I ran some SLI type live role playing events (they were local though).  I
called them Freeforms (which is the European version).  We were going to do
a really large one called A Saucer Full of Secrets (from a Pink Floyd title)
which was about all the different events on a space station.  Unfortunatly we
had difficulties placing our advertisements and couldn't do it.

In the games I ran I (GM) didn't have to make very many choices and the game
ran rather smoothly.  I also had  a computer program which I wrote that 
randomly created all the characters and goals so we could play it over and
over again.

One of the things I would like to see happen in VR is interactive games like
Freeforms.
