Through the mail system, both in the 1810's and now, it is possible to send more than just a letter. Decorations, recipes, art, embroidery, cookies, books, and small gifts- all can be exchanged to enhance your epistolary LARP experience.
Lady Theodora Monroe will be sending contacts some miniature watercolors like these as part of her correspondence.
Here are some tips to get started:
- If you are sending something that doesn't fit in a standard letter, include extra postage for the GMs to forward it on!
- Choose gifts that are impactful, but not expensive. Expensive irl gifts can serve as undue pressure on other players- keep it under $5 and don't expect anything in return.
I've also sent a piece of origami as a token. Nice and light and folds flat lol
