>I'm pretty sure Milanote lets you track exactly what you want.
Awesome, I'll check it out. I looked at World Anvil before, but I have no way of telling if it can do what I want before buying it.

>Have an existing network
If you want to get your larp to take off, you'll need to find a lot of people willing to jump in blindly for the first session. You may be able to promote on a handful of Discords and Facebook groups, but your biggest form of promo is going to be word of mouth. Without an existing network of people who know you to market to, you'll be incredibly hard-pressed to find enough participants. If you don't have such a network yourself, join forces with people that do. Which names are behind a larp is a deciding factor in participating for a lot of larpers.

>Protect against old guard syndrome
Your game will have a relatively small playerbase at the start, and (if all goes well) grow to your preferred size over time. Make sure that those players that join in later aren't forever doomed to be lackeys because all the important roles have been hogged by the earliest participants. This applies for both a mechanical perspective and a social one.

For mechanics, I strongly recommend avoiding a mechanical imbalance between existing and newer players. Simply put, that means not having an XP system where you gain XP for every time you show up. Most rules-light social larps that I know just give people a fixed number of perks and the ability to re-allocate those perks inbetween sessions. If you really do want to go the XP route, at the very least make sure that starting characters get enough XP to be at the highest relevant level of a single thing.

From a social perspective, important positions and resources will consolidate in the hands of your long-term players. Ensure that the number of important positions and resourses grows with the number of players, and that new ones enter play in the hands of new players.
