Roleplaying Spiritual And Religious Characters (Full Moon Special #4)

Please note that the post comes from a slightly spiritual and totally non religious person – and that my views might differ from someone who participates in a religious or spiritual practice. I mean no disrespect whatsoever. Photo (featured) by Martina Šestić. (Terra Nova, spring 2013, Croatia) Happy Full Moon! Today’s topic can actually be…
Larping for Couples #3: There’s Always Time for the First Time

If you’re new to the Larping for Couples article series on the SnW blog, you won’t be surprised by this article. If, however, you’ve already read some of the articles (listed at the bottom), you’ve already noticed that I assume both (and all) members of your relationship have been larping for some time – be it as…
Five Quick Notes on Realistic Character Names

It counts for literature as well as larping – although larping does have it’s own, specific requirements. #1 Realistic names are pronounceable. I’ve read once that Frank Herbert (not a fan) knew what he was doing when he named his leading character “Paul”. You can always try with the “but my character’s culture likes long…
Five by Five #2 – The Seams of Destiny a.k.a. Your First Larp Outfit

Recently there’s been a new influx of newbie players in the Croatian larp scene – or, to be honest, the influx has taken up again. There are things that new players think of that more experienced ones would never even imagine – more on the good than on the bad side, but still… One of…
Larping for Couples #2: Everything = Talk!

Everything = talk is a tiny reference to Arrow’s Everything – breathe. I solemnly swear I’ll repeat the message of this post infinitely throughout the series – for a reason. #1 Talk before a game and after a game. I honestly cannot say which one is more important – because both are incredibly important. Talk before a game to…
Larping for Couples #1: Trust Your Partner or Go Home

Thus it begins! The first, previously announced post series on the SnW blog, is ready for liftoff. I hope you find something useful in the series which should spread over the next eightish weeks. No one piece of advice can be applicable to all larping couples, but I wanted to share a couple of tiny insights I’ve accumulated during my three years larping…
I Wanna Go Back to Tamriel – Dealing With PLD

PLD is short (because time is short, too – even for awesome larp advice) for post larp depression, a term common in a larper’s everyday experience. It’s by no means exclusive to larping – it happens to regular geeks after a convention, too, and, allegedly, to anyone who’s just finished a mission or project which…
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…
Lorediving for Larpers

I’m a huge learning geek – especially when the knowledge is “how-to” or, khm, theoretical. Nah, I’ll just say it – I love learning about things I might want to know something about in the future. No matter when the future comes. So diving into a familiar setting’s lore is more like a challenge than a…
Full Moon Special #3 – The Importance of Dating A Geek

I have a confession to make – the closest I ever came to dating a non-geek was waay back in elementary school. (And even that person had the sense to give me a boxfull of MTG cards as a birthday present – so some understanding of geekdom was definitely present.) I know a couple of…
