Hey all, I'm finally back from my week of crazy stress (and one night of candy-based LARPing). At this point, please poke me if there's something you particularly wanted a reply to, otherwise it's unlikely I'll get back to it.

First of all, welcome back!

Second of all: candy-based LARPing sounds like only the greatest thing ever.

It totally was. The only way to get powers was too eat the correct combination of candy. In fact, the only action it actually involved was sitting there eating candy. It was very silly and wonderful.

It sounds wonderful--!

I did not know what was missing in my life until now.

It was candy-based LARPing. 0_O

It should be a staple of all parties. The only problem is when you realize that the best action to take is for all members of your party not currently worshiping Cthulhu to eat a chocolate candy immediately followed by a fruit candy. But I'm not the one who had to eat the (tiny) wheel of cheese.

I need the rules to this game.

The precise rules are a closely guarded secret, if only because our DM came up with many of them immediately before the game and has not yet gotten around to organizing and typing his notes, but basically you are stuck in a haunted mansion with a bag of candy and some floating candles. The candles are lives. When you figure out how to get from one room to another you get another candle and some more candy.

Eating candy gives you powers (unless it is candy corn. Eating that will make you feel poorer) as long as you eat a regular m&m first. Eating a peanut m&m gives you the opposite power. You have no way of knowing what powers a candy will give you without experimenting.

When you manage to summon three final bosses at once, it will be completely your own fault. But it's okay, this mansion was built on a curve, because this game is meant to be playable by drunk people with sugar highs.

And that is Twixhack.
