two chicks write some LARPs

and make a half-assed website about it

stuff we've written - stuff we're running - stuff we're planning - stuff about us


November 18th, 2009: Updated! We've got two games on the Intercon roster for next year: Lifeline, re-running by popular request, and The Sound of Drums, a new game. See here for more info.

Coming soon: photo galleries from previous events. Not all of them, sadly, as Tory did not have a camera for some games, but she made up for it with the second run of Shebopaleileigh.


Paranoid and Crotchety is the hypothetically awesome LARP-writing team of Lily and Tory, two short fangirls. We write theatrical LARPs, as we prefer card-waving to stick-waving, and enjoy inflicting long-winded character sheets upon hapless geeks. We like weird-ass characters, angst, bisexuality, method acting, and crotchety old men with shotguns.

Some of our games are written by one or the other of us, and some are co-written. We pretty much share a brain, though it is not made of foam. We have shared a brain for many years, and written and run games together since February, 2009.


Lily is the slightly shorter fangirl with brown hair. She is Russian, and wants to play in everything. When she is not playing, she is writing, GMing, or talking, because she's a Gemini. She also has an unholy lust for bluesheets and casting questionnaires.

Tory is the slightly taller fangirl with red hair. She is (part) Danish, and often GMs. When she is not GMing, she is writing or working on the website, to make up for the fact that she doesn't talk. She is also responsible for the little booklets, cloth baggies, and generally insane production values of her games, because she's a Virgo.


There is exactly one frequently asked question, and in response, we would like to announce that Lily is paranoid and Tory is crotchety. Generally. Sometimes, on alternate Tuesdays, the writing skunk gets involved, and then it's just confusing.
