Gaming in the dark

Run an actual game, or roleplayed?  *chuckles*  There's a difference... 
I've done a lot of one on one, or one on few mini-sessions either planned 
or spontaneous in all sorts of places, including while selling tickets for 
a movie (talk talk talk, pause hand ticket over, back IC, talk talk...), at 
a wedding, in Denny's (one of the best AoW sessions actually happened in 
Denny's), on a train (oh that one was wonderful... by the time the trip 
ended there was no one sitting within two seats of us, and all we were 
doing was having one IC conversation!), Burger King in the middle of 
hicksville...

No, no planned sessions in graveyards, nothing like that.  But I've found 
its far more amusing sometimes for the more mundane but unusual 
places.  I've found atmosphere doesn't depend on location... although the 
one live action sesssion I did of AoW (costumed with full semi-formal 
dinner for a wedding in game) was fun.  But I'd rather spend time on 
getting the atmosphere right in game than finding a handy place to go to 
try to enforce the mood outside of the game.

Besides, some of those spontaneous anywhere sessions above were among the 
best I've played, despite the ultra-mundane places they occurred.  *grins*
