Larp Management (Full Moon Special #9)
Bear with me for a second – after all, I’m an information specialist. (Yeah, its’ what it says on the label – instead of pointing a sniper at you, I’m gonna hit you with random facts and categories.) Do I really want to use such a bombastic term as management? I’ve come to believe I do.…

Staying Inspired in Larping (Five by Five #5)
The currents of a larp scene flow steady and slow, and slow and steady stuff changes. From time to time there’s a boom (like what happened in Croatia couple of years back, due to a few wonderful enthusiasts), where the rest of us larping fish have to change direction in a matter of seconds, but most of the…

Random Larping Encounters
Some people run into dragons or the undead or random postapocalyptic tribes at larps. As I find myself slowly coming back from vacation, easing into everyday schedules and work (always work), getting mentally ready for the fall larping season (and the huge amount of effort necessary to finish preparing and start running our Astra larp…

The Importance of Writing What You Love (Full Moon Special #8)
Please note that I’m no professional in terms of getting paid to write (although writing, luckily, is a part of my current job). Therefore, I can be all “write what you love” etc. hippie. I would never suggest it’s the only way to be happy as a writer – it’s just a MO which currently…

Playing Weak Characters
Being weak is one of the many taboos in our modern, hi-tech western civilization, especially if you – for goodness’ sake – do it intentionally. Everybody wants to rule the world – not be the one ruled over, which is a common part of our everyday experience. It’s no wonder traditional larping is full of…

Take a Stroll Under The Stars (Announcing Astra Larp)
The wait is over – the wait’s just begun… The co-alpha and I finally came out of the planning room with our super-secret project, one I’ve been hinting at for months. It’s been tough, this all-out secrecy thing, especially since I’m not really a person of keeping things to myself. Also, designing a larp is hard work –…

The Wolf on YA And Doing What You Fear the Most
It’s been nine years since I’ve first helped organize a sci-fi convention in Croatia, and in the meantime I’ve held over a dozen quizzes, ten+ random games and a lecture or two. I’ve never, though, held a panel – until this month’s SFeraKon 2014. Organizing a panel turned out to be one of the toughest things I’ve ever…

Venture out of the Game (Larping for Couples #8)
Just in case you thought couples who larp together do little to nothing else other than larp – here’s a recap of a member of such a couple’s opinion on the subject. Enjoy the last post in the Larping for Couples SnW series – and a special treat lined up to go live tomorrow, sometimes…

The Wolf on The Kindness of Lessons
I have no idea in the seven hells where to start. Let’s just say I misplaced all of my cards and documents (minus my passport which was in another city) plus a bit of cash along with my wallet on a city bus ride sometime last week. Of course, I found out all about that…
