When Things Go Boom in Larp (5×5 #8)
(Yeah, yeah, now I’ve got Leelo’s Badda Big Boom! in my head too, thank you very much.) The three weeks I’ve not written a word for the SnW blog had me writing 3-4 articles for work per week, on average, prepping and playing the second TESC larp event, sewing absolutely no seam I can recall and…

Do You Speek Geek? The Great Geek/Muggle Language Barrier (Full Moon Special #11)
The other day, one of my geeky colleagues (currently I’ve got but three) dropped by at the children’s department and we undertook a few minutes long chit-chat about random stuff (such as, what’s that you’ve got printed on your shirt – oh, it’s that and that fandom because of this and that ship – etc.).…

Surviving the Experience of Running a Pervasive Larp (5×5 #7)
New month, new Monday – new compilation of 25 hints, tips and tricks about larping. Before we dig in, though, let’s just keep in mind that I’ve only played two pervasive larps so far and co-GMed one (Astra Larp) – so this is definitely just a start. Still, while the Astra experience is fresh, I…

A week ago, the co-alpha and I’s twelve day long pervasive larp Astra ended with a ceremony promoting the spy recruits into apprentice agents in our fictional secret agency, “Astra”.

Astra Larp, a twelve day pervasive larp designed and run by the co-alpha and I, starts in exactly seven days, on Wednesday, October 15th. As we near launch time (on the 15th, sometime during the morning), wrap everything that’s left to wrap (err… many things), the Full Moon will slowly start to wane and hide…

How to Pack (Almost) Anything Like A Wolf
Summer’s almost gone, and with it the last chance for me to pack for anything other than a larp, every odd weekend or so. Still, a summer gone means a summer of lessons learned – in drying stuff as well as packing it, this year. It should probably be noted that packing and larp packing are, unfortunately,…

I Could Be Larping, But… (13 Favourite Excuses)
In light of recent events (see bottom), I realized, all over again, that there are a ton of reasons people stay out of larping, be it their own choice or the random acts of life. Some of them deserve to be called excuses, though. Here are just a few, of both varieties. Let’s see where yours fit,…
