of involvement, both of us have full time jobs and careers that take care of our personal finances. These full time careers can consume large portions of our time, but financially put us in a place where we can afford to gamble on hosting creative events.

So, because we need to express what level of involvement we are going to have and communicate clearly, we decided that we are going to run our events with a very high level of transparency. This includes inviting people to attend our planning sessions to listen in and write feedback / ask questions. This includes making the finances visible so that people understand what it takes to run this sort of event. This also includes putting our notes and discussion from event feedback available to the public.

Now while our goal is offering a wide swath of transparency, in the hopes of being more transparent and create good communication, we are also not going to put these posts and updates as the highest priority. Don’t expect real time feeds and up to the second updates. If our mundane jobs need our attention, or really, if we don’t have the spoons to do it on a certain day we aren’t going to.

Also to be clear with transparency, please don’t mistake transparency and open communication with shared ownership and decision making power. Transparency ensures we are accountable for the people we are making cool things for, but at the end of the day, as a company and as individual owners we are the only ones left holding the bag if something goes wrong and personal income needs to be invested. So decisions need to be made while listening to others, but by the people who are fronting the money and liability for the events.

So, over the coming weeks and months expect more of these of varied degrees of content and different focuses. If you would like a more active awareness of what and how we are doing things then please join us on our Discord for our regularly scheduled event manager meetings.
