The mask comes with these wacky new-age instructions on how to get used to wearing the mask. What gives?
Well, the wacky new-age instructions boil down to something fairly practical: put the mask on and watch yourself talking and making facial expressions in a mirror for an hour or so before your first event. It’s a good idea, and will probably improve your role playing in ways you’re not entirely conscious of. If you have enough imagination to play a LARP at all, you’ll probably have no difficulties imagining yourself as a big-cat-person. Those wacky new-age instructions are for people who might not be as familiar with acting as you are.
