Why?
What is the point?

Do you make it up as you go along or is there a pre-determined story you have to follow?

Apologies if I seem a bit harsh on your hobby, but, well, WHY?

it's OK, it's not like people are usually nice about it
There's no story you follow as such. You make you're own character and interact as if you are them (even if it's not what you would have done). There are plot lines set by the people who run it and you participate in those, ie by killing demons or solving riddles or using the dark arts of diplomancy. Also mead and singing round campfires

Is there one where you get to pretend it's the Blitz?
