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
GN est mon passe-temps principal. Pour moi, c’est une forme d’art valable, c’est peut-être la version amateur du jeu professionnel. Peut-etre non. De tout facon. L’année dernière, j’étais inquiet de ne pas avoir la capacité de jouer de grandes émotions. Pour mon anniversaire cette année, j’ai commandé un LARP de ‘The Abandoned Story’, le nom … Read More
I am a large proponent of Decompression after intense LARP. Today started with Breakfast and official debrief (after much of yesterday night/the early hours of this morning were spent unofficially debriefing. Then lunch, leaving, Birthday presents and gaming and drinking. A very good Decompression. I’m still processing the game, I think I will be for … Read More
I am still on the most intense emotional rollercoaster. We won, but at great cost. Also The Princess, Britney and Bonsai Kaiju NPC’d! It was so very good. Jellicle, Excellent Lesbian, Bilbo and I stayed up talking, dissecting the event and its resonances, as others gradually went to bed. I’ve never experienced such an emotionally … Read More
I love everyone’s costumes, it’s the first night of my birthday LARP and all the players are from different times. The NPCs are alive and we have The Teenage Boy, The Girl With The Golden Hair and Angry Young Man – I was wonderfully surprised by that last. As ever My Whisky Friend makes a … Read More
First day back at college today. I have a revision session on Tuesday, another on Thursday and then into an exam the Tuesday after. I’m feeling relatively confident about the exam, not sure if that’s misplaced or not. I enjoy studying massage, I feel like I’m very comfortable with bodies, like I really know what … Read More
Weasel and I are writing a one day Horror LARP set at a convention of Serial Killers. What do you mean you know what we’ve been reading? It’s entirely orig… yeah ok Sandman has been extensively bookmarked. Even if Neil Gaiman is often just a watered down Alan Moore I adore Sandman with the passion … Read More
I have pretty much just slept for two days straight, pretty much the only reason I got up today was work. The Boss needed a prescription picked up (technically I’m on holiday from them but available in emergencies) and The Magic Fan needed some socialising. I tried out Magic the Gathering Unstable for the first … Read More
