Player Driven
The two weeks between the last post and this one have seen me get ready for one larp and participate in it, continue working on the co-alpha and I’s secret project, and start planning another larp with the co-alpha and a friend (and yeah, a fanlarp indeed it will be – but it will be…

The Fanlarp (Full Moon Special #6)
Happy Full Moon! And it’s a thirteenth. And Friday, to add to that – plenty of scary fun to be had in the Moonlight… or anywhere else, for that matter. They say the next Friday Thirteenth Full Moon will be in 2049! So you better take good care to honour this one. Let me add…

Larping And Reading And Theory, Oh My
Why would anyone read about larps, you ask? Larping is one of those things which have to be seen before you believe them. In other words – reading about larps is the same as reading about chocolate; you will probably get an idea about what it is, but there’s no way in hell for you…

A Quintet of Larping Prejudice (Five by Five #3)
Fighting prejudice about larp is something I never intended to do quite so obviously – but shit adds up. Three years of hearing and reading shit about larp – from muggles and larpers alike – is a lot of shit. So enjoy this monday roundup of – you know. Maybe a bit of it sticks if…

Lovers, Friends and Foes (Larping for Couples #6)
There are couples who always play tightly connected lovers at larps, and couples who regularly end up on opposite sides in an ingame conflict.

Not Your Family Yurt (Larping for Couples #5)
A lot can be said about the social aspect of larping – and on the idea of, you know, larping as a couple. I’ve listed just a couple of things I seem to keep forgetting myself when larping – or hanging out with larpers, which happens often enough, too. #1 Your relationship is not your…

Larping for Couples #4: The Heavy Stuff – Immersion, Bleed and PLD as a Shared Experience
Not everyone plays on the same emotional level. Stuff written here is just my take, since both the co-alpha and I like to play on deeper layers – but there’s differences even between the two of us. I really wouldn’t like anyone to get the wrong impression of larping because of something I wrote –…

Why Larp Packing Fails
I’m not one to say that every larp packing (usually for outdoor events, but not neccessarily) is doomed to fail, but I am one to admit that many a packing adventure under my command did fail, and some of them beautifully so. I’m sure you’ll have a reason or two to add of your own – but…
