Ten Quick Tips for Your First Larp
Still getting ready for the outdoor season… is it ever gonna start? Today I wish to address my newbie friends and potential future larp newbies with a couple of quick tips for those just about to embark on their first (or first longer lasting) larp event. Some things I mention here I’ll say again and…

Five by Five #1 – Hungry Pandas a.k.a. Weekend Larps
Note: Five by Five is a new feature on Skirts ‘n’ Wolves, which will run on the first Monday of every month. I’m a huge lover of all sorts of lists, and larp-related ones fit right in. Come to think of it – got a great larp list idea? I’d love to hear about it…

The Alderaan Glitch (Larp in a Familiar Setting Part #2)
Remember the Star Wars larp I went to last weekend? As it turns out, I was right to have my doubts – but for totally different reasons. The thing is – people are passionate beings (hurray!). And familiar settings are a thing of passion. Which, in the end, means the same for fandoms as for…

The Wolf on Fanfiction
Note: Pic (featured) by trancer21. Pic (above) by phoenixdown. It’s multifandom. Of sorts.

Welcome to the second Full Moon Special at Skirts’n’Wolves! A month ago I talked about planning a mystery trip for your pack, and now I tackle a subject even closer to home – one of the things I identify as – being a larper. I’d never dare say I speak for everyone – but I’m…

The Wolf on Steampunk
A lot has already been said on steampunk, and some of it quite eloquently. I wish not to invent hot water in a boiler tank (a Croatian proverb I find more than appropriate when it comes to this subject), but merely to add my own view. It’s been nearly three years since I’ve first stumbled…

Never stand between a larper and her coffee (or she’ll boffer you to oblivion)
I really, really appreciate coffee. Still not of the addict variety (though not far from that), I like espresso (or mocca coffee), the kind you make in a two-part metal miracle maker at home, in your friendly kitchen. I have a friend who occasionally stops by for coffee, and I just have to make sure…
