(Content Warning: Oh such a ramble, the grammar isn’t great either). I got so perfectly what I want out of a LARP that I really hadn’t expected it from over the weekend that I immediately sat down to try and work out my desires and commonalities, because of course I did. One of my most … Read More
(Content Warning: I am going to be frank about how I managed my reactions upon being confronted by an unexpected assault in a LARP, my having been raped, being queer as a teen in the nineties – don’t read if you’re not up for it) Why am I writing this? Mostly to get it out … Read More
I played another game of Together Forever at the weekend. This entry is pretty much going to be me splurging about my character, if you’re not interested I’m almost certainly going to do another brain dump about games and processing later on in the week. If you can’t remember what Together Forever is then I’ve … Read More
Content Warning: Self-Harm, Disordered Eating – rambly format I am on a complete high following an online LARP on Saturday. I really am enjoying the Together Forever setting, (though admittedly I haven’t played the poly iteration of the game) I’ve written before about it’s dystopian future dating premise. This game was based around the couples … Read More
In tabletop roleplay the person running the game is the GM, I don’t know why I’m explaining that, if you’re reading this I highly doubt you need me to. In anycase, the GM running my life has a sense of humour because my Therapist started talking about the roleplaying games I’ve mentioned to her over … Read More
A difference between LARP and real life, in LARP you can’t wait to get out the awesome tragic backstory that you wrote and entice people into crying with you. In real life the feeling of the conversation is more akin to being sick. Like, oh now I have to tell this cool person I’m actually … Read More
Contains Spoilers for SparkLRP’s games Thread and Weave. (Currently neither are intended to be run again but, y’know.) I’ve come to the conclusion that my preferences in LARP are hugely similar to my preferences in art. Had a conversation with a friend about when you worry if your game idea is pretentious or not and … Read More
I’ve done a couple of online LARPs this year, that is to say, they were all *called* LARPS and proved that some LARPERs have clearly not done much roleplay by post, tabletop or forum RP. LARP stands for Live Action Roleplay guys, not just Roleplay… ahem, right that’s my irritating pedantry out of the way. … Read More
I love the game I run for my antipodean friends but I do not love the time difference. I love the buzz that GMing gives me, there is a great deal of fun in creating stories with your friends. I started out a shared narrative roleplayer, tomorrow I’m DMing Dungeons and Dragons so that’s a … Read More
Wednesdays are one of my favourite days. I’ve mentioned this before, but today Work was tiring and the relaxation of eating chicken whilst killing zombies with MiL was very appreciated. Three days since my birthday and the world has moved on to other games and circumstances. The Jellicle spent the evening testing out a virtual … Read More
