A bunch of my Star Wars/LARPer friends have been to this. None of them are rich, and all of them said it was worth the money. BUT! They were also experience LARPers, who were good at “Yes, and” and moving in the flow of a story. From what they said, the employees/actors/NPCs were EXCELLENT.

It’s hard to replicate network effects.

You can love something AND critique it.

“Break-in?” Why? Why not welcome everyone, and not be an asshole and just win? I’m really competitive in a bunch of areas, but I’m not a dick to people I beat.

Deckard being human emphasizes Roy’s love and lust for life in contrast to the more stoic human..

I think it is just more personal and easier to talk about the dead celebrities who meant something to us than the deeper dread that things may be headed into a much darker political place. It feels like a physical manifestation of existential dread.
