Heck, I've been larping for coming up on 15 years now. And that probably puts me about middle of the pack for larping careers.
There is -no- way I could list out all the games I've been in. Especially since Intercon became a fixture and I started squeezing off 3-6 short games in a single weekend. I -might- be able to list all the weekend long games I've been in.
And even if I had all of the emailed materials I'd been sent for games over the years, there are plenty of games where I didn't get materials until the game itself (a few Intercon games have been like that), or I picked up replacement characters part way through for one reason or another.
I know people who used to keep every name badge as a way of keeping a history, but not every game has issued name badges.
In this era of Gmail and Livejournal, I suppose we now have the tools to keep a record of every game, in one form or another, and to constantly update a larp resume, but I guess I'll just stick to remembering the good games, the good roles, the bad games, the bad roles, and let the mediocre middles fall away over time.
