I have a plea for help! I am trying to write a scene set in a club, but aside from some quarter-remembered movie scenes, I have no actual experience with clubs. Oops. I'm looking for the sensory information you'd get in a general club. I don't need a space in particular, just something beyond loud music and bass.

I really want to sit down and have a really, really good long complain, but aside from an uncomfortable and pervasive soreness in my body, I'm not really sure what I want to complain about. I think I'm just unexercised, post-Alertec, craving company and would do best to try and be positive.

Peter proposed that I run a game last night and my first reaction was "Eep! No!", but I find myself reconsidering. I'm making loose plans to do just that in the fall and didn't I just make a post about trying to be more confident in this kind of thing? I'm still concerned about systems though. There aren't any I know backwards and forwards and I haven't any books, though I imagine I could borrow those. We'll see! Maybe I will run a one-shot.

Come to a club with us near the end of this week or during the weekend, unless you need to write the piece soon.
Like being drunk, or a kiss, clubbing is a personal experience which can be described but never known.

Clubs create sensory overload. They are dark, but often have flashing light or laser effects. They are noisy, either with people talking or with loud music. Each club has a unique feeling of its own that is eveident shortly after you enter the club. Most club goers at any given establishment try to dress similarly. You can always smell people (sweat, fragrances, B.O. good and bad), their clothing, smoke, and alcohol. Most clubs are decorated in a unique manner, that is half themed and half improvised.

Download the rule books. Piracy is fun.
You will run a good game and people will be happy.

Oh clubs don't feel like the do in the movies. The scene is more chaotic and edgy. People act differently when the know they are being watched.

Hope you feel better.
