These guys are running a Live-Action Massively Multiplayer Game. Kind of a cool concept. More like a hack and slash then an actual RPG, since there’s little to no RP involved. Just kill people and collect their life coins!
Their site is kinda cool; it’s run off a Wiki so the players can help develop the world.

Here is the information about the White Wolf/CCP party going on at GDC that I mentioned at the tail end of Episode 144.
Again, your resume is your ticket in. Get drunk and get a job, what an awesome combo!
CCP and White Wolf Invade Game Developer’s Conference!
When EVE Online Publisher CCP out of Iceland, merged with White Wolf
Game Studio out of Atlanta one could only wonder what combined
debauchery these two notorious party companies might unleash upon the
games industry.Well, if you’re interested in working in the game business, moving up in
the game business, or just want to see if your liver can keep up with
the combined might of these two titans of intoxication and party like
there is no tomorrow, here is your chance.“We’re recruiting, have a drink!” said Mike Tinney, President of CCP
North America. CCP and White Wolf invite any prospective candidates to
visit their booth for a party invite. “Ég hlakka mikið til að verða afar
drukkinn, varpa fólki yfir höfuð mér og kljúfa það í herðar niður.”
added CCP CEO Hilmar Petursson. What if you’re not able to make it to
the booth? Well, as it happens, these guys know a lot about hangovers,
so all you need to do to get into the party is bring your resume. And,
just to make it interesting, the highest caliber resume received will
win a one year subscription to EVE Online; a trip to the EVE Online Fan
Fest and a complete collection of the World of Darkness book line.CCP, the lads that are known for bringing a bar as part of their booth
to every convention they attend, and, White Wolf, whose cult status as
the guys who brought goths, girls and a never ending supply of
intoxicated hi-jinks to the hobby game industry “might just be the most
boisterous combination GDC has ever seen,” stated one industry insider
who asked to remain anonymous.Come join us for some food, drink and fun – not necessarily in that
order!The CCP /White Wolf Party

This week, we do a run-down of some recent news in the bloggery-land. Stuff like the re-affirmation that play games make you better surgeons, Vivian Redding is the new Villain of the Year of the Internet, and some lovely lawsuits against Blizzard. Then we hit a tangent about botting in games, and how there’s been similar concepts made by creative players. Games within games is fun, and we’ll probably see more of it. We invaded the Barcade with Xenon and Anniex0r, out here in Los Angeles, and had a blast. A chat about the concepts of skill vs. ‘grind,’ and skill vs. RMTs ties up the show, which is punctuated with Oizys whipping up his world-famous tourettes set!
