Okay so the AB govt only likes a free and open market when the companies it likes, who are possibly doing an illegal, in the name of “protecting investors”? Isn’t this just…organised crime? Did Ms. Smith re-invent the mob?

Do you know of a customisable interactive app one could use in their LARP for communication, resource management, puzzles, etc.?
I’ve looked at LarpManager but it doesn’t have a character manager or communication feature.
I want to use this with and between players in game and out.
